Hey guys, it’s me, that girl katie, I received my awesome Circut machine last week and ended up with 1 evening to learn how it worked + create my design for the Cricut Design Star Challenge before leaving town.
While I worked during a hot August evening, I had images of Jane Fonda in the movie, Working 9-5 during the copier scene where she created a paper explosion. By 1am my office looked something like that movie scene.
This months challenge subject was fashion/gear and the team I am apart of "Lucky #13" decided on the theme "Gold Is The New Black".
I created the CHOOSE HAPPINESS ribbon.
This year I learned the simple yet complex lesson that happiness is a choice & I am trying very hard to choose happiness! Some days are easier than others.
For this months challenge I wanted to produce an item that could be worn while promoting a conversation, “What makes you happy?”
Here are a few responses to the question.
While my design is super basic it’s an example of what the Circut can produce and how it can help make a difference in someone’s day.
I am excited to forge ahead with my Cricut Design Star Challenge creating original items to share with you all.
Meet my team "Lucky #13".
If you have time I hope you will consider checking out their awesome designs.

In the future I will have more detailed posts on how the Circut works but for now I have one tip. Avoid using construction paper because it will leave a film residue on the mat.
Until next time, what makes you happy?
P.S. I was compensated with a machine but all projects, ideas and opinions are all mine! Thanks to Cricut for hosting the Cricut Design Space Star!
