New Creation!

 
I am so excited to have learned how to do something new on my Cricut Machine!  I did my first window with a scripture on it.  I had no idea when starting how long it would take and it did take a while since it was my first one.  I had to figure out the best way to get it centered and the lines straight.  It took me 4 hours to complete it because it was a trial and error kind of thing.  That is not always the fun part of being creative but it is part of it with some things.  I am one of those people that I get it in my head and just go for it and hope for the best.  Most of the time that works really good for me. From that point it just gets better as I grow in the creativity.  In doing this picture you have to measure, and measure, and measure more.  It will be the same way with any of them I do because with the Cricut I can only go up to 24 inches for a line. I was very fortunate that this one worked out perfectly with the 24 inches and the size of letters I needed.  I also learned a lot about my machine. I am praying for this to be more than just a moment in time.  I have always loved crafting but never took it seriously until now.  Especially with doing jewelry.  I'm also hoping in time that it will make me enough money to be able to do it full-time.  That would be such a blessing.  I absolutly love doing things that are personalized for each individual.  I have found that people really like that too - it makes them feel special.
