I partnered with Murphy's Law today. If it could go wrong, it did. Hopefull tonight will be much better. I went to a Cricut Expressions class last night. The Rep. was looking at my brand new Cricut and proceded to tell me that there was a problem with how the cutter housing was sitting. The arms around the housing don't mesh and makes the housing tilt. Not good. Got the machine at Michaels, so I went there this morning (couldn't find the sales slip) to exchange the machine. I was told they wouldn't do anything because I couldn't prove I bought it there. All I wanted to do was exchange the machine! I will now have to send it to Provo. I will not be doing any more shopping at Michaels this year. My little personal protest.

The day kept on going down hill. I wanted to post a picture of the page we made last night, but I can't get a good picture of it and no one around here has a 12 x 12 scanner. So the picture I am posting isn't very good.
The cartridge is Summer in Paris and the paper is from AC. As you can see here is a lot of intricate detail on this cartridge. The cartridge is part of the class package.
I really enjoyed the class and am looking forward to the next two.

Using my little Cricut, I made the following cards.

The birdcage and butterfly are from the Bloom cartridge. The frame I made using a Fiskars combo border/corner punch. I fell in love with this boarder and it is being used on a lot of my cards. I also went to JoAnn's and bought another combo punch.



The butterfly and swirl on this red card are from the Pink Journey Campaign Rose cartridge.





I enjoyed making these cards. They aren't fancy, but I like them.
