Anna Griffin's Book - Emboss, Cut & Create

I just received Anna Griffin's Book - Emboss, Cut & Create.
Oh my gosh is this book ever awesome!!
There are tips, tricks and projects to make.
It goes through how she inks the embossing folders.
Then it goes on to how she does all her other techniques in card making.

Did anyone else get it?

Easter Bunny Treat Holder

I purchased the svg file from svgcuts.com.
It was from the Bunny Hop Kit.

I decorated My Cricut Explore with Vinyl!!

I Decorated My Cricut Explore with Vinyl!
This is my first vinyl project ever! I am happy with how it turned out.
I am not into decorating my die cutting machines.
But I wanted to give it a try since I never done this before.

The Creation Station was done in my own handwriting.
I wrote out Creation Station on a white piece of paper.
I scanned the handwriting into my computer.
I uploaded the image into Cricut Design Space.
I cleaned up the image. I saved it as a simple image.
I chose the vinyl setting on the Cricut dial.
It cut out beautifully. It was so simple.
The flower is from the Sophie Cricut Circle Cartridge. 
I don't know why I haven't done more vinyl projects.
I guess I was uncomfortable trying something new.
I know I will be doing more vinyl projects in the future.
It was fun and easy to do!!

Happy Crafting!!

My Cricut Explore Arrived Today!!

 

My Cricut Explore arrived today!! I am so excited! So far I like what this machine can do. I'm very happy with the Design Space software. I bought a rolling utility cart to house my machines. 

Since the Cricut Explore requires an internet connection. I can just roll my machine over to my computer and cut away. I really like the set up I have with using a rolling cart. After I registered the Explore I was able to access the Anna Griffin Images that came with the HSN Cricut Explore package. I made some test cuts and I really like this machine. I am very excited to have it!!

Guys Craft Too!!

Chuck helping Emma make wings for her Barbie doll. Chuck prefers fussy cuts.

Happy Crafting!!
