Some Cricut Shares!

Hi All! Wew, how has your December been so far? Mine has been busy ever since Black Friday, seems like it hasn't slowed down since! :) I have NEVER been shopping on Black Friday before, I've always been too scared. :) BUT, I started going through the paper on Thanksgiving night and couldn't BELIEVE the sales that a lot of the stores were having! Learning how much money that I would save if I went shopping that night was enough to convince me to deal with the scary crowds. I texted Amy (who was ready and willing to go shopping at short notice in the middle of the night- she's a night owl like me!) and she and I left for Target at 1:30 AM. The store opened at midnight so a lot of people were done with their shopping already and waiting in the check out line. My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw that the line ran all the way to the back of the store! By the time Amy and I were done shopping an hour later though, there were only about ten people in line. We went to Kohls and Toys R Us after that and to my surprise the stores weren't even very crowded. Not to the extent that I had feared anyway. When we arrived home at 7:30 AM we were exhausted but so pleased. I can't believe that I got so many good deals! "Santa" is definitely going to deliver quite a haul to our house this year. :) I took a 3 hour nap and Alex, John and I headed out to hit the rest of the sales in town. Almost all of my Christmas shopping is done, yay! It took me awhile to re-cooperate from lack of sleep but it was worth it! I'm going to be a Black Friday shopper each year from now on for sure.

This week I have been playing with my Cricut along with the Cricut Craft Room. If you haven't tried it, you must. Wow! I love it! :) Make sure to head over to the Cricut Blog to see the newest exclusive digital cartridges that have been released this week. The design team has been creating so many beautiful projects, I am constantly inspired.

Here are a couple Cricut projects that I designed awhile back with the Just a Note cartridge. This cartridge comes preloaded on the Cricut Expression 2: Anniversary Addition, along with 3 others. The Just a Note cartridge instantly became one of my favorites!


One of the other cartridges that comes preloaded on the Expression 2: Anniversary Addition is the Cricut Decals cartridge. Here is a layout that I created with it:

Hehe, I love these pics of my puppy in her bunny ears! :)

Here is another layout that I created with the Robot Party Cartridge that was released a few months back. This cartridge is full of cuts and designs in order to create a whole Robot themed party. Invites, party favors, party bags, cupcake wrappers, etc! What's so fun about it is you can use it to embellish your scrapbook pages, cards, decor as well, the sky is the limit! Since layouts are my favorite I decided to use two robot images and a big bolt cut to create a scrapbook page.
