Spoilt by my Dear Grant - I have a Cricut!





Tears of joy in our home as I now have a Cricut Expression. I started scrapbooking classes a couple of weeks ago and when Grant picked me up yesterday he saw how wonderful the Cricut machine was that we were using. Today he bought one for me, and tonight we have been embellishing the two page spread I worked on at class yesterday. It is going to open up a whole new world for scrapbooking and card making too!

We have also added some new shelves and racks for my punches and what a difference it has made, I now have so much more space on my bench again.

Grant thinks it will help him loose weight as I won't be spending so much time in the kitchen cooking delights for him... here are the pages I've done over the last week. The photos are from our camping trip earlier this year....in our Jeep which we are still finishing ready for the summer holiday in the south island next March. How I am going to fit in working on the Jeep now that I have a Cricut is something he didn't think of..!!

Lucky you Rel and what a thoughtful hubby. I love the double page spread you've made. Those sunsets are beautiful, a great base for scrapping.

BTW thanks for stopping by my blog. To answer your question, I'm based in the UK. Shame that we're not a little closer but then crafting brings us all closer together I think, at least in spirit if not geographically, lol.
