Many of you know that I have been working as a Cricut demonstrator for quite a while now. Our Sundays in Utah have been notoriously s-l-o-w, and today was no exception. To help the day go by faster, I had a brilliant idea to have the first ever Cricut-off challenge. (As many of you know, I love a good challenge). Amberly, who I am so lucky to work with, is extremely talented, so I knew it would be a good match. I got 2 identical pill bottles from the pharmacy and challenged her to make something "amazing". The rules were that we could only use cuts from the cartridges we were demoing, and we had to use the gypsy. This is the two very different projects that we came up with, and now have open for voting at the store (mainly for bragging rights and maybe an ice cream), but mostly to show people that you can take something as ordinary as an empty pill bottle and turn it into an amazing one of a kind piece of art work. I will not reveal which one is mine for a few days as not to bias your opinion, but I would love to hear what you all think, and which one is your favorite. Note, that due to the roundness of the bottle it was difficult to get shots that show the entire bottles. They are, for sure, much cuter in person. Having said that let me know what you think, or better yet, come see me at the Ogden, Utah costco to see the actual projects, pick up some cartridges, and be inspired.

They're both so cute; it's hard to vote! I think the "twitterpated" one is my fave -- so creative and 3-D!
