—————————–
“Teee hee hehehehee!” That’s what slipped from my mouth as I unsheathed my new Cricut Expression 2: Anniversary Edition from it’s box. Opening a box containing a machine like this is like Christmas on crack for a creative junky like myself. I had merely been home from St. Paul for 5 minutes when I tore into the package. I didn’t even bother to take my luggage upstairs before I started experimenting with the Cricut’s cutting abilities. With no regard for instructions or “how to’s” I bounded up the stairs and grabbed the nearest card stock I could find that was the easiest to get to. Kingston and London immediately started demanding and requesting all the shapes and patterns they desired to be cut on their choice of paper. We made a big mess until it was decided I needed to put my new toy away and take responsibility for my luggage and belonging that I had strewn about the house. As I started to tote my belongings to my closet my mind began plotting excuses and reasons I would NEED to use my new Cricut machine. That’s when I decided it was time for a girls night. What better way to test out the capabilities of my Cricut than with the collective creative genius of my sisters. I sent them an official invitation requesting (ok demanding!) that we have a girls night with junk food and crafting for Halloween. I lured them over with my new Cricut Expression as I knew very well they would be unable to resist such an enticement. The days went by (slowly at that) until alas my sisters came over and it was time for us to retreat to my studio with gobs of candy and junk food and the vast array of creative materials any girl could scarcely dream to behold. With the clock drilling in our ears our fingers worked as quickly and meticulously as we could get them to so that we could allow as much creativity to seep from our hearts and minds as possible. We willed the time to go by slower and our hands to work faster not wanting the creative palooza to end. Each of us dripping inspiration and ideas onto each other simply drove us to make more, glue more, CUT more! Inevitably the hour became very late and our eyes became bloodshot and heavy as the creative energy and coherency in the room began to fog over and drift to a weak lull of scattered paper and a trail of glitter. In the morning we gazed over what we had done the night before. We “oooh’d and aweeed” over what we had created in the wee hours of the night as well as the unavoidable wake of destruction we had left in my studio while we savored our pumpkin bagels and shmere from Einstein Bagels. Twas and eventful night never to be forgotten, twas a test on my machine, twas totally AWESOME and I wanna do it again, like THIS WEEKEND!!! With the assistance of my Cricut, the energy provided by unsaid pounds of candy and carbs, and the imagination of a room full of girls we were able to create the following:
- 4 Halloween wreaths
- 3 Halloween garlands with varying Halloween phrases
- 6 candy jars with Halloween decals
- 4 decals for spooky candles
- too many silhouettes to count for different Halloween garlands I put up in my house
- 5 witch hat headbands
- 12 vintage bottles w/ decals
- 1 ribbon mustache
It was so fantastic to be able to add to the spook factor of our Halloween decor this year with just the click of a button. It seems like every day we would add more decorations to our porch or the living room or somewhere in our house. My kids were into the decorating big time this year. It will be so sad to take it all down…. but then again Christmas is just around the corner. Time for another GIRLS NIGHT!!!!!
Acknowledging that it’s a little rude and unfair to show off all the fun I’ve been having with my Cricut Expression and rubbing it in with pictures of the creative decor I was able to make with it I want to smooth things over by offering a GIVEAWAY! Provo Craft sent me a brand spankin new Cuttlebug Machine to giveaway to one of my awesome readers. Squuueaaal!
