The 12 Days of Christmas, Day 11, A Winter Fun Cricut Card

by

Good afternoon! We're almost through The 12 Days of Christmas 2011 Series, although I never thought that I'd make it this far. Thank you for your patience. Today's card is using the Cricut. I have all of their machines, yes, all of them, except the newly released Cricut Mini, and an arsenal of cartridges, but rarely use it! Shame on me! This is the 2nd time I've ever used this machine and the 2nd card I've ever made using it, so I hope that you like it. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out considering I am a serious, terrible techno-nerd.

I explained on my video exactly how I made this card and gave very thorough directions, all in 21 minutes! I think I set a record for a short video! That's one more thing to add to my list is how to learn how to work some software to fade, edit, and use those wonderful graphics and music that I have,

Now, onto the good stuff. Stills of my project is below, as well as today's prize and the rules for entry. I hope that you've enjoyed this series and I plan to have many more in the future that won't take up so much of your time but provide you with a lot of inspiration, new techniques, and some fun. Thank you so much for stopping by today to visit me and God bless you!
