Create-A-Critter Valentines

So, I have been MIA for quite some time and have been longing for a reason to use my cricut. However, when my 6 year old asked me to help her make handmade valentines for all the kids in her class I instantly lost motivation or desire to do it. She hates the gypsy and likes to do it the "old fashioned way" of pushing each button. Let me tell you, it takes a lot of patience to make a class-full of valentines with the assistance of a 4-year old and a 6-year old who are sharing a rolling office chair as they assist you. Nevertheless, I got over myself and enjoyed the time with my kids and came up with cards she chose and I just added my touch too. I have to say, I'm not patient enough yet to let her use the tape runner or glue stick for everything, but I did let her do the corner rounder. These were all made from create a critter.
