Cricut: The Official Blog
Saturday, July 10, 2010
Hi everyone!! Yes, it's really me this time, and I'm back blogging with an actual layout! If you are stopping over from Everyday Cricut, welcome!! Or if you haven't checked out my post over there, today is my day as Guest Designer, so be sure to go to Everyday Cricut HERE for all the info on how to make this layout. OR you can read below for all the info on how to make it lots easier on yourself and just order the kit. If you have questions or would like to order, my email address is moniquegriffith@yahoo.com.



If you have never ordered a kit from me before, here's what's included. You'll get all of the patterned papers (aren't they ADORABLE?), solid cardstock, ribbon, rhinestones and even the googly eyes you'll need to complete the layout. And all of your many layers of photo mats and journal box will be pre-cut for you. Plus you will receive my detailed yet easy to follow directions that include my Cricut Cut Chart, which shows you line by line exactly what you'll need to cut on your machine with all of the sizes and settings for each cut. And the cuts are grouped by color to make it more efficient for you. There are also well-organized written instructions and plenty of color photographs to go with the directions.



To complete this layout kit as shown, you'll need the following supplies: Cricut Expression and mat, Life's a Beach Cartridge, dark brown chalk ink, 3D pop-dots, white gel pen, brown pen, Gold and Diamond Stickles, and basic tools such as scissors, adhesive, etc.



Kits are going to be available around the end of July or the first week of August. The full kit is $25, and shipping is available as well. Shipping is $5 in California, and then ranges from $6 to $9 for the rest of the US depending on location. I ship by Priority Mail, so I can even combine several kits into one shipping box for $10. See the slide show at the top of my blog for other available kits. Directions for this and over 30 other projects are also available for $10/project. Click HERE to see what directions are available.



To order this kit or any others, just email me at moniquegriffith@yahoo.com and be sure to include your zip code so I can calculate shipping. Also let me know if you prefer to pay via PayPal or check, and then I can send you a PayPal invoice if that's your preference. It may take me a day or two to get back to you, but I will definitely stay on top of it, along with help from my best friend and assistant, Wendy.



Thanks so much for stopping by today. I am hoping to keep doing at least 1 kit/month. For those of you who are not aware, I am producing at a bit slower pace due to my recent diagnosis of Stage 3 Breast Cancer. I am currently in chemotherapy, and will be undergoing various treatments for the next several months. I write about my journey every day on my Caring Bridge site HERE and you're welcome to follow along if you'd like. It's been quite the adventure so far! And to the zillions of you who have been following me and supporting me with messages and cards, thank you from the bottom of my heart! You have NO idea how much it has meant to me to feel so loved and prayed for, and I honestly could not be more thankful for our incredible community of such loving friends!!



One final note. I am going to be walking in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in San Francisco on September 26th. My friend Stephanie set up "Team Monique" and we have almost 20 people walking with us on our team to raise money for breast cancer. People who walked in the past raised money to benefit ME directly, and as a result my treatments are so much more tolerable and effective than they were just a few years ago. I want to be able to pay it forward and help someone else now. Heaven forbid, but it could be any one of us, or our moms, sisters, friends that will need that extra research and support. So if you're able, I urge you to donate to our team HERE. You can click on my name on the team list, or my daughter Emily, or just donate to the overall team. We really want to make a difference!!
