......a scrapbook family member that is. Her name is Cricut. I had resisted inviting her to be a part of our family for many years.
"I don't need her."
"I have too many scrapbooking tools and supplies already."
"I think it would be a waste of money."
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW SILLY I WAS!!! I purchased a small Cricut about two weeks ago and I truly don't know how I lived without her for so long. As soon as I opened the box I was addicted. Joann Fabric was having a great sale on cartridges so I treated myself and purchased several. I haven't stopped creating since. Because it has been such a long time since I have shared anything that I have created, I thought it would be fun to post some Cricut projects today. One of my very favorite cartridges is called Create a Critter. Several projects have been completed using it.
A banner for Emma.
A banner for Kate.
A sweet little lion card.
This next little card was made using the New Arrival cartridge.
I saved my favorite project for last.... I was asked to make a gift card holder for a friends wedding. I just knew that the border in the Cindy Loo cartridge would be the perfect thing for the icing on my "cake".
As you can see, I am having a great time with my new little "friend" I can't wait to create more projects to share with you. Check back soon----I am off to the studio to play.

Your projects are amazing! I love the journal book to keep track of Drew's activities...the animals in polka dots are so cute. I'm sorry that I didn't see the completed wedding cake gift card box in person...I'm sure the pictures don't begin to do it justice. There's no stopping you now Mimi!

Hi Mimi, Your projects are so adorable. I love the little journal. Your wedding card was beautiful. I am so glad that you are back and I will be stopping by to see what you have been doing. Your Missouri Friend.
I'd forgotten how creative your creations are--I'm going to once again enjoy seeing them! I hope you had fun playing today!! :-)
I have been trying to talk myself out of purchasing one for myself, but I think you just ruined that! What a beautiful batch of things you've made with it. I'm sold!
Such lovely banners and cards. My, My, that wedding cake box is amazing. So beautiful. Have a great weekend.
