This I am... Saturday kind of goes along with a
previous I am... Saturday. I guess it could have been included in that earlier post, but this is kind different! Around Christmas it gets really hectic around my house crafty-wise. During the month of November, I've got
NaNoWriMo, and that runs right up until December 1...when I generally like to get my Christmas cards out! So...
I am... a cardmaker.
A few years ago, I got this magical machine. It's called a Cricut. Today, the Cricut is different than the model I own.I own the original without all the bells and whistles. So I figured I should start making cards for people instead of spending the money to buy them. Over time, this has paid for itself. Plus, it's fun! Here's a sample of some of my cards.

I made this card for my friend Sheena's birthday |

This one was for my friend Michelle. Just because |
But the true measure of my cardmaking is Christmas cards! Every year I make our Christmas cards. I am getting better and better, and with the help of awesome Cricut cartridges, I'm getting better images!

Does anyone else out there in my readers have a Cricut? What do you use it for? Do you make cards?
