  9. This is the first cartridge I bought and I spent most of today with a friend who has had a Cricut for a few years but never uses it. She loved these designs and got hers out too and played with it. I'm pretty sure we've convinced another friend to get it too! (I don't have a blog).

    Never noticed it before, but love your giggle on the video.
    Thanks for sharing more great inspiration.
