Countdown to the Holidays Small Boards

I have posted these boards before in the large side.  But I had some of my friends that don't have the wall space ask for the smaller version.  So, I busted it out and designed the smaller boards.  Here they are in a 12 X 20 inch size:

Back to School Countdown Board

Number 4:  Every Mother's favorite holiday.....wait for it....Back to School, which my husband says is not a holiday.  But I beg to differ!  Hello!  Primary colors, of course make this board so much fun.  I used both the  Cricut and Eclips for this one.  It came together so nicely, don't you think?

Cricut cartridges used:
Walk in My Garden was the only one for the inch worms

I'm really using the Eclips more than the cricut when I can.  The software is SOOOOOO much easier to design in then Cricut craft room, which is sad because I love my cricut so much.  Provo Craft needs to pull their head out.  They are missing a real opportunity here!  I digress, here's the pic:

Back to School bulletin board

Well, back to school is  in full swing and I just completed our first bulletin board of the year! Well, actually I did it a week and half ago, but I'm just now posting it!  I really wanted to do a train theme and decided to try to incorporate all the events for the PTO that we have scheduled so far and this is what I came up with.

I used the My World cricut cartridge to do the train, the Nate's ABC's for the clouds and words, and the Birthday Bash for the HOOVER letters.  The kids love to see the changes we make to their board every month, so this year I have some really colorful boards planned.  Now lets see how well I execute them!

Cooking with Cricut challenge #99

For the Cooking with Cricut challenge this week I made this entry for the back-to-school theme.  I cut the apple from the Plantin Schoolbook.  This is such a go-to cartridge for me.  So there you go, simple and to the point.
