I love my new Cricut!

I have a friend who has Lyme Disease and was in need of money to see a specialist.  When I heard this I did what I could to collect some money for her.  I wanted to have a nice card to give it to her in so I made this card for her.
I couldn't wait to use my new Cricut to make the card.  I love the images on the Child's First Year Cartridge. I thought this little girl with her wheel barrel of flowers was a great start.  The sentiment (it's hard to read under the ribbon) says Bushels of Blessings.  My DH didn't get it, but I thought it worked.  Since the card will contain exactly that I thought it was just right.  Inside I put a bird I cut from the same cartridge and made a flower out of Plantin Schoolbook.  The message inside says "To help you spread your wings and fly"
Overall I was very happy with this card especially since it was my first one using my Cricut. 

While I was at it I did some door art with my Cricut and adhesive vinyl.   My son's room is done in Mickey Mouse so I had to get the Mickey Font and Mickey and Friends cartridges.  I haven't used the Mickey and Friends yet, but I cut this out of the Mickey Font.
This was so quick and easy I thought I would do one more.
This one was done with a Childs First Year.  Now I am waiting on more vinyl so I can do even more decorating.  I LOVE MY NEW CRICUT!!
