Cricut Crafts & Contest

I was sent a Cricut Expressions machineto try out! So
many possibilities, so littletime! One of the first things
I did was make scallop trim for my plain white shelves...



then I used the new Winter Wonderland cartridge to make this
little house and 3d trees! There are several different houseand
building designs so my single home willsoon be part of a village.

There are several contests going on so you can have a chance
to win a Cricut, thefour newest cartridges, Provo Craft's latest 
design device, the Gypsy, and more! See all the
details at The Crafty Crow.

Green Craft Magazine

Have you seen this magazine yet? If you haven't then start
looking for it now! I think this is one of the mostbeautiful craft
magazine issues I've seen in a long time, right up there with
Japanese craft books and Marie Claire Idees.



All of the projects are beautifully conceived and photographed
and of course each one uses materials that are typically
thrown away, thus, Green Craft.



You'll find Maya*Made's newspaper buntings along with
Pam Garrison's coffee filter garlands, and Charlotte Lyons'
cardboard tube creations plus much more.

And just so you know, I'm not being paid or pampered to
promote the magazine, just overwhelmed with the goodness 
and wanted to share.
