It's been a long time since I've been able to blog. I've been spending more time making things for my group, Inchies-1x1 and Paperfollies, and now, experimenting with my Cricut.
I love searching online for ideas and tutorials and found the site, Fantabulous Cricut. They have a Monday Challenge and I've entered in two of them.
The first Fantabulous Cricut Challenge I entered was to make something containing a ghost. I used elements from Simply Charmed and My Community. Here's my effort...
My second entry in a Fantabulous Cricut Challenge was called 'for the birds'. I used the Pagoda Cartridge to create this...
Having the themes to provide a direction is fun and challenging.
While experimenting with Cricut cardmaking I realized I have the perfect gift for my sister this year. She gives a lot of Birthday and Get Well cards during the year so I am making her a collection of cards she can use. Here are some of the easy designs I've come up with so far...

| The cake and phrase are from Simply Charmed. One of the flowers is from George and Basic Shapes. |

The scalloped background is from Just Because. The words are from Simply Charmed; I punch a circle out where the little smiley faces are.
These are only a few of the items I've made. More will be posted later but, as you see, I'm really enjoying my cricut. |
