Treats!

Normally I don't share paper crafting projects because I don't do much of it. However, I am making an exception today because I love these little treat bags!

I picked up these little treat bags at a local scrapbook store. I only bought 24, but I probably should have picked up triple that many. I can see now that 24 isn't going to last me very long! They are fully lined with some kind of plastic so you can put whatever baked goods you want without worrying about the grease spots.

I have a confession. The Cricut machine I have been using is actually my sister's. I kidnapped it. She can have it back, just not right now.

Another reason I wanted to share this project today is the Independence Day cartridge is free to use in the Cricut Craft Room this week! All of the cutouts, except the star, are from the Independence Day cartridge. The star is from the Star Spangled Fun Layout, available in the Cricut Store.

I also used my favorite glitter spray, Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist in Ice, on the star and the firecracker. Unfortunately, you can't see the glitter since I used Instagram to take the picture. Note to self, don't use Instagram for sparkly stuff.

Have fun!

Glitter Academy Fun

Tonight I went to the Glitter Academy. It was so much fun! The food was good, the craft was frustrating (more on that later), and the company was great! I spent time with good friends, got to know other friends even better, and met some great new people. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures.

The Dessert Table, isn't it great?

The Glitter Academy was at Macayo's in Tempe. They did a good job hosting so many women. There were giveaways and contests and swag. Glittery swag, obviously. And a craft. 

The craft was to decorate our swag bags with Cricut's glitter iron on vinyl. It's a great concept, but the cutting machine did not cut all the way through the pink glitter iron on vinyl. It seemed to work just fine on the silver glitter iron on vinyl. It was very frustrating so I didn't even finish. My bag is still plain black. I would use the glitter iron on vinyl if my design was simple and I could use a pair of scissors. Clearly there is still work to be done in the product development department on glitter iron on vinyl.

Even though the craft was a bust, it was a great night out!
