I know what to do differently next year, this was my first Christmas with my cricut it became a little overwhelming...just think I have a year to work on Christmas cards. I really enjoyed making Christmas cards and loved all the beautiful ideas that was shared on cricut messageboard, blogs and youtube.

Cartridges used were Wild Card, Plantin Schoolbook, and Christmas Cheer.

I got the snowman idea from Dawn over on youtube.








This card & envelope is made from Wild Card Cartridge








And one last JOY card

CHRISTMAS CARDS

It's that time of the year, since I got my cricut I have been looking forward to this "making Christmas cards" so I will be posting these until I have mailed them all out. You will see the same card 3 times it will be a different design & different color so I hope you enjoy.
This card is from the Christmas Cheer cartridge so since I'm making cards why not try the one they have in the book it is a different size and I decided to do a little something else to the tree and the layout of each one.
Cuttlebug folder used are Swiss Dots.







By the way, I am so loving this cartridge.

Goodies from Michael's

I went to Michael's this weekend and I found some goodies, wooden block stamps just in time for the Christmas holidays. I have been debating on some stamps to get but just didn't see any I like but for the price of $1 sounds great to me, I'm gonna get some more to add to collection sometimes the stamps just don't have the sayings you want so instead of buying a stamp set with only one stamp that I like I tend to check this $1 bin out at Michaels.
