Cameo

Just because I have not posted to this blog in like forever...

Does not mean I have not been crafty lately!!  Actually quite the opposite!!

If I haven't mentioned it I have the best mom ever...for many reasons, but one of them being that she is great at giving me the shove gentle nudge that I need to be crafty.  Last Christmas Santa Claus my parents bought me a Silhouette Cameo.  If for some reason you are not familiar with this amazing machine...it is a cutting system that works along with you computer.  I have officially become obsessed!! 

So...

When we decided we are taking the kids to Disneyland for a big family vacation I started creating!!  I want the kids to do as little complaining as humanly possible for little kids, so I decided a game might help with that.

I have seen different versions of travel bingo, but I wasn't too enamored by anything I have seen, so I decided to create my own with my Cameo!!

And Voila...A quick zip through the laminating machine (courtesy of my mom) and we have a game!!

And because I am working towards the "Mom of the Year" award...

I continued creating!

I decided that their first trip to Disneyland would not be complete without an Autograph book!!  Again I was not impressed with the boring ones you can buy, so I created my own.  I got some inspiration via Pinterest which led me to Craft-O-Maniac.  I absolutely loved the Mickey Head, so I created my own using my Cameo.  I decided to make different ones for each of the kids and because I was having so much fun I made them each two.

So...what do you think??  My kids think I am pretty great, but I guess they might be a little bias!!

I have quite a few more projects to share, so consider my crafty blog....BACK!!!!
