Cricut Imagine Dust Cover

Hi everyone. I wanted a dust cover for my Cricut Imagine and saw some really pretty ones at Kathy's Cozies Etsy Shop. I decided to try and make it myself. Turned out pretty good for my first try. I need to find something to put on the front on the yellow strip. Maybe some football buttons or something.

Red White and Blue Cowboy Birthday Card

Hi! Here's a birthday card I made for a friend's 50th birthday. The party was a western theme so I decided to use the cowboy from A Child's Year cartridge.

Baby's First Embroidered Bibs

Hi all! Happy Friday. Just wanted to share the embroidered baby bibs I made for a baby shower last weekend. I downloaded these embroidery designs from Emblibrary. I really like their designs. They stitch out very nicely and there are tons to choose from. I embroidered these using my Baby Lock Elegante machine.
