How about a little something fun today? Yesterday I got my brand new Cricut Circle cartridge, which is called "Cricut Everyday", so today I just had to take a few hours to play with it. Personally, I LOVE this cart!!! Not only does it have the bug head on it, but all of the different logos, the different machines, and TONS of really cute scrapbook sayings. (Not to mention some 3D cuts and various favor type objects you could use to decorate for a crop.) It was hard to choose a favorite! I just made a quick little layout that I can use to scrap pics of our recent Swarm. I have the Pink Expression, so of course I had to make a matchy-matchy one for the layout. Hope you like it!!! (Don't forget - leave a comment on this post for a chance to win this week's blog candy - the "In Bloom" or "Spring into Action" kit.)
The papers I used are from My Mind's Eye, Bo Bunny and Stampin' Up. Ribbon is Stampin' Up.
The Cuttlebug was cut at 3" with all of the layers. I inked the edges, added some white pen accents and pop-dotted it.
I cut the Expression machine at 3 1/2", and again inked the edges and added some white accents. BTW, it tries to cut out the little buttons for the machine, but they are super duper tiny, and there was no way I was going to mess with them, so I drew them in with a pink pen.
This bug head was cut at 4", but its actual size turned out smaller than that. How cute is he? She???
And I cut this larger bug head at 6 1/2" using Flip. The "Gone Buggy" title was cut at 5", and layered with its shadow.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your Friday!!

So cute, as always! Can't wait to get my cart! Mailman, where are you?!
Thanks for sharing! Star
OH MY! Is that just too cute or what?!?! Love it, you sure can do some great things with that cart!
So cute. It would be so neat to go to a swarm but I know there will never be one in my area. This is one reason I have not joined the Circle.
Very cute layout!!
What a fun lo and this cart is awesome. Love the cuts
I love your layout. It's a fun cartridge. I'm not at the circle, so I would love to use some cuts from that cartridge.

Thanks for sharing your creativity... And this cartrige is really fun...
I bookmarked your blog: you've got great ideas!?!?

A few months ago I would not have even thought of buying this cartridge but now with months of "practicing" on how to use my Expression, I can't wait to get that cartridge and tell my "battle" with the Expression on a double layout. Thanks Monique for your creativity and sharing your talent with us.
Monique,
Simply adorable!!! So creative. Love the layout.

Very cute. I love what you did with this cart.
Very Cute. Almost makes me want to become a cricut circle member. TFS
Love the pink expression! Great layout!
Monique I LOVE IT!!!! again and again .... and again you keep creating beautiful pages.
This so adorable! I can think of a dozen pages to make with it.
I think the bug is a him. If it was a girl, she'd have a little bow or something. This is a cute layout & I like your pink expression. I couldn't even imagine trying to cut those little tiny keys! It looks good with the drawn ones. And I bet your bug head seems small because the antenna count in the 4" measurement.
Why aren't I as talented as you? Thanks for the inspiration and chance to win :) Lucy iluvlu2003@yahoo.com
Adorable!!!
Wow, this is a great cartridge. Lucky you. The lay-out is one that all of us "creative crafters" could use. Great job Monique!

That is just too darn cute. What a great cartridge. Happy to see you gals in the circle get a really nice cartridge for once.

I haven't gotten my cartridge yet. I looked at the images on the Cricut website and the Cricut Everyday there is different than the one you are showing. The one you have is definitely better. I hope I get the same one as you! Great LO. :)
Blessings!

I think Cricut did a great job designing their cricut critter....lol it's just too darn cute...simple and CUTE! thanks for sharing! sonyagilley@yahoo.com
That is so adorable! I love love love the design.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow! I love it! Is there a way that I could buy this exact layout from you? Unfortunately, I don't have a Pink Expression, just the regular one...but I also have a cuttle bug and this page would be perfect for my swarm pictures! Let me know!

Very cute Monique! This is the only cartridge that I've seen from the special cart's that I'd really love to have! But the 'club' is too expensive for me. Thanks for showing how cute it is!
Really love this cart and layout. Too bad it is exclusive. I can't afford to join the cricut circle. All I can do is hope that someday it will be released to everyone.
one awesome cart, Monique!
Love your LO! cute cute pink expression.
Oh, Monique! I love, love, love this layout!!! :)
You're making me really want to become a Circle Member!
Thanks for sharing,

This is awesome. Question, if I become a Cricut Circle member, can I still get that cart?
