Cricut cards, baby, icecream....

Made some time tonight to make a few cards with my cricut... I love my cricut so much it has take over from my stampin obsession. I spent some of the weekend re-labelling the labels on my blog so visitors can search things more easily... hope it is helpful.

Cricut cards, bloom fence, alice in wonderland, bumble bee, mosaic fairy

Here are some cards made over the last few nights, firstly a fence from the bloom cartridge.







Next Alice from the disney classics cartridge....











Next a cute bumble bee from create a critter. This card design is from the cricut magazine - which I am loving! I gave up buying magazines as they cost so much and you end up with so many and nowhere to store them all... since buying the new cricut magazine, I cannot resist as they are so many great ideas in them.....
Lastly a fairy from a childs year cartridge which is also a design in the cricut magazine.....

Cricut - playing with my new toy!

Well, it's been a long tome since I posted anything on my blog, I have been very busy getting prepared for Christmas, visiting friends, and playing with my new toy. After seeing my friend Rel's new Cricut machine in action (Thanks Rel and Grant!), I was so keen to upgrade to one of these (Grant was right and Rel knew I wouldn't be able to resist!). I spent a day or two thinking about it and working out what cuttlebug stuff it would replace and then frantically selling my cuttlebug dies in order to cover some of the cost of the machine. Luckily they had $100 off and 3 free cartridges, so I snapped up the bargin and have since $500 off sales to cover the cost...

Unfortunately I picked up a cold last weekend so have been rather sick last week and am just starting to come right with only a cough left! So busy at work gearing up towards graduation this week and end of year results and thinga, I will be stuffed by Christmas as am struggling already, although the cold doesn't help. Strange to get my one cold of the year in December when it's usually in October.... Hope I am all better by Christmas, I can't wait to eat my turkey!

So here are some pics of the little things I have been playing with on my cricut. I am super impressed by this machine, more impressed than when I saw it. So pleased with the options of also doing gift boxes, cards and 3d items.... I love Winnie the Pooh too and am loooking forward to using him on a scrapbook page soon..... the tags are easy and heaps of designs, the coolest thing about this machine is that you can do any size you want up to 12x12". I have a few cartridges already and some more arriving tomorrow.

I'm gonna have lots of fun over the holidays!

Oh yeah, and the castle was heaps of fun to make!
