Megan made cards to show support for our those who are serving




Megan made the cards above this week of Memorial Day to show gratitude to all of those who are serving.  The first card goes out to her cousin.  The second card was given to a friend to pass on to a service person for the 4th of July week.   We hope all are having a great Memorial Day today- and remember those who are serving and their families.

Graduation Time


This graduation card incorporated the colors of this special bride to be into the letters of the card and lining of the card. Who says graduation cards have to be boring? Working with different shapes is fun too.

Special thank you from special students

The students at Bishop Ahern high school were fortunate to have Mr. Charles LaGanga as the principal for a day on May 5, 2011. The students proudly showed Mr. LaGanga around the school and impressed him with their school spirit and smiles. Megan put together this thank you note to show him how excited they were about his visit. She actually had more ideas but ran out of room on the card!

Megan's proud of the Mother's Day card she made for Nanny





Showing appreciation


The students in my daughter's high school know they are lucky to be in a great school.  Megan made this for Teacher's Appreciation day.

Disney meets martial arts


Megan made this card for a friend who loves Disney- hence the Tinkerbell- but also just told Megan she wants to see the movie Kung Fu Panda.  I guess our kids do listen when it interests them!

SWEET SISTER'S 15TH BIRTHDAY CARD


Megan made this card for her sister's 15th birthday.  She knows her sister is very creative with the cricut machines and also has great aspirations.

Birthday card for Stylin' new friend of Megan's!

Megan loved picking out the colors for this one.  She really liked picking out the style of the bag and wanted a ruffle on the blue dress.  It is hard to see but there is blue ribbon on the dress and "bling" on the bag and flower.  The hat is three dimensional with a fabric flower.  Megan designed and made this card this morning.

Megan and part of her story

Watch the clip below and see Megan - she is the second person.  Megan has always done a LOT of volunteer work- jsut like her sister, Erin, her dad- Danny and her mom- Linda.  Provocraft made it a lot easier for Megan to help even more people!

Favors for local charity

Megan made 127 of these favors.  The teapots had info on the charity we were raising money for that day.  Megan used her Cricut Exression machine- and many, many trips to Michael's for the Bling. Using her paper cutting machine, she made these teapots which were covering the "favors" - teabags for the attendees.   Everyone liked the idea and it helped also give out info about the Columbiettes.  Megan is the YOUNGEST Columbiette in our Council.  She continues to be active in her charity endeavors by volunteering to  make posters and other items for the fundraisers the Knights of Columbus and Columbiettes support.
Using technology like her Cricut Expression and Imagine machines, she can make cards, posters, favors, and many more  items.  Since Megan is limitted in the use of her hands, scissors and markers do not work for her.  She can use a computer and these machines use cartridges and computer programs to cut what she envisions.
