One day, I'll actually give it to her... If we can ever manage to catch up with each other!
I made this one with my handy Cricut (shocker).
I used the Mini Monograms cartridge to cut the squares, and then the Simply Sweet cartridge to cut out the letters and safety pins.
For this banner, I also figured out how to use the Outline Feature to make my letters pop a little more.
I say this all the time, but I'm pretty sure that everyone in the world needs a Cricut. That and clean water. And shelter. And maybe some food. But that's it.
Oh and just FYI: I've recently discovered that buying the cartridges on Ebay saves sooo much money. Cartridges can be up to $80 at Michael's and Jo Ann Etc - which is definitely a Budget Buster for me. And just totally wrong.
Totally.
Instead, I've been "sticking it to the man" by buying a cartridge a month on Ebay for no more than $25.
Oh yeah. Kiss it, Michael's (But I still love you. Don't be mad at me. I'll see you soon.)

Thanks for the tip. I still just have the George basics and I want a few more.
Love the banner. Gorgeous. I dream of owning a cricut...one of these days! : )
You just make the cutest things!

So, so cute Jennifer! How long does something like this take you to make?
And this is precisely why I love Ebay. You can get your ideas from Michaels and then trot yourself back to your computer and go shopping at Ebay. Love it. :)
That is adorable!
It looks like your house is going to look a lot like my house soon! Congratulations!

Adorable blog!

You need to sell this stuff! I need a cricut so bad! Sounds amazing. Do you think Colleen is going to make it?
Hi Jennifer,
