Waiting for the weekend!

I went to AC Moore on Sunday to get one of the new release Cricut cartridges, even after telling myself that I really didn't need them and would wait for the long anticipated "CAT" cartridge.  I picked up not ONE but TWO of the new carts!   I got them price matched for Joann's sale price of $39.99.  I picked up Cindy Loo and Freshly Picked.   I have them out of their box and linked to my Gypsy but haven't done anything else with them.  It has been a busy week so I am looking to play this weekend!  So by the weekend I promise to have projects using all of my new cartridges posted.

Here are my two new aquisitions from this past weekend.

Here is my eBay find for only $26 incl. shipping!

And just because I love this cart so so so much I thought I would ad it to this post too!

Cards from Saturday's Crop

I wasn't as productive as I had hoped I would be at Saturday's crop.  You know how it is, you get together with all of your crop friends and you talk more than you create sometimes!  But here are the few cards I did get done.   The two farm one's I scraplifted from someone on the cricut message board, I apologize that I don't remember her name (my bad) and then the hedgehog is pretty simple but I just love him!  I also used My Pink Stamper's Punylicious stamp set for the sentiments on the cards.  The deer I ran out of time for getting her on a card but she was just so adorable that I couldn't leave her out!

Cricut Obsession

I am totally obsessed with my Cricut Cartridges, Expression and Gypsy!   I think about what I can make with my cartridges all day long at work!   I troll blogs and get such great ideas from all of the ladies and men out there that are so talented.    I picked up the new Cricut Cartridge PRESERVES last night on eBay for $26 and free shipping!   I saw some really great paper in the new CTMH catalog that will be perfect to use with the PRESERVES cartridge.   I have an all day crop tomorrow and I plan on creating with my E and G all day!  I will post all of my creations either Saturday night or Sunday morning.  Hope you stop by and check it out.  Once I get my blog more organized and I get better at updating it several times a week with my creations I will start promoting more and have some blog candy!

Updating of Blog

I made some changes to the looks of my blog and I am committing myself to posting more of my creations and card/scrap related posts. I tried to scrap on Sunday night while I was watching the Survivor finale but my darn cat kept getting in the way, if he wasn't laying on my papers he was messing my Expression so I gave up!

I am attending an all day crop this Saturday and plan on working on cards. So look for an update on Sunday hopefully full of great new cards I made with my Expression and Gypsy!

Cards

Here are some cards I made this past Saturday at the crop I went to in Quakertown. I had a great time and made some fun cards I gave to my mother for Mother's Day. Here they are:

I used CTMH paper and inks, the stamp and punch were SU and I embossed with a cuttlebug folder.

Paper, stamp, ink and rick rack all CTMH and the adorable Hippo is from the new Cricut Create a Critter (CAC) cart.

Cardstock, stamps and ink CTMH, Patterned paper is Basic Grey Kioshi and the Panda is from CAC.

Again paper, stamp and ink CTMH and the Owl is from CAC.

I LOVE Create a Critter

Ok, Create a Critter (CAC) has to be Cricuts best cartridge EVER! I just love it! I am going to a crop on Saturday and I plan on making cards with it ALL day. And just so you know how much I LOVE this cartridge I failed to mention that I am the proud new owner of an Expression. I finally upgraded my baby bug to the E!! Here are two cards I made the other night with CAC. The cat is a shaped card I made by playing with the images and layers using my Gypsy another awesome crafting tool that I am finally getting the hang of using! The mushroom card I scraplifted from an image I saw on mypinkstamper's blog.
