Good morning! I hope you’ve had a fabulous week & that you have been following along with my Cricut® question series. You can see question 1 here & question 2 here & question 3 here & question 4 here & question 5 here & question 6 here. Whew! That was a lot of “ands”. ha! Annnnnd now we have moved on to question 7 ~ Will I be required to use cartridges with the Cricut?
Truthfully, this is what held me back (for years!!) from purchasing a Cricut machine. I didn’t want to buy cartridges! I also wanted to cut my own fonts. Annnnnd thankfully both of those options are available with the Cricut Explore machines that are available right now from Cricut. Yay! So the answer to the question is a big NO! You do not need cartridges to use these machines. Yay! Annnnd don’t worry! If you do have Cricut cartridges they can still be used on these machines. So it’s a win win for everyone. Yay!
Enjoy these projects….that were made using my Cricut Explore Air™ & NOT made with any cartridges. ;) Click on the image for the full tutorial.

Hot Beverage Station + How to Clean a Coffee Maker
I’m sharing affresh® in my life as part of a sponsored series for Socialstars™. #affresh
Hello there! One of my must haves in my kitchen is a hot beverage station. We do not drink coffee, but we are addicted to hot chocolate. ha! Annnnd in the winter (or on a super cool summer night like we have been having here) a hot cup of apple cider is perfect. About once a month or so I like to clean our single serve brewer really well with affresh® Coffeemaker Cleaner. It is amazing at getting out all of those hard water deposits & mineral build-up. Let me show you how! :)

As most of you know, I’ve had a Silhouette for years. Annnnd I have a very, very large Silhouette library to go along with that! But never fear you can use most of these images with your Cricut. Let me show you how! First, open up your cut file in Silhouette Studio.
