Michi Photostory

The design is from the Main Road Digital Creations website. Instead of using vinyl or HTV for the Happy Birthday and balloons, I changed the function to “Draw” and just colored the Happy Birthday using Ohuhu Glitter Marker. Also, I cut the balloons multiple times so I don’t need to use foam tape for each balloon. You can also use this design on greeting cards. 

Trivia: Sa family namin, ang dami may birthday ng August. There are 31 days in August pero nagsisiksikan kami ipanganak sa 2 araw lang, Tipid sana kung sabay-sabay na lang magcelebrate kaso kahit same birthdays, different personalities kaya iba-iba ng ways para magcelebrate. 

On my birthday alone, 5 kami na magkakabirthday. Kabirthday ko yung brother ko, niece, aunt-in-law and cousin-in-law. Also magkabirthday din ang youngest sister ko, sister-in-law and brother-in-law ko.

Yesterday, the school posted the schedule and reminders for next week and I read na may color coding so this year, “Blue”. Wrapping notebooks and books is not my favorite thing, so I watch a movie while wrapping my son’s notebook. No labels yet because I am still waiting for the “Section”. 

Speaking of back to school, last month Cricut Philippines had Back to School Demos and I watched all the replays and made some of the projects. I already shared the Faux Leather Pencil Case and First Day of School Sign Board. 

Here are the other projects that I tried. 

This is a print-then-cut project, I used a sticker and glitter photo top. 

This is a draw-then-cut project, I used stickers and Cricut pens. 

I made magnetic bookmarks before but this time I used my leftover faux leather to make this magnet.

A few years ago, I purchased a Printable Iron On Paper and did not use it right away so last December when Cricut Philippines had a Christmas Challenge, expired na yung Dark Transfer Tape na nabili ko so hindi ko na nagamit. I purchased a new one pero hindi na umabot sa deadline yung order so hindi ko na naman nagamit. It was only last month na ginamit ko. Buti pwede pa but I need to remind myself na gamitin ko na lahat bago pa mag-expire. Mahal din kasi yung materials. 

I am happy with my first Printable Iron On project. The Game Over Back to School Design is from Nancy Better Life Blog and The Alphabet M is from Love Cynthia's website. 

There are still 3 demos that I watched but I did not make the craft projects because I was busy doing something else. I did not do the tracing mat and felt pencil topper because my son is already a teenager. I will do the faux leather bag tag next time. I am just waiting for my order. 

I also made this Back to School Scrapbook Title, I don’t have a scrapbook but I will put this on my son’s school album. You can also use this as a cake topper. This is a layered craft project using Moon and Latte font. 

I like trying different papercraft projects because it is one way of knowing what I like and what I don’t like to do. Among the 14 projects, vases, daisy flowers, and rolled paper flowers are my least favorite because I prefer layered projects. 

I have limited time to blog so I’m sharing the different layered cards I made last month. My mom asked me to make a wedding card because she is attending a wedding. I made two cards but only gave her the Floral Best Wishes Card. 

I used pearlescent cardstock, glitter cardstock, and Ohuhu glitter markers to make this layered card. This Floral Best Wishes Card is flying to the United Kingdom this week. Buti pa yung card ko makakapunta na sa United Kingdom. 

Wedding Cake Card 

Another Wedding Cake Card using pearlescent cardstock and glitter cardstock. 

The following Thank You Cards are from Craft With Sarah website. 

But I will share my growing collection of gnomes. I started collecting gnomes last year when I joined Craft with Sarah Countdown. I already shared some of her gnomes on my blog but I still have a long list of gnomes I want to cut if I have extra time. 

You can purchase an Instant Access Bundle of these two craft countdowns or per gnomes on her website or Design Bundles.

I already cut some of these gnomes multiple times like Coffee Gnomes, Teacher Gnomes, and Cricut Crafting Gnomes.   

This is supposed to be rainbow gnomes but I changed the colors.
