Good morning! This weekend my church holds it’s semi-annual General Conference. Church leaders including our prophet & apostles speak to us sharing inspired messages that are just for us & you, too. They are timely messages that are truly for everyone. Along with conference weekend, comes many traditions in our family, we always have a big breakfast with yummy breakfast casserole and of course, cinnamon rolls. We then watch conference, and many of us take notes as we listen to the speakers. I usually grab some inexpensive notebooks from the Dollar Tree to use for notetaking. This year I personalized them just a little bit. So I thought I’d share how to make these cute Conference Journal! Let’s get started! :)

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

Good morning! :) When Cricut launched the Cricut Maker 2 years ago, they made a promise to come out with more tools & more materials. They have not disappointed! :) Over the last few years the Maker’s arsenal of tools has grown & along with that creators (like you & me) have had the chance to master new crafts & create things we never knew we could. It’s truly ah-mazing!  These tools are all possible, & can be used only with Maker, because it was specially designed with an Adaptive Tool System. Recently Cricut released 4 more tools (Eek!!!) made especially for the Maker using this system. Annnnnd I can’t wait to tell you all about them. I used two of those tools to make this cute Peel-a-way Banana Card. Let’s get started. I’ve got a lot to tell you! :)
