*Pardon the mess on the dining room table. This is what it looks like when you are working on multiple projects while trying to eat dinner.

Look at all the cards you can make with just one sheet of paper!

Three sheets of paper and ta da!!

My sister-in-law convinced me that I was a bad mom for not having a scrapbook of my kids, so of course out of guilt I started scrapbooking. Suffice to say scrapbooking is just not my bag of tea. I just could not get into it. It was literally painful. So now I have a half finished scrapbook that is going to collect dust on my shelf and a whole book of scrapbooking paper. My mother in law has the Cricut and I borrowed it, with just three sheets of paper I made 20 different cards, envelopes and tags!!! I mean think about. Just in May alone I bought:
1 - Bridal Shower card
2 - Mother's day cards
1 - Red Egg card
1 - Sympathy card
1 - Birthday card
1 - Baby Shower card

at about $2.99 a pop that is about $21/month!! That comes out to over $250 a year??? Is my math wrong?? Or our cards way too expensive?? Or do I have too many things going on?? Well one thing is for sure, I just reduced my card cost by using this amazing gadget called Cricut. Is this blog entry sounding like an infomercial???
