Happy President's Day - Cricut Flash Sale

I hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing President's Day. I am fortunate to get the day off from work, and plan to spend some time in my craft room playing with my Cricut Explore Air 2. I just love it, and don't get to spend enough time playing.

I was quite excited to see that Cricut is having a flash sale today, so I can stock up on supplies for all the projects I am dreaming of working on. If you want to check out the Flash Sale, you can see it here President's Day Sale

Be sure and use the code CRAFTY at check out, and you get an additional 15% off your order and FREE FedEx shipping!! *(not valid on Air 2 machines or Cricut Access orders)

I need some vinyl with sparkle and shine, and the Cricut Glitter Vinyl should do the trick. I am waiting for Amazon to deliver some hoodie style sweatshirts I ordered, so today will be a great day to design what I want to put on the sweatshirts when they arrive.

I will get the design worked out today and get the Cricut Glitter Vinyl ordered too, and when everything arrives, I will post the pictures of the projects I create.

I also wanted to share with you the gorgeous totes that Cricut has designed for traveling with your Cricut Machine. I take mine with me to crops about once a month, and having been using the canvas bag to carry it. These new tweed totes are beyond amazing. My sister has them and she thinks they look "very adult". They are very stylish and good quality, with lots of padding and magnetic closures on the flaps. Definitely a better option for transporting your Cricut and supplies than the canvas bag. I have put them on the top of my wish list now too. Check them out HERE

Whatever you are doing today, make it a great day! Happy Crafting!

February Cricut Mystery Box

I was very excited to receive my February Mystery Box from Cricut on Friday. It is always full of wonderful surprises, and this month was no exception. The Mystery Box was $39.99, and came with over $100 worth of items. Here is a quick recap of what this months box contained:

Their were four rolls of different vinyl included - Purple Glitter and Hot Pink Glitter Adhesive Vinyl, Stainless Purple Adhesive Vinyl, and Pink Champagne Foil Adhesive Vinyl.

Next, their were some pens - one black fine tip (0.4), one black medium tip (1.0) and a set of 5-Candy Shop medium tip (1.0) pens. I love the colors!

Next, there is a Days and Dates Cartridge. This cartridge has over 700 images, and I can already think of lots of uses...scrapbooking, cards, calendars, planners.....

And lastly, was this cute Cricut Cartridge Case designed to hold the cartridges, as well as the overlays and booklets that come with cartridges. It is a nice quality black simulated leather feel material with the super cute Cricut image on the front.

I love everything in this Mystery Box, and am now off to start using some of that vinyl. I can't wait to see what I can come up with.....

2017 Calendar Project

I was very excited to receive the new Cricut Explore Air 2 for my anniversary - the PINK one!!

Unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to play with, but I did jump in and try a quick project. Since it was the being of a new year, I decided I wanted to try a calendar of some sort. I received a free year subscription to the Cricut Design Studio, and thought I should start there.

I found a really cute calendar page set that was already designed in the projects, and was able to easily size the pages to fit an acrylic stand that I already had. All that was left was to pick the colors for each month. The project was already designed and saved in the projects sections of Design Space, so I am not sure which cartridge these pages are on, sorry.

My Cricut Explore Air 2, not only cuts the images, but also writes the dates on at the same time. I LOVE THAT!! and I just love the little cutouts: flowers, hearts and shamrocks!

The butterflies are just darling.

My camera didn't capture the purple and orange contract too well. This picture looks more blue, but still super cute.

I love the pumpkins and snowflakes. Almost makes me wish it were Fall again... almost.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my calendar. I can't wait to share more projects and ideas.
