St. Patrick's Day Table Scape

My DIL Jenn and I have started to do a table scape for each month.  Here is our March St. Patrick's Day table scape.  We have a lot of fun crafting together.  I cut out and put together the pot of gold and she cut out the Leprechaun foot prints and the Good Luck with the shamrock in the frame.   Jenn gathered things that we had like the cake plate.  We use that for just about every occasion.  I have a set of 3 of them.  We change out the ribbon as needed this time we use a Close To My Heart Sweet Leaf ribbon.  The green is the perfect color.  The Rooster usually sits on our counter top.  The glass jar with the wooden lid was a hostess gift from my Cooking Club.  Jenn and I both have quite a collection of milk glass and the Tea cups are gift's that I and my Granddaughter have gotten over the years.

Jenn used Green Glitter paper to cut out the Good Luck and the Shamrock.  She used a make it now project with the Cricut Design Space.  The Leprechaun foot prints are the cutest thing ever.  The gold frame I pick up at a garage sale (best find ever).

The pot of gold is also cut out with the Cricut from the make it now projects.  Its not easy to put together but once I did it made it worth it.  The pinwheels are part of the project too I added some Close To My Heart buttons from my stash and some embroidery threat too.  Our Close To My Heart paper is double sided and so I just use some scraps from my stash.  I attached the pinwheels to gold striped straws that I have and cut them off a different heights.  Did you see that Leprechaun run across the cake plate!  Luckily he left behind more prints.  #makeitnow, #CTMH, #madeitwithmycricut.

Phone Case for St. Patrick's Day

Can you tell I have been having fun with my new Cricut Explore.  Today I made a new artwork for my phone case.  With my Cricut Explore that I bought on HSN came with a 3 month subscription to the Design Space so I am trying to get my use out of it and see if it is something that I will continue with.
I wanted to make a new display for my Galaxy Note II.  I love that I got a clear case when I bought it at Costco.  I try to put something new in when I can.  You can see them all here.  Oops I guess I haven't kept up on all the ones I have made.  I change mine out every month.

I used the cell phone canvas in the CDS and when you open it up there is a drop down box that gives you choices of different ones.  It does have my Galaxy Note II.  I used the circle and an ovals in Art Philosophy.  I attached them together and put it over the picture on my mat.  Then I welded them to the ribbon and abracadabra it was a cutout.  Love it! Love it!
I must say that my Explore is AWESOME!!!  It cut perfectly and so small every time.   I just can't say enough about the way it works and how easy it is to use.  My only problem is that it can cut smaller than I can see.  LOL!  Guess I need to get some doctors glasses that have the little microscopes on each eye.  Won't that be cute.  But hey then I will be able to see the little dots and dashes that I have been cutting out.  I can not believe that it can do what it does.  I am still getting the hang of the svg files but it will come.
Thanks for stopping by.
