Cricut Expression

The Cricut Expression and the Gypsy came just now!!! I just got them out of the box. I have to wait to play with it though - I have some planning and grading to finish up before I can play...at least I have some motivation to get my work done efficiently! Plus, I need something to do tonight, AJ is flying back from Baton Rouge and I'm waiting for him to land :)

I just wish I had some pictures to scrap! There are a ton of November birthdays in my family, I can always start the birthday cards!

Corn Maze and Pumpkin Picking

Okay - its finally done! I feel like I've been working on this page forever because I had to keep stopping and starting! I cut the "Pumpkin Picking Time" title using the Sizzix eclips seasonal cartridge, and I cut all of the pumpkins out using the Halloween cartridge. I attached a two sided adhesive sheet to the cardstock before I cut so I could use flocking to give the letters and pumpkins a fuzzy look (also because I just bought it and who doesn't want to use the new things right away!). For the corn maze page, I cut strips of paper 1/2" wide and attached cut out "leaves" to give the idea you were in the corn maze. I also used the Martha Stewart fall fence post with the different arrows to give an idea of how lost we were! The letters for the title were also cut on my eclips, but using the Sassy Serif alphabet.

I hope everyone had a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Cricut Expression

As a teacher, election day means conference day. This year, we skipped the lunch break so our day ended early - which means that I got home early enough to catch the scrapbooking hour on HSN. Today, they were featuring the Cricuit Expression and Gypsy together crazy on sale! I couldn't turn down the price, so I turned off the tv...unfortunately for me and my credit card, I left my computer on. Long story short, it'll be here soon. I can't wait to start using it!

Anyway, I'm off to finish my Halloween pages, hopefully I will get at least one posted tonight!
