Exciting Week!!! Plus Blog Candy Winner...

Alrighty, it's Sunday, and as promised, we have a very exciting week!!! I finally get to tell you what's up. Soooooo, here's the scoop. As you probably know, Joy and Melanie from Everyday Cricut are on the Cricut Cruise this week teaching classes and having a fabulous time. And while they are away, Wendy and I will be taking over Everyday Cricut for the week!!! Oh yeah!!! (I'm not too sure we're going to want to give it back when they come home.) Here's a glimpse of what we have in store for you this week starting on Monday...

1. A brand new project each day with sizing info and tips on how to make it yourself. Plus at least 1-2 corresponding videos as well.
2. We're also releasing a different brand new KIT each day.
3. AND we're doing our Week of Giveaways on this blog. I was going to do it when we hit 2000 followers, but look how close we are - so let's do it! That means a different giveaway EACH day, and it'll start with a cartridge on Monday!
4. Plus of course there is blog candy on Everyday Cricut too.

Who's ready to PARTY with us???

And we've got a winner for this week's blog candy.  This winner will get to choose a theme, and I will make a custom layout just for her.  Don't worry - I'll be sure to share it on the blog too so everyone else can check it out and wish they had won, hehe.  The winner is...

Kathleen said...Well, "Wow" is all I can think of to say about this. Love the look of the metal and the 3D look of it.
TFS, Monique and Amaco is so very lucky to have you as a designer.
Kathleen in NJ

Congrats, Kathleen!  I'm looking forward to working on a layout just for you!!
