Time to purchase a Cricut?

Last Sunday was our October card workshop... It was long overdue, as we weren't able to meet for our regularly scheduled September date.  The theme was baby and wedding cards.  I did the wedding ones, and Bliss completed the baby cards using the Cricut... Her cards are super cute, so I wanted to share them below.  What's great about using the Cricut is that you can control the color palette.

Here's the girls' set... Isn't the onesie adorable?

And this is the boys' set!

So my current dilemma is whether or not to purchase the Cricut 2.  As Bliss begins to make more and more cards using the CM cartridges, I'm getting very tempted! 

Can you believe it's already late October?  I feel the craft fair season coming up quickly.  I've been working on a few new products which I hope to have ready soon.  Hope you'll consider shopping at SimpleStationery for Christmas!

Finishing Up Projects

Whoa!  It's been another long break from bloggin'.  August and September were busy months at KCS, but I managed to finish two main projects.  Jodi's Bridal Shower album was completed thanks to the quick and easy 8x8 I Thee Wed Kit.  Sorry, no pictures because they were accidently erased from my camera.  Bummer!

Nikki's Graduation Album was my next big project, as I compiled nearly 50 or so messages (thank you Storybox journal boxes!) with pictures from her grad party.  This would celebrate her high school graduation and send her off to college with well wishes from all her friends and family... my favorite type of album to put together!  I kept it simple by using the primary colors of the Cheerful Power Palette.

Here's the setup at Nikki's grad party.

Gotta always have directions!

Sometimes the hardest part about these projects is getting people to participate. 
Kids are usually up for the challenge tho'.

Once I got all the pictures from Nikki's family, it was a bit of a puzzle to pull together colors and match picture to message into a cohesive layout.

But the end product is always rewarding.  Congratulations, Nikki!
