Playing with the Cricut


Before I get on to my card, I have to say a HUGE thank you for all the congratulations messages yesterday - I really appreciate them all!

I've been playing with the Cricut this afternoon... I'm still at the 'let's hit this button and see what happens' stage really - I definitely don't know what I'm doing yet, but I'm having fun learning :o)  Apologies if it's all a bit boring while I'm playing with it!

I've cut the scallop card from 'Wild Card' at 5.75", the pink 'frame' from the same page... cut the spotty circle using 'Plantin Schoolbook', then cut the 'never enough cake' phrase and it's matching shadow from 'Once Upon a Princess' (yep, I've sneaked a couple of new cartridges into the house this week, they've gone unnoticed so far lol).  Added some punched flowers and pearls, and 'inked' the edges of everything with promarkers.  Not completely happy with it but it's not too bad!

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

    Lisa this is lovely. I've had my Cricut for a few years now and must admit I do not use it enough!! Seeing this might just inspire me to get it out for more than just a few flowers here and there. Hugs Denise xx

    Lisa it's so good to see you creating with your cricut, I don't seem to find the time to do much with mine other than cutting mat shapes and flowers so I love it when you do something different. This is absolutely fab! Think I may need some new cartridges, lol!!

    Hugs,

    How lucky you are to have a Cricut!! YOu seem to be having lots of fun creating and experimenting, and that's one of the joys of crafting, right? Getting to just play! I like the card and think it's cool how you did the letters.

    Hugs!!
