Today is the day I find out if Close To My Heart is releasing a new Cricut cartridge. If they do, it would go on sale August 1st. I am going to have a really great special, IF a new cartridge is released, not to mention special benefits for those of you who have bought from me before. Fingers crossed we get good news today! I will keep you all posted!
I have a really simple, but pretty gift bag that I made using the Paper Lace cartridge. I am obsessed with this Moroccan patterned, so I searched high and low for it with in my cricut library. I pretty much did a little jig when I came across these cuts. I am fairly certain you will see this cut again in some capacity. Don't you think it would make a great stencil?
