MY take on the Workshops on the Go TYPESET KIT

The first time I seen the Workshops on the Go "Typeset Kit" I knew I had to get it. However, I was sad when I realized I needed a Cricut® that would cut 12 x 12 paper instead of my small 12 x 6 paper cutting machine.

I waited and waited for the perfect sale before I realized I would not be buying a larger Cricut® machine anytime soon. No fear! I decided to cut my pages out by hand and guess what? It worked. It took me longer, but I still was able to create these pages without the larger Cricut® machine. Don't get me wrong! I still plan on buying a larger Cricut® machine, but the price has to be right for me!

Oh I used my small Cricut® machine to cut out the small items. It was the big items that I cut out by hand.

Also, I added extra embellishments to my layouts to make it my own. I really like how my layouts turned out! Now I just need to get the perfect pictures on these layouts!
