Give Away! You could win 3 free months of the Cricut Circle



I received the most beautiful handmade, Mother's Day flower bouquet today from Provo Craft. Their design team did an amazing job. But the gift wasn't just for me. I get to share it with you too. They gave me handmade flowers with 3 month subscriptions to the Cricut Circle. I would like for this drawing to be for those who own a Cricut Machine or plan on getting one soon and do not currently have a Cricut Circle Membership but would love one. Leave me only one comment on this post for a chance to win. Tell me what your favorite Cricut Cartridge is (if you can pick only one). I love to read your comments. I will pick the winners Sunday evening.

Thank you Provo Craft for this amazing giveaway!

Don't forget this Saturday is National Scrapbooking Day. Join My Pink Stamper and her design team for hourly Challenges, Prizes, & Videos. It all starts at 10am CST at http://www.mypinkstamper.com/.
