Looking Forward

Another year has come and gone and a new one is beginning. A new decade is dawning as well. New Year's resolutions are in the forefront of many minds right now. One of my resolutions is to be more creative and further refine my personal talents. This really is not a hard resolution due to the fact that I am continually viewing the most wonderful and refined crafts and ideas.

I'd like to send a big thank you to all of you wonderful crafters who have embraced Cricut and its products and made them your own. You have not only shared your wonderful and creative ideas with us but a lot of your hearts as well. Thank you! Here's to another wonderful and innovative year of creativity and crafting. I say, "The sky?s the limit!" Happy New Year to all Cricuteers out there from all of us here at Cricut!


Happy Crafting :-)

PROJECT CORNER AND SPOTLIGHT


More Winners
Name:
Monique Griffith
About:
I have been married for 10 years and my husband and I have a very spunky 4 1/2 year old daughter. We live in Northern California, where I work part-time from home teaching Cricut classes in my living room. What could be more fun than that? I enjoy designing with my Cricut, photography, and of course playing with my sweet daughter as well as our 2 crazy boxer dogs.

Monique's Project: Wild About You
Picture:

Cartridges Used:

Animal Kingdom, Mickey Font
Instructions:
I cut multiple chipboard pages and covered them with patterned paper. The pages are all 6" wide, and range from 3" tall to 12" tall. These are bound on the left side with 6 binder rings. I cut 5 animals from Animal Kingdom out of chipboard (using the Blackout feature) and then covered them as well. The Lion was cut at 4", Zebra is 6", Tiger is 6", Parrot is 10", and Giraffe is 11 1/2". I added inner pages so it will hold plenty of photos, and cut extra animals out for those inner pages. The very back page has the word "Wild" at the top, which I cut with the Mickey Font cartridge, and when you open the book all the way, you'll actually see then entire phrase "Wild About You!" with a photo mat, and I just had to add a little monkey - to go with a picture of my own little monkey!
