(My amazing Hubby who never critiques my stuff said he needed legs lol) So I added some with word window punch and a 1/4th inch circle

I cannot take complete credit for his awesomeness. Although I'd like to lol here is the link for the svg file Treasure Box Designs I changed it up a bit but not tooo much because I'm pretty new to this whole process.

Here's a list of What was used:
Cricut-Sure Cuts a Lot Version 2.o
Ink- Tea Dye from Tim Holtz
Embellishments- Black Gems from Tulip assortment pack of heat gems (ANY heat set gems can be used with your i-rock)

Crazy About Cricut

This was beyond fun! Jenny Over at Crazy About Cricut asked the DT to make something for Halloween/Fall that involves family. We are all about Family Fridays. We actually do our Family Evenings on Fridays! So this fit in soooo nicely. So here is what the kids and I created with our Cricut. Please go over to Jennys blog and see what the other fabulous DT members created for you this week.

The kids designed their entire bags with the design studio. Each one got to make something to match their outfit. So we followed the directions that we found on one of my most favorite blogs Joy's Life. And we made these bags they were super easy to make and oh so much fun. The kids were grinning from ear to ear just because they did it all on their own with a little ironing help from mom! Thanks everyone for coming by and here is a video detailing exactly what was done. If it doesnt show you can always go to the direct link Here
