Cutie Snowman...

Here's a little card I had fun making yesterday.  I was suppose to be making my Christmas cards but I had to try out this cute little cut too.  (Don't worry, I got half of my Christmas cards done.)  I just think it's too cute that he's  holding a little Christmas tree.  It's more like a tag than a card.  It's about 5 inches by 3 inches.  I used the Winter Frolic and Elegant Edges cartridges. 

I am determined to have my Christmas cards mailed on Monday.  That's actually way better than last year.  I think I mailed them after Christmas.  :)  All my Christmas shopping is almost done.  Just a couple more little things that I will pick up tomorrow and I am done.  My favorite part is the wrapping.  I love sitting on the living room floor surrounded by presents and wrapping paper.  I usually watch a movie or TV show on Netflix.  One of my favorite things to watch while wrapping presents is Everest:Beyond the Limit.  I know, I know, it's not very Christmas-y but there is lots and lots and lots of snow so I'm okay with it.  Although I may be watching episodes of 24 this year. 

What's your favorite gift wrapping ritual?

Big Foot...

 I finally had a couple hours today to play with my Cricut.  I felt like a kid who had just opened a toy for Christmas they had always wanted.  :) 

I played around with my Campin' Critters cartridge and came up with this little, or should I say BIG, card.  I meant to make a card that was standard size but since I am getting use to sizes on the Cricut it ended up being pretty big.  It's about 6X6.  I like making cute, little cards but I still like this one. 

I had to cut out this Big Foot.  I think he's just too funny!  Plus I live in the Northwest and when you live in the Northwest you've got to believe in Big Foot.  I watch ALL the You Tube videos.  ;)  But seriously one has to wonder just a little bit. 

I used a CardzTV stamp for the sentiment.  It is from her "Encouraging Thoughts" stamp set. 

On the back of the card I used one of my stamps from Norajane.  I love all of her sweet little stamps.

My new Cricut...

Look what came for me this last week!  My new Cricut paper cutting machine!  This is to card makers and scrapbookers what a sewing machine is to a sewer.  Now you definitely don't have to have one of these to make cards but it sure is nice!  :)  

This is the first cut I made.  It's from the Campin' Critters cartridge which I love!

I can't wait to try all the cuts from this cartridge. 

I also have the Elegant Edges cartridge and the Cricut Classic Font Cartridge.  I know I am going to use Elegant Edges like crazy for card making. I can't wait to start scrapbooking all my pictures from this past summer.
