So I’ve told the world about my new Cricut…the one I got for
Christmas from THE best husband on the face of this planet!! I am so excited about it that I’ve decided to
start a crafting blog. My thinking is
that I’ll have a place to share my creative ideas, complain about my ideas that
bomb and hopefully get more great ideas from people that read the blog.
If you know me, you know that I love to craft. I don’t have any
million dollar ideas or anything. But I love
to craft! My boys are ….well, boys…and too old to appreciate it like I do. So, I need people that will get excited with
me, praise my awesome artwork and potentially stop me from creating disasters! I
know some of my other friends (and my beautiful, awesome sister) have a Cricut
too so maybe we could work on some things together. I think personalizing
something says so much more than how much you spent on it or where you bought
it. The invitations I made for the
Halloween party in 2010 were pretty sweet. But seriously, a 3rd grader
could’ve done it. In fact, if you looked close enough, you would’ve thought
that was the case. My cuts were all over
the place and generally, it was a little too busy. But we are our own worst critic, right? They
were cute. I loved them. But I could’ve made them much faster and nicer if I
would’ve had a Cricut back then!
I just can’t wait to get started on the invitations,
greeting cards, gift tags, labeling, picture frames, bookmarks, ornaments…..and
all the other fun things I have planned for this genius piece of machinery. I’ve
played with it a little already, trying to figure out the ins and outs. But my first real project is going to be….eh,
hem…..drum roll please…..bbbdddddddddddddddddddd…..Oh, wait. I don’t know what
to call it. Crap! Well, I would like to
make something cute to organize all my coupons.
Not necessarily a coupon book
or a coupon box. It’s going to be so
much smarter than that. My brain is on overload right now with all the ideas
bouncing around in there! I even went
and bought a new cartridge today specifically for this project! (to add to the
2 that came with the machine and the extra my hubby got me!) It was only $20,
shipped. It has a ton of cute little
food oriented cuts. I am so stinkin’
excited!! I’ll post some pictures either
as I go or when I’m done. Knowing me, I’ll
have it done by the end of the weekend.
Ha! I guess that all depends on when that new cartridge arrives.
So thanks for reading yet another blog of mine and I can't wait to get started! Please, please, please comment, make suggestions, ask questions....get involved. If all goes well, maybe I'll try to sell some of my creations on Etsy or something. :-)
