I recently purchased the Cricut Wild Card cartridge and it is amazing! You can make a variety of cards in a very short period of time. I will be teaching a class on October 27th that features this cartridge. This card only took me 10 minutes to make with Design Studio and the Cricut machine.
We will be making the following items during the November 2, 2009 class plus the other items identified on a previous post. The class is from 6-8 and is $15.00. Please send me an email to register or stop in and register at Ben Franklins.

I just received this stamped card from my niece Mandy and my sister Diane. I think the card is so cute that I had to share! 
I love making paper bows and we will be making these bows as part of our November 2, 2009 class at Ben Franklins. I will post more details next week. Paper bows are so simple to make and you can use them for any occasion.
Each bow takes one half of a 12 x12 inch double sided sheet of paper.
I am having so much fun crafting. This is a post-it note cover that would make a great gift for your child's teacher. This will also be part of the November 2nd Christmas craft class at Ben Franklins. You can sign up at the store or email me directly.
Todays projects include a card and envelope holder. We will make this card holder during my class at Ben Franklin's in Helena, MT
Hi, I have been gone for awhile but now I am back! I am reintroducing myself to my Cricut and just bought Design Studio. I love it. Design Studio allows you to do so many things with the Cricut. Below is a gift card holder made from the wild card cartridge using Design Studio. This project will be part of an upcoming class to be held at Ben Franklins.

Check out this great free site. I listen to this site while making cards. Enjoy!
Now that I have recovered from foot surgery, I am back crafting. I can't believe Christmas is only three months away. Time to get busy. Last year I did Iris folding cards for Christmas. Here is one of my favorities.
I am still making Christmas cards but decided to use the same format for a Birthday Card. Looks like it will be Christmas in August before I get my cards done.
I thought it would be a great time of year to start working on Christmas cards for next year. I made this card last year and I am thinking about modifying it for Christmas 2008. I love the colors and the paper.
Hi! I am finally back after taking a break from crafting. I love to craft, however, I needed some time to focus on my other interests. So sorry for the lack of posts. Needless to say, I am still working on maintaining a sense of balance.
During my absence, I spent time getting healthy and getting into shape. One of my best discoveries was the Hungry Girl website and cookbook.
Click here to check out a great resource. Now we can have healthy treats while we craft.
Thanks for checking in again and it is great to be back!
