Cricut Imagine

So totally not impressed with this machine. It prints and cuts. Big deal. The ink is expensive, it own't up hook up to the design studio and the colors are flat and the images are not very cute. The projects they have shown look to manufactured and not hand made. I think I will buy a new expression to stock up. I have a ton of Cricut carts (thanks to my wonderful sis), and I love shopping for paper. I don't want to just print paper, I like to touch feel and stock up. I think that PC has dumbed down the machine by only offering cut size to only 11.5 in, and I can cut to 23.5 inches. I am so glad I didn't go crazy and try to convince my husband I needed one of these.

Birthday Card

Here is a birthday card I made for my best friend. I used the Forever Young and Songbird carts and an EK border punch. I like it. The FY cart is one of my favs because it is a little older looking.

Challenge -

I belong to a msg board group that does a challenge. I did them all, but for some reason, I lost the card that had patriotic and the embellish and wet emboss. Oh well, here is what I do have.

- Cut something related to summer

- Dry Emboss a shape

- Cut anything

Card Swap

So the group that I belong to (LMNO-Pea) does a monthly card swap. We had to do a card, based on a sketch and this is what I did. I like it a lot. One of my more creative things and totally out of my comfort zone. I'm kind of a layer - one print kind of a girl.

Fathers Day -

So I wrapped Deans gifts in brown paper and then decorated them with things I cut from my Cricut. He is a truck driver so I turned Mac into a FedEx truck. Our daughter loves to dance with him so I cut out Cinderella. He loves the NRA and would like to hunt so I cut out a hunter. It was a lot of fun. A long day, but totally worth it!

Fathers Day -

I am the Team Mom for my sons football team. These are just a few of things that I did for the team. I made the necklace for myself and my mom and mother in law. It was a hit. The first pice is of the award table at the season ending pizza party. I baked and frosted the cake, and brownies.

This is the Valentines Day card I made for my Grandma.

This was a card that I made for my sons preschool director. She is awesome and got him started the day after he was registered!

This is one of the Valentines Day cards that I made. It was for my niece.
