Cricut train arrived again

We have some Imagine cuts in the envelope for the first time!



I didn't intentionally plan on a Canadian theme to my cuts but that's what I ended up with. I was just playing with Destinations and Winter Frolic.. All the members of this swap live in Canada, so I thought why not?

Cricut train - How it works

Our Cricut cut train works like this:

We all sent a few die cuts to the organizer Carina. We agreed to not embellish too much with heavy bling such as eyelets and brads because that could quickly bump up the postage. She assembled all the cuts into 2 envelopes. One envelope travelling west to east across Canada and one travelling east to west. We decided to keep this one in Canada to avoid all customs issues.

When you get the package you can choose as many cuts as you want but you have to replace them with something you have made. I like this idea because you get the choice based on your taste and needs.

Cons : You are at the mercy of others participation and we have already experienced one "derailment".

Pros : It's wonderful to get an envelope chock full of cuts!

Cricut Train Engine #2

The Cricut cut train has come to my house. I have chosen some beautiful cuts and am off to the post office with some added in exchange. Here are my add ins. The penguins scarves are something called Sticky Stitches. The penguin background is sanded Core'dinations.

I hid the tongue on the gingerbread man. It looked like he was eating himself to me. I wanted to cut him just because he is from the new Gypsy download of Smiley Cards.



Here is the original train. This one is thinner than the last but I still found some lovely cuts! Thank you Carina and Sharla.

Look what I got in the mail! It's an envelope full of Cricut cuts. I chose three and replaced those and then mailed the envelope to the next name on the list. This is my first swap. I should be getting the next envelope of cuts in a few weeks.
