Just thought I'd also share a fun thank you card I made for a neighbor who brought Brandon and I some cranberry pumpkin bread recently. I had been wanting to make a thank you card using my new Tear Drop cartridge so I was very excited to have the opportunity. :-)

Grandma's Birthday Card
So I know I said I was going to post a wedding card today, but I've decided to submit that card to be part of the My Pink Stamper Design Team. I will post that card after the MPS Design Team has been announced.
For now, here is a super cute card I made to send my grandma for her birthday. She called me after it arrived in the mail and was excited I sent her a homemade card. She couldn't believe the cutout letters and thought it must have taken a long time. But thanks to my Cricut, I can cut sentiments out quick and easy! I LOVE IT! The card itself did take me a while b/c I'm such a perfectionist and have to measure everything just right. But after such a wonderful call from Grandma, it makes it all worthwhile! :-)

A New Start to an Old Hobby...
Okay... so I've never done this whole blog thing before, but I figured it would be a great way to archive my new adventures with an old hobby - scrapbooking. This time, thanks to my fabulous Cricuts (yes, that was Cricuts plural... I have the Cricut Personal Cutter and the Cricut Expression - and I LOVE them both!)... anyways, thanks to my amazing Cricuts, I have expanded my crafting to include card making, too. There is just something so rewarding and so relaxing about scrapping... whether for my own memories or to share with others, I LOVE SCRAPPING!
Brandon also enjoys my scrapping time as it means he is free to play his video games or watch the military channel / sports without me complaining. LoL. Seriously though, he is very supportive and only complains a little when I ask him to run with me to Hobby Lobby or Michael's "real quick" (HA!) so he can use a 40% off coupon along with me to get whatever supplies I just have to have this week. He is even the one who started calling me a Cricuteer - thus the inspiration for my blog title. Gotta love a supportive man! :-)
I will start posting pictures of my recent projects soon. Last night, I created a beautiful wedding card for friends who are getting married tomorrow. I have taken pictures and will post on Sunday (don't want the happy couple to see the card before we give it to them!).
Until then...
Happy Scrapping!
