New Cricut carts and another giveway

There were new Cricut cartridges announced today.  Check out the Obsessed with Scrapbooking blog to see some projects created with the new cartridges.  I love the Wrap It Up and Paper Lace ones the best.  The projects she made a beautiful.  She is also offering a chance to win The Christmas Card mini Cartridge (which I really want) and the Christmas Village mini cartridge....

Christmas cards for Operation Write Home

So, I'm not good about sending cards out to my family and friends...  But, Operation Write Home is such an amazing cause, that I did get in the Christmas spirit early.  Maybe I will keep up the cardmaking after the deadline for OWH and actually send out some of my own this year.  :)

I just realized that I forgot to take pictures of the quilt I made before I gave it to the happy couple.  I will get my friend to take some pictures for me so I can post them....

Here are some pictures of the cards I made. The first ones were made with a chipboard set that came with a cardmaking magazine I just bought.

These were made with different stamps and little help from my new Cricut Imagine.  I used the Winter Wonderland one to make the poinsettia, trees and snowman, with color from the Imagine.  The holly was a brad set with the leaves and berry brad.

Inspiration for this one came from this post: http://acreativeneed.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/a-cuttlebug-christmas/  I thought this was very classy- I may try to find a different stamp...

The rest are with my Imagine and some stamps- but not Christmas themed...  I'm really liking the Imagine and can't wait to have more time to play with it!
