My New Favorite Toy

Jason bought me a Cricut Expression! I am having so much fun with it! I find every excuse for cutting!

When we got it I also purchased a couple rolls of vinyl. I had these wild imaginations of all that I could do with it! Presents, wall quotes, coasters, decorative tiles, etc. But when I got right down to it the thought of cutting vinyl was terrifying to me. Paper? No problem! Vinyl? YIKES!

Finally, after a LOT of internet research and many YouTube how-to videos, I took the dive. Turns out, it's SO EASY!

Here's my first project:
Isn't it cute? (I can't take credit for the idea. I found it here - I love craft blogs!) My boss' son is getting married this weekend, so I made it as a wedding gift. I love the way it turned out. I had so many anxieties over it! But it really was so easy!
