I finally convinced myself that I had plenty of thing to make to justify buying a Cricut. So I saved up some Christmas money and a few giftcards that I had won, and I bought it! I've only had it out of the box for about two weeks, and I've only cut out a few things....but I LOVE it! I can see this being SUPER helpful with all kinds of school projects, birthday parties, and crafts. I can't wait to start using it more...and if anyone has any great ideas or blogs to share let me know.
So far this has been one of my creations:
It is a simple frame from Target. I used solid color paper for the background and cut out the B on some cute scrapbook paper.
I hot glued the ribbon to the back and tied a bow. Pretty easy to do and SUPER cute!
I also made these:
I am planning on mounting them on a bigger board to hang in my hallway. I also made these so that I can change the pictures up for different times of the year. I am thinking "HOP" for Easter,"USA" for the 4th of July, "BOO for Halloween, and "Joy" for Christmas!
I am having a blast playing around with my new Cricut. Is it sad that I am looking forward to the boys' next school project, so I can use it some more?!?
Oh how creative. I love the letter B that is adorable!
ReplyDeleteOH MY WORD!!!!! I LOVE THESE!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteMy, My, that "B" IS Adorable! It would look especially adorable in MY house! Oh wait, it IS in my house now!!! Thanks again for that cute happy! Sorry I'm just now sayign thank you. I refuse to check email on the weekend and had a REALLY bad day at work yesterday, so I didn't get to it. I REALLY love the B. :)

That looks like one fun toy for mom! Have fun being creative.
ReplyDeleteSo cool, Kelli! I had a feeling you got a Cricut. I've wanted one for a long time, but I'm not sure where I'd put it, nor do I have the money right now. Maybe next year?
ReplyDeleteYou are so stinkin' creative! I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I've been trying to convince myself (and the hubby!) that I need a Cricut, but no luck so far! Enjoy your new toy!
ReplyDeleteI love those! I love letters and these are beautiful! I have friends who have a Cricut...and all the FUN things you can do with it...great idea with the three frames to change for all seasons!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've looked at those several times, but I'm so not crafty or creative...you make it look so easy!! What a fun new toy. I love the B.
