And...drumroll....I did get to use my Cricut! For the very first time! As promised ;) I used the Straight From The Nest cartridge and made the leaves on the LO. Aren't they cute? And sooo much cheaper than buying pre-made ones. I didn't really know what I was doing, so I don't think I set the blade to cut deep enough. Which actually turned out even better - I really like how the blade didn't cut all the way through the middle leaf veins part - it would have been something that was supposed to pop out and leave a hole, but I like that it kind of scratched the surface instead to give it more interest. Who's proud of me for using my Cricut for the first time?! :)

Supplies:
Paper: Straight From The Nest
Cardstock: Must Have Cardstock - Jewels (for the leaves)
Cricut Cartridge: Straight From The Nest
Stickers: Super Sticker Nestables and Flocked Sticker Nestables
Frame: Corners, Tabs and Frames (Comes with the Super Sticker Nestables)
Borders: Papertrails (white lace borders and the yellow butterflies are a border cut apart)
Flowers: Perfectly Pretty Petals
Rub Ons: ABC Rub Ons
This is an absolutely GORGEOUS layout. I too just got a Cricut and can't wait to play!
