Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend :) Are you getting ready for Black Friday shopping?? I know I am :) It's time for another fun challenge at My Craft Spot. The theme this week is Thanksgiving/Fall. Play along for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to shop at MCS.
So today, I'm sharing my very first project using my new Cricut Explore!! Woohoo!! It was so much easier to use than I feared and it cut perfectly. I was happy to discover that I retained quite a bit from using my Gypsy, so I could pick up what I needed in Design Space. I still have so much to learn, but for my first project, I'm happy :) I've rediscovered my love for Cricut :) My first project was to cut the Curvy Box file from My Craft Spot. You can find the file HERE, and it's currently on sale!!
The papers for this box are from Basic Grey. The label is a MCS Ornate Labels die. The sentiment is from the Fall Leaves stamp set. It was heat embossed in snow white embossing powder. MCS Vanilla Bean Crinkle Ribbon was used and MCS Ivory Twine was threaded through the button.
The papers for this box are from K&Company. Another MCS Ornate Labels was used for the sentiment from the Fall Leaves stamp set. MCS Vanilla Bean Crinkle Ribbon was used and MCS Ivory Twine was threaded through the button for this one, too.

Your first projects are fabulous and fun! I look forward to seeing more projects using the new crafty goody. I have been considering purchasing a cutting machine but have been unsure which one. It is encouraging knowing that the Cricut is working well for you!
Thanks for sharing your first Cricut project! They are super cute!
WTGo on your first efforts with the new toy. You did a fab job of creating these precious little bags & loved the paper choices. Pretty ribbons too, and what wonderful little treats will fill these pretties for your Thanksgiving guests. Great project & glad you had the older expertise to help with the learning curve on the new machine. TFS & Hugs
Beautiful and I love the sentiment it runs so true!! I love the colors.

So happy for you and your new Explore and look forward to seeing what you do with it. I have been on the fence about it for a while and can't wait to see what you do!
Your treat box is so so fun :)
Nice to see you are mastering your Cricut!!!!
My sweetest friend, your boxes are gorgeous! (I will soon be playing with this file, too! YAY!) I'm delighted you're enjoying your new Cricut! These machines are so easy to master these days, so I knew you'd pick everything up in a breeze. :o) Your papers are gorgeous and simply perfect for the holiday! The floofy bows are gorgeous and I love how you used the sentiments! The Ornate Label dies are so versatile and they fit these so beautifully. The twinkly accents are the loveliest touches of Autumnal sparkle. :o) Wonderful projects as always, my dearest Lisa! Have a happy night!
Hugs and blessings,
Karen

Wish me luck, I'm heading to Joanns at 6am tomorrow. Some of their deals start tomorrow and I know I could save another $10 on Thursday but I just can't bring myself to shop on Thanksgiving :) Have a FABULOUS day and stay warm - we are having a heat wave...so weird! It should be 80 today by the beach.
Hi Lisa, great job on your first project with your new Cricut Explore. Since I haven't taken that plunge ...yet...it's great to know it's fairly easy to use. No way will be shopping this weekend....it's crazy out there.
