Swap
We have been receiving items from Crystals Swap on the Cricut MB so I thought I would post a couple that I sent to my partner Princess Jamie.
We were supposed to stick to one theme and Jamie liked pink, frilly & bling so I went with that
Here are a couple pictures of the mini that I made. Jamie also likes Shabby Chic, but I really didn't know how to do that so I kinda combined her colors with vintage!!!!!
Hopefully she likes them both.
The last picture is my shoe and stickpins that I made. For my first attempt, I think they all came out cute.

Dress forms
Here is the Dress form that goes with the 2 Christmas Tags for Jana's Swap on the Cricut Message board.!!!
I used the MS leaf punch to punch out all the pieces to make the skirt. I cut the dress out of red sparkly felt and then covered it with the leaves. I used Glimmer mist on the skirt and base(lightly on the base)
I added a flower at the waistband to finish it off. I tried adding a necklace of some type but didn't like it, so this is the finished product.

Tags
Time goes by so fast!!!It seems like I just posted my dress forms for the Blog Hop.
This time I have a couple tags to share with you. These will be for a swap on the Cricut MB.
We have to make Christmas and Vintage Christmas tags along with a Dress Form. That is still in the works so I'll post it another time.
My first one is quite simple but I love how it came out. I used blue paper with snowflakes and then stamped it with 2 stamps that I had. I then heat embossed it with winter wonderland powder. Simple but nice for a Christmas tag or gift card holder.
I found the bell image online, rounded the edges, inked it with Vintage Photo Distress ink and added it to the green dotted background paper. I cut the "N" twice with chipboard and then once with paper. I inked this also. I then added scrabble tiles for the other 3 letters to spell "Noel" A final inking around the tag edge and I was done. I also added a red ribbon thru the hole in the top but took the picture before. oops!

Next is my Vintage Christmas tag.
I actually got this idea while looking for a Santa image to use on another project. I guess you could say that I scraplifted it.

Dress forms
I hope you all enjoyed the Dress Form Blog Hop!!!!! If you missed it, click on the tag to the right.
I had such a great time making those tags that I joined another Dress Form Swap on the Cricut Message Board.
This time we had to make just the dress form (with out a tag) and a dangle charm to match. We could pick from different themes. I was all set to do Christmas as my theme and then decided to just make it "Holiday Attire"
I made all the dresses the same but in different colors. I used suede paper, stickles and the Happily Ever After cartridge to cut the dress. (It is Cinderella's) I used the TH Sewing die for the forms but they were a bit too big so I altered them to fit my dress.
I have 1 more dangle to finish to go with my Black & Silver dress and then I will post that one also.
I have Blue with blue, Red with gold and then Red with silver. I made matching tags to attach the dangles charms to.

Dressed to the Nines
Welcome!!!!
I hope that you have been following the Blog Hop trail to view all the wonderful and creative Dress Form Tags that we have made for a swap on the Cricut message board.
In case you missed any along the way, here is the list.
Here are my creations for the 3 groups-- Designer's choice, Fall and TV/Movie Star.
Theme #1 was for Fall/ Thanksgiving so I decided to do an Indian. After doing a sample tag and checking with a friend, I was told it was too FLAT!!! Being a newbie to Dress Form Tags, I figured I'd better listen
So back to the drawing board I went.
Here is my finished Fall Tag. I used a tag from TBBM cartridge and made it the same size as the TH ones that everyone uses. The dress form was taken from the Nifty Fifities cartridge. I cut 2 each of the dress form and the outfit adhereing them together to add dimension. The dress is made out of suede paper and I added a few beads. I used my Cuttlebug for the pumpkin, chalked it and used a pop-up glue dot to adhere it to the tag.
The next group I joined was themed TV Shows/Movies, Celebrity etc
For this one, I choose to do the dress that Miley Cyrus wore to the 2009 Oscars. First is a picture of her dress and then my Tag. (I hadn't decided on my ribbon yet)I really like how it came out.. I layered lace for her dress and then added silver stickles to it. I put a band of ribbon and a brad on the waistline On the tag, I printed out an “Oscar” image off the internet and popped it up. On the other side I use some TH film strip. I found out that my ATG doesn't work well on lace. I changed to Fabri-Tac which worked great!!!
Here is my last tag!!! This was for the Designer's Choice category. I choose to make a summer dress and I included a straw hat! I used some leftover material for the dress and added pink lace for a belt and straps. I also used the ribbon on the hat and added some tiny pink flowers to both the hat and dress.
So there are my 3 Dress form tags!!! Thanks for joining us!!!
I hope you will come back and check out some of my other projects.

A few layouts using page maps
These layouts were done for the LID Challenge on the MB use page maps.The top layout I did using a picture that I took years ago. I used a photo program to take out all the color except the ornage on the Monarch. I love the picture and it worked well in the layout.
The background paper on the Alan Jackson layout was printed on my computer. I have a 12X12 printer and I love being able to make any background I want.
The 3rd layout is with some of my daylily pics. Eventually I'd like to do a layout of each of the color daylilies that I have.
