Why I love my Cricut

I'm sure there are people out there who don't understand how I can be so passionate about a cutting machine....but what can I tell you? I'm obsessed!!

Those great designers over at Provocraft will never cease to amaze me with the amount of fantastic designs they come up with for every new cartridge.  The Disney cartridges always cause a great flurry of enthusiasm amongst the majority of Cricut owners and the last one (Disney Classics) is no exception.  Whilst I am waiting for mine to arrive, my friend Dawn has lent me hers to have a play!! (thanks Dawn :D)

 
There are so many things I want to make with this cartridge, but here are the few that I made today

 

Jimini Cricket. This is a BIG card.  Jimini is 10" tall just to give you an idea of the scale.

 

Thumper. 

 

The biggest surprise for me was this cute owl clock

 
 Dinah the cat from Alice in Wonderland.  I made mine in the colours of my cat, Bobbi-Sox.  The sentiment inside reads "I missed your birthday"

Happy New Year

 
Happy New Year everyone!  With a New Year comes New Year's resolutions....and mine is to keep more up to date with my blog.

Mike and I headed to London for the new year.  WOW!!  the fireworks were something else.  We had a great view of the London Eye and Big Ben (I know, I know, Big Ben is the bell inside the clocktower!!)

  

 
I've still been busy with my Cricut machine and here are a few of the cards I have made in the last few months.

So, I will say cheerio for now.  Be sure to check back here next  Monday (17th).
