Xyron Sticker Maker tutorial and tips!

I put together a quick tutorial on the Xyron 5" sticker maker for a really sweet scrappin momma. Sorry it took so long to get it posted but Youtube decided to give me an error after an hour and twenty minutes so I had to start all over! I hope this helps and watch for the tip on how to get those little "Boogers" off your die cuts BEFORE removing them from the backing!

Tween Time Crafts: Episode 1

Join Garrett as he shows you how to make Valentine's Day Treat Bags for your classmates! No more boring little cards!


MAJOR Brownie points for the DH!

       So the DH took me to Michael's on Friday....... Now normally he's right on my heels, patiently watching as I carefully select the best deals, probably tallying up the total cost as I drop each carefully chosen item into my basket. I always cruise through the clearance section that is nestled in the very back corner of the store. Since I purchased my cricut in November we have been making these usually weekly trips to Michael's. There is always something on sale that I just have to have!
       Anywho.... since November, back in the clearance section, there has been this craft cart that I've just been dying for. The box was ripped and looked a bit beat up but that didn't bother me. The cart was marked down to $49.99 which being in nursing school and only having the DH's income, I just could bring myself to bat my eyes for.
       As I proceeded to find the 14 sponge's on a stick (As I like to call them) for a dollar, I realized that my DH was no longer behind me. Feeling that was odd but barely giving it a second thought, I carried on to the ribbon section to find some pretty spools on sale for a dollar each! It wasn't until I had returned to the scrapbooking section to find a regular priced item to use my coupon with that my DH found me.
       He asked me "You about ready?" to which I replied "Yep just looking for my one regular priced item". Then he proceeds to say "OK, I'm just waiting for them to bring your thing up to the front", to which I of course replied "What thing?". When the DH said "Your cart" I managed to choke out something to the effect of... "Oh you don't have to do that, it's still 50 dollars and I know we can't afford the extra expense right now". To which HE replied "HA! I'm not paying 50 bucks!".
       Puzzled, I questioned him and he told me how he talked to a sales lady, reminding her of how long the cart had been sitting in the clearance section, taking up space and gathering dust. He proceeded to offer her 20 bucks for the cart to which she replied that she would have to ask her manager. Well.... she did ask her manager and his reply was "Give it to him"!!!!!!!!!! 
       Now who would have thought to haggle with a manager of Michael's?! So I present to you, my hundred dollar cart that my DH purchased for TWENTY BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!! It is now my Cricut Station!

I promised you a happy dance.........

A while back we won two different carts from two different places. One was from Christmas with the Cricut in which we won Home Decor. The other cart, STAMPED, was from Provocraft. Both carts should arrive sometime this week but my sneaky 12 year old son decided he'd do the happy dance without me so I just HAD to post it! Enjoy!
