Black Friday…
Nov 23rd, 2007 by Jen
Tony actually did it…he got up at the crack of dawn and went shopping. Wal-Mart is only about 2 miles from our house and they had some wonderful advertised deals. We each got a little something as an early Christmas present. He got the Madden game for Play Station. Ellie got some Mega Blocks {and slippers and jammies}. Now for the drumroll…I got a CRICUT!!! I had NO intention of purchasing this when it was priced at $300. Slowly the price has come down a little, but not enough for me to purchase it. Today is was on super sale and Tony got the last one. Apparently there was someone there looking at it {from a few feet back}. Tony came right up and grabbed it. Nice, eh? He came home saying that all is fair in love and war on Black Friday. I guess if you don’t have it in your hands, it’s not yours yet. So, at 6:20am, they were officially out of Cricuts at our local Wally World.
I have yet to make something with this wonderful piece of crafting machinery, so today I am sharing with you a card I made with my other machine…the Cuttlebug. I love my bug!! This card uses the Red Tag Alpha…my FAVORITE alpha!!
Be sure to check back tomorrow for the SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY. I have a feeling you are going to like what I have in store for you! Happy shopping and if you want it, be sure it’s in your hands or people like my husband will come take it out from under your nose. I laugh only because I have the Cricut at my house now. Shame on him tho, right? Nah!
Dimensions: 5″ square
Stamps: Rough Edges Alpha (SU!), Diaper Pins (A Muse)
Ink: Brocade Blue, Basic Black (SU!)
Paper: Brocade Blue, Whisper White (SU!); Polka Dot DP (American Crafts)

I LOVE it when men do the shopping for the exact reason that you list. I know I would have been too polite to grab it out from under that lady but my husband would have done exactly what yours did! LOL! Gotta love ‘em!
All I can say is GO TONY!
(I didn’t even realize that Walmart sold Cricuts!)
I got my cricut last year the same way — those hubbies really come through when the shopping counts!! Have fun playing!
This card is so cute! Love the colors, and I too, love my bug! What a great hubby you have!
Super cute baby card!!!! Congrats on getting the last cricut at Wally World!! : ) Sounds like you’ve got a good hubby!! : )
Your card is adorable, and I love the diaper pins! Super cute!
Congrats on the Cricut !!!! Now, that’s a man who loves his woman to even attempt to take a Cricut away from a woman !!! Good for him !!! I’m sure he had this evil rush when he put it in his cart too !!! hehehehe !! Gotta love a man like that !!
Have a great day
