I know, I know...bad blogger. Let's just say this week has been...ahem...crazy. Struggling just a bit earlier this week to meet some deadlines, a Cricut class, and now for some reason spring cleaning fever has struck. You know what I mean...that time of year when you feel like you want to back a dump truck up to the front door and just start shoveling. I blame being cooped up all winter and just itching for the weather to be nice and break free of these walls. :-) I've gone through the girls' closets, now on tho Jonathan's, mine, the toy cubes and then my craft room. yikes. We have a garage sale next week and it's always the best feeling in the world to clear out some things. :-)
Just a few little tidbits today...just so you don't think I totally fell off the earth. We did a little shopping over the weekend. Katie was in dire need of some spring things, as was I...and I got the girls' Easter dresses. This is what I picked this year, along with little frilly white sweaters to go over the top ('cuz it's still craaaazy cold here!!). I love 'em...so sweet and girly and springy, don'tcha think?
And, just a few cardstock and Cricut projects. Quite often our Cricut assignments call for at least a few projects that use only cardstock, the Cricut and maybe a few other basics. First is a Mother's day gift bag... the bag is on Plantin Schoolbook and that pretty frame is actually from Joys of the Season, using the Card Feature. I thought it was such a pretty cut and definitely not just for Christmas!
And just a simply springy card using Home Accents for the clouds and butterflies and Stretch Your Imagination for the sentiment.
All right, off to clean something. I'll be back.....eventually. :-)
The girls will be so cute in those beautiful dresses on Easter Sunday. Relly like the cards too. One of these days I will give in and buy the big Cricut and give away my baby. Again thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing these great projects - my brand new Cricut Expression was just delivered by the nice FedEx man! I can't wait to set it up and start cutting! I'm expecially happy about being able to cut larger bags/boxes/cards. Now I have to decide what to do with my original Cricut as it still works like a charm. Hmmm...keep it as a back up or sell it to someone who hasn't known the joy of owning a Cricut?

Beautiful creations! Love the little gift bag and the card is darling! And what an adorable Easter dress! I must confess, I'm 29 but still have to have a special dress for Easter! Hubby thinks I need to grow up (nah!).

I love the creations and the dress. Soooo cute. Girls look so cute on Easter. You are going to make me cave in and upgrade to the expression I just feel it.
