Waiting For My Little White Box...

Do you use a Cricut to enhance you Papercrafting?  I have to say, although I love my punches I'm not quite sure where I would be without my Cricut.  I'm kind of old school in the fact that my favorite is my first love, the original Cricut Personal Cutter.  My tried and true 6X12 friend but times and technology change and I advanced to the Cricut Expressions 2 a few years back and it has been a love/hate relationship between us.  Can you relate?  I love that it is 12X12 but I sure do miss my dial & keypad.  Truth be told I still have to use my manual to get just what I want but hey its okay...Really!

Ask me WHY and I'd have to say my Close To My Heart Cricut Collections.  Yep, that was what drew me in.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that we partnered with Provo Craft to create custom designs that work perfectly with our My Acrylic Stamp Sets!  And with the release of the new ARTISTRY product (Z3190), I am super stoked to have recently ordered it insert "HAPPY DANCE" :)  Have you seen it yet?

I can't wait to try it out!  I've seen the pins and posts and cannot wait for my "Little White Box!"  In the meantime, check out a few of my favorite creations I've snagged from some of my talented CTMH Sisters.

Interested in learning more about the Close To My Heart Cricut Collections, visit my website to check out all FIVE Collections, each includes; Cricut Cartridge, 3 Size D Stamp Sets and Cardstock.

BTW, remember my love/hate relationship with my Cricut E2 ;)  I have a Cricut Explore Air on order!  As I mentioned technology changes and I'm trying to stay current, cannot wait to see how it works with my laptop and iPad.  The thought of creating from anywhere intrigues me!

Happy Creating!

Two Months...

Where does time go?  Guess I was on sabbatical the last couple of months ending school, starting summer and dealing with my back.  Lots of changes to come over the next couple of months.  It's time for change, some sad endings but happy adventures ahead.

As you go about your week, keep the Kingdom in mind and refresh your mind, body & spirit!

Blessings for a Beautiful Week!

Typed Note...

Wow, April has flown by with many changes in our household.  Holding fast to God as I begin this new season in my life and I think my word is BALANCE.  I've added my beloved parents to our household and we are settling into new routes as we manage teens and parents.  I am so Thankful to be able to help!

With 4 days left this month I wanted to make sure you know about Close To My Hearts current Stamp Of The Month..."Typed Note" available for only $5 with a $50 qualifying order through April 30th.  I truly love the Vintage Retro look and abundance of sentiments with this stamp set.
