I got a Cricut Expression paper cutter for Christmas. I'm so excited about all the crafty projects I'll get to make with it. I've already started planning Dallin's birthday party and the awesome invitations and decorations he's going to have.
His birthday is still 2 months away, so I had to make something now to try it out. I made a birthday card for my friend.
I think it's pretty cute. Every shape on there, big and small, was cut with the cricut. I just had to glue them together and stick them on a card. Now to start thinking about what I'll make for Valentine's Day..
Remember Mckay's jean's that I mended for his birthday? I've since patched up several of his jeans in a similar fashion, and I love how easy this method is and how well it saves a good pair of jeans. Well, recently we were at American Eagle, where they are known for having torn/distressed jeans. I saw a pair on display that was a torn up hole with a patch under it and stitching over it. Basically, it looks exactly like the repairs I had done to Mckay's jeans!
So not only am I being frugal, I'm also keeping up with the hottest fashion trends. If anyone wants me to make their old jeans look cooler, let me know. :)

I'm excited to see all the fun things you make with your cricut. We got some pants of Ryan's mended at Nordstrom and they looked similar to what you did. Since then I do all of his on my own. No point in paying money when I can do just as good a job or better. Why do guys rip their pants so much?
