Beverly, please email me at moniquegriffith@yahoo.com with your mailing address.
And since I didn't post earlier today, I'm going to go ahead and share a little project that Emily and I worked on this afternoon. She was assigned a state report, and chose the state of Texas. My friend Phyllis loaned us the 50 States cart, and we used a few others as well. So here's some pics of how it turned out. I did most of the Cricut cutting since we were in a bit of a hurry, but Em helped make the decisions, assemble things, and did all of the writing after we read about each state symbol.
 | |
| State shape, bird, flag and state name are all from 50 States. |
 | |
| The strip with the images slides through like a movie strip. You can click on pics to see what Em wrote. |
 | |
| Bluebonnet flowers are from 50 States. |
 | |
| We put the state fish on here, and got the cut from Everyday Paper Dolls. Em helped decorate the fishy. |
 | |
| Star and square are from George. I used Centerpoint, and cut the star at 2", then immediately cut a square around it at 2 1/4" still using Centerpoint. |
 | |
| State, star and "Austin" are from 50 States. I like what she wrote, hehe. |
 | |
| Cowboy boot is from Old West. She was pretty proud of her report. Not bad for procrastinating, huh? |

Loved your report Emily...I now know a bit more about Texas (i'm from Canada) and the images are just perfect ;)
Yaaay, Emily! That is "A" work, for SURE! I know you had fun, Mama, working on that with her. Excellent job!
Great project! I love using my Cricut to help with school stuff!

I adore it when the "younger" generation gets involved with the Cricut. And they are "show-offs" with their quick learning curve. Great school project...
Wow Emily did a great job with this project. I love all the detail she wrote about the various pictures, I can see she has put in a lot of time and research. What a great way to make education fun.

Looks like you all had a ball.
Congrats to the winner. I wish they would have had Cricuts when my kids were in school. It would have made things soooo much easier. But my daughter is a teacher and we make lots of fun things for her class room with the Cricut now.

Emily, Great job on your report. It has lots of great details about Texas. I love the cuts from the 50 state cartridge too.
I now know for sure your daughter has GREAT taste.

Emily, you've done a great job on your report! What a lucky girl you are to have been born into such a talented family! I'm sure your teacher and your classmates will be very impressed w your project. I love how you made the slider for your pics. I'm gonna have to figure out how to do that. Thanks for sharing your talent w the rest of us! :)

Such a cute report! It's great that you can use the cricut for school too! I can't wait till my kids are older and I can help them with some projects!
My son is only two, but I already use the Cricut for his teachers' cards for almost every holiday. I can't wait till I can use it for his school projects like this. This gives me more justification for my hubby as to why we need to have so many cartridges. ;-) Thank you! And I love that it's my home state...yay Texas!
Great report!! No kids here...well at least none with 2 legs...just the 4 legged kind! BUT...my nieces and nephews always know they can call on Aunt Mary!!
Awesome job Emily
Great project. I wish I would've had a cricut when I was in school!
As a teacher myself, I love how y'all used the cricut cuts for her school project. YOu just can't beat having an involved parent!!! Priceless!
