Virtual Refrigerator-- Cards Made with the Cricut Maker

Thanks for stopping by and joining us again this week as we host another virtual refrigerator arts and crafts link up. 


I got a Cricut Maker for Christmas and have been playing around with it trying to learn the controls.

The very first project I tried came with the machine and walked me through the process step by step.  It's cute isn't it?


I then watched a video or two, read a few blogs and began playing around.  Here is one of the cards I made completely on my own!


I also shared some of the Valentine's day cards I made using the maker in this post.

Now without further ado I invite you to grab a "magnet" and link up your arts and crafts or how- to posts below and visit some other bloggers to see what they shared on their refrigerators.

    Those are so pretty!! Cricuts are so neat - I'd really like to play with one, but then I might be tempted to buy my own! ;-)

      Thank you! They are pretty neat; I'm just scratching the surface on what it can do.

      They're personal cutting machines and they cut paper, vinyl, thin balsa wood, leather, etc. It's quite a crafter's tool.

      I was so surprised when I opened mine! Of course I feel like I've since spent a small fortune buying all the vinyl and assorted stuff to go with it but hopefully once I really figure it out it will save me money on gifts and things in the long run.

    So cute! My mom has a Cricut that she never uses. Maybe, I'll have to borrow it and play with it.

    How pretty...I love the way they came out! The more I see these types of projects, the more I want to pick up a Cricut for myself! :)

      Thank you! That is sort of what happened to me... the more I kept seeing crafts done with the Cricut the more I kept thinking that I really wanted to get one.

Prime Purchases I Made in March

Image
 Happy April Fool's day to you! It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Tanya.  I was doing so well with my Amazon purchases right up until the end of the month when we decided to host Easter dinner at our house and I felt like I "needed" so much not having any Easter decorations at all.  I bought a few new cardigans for this "in between" season and really love this cable knit one so much it's all I can do to keep myself from buying a second one! I also like this gray one.. . but I find myself wishing I had bought it a different color since it's not very "spring" feeling.  Evan needed some new hiking shoes and we really wanted something waterproof this year but our local shoe stores didn't have anything that worked so we turned to Amazon and he found this pair that he really likes.  I've been working on lots of scrapbook pages and I needed to buy some more of these adhesive refills and Cricut cutting

Alec's Accepted Student Day at JWU

Image
Last spring when Alec started his college planning I was pretty surprised that he only wanted to visit 2 colleges out of state (he visited a few in-state with his high school culinary class).  He ultimately decided to apply to just the 2 colleges we visited-- Johnson and Wales University (JWU) and the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Both ranked as the #1 & #2 schools in the U.S for culinary and baking/pastry arts. Funny enough out of his 2 culinary teachers he's had in high school one attended each of those schools!  Photo of harborside campus from last spring JWU Future wildcat photo also from last spring Visiting the CIA over the summer We were lucky that both schools are easily visited in a day and we had a great time touring them both. Alec made sure to ask lots and lots of questions. The two schools were so comparable to one another that we had quite the pro/con list going.  He LOVED the CIA's campus and that it was along a river and rather rural and quiet... but

Day in the Life: Friday Favorites

Image
 I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun.  These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself).  I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.
