just a random little post to boast about my little friend..the Cricut. Now i am not a "cricut master" my any means (though that title is pretty sweet)...i dont make full cards, teacher progress report boards, or garage sale signs ....heck, i only have 1 cartridge ;) buuut i do love how easy, cheap, and fast it is to make things look so much more handmade and personal ...and with my own little creative touches i think me and the alphabet cartridge do juust fine! ;)
i can make fun little card displays....
projects for me....
(this fun new project gets its true reveal at a later time...till then theres your sneak peak..im excited about this one)
additionally, as an wedding present for brent i made him a 2 volume scrapbook of our 5 1/2 years of dating! it started WAAY back when..like sophomore year... but b/c it was so expensive and took so long i wasnt as excited about it! i got my first little dicut machine for $20 buts...toting its portability...
now the machine itself was, yes, portable...but for each letter or design you had a different "tile" and you would stick that tile, along with a peice of paper, in between these two acryllic sheets and literally CRANK out an individual letter. This made the scrapbook look better...but MAN did it take freakin forever....
this page of the Brent and Lauren scrapbook collection is one of my favorites however due to this cranking bit it took me like 3 hrs to do this...
but then one day Jennifer came home with the best thing EVER, the Cricut... you just insert the paper on the sheet, TYPE the whole phrase you want, and VOILA cut and ready to go in seconds! AH-MAZING!!! heres a few post-me cutting, post-cranker pages...
so i know it was a bit random and with no intention of sounding like an overweight retiree who spends all her free time scoping sales at Michaels, i do LOVE this thing!!
