So, you might be asking yourself why a coming out party for Cricut? It’s time for true confessions!

I have a confession to make. I have been in the Cricut closet for the last 5 years. I will never forget the day I bought my Cricut from QVC the first day it was available. Yes, I was one of those crazy ladies in her pajamas waiting for the Special of the Day to be announced at midnight!  Shortly after I was the proud owner of “George”, and “Doodletype” too.  Let me say I NEVER would of sold it on EBAY although it was going for a pretty penny. It was a well sought after exclusive cartridge!

I was so amazed by the possibilities.  I was hooked. I used it for my classes with my former scrapbooking company. 

This was one of the first projects I posted on the Cricut board.

We even got professionally trained by Provo Craft back in 2006.  I loved giving seasonal die cuts to my hostesses and it was simple and fun to do.

I was such a Cricut evangelist. My customers and friends know this. I can guarantee that 90% of them own a Cricut and a Gypsy now because of me and my enabling!

I was

I clearly remember being on the phone with my friend, Brenda one day. I was washing dishes and I could hear the Cricut sound in the background on her end.   I was immediately alarmed.  She was playing with Cricut and I was doing chores. There was definitely something wrong with this picture.  I was actually envious. That’s when I knew I had a problem. (hee hee!)

Yet, when I joined CTMH in 2007 I felt like I was “cheating.” I still used my Cricut of course for class supplies. I adored Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.  That is what really lived in my Cricut.  I always thought that if I could teach Cricut clases, I’d be in heaven.  This was one of my favorite Cricut projects I made when I joined CTMH.

But as time went on my business was taking off and I didn’t have as much time to play. I did buy the Expression and of course the day the Gypsy came out on HSN it was mine!  I have been loving the vinyl projetcs I’ve created from my car decal to the sign I made to hang outside my house. But I never really shared them except with my “locals” who were aware of my obsession.
THEN it was the BIG DADDY of them all! CTMH announced a new Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. It was released at our Convention. Remember when I almost fell off my chair?
Now you know why! I could profess my undying love for my Cricut with reckless abandon!  I’ll even let you in on a little secret.  I have been Beta testing the yet to be released Cricut Craft Room which you will have access to for FREE coming later this fall!
If you love Cricut like I do and NEED to order this cartridge, contact me!
After all, who could live without……700 images that include:
6 different spiral cut shapes for you to roll into the 3-d flowers.
17 different borders
100 card bases (in shapes such as circles, bracketed squares and rectangles and many of them have little peek-a-boo windows cut in them with different shapes)
50 tags,
50 labels and so much more! PLUS, several of our stamp sets coordinate with the shapes!!

So, now that you heard my story, what was your first moment with Cricut? How did you first hear about it? Do you remember that magical feeling of your first cut?

I would love to hear about your first experience with Cricut! 

Until then, be blessed!
