Hello, my neighbor has a Cricut machine and she's been teaching me how to make some things. So far we've made paper flower arrangments. She has a million dollars worth of cartridges lol Just wondering if anyone has any other ideas they would like to share.
Thanks!

I would like to see some pictures of what you are doing. I paint and draw. I am trying to work on a project called "The nest" I am drawing a series of pics of my kids curled up around each other. I am starting a second...nest picture of my MWI's son when he was 3. He's looking up just like a bird in a nest. I hope to have it done for father's day.

Here are some pictures of the flowers we made using card stock paper, we colored them using water based metallic paints and adding glitter.

I do no not know how to draw, what so ever! Lol but your project sounds amazing and Id love to see pics. I went on you tube to get ideas and the cricut projects are endless.

Thanks for responding!

Yes I have the Cricut Expression. I love it i am not getting gift cards to buy the things I want. If your machine ever stops working provo craft will replace it for free. I got my first one from my mom and my step dad for Christmas before he died and it had quit orking and I had to send it back. They sent me the expression. My mom has the ecraft it is ok it makes the flowers that I want to make but I do not like it as much.

I have one and there are stencils you can make with them. You can cut out the design you want and put it on walls and all, but you can also put it on glass. They have an etching powder that works. We did not get to do it, and I don't know how to really use it yet, but hope to. My husband's idea was to do a stencil of either the nativity or the wise men and the star, and put it around a candle holder.
