If you haven't heard of a Cricut cutting machine you don't know what you're missing! I've mentioned about my Cricut a few times in other posts and I thought I'd share some more projects with you (I use it a lot)! I had actually never used one before I got mine. I found mine used for $100 and it was a great buy! I had to buy cutting matts, blades, vinyl, paper, markers, tools and a few cartridges to go with it and that added up fast! Now that I have everything the only costs is replenishing what I run out of.

Some Projects:
I used clear contact paper from the dollar store to cut out a sticky 'stencil'.
The 'stencil' comes off super easy after the fabric paint is dry!
-----------
The machine I have will write for you (with the right markers/pens)! I velcro-ed this sign onto our dishwasher (it doesn't help keep the sink clean BTW).
-----------
I put this on our garage door as you enter - the vinyl holds up really well!
-----------
This basket+strawberries was one of the first projects my kids ever did. My kids love the Cricut and it's a fun/easy way to do crafts with your kids!
-----------
Family chore board. The job cards are papers which are cut and glue together as layers. The lettering is vinyl.
-----------
Cardstock for a sign (can you tell I have white carpet that I'm trying to protect!?).
-----------
I helped a friend make this sign. We used clear contact paper as a stencil that we stuck to the board and used acrylic paint to dap over.
-----------
My kids loved these spiders out of cardstock.
They looks so real and creepy!
-----------
Metallic cardstock for Christmas ornaments.
Fold and glue sections together.
-----------
Cutting chipboard for a nativity!...
...glued 3 layers of it together to get the thickness I desired.
-----------
Made a subdivision sign using outdoor vinyl.
And of course using the good ole minivan as a way to advertise!
