As some of you know, I have an 11 year old grand-daughter, Bianca, who has been crafting with me since she was 3 years old.  She even has her own supplies set up in my craft studio for when she comes over.  This girl would rather craft than go to the movies or zoo … with no prompting from me.  Makes this Nonny proud ! 

So today, I want to brag a little about her as she is with me for Thanksgiving week. She came with a project in mind.. MAKING HOLIDAY CARDS FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS who are in the hospital and away from their families.  Someone at her school is gathering the cards. And today, she wanted to use the Cricut Explore all on her own (well mostly) to create the cards. She had so much fun that Instead of making the 2 cards the teacher suggested they make over the Thanksgiving break, she made 20 cards in about 2 hours and LOVES the Cricut Explore !!!

Here is a testimonial from an 11 year old’s point of view using the Cricut Explore for the first time who has used other Cricut machines before:

My Question to her: ” So what did you think about using the Cricu Explore and how you pick our images to use in Cricut Design Space?”

Bianca’s Answer: ” It was so SUPER Simple to use the Cricut Explore. I really liked the dials and buttons were easy to understand how to use.  And to do the image search and scroll through to find exactly what I wanted to use was AWESOME !   Getting what I picked out on the mat was easy too. And I really liked using that dragging image feature to size them so I could see what they were going to really look like easier.”

My Question to her: “what did you like most about using the Cricut Explore today?”

Bianca’s Answer: “I LOVED using the Print Then Cut thing…it was so easy and fast to make those teddy bears (from Teddy Bear Parade Images) for my cards.It was fun changing the colors to what I wanted to use on my cards too.   I am happy I was able to make more cards to share with the soldiers by using it. WHY have we not been able to do this before ???  I could use this EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE ! “

My Question to her: “Was there anything you didn’t like about using the Cricut Explore?” 

Bianca’s Answser :  “Yes, I don’t have one at my house !  Can I have one for my birthday in December, pretty please? My friends and I would have to much fun using it AND we would use it for homework projects too…really we would !” 

So there you have it. Even an 11 year old found using the Cricut Explore to be Simple and Easy to use to create projects.
