My Cricut and Cameo get a workout for Autism Awareness!

Tomorrow kicks off our annual month long Autism awareness donation drive at ACMoore.  Each year ACMoore and Easter Seals partner together to help raise awareness for Autism. Their stats say 1 in 110. But new info from Autism Speaks says 1 in 88. This is scary how these numbers are rising so and we need to do something to help.

I teach my cricut classes here at ACMoore. I have taught here since 2007. I can truly say I love my job. I teach and make inspiration for displays in the store. What could be better than to craft all day? See previous posts for upcoming classes and samples.

I was challenged to make our "Inspiration" for the store go over the top to promote this campaign. I have things inside to promote, and the big window outside.  I am quite proud if this advertising project. Above is our store front window! Come in and take a look there are many displays like this throughout the store :)

Thank you SVG Cutting Files for the wonderful file I bought and used of the kids. Puzzle pieces for the windows and store displays like these glass blocks were from CTMH Cricut Artiste cartridge (I bought from me :) click the link on the side bar for yours) Yes my cricut and cameo both got a work out last week.

Some projects with my new Cameo :)

First I want to say I LOVE MY CRICUT!!!!!!! I still craft with them everyday and won't be getting rid of them anytime soon. That said I also wanted to try something new so........I did get the Silhouette Cameo for Christmas. I have been having a lot of fun looking at all the great creations and files everyone has to share. The one that intrigued me the most was the split letter monogram letters. I could not do these with my cricut. 

I was also able to create this Star ornament as a baby gift for a good friend, from the Silhouette Studio files as well as make a template for the larger star I have available for me to decorate from ACMoore.

Star Tree Topper

I liked my tin star so much I decided to make a 3d star tree topper. It is a Lori Whitlock file from the silhouette store cut on my Cameo and blinged up my way with the poinsettia cuts from the CTMH Artiste cartridge and my Cricut. See I told you they would play nice together :)
