Modge Podge meets Cricut

I used to play around with modge podge a VERY long time ago... like close to 15 years?! (eesh, i'm getting old)... I came across a container of it on sale and picked it up and it sat on the shelf for I don't know how long.  Since I've been following Modge Podge Rocks I've been itching to do something with it.  The itch has been scratched.  :)

Problem: toothbrushes & toothpaste in the drawer with everything else making an icky yucky mess (this can be blamed on the kids)

Solution: pick up some cheap organizing trays and label them (with MODGE PODGE and my super-handy-dandy cricut machine *happy sigh*)

And this is how they turned out:

I'm trying something new today... a link party. We'll see if I do this right... I'm amazed at how much inspiration I get from other people's projects and what I did today is a perfect example of what exactly inspiration is. 

I'll also give a shout out to  Modge Podge Rocks...

Aliens & Ewoks

It's Sci-Fi day at school.  Zane has no idea what he wants to be but is totally game to dress up like an alien.  Score for mommy, right?  An alien should be fairly easy to create.  Aidan is dead set on being an Ewok.  I don't even know where he figured out what an Ewok is.  I wasn't even sure what one looked like.  I had to google it to remind myself! 

These are the pictures the boys decided they liked and what I used for inspiration:

I feel like I cheated because all I made was masks... but the boys were happy with them and I didn't have to do as much work... just a bit of playing around in the Cricut Craftroom.  I purchased the Cricut Craftroom Exclusives Masks - Animals and just tweaked a few layers, combined and welded and voila... the finished products:

I'm not joking... these pictures make me full on GIGGLE.  Ohhhh *wiping the tears* I love my boys. 

Aidan the Ewok got some cotton ball fluff for texture and Zane the alien got a few extra wiggly eyes... he said he would need to keep his mouth closed for the smile because aliens don't have teeth.  LOL...
