Blog Farewell Announcement as of July 31st

Happy July 1st everyone !  It's Debbie of http://www.scrapmequickdesigns.com/ and your Cricut FANatics Blog Administrator. 
 
As another year in the Cricut Circle comes to an end this month, it is time to sit back and reflect on all that we have done here on Cricut FANatics over the past year since we started the blog for our fellow Circlets and to inspire other Cricut users. 
 
Since September 1, 2012, the day we opened the blog we have had :
  • 340 Followers
  • 322 Posts
  • 5,340 published comments on those posts
  • 92,713 Page Views
  • Visitors from around the world...USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Russia, Poland, Netherlands, Germany, France, Latvia and Australia
  • Hosted numerous Challenges to inspire people to actually USE their Cricut machines AND
  • Last but not least, some of the AMAZING CRICUT PROJECTS FROM OUR WONDERFULLY TALENTED CRICUT FANATICS DESIGN TEAM !!!
WOW...WHAT AN AWESOME JOURNEY WE HAVE HAD THIS YEAR!
 
It's been my privilege to lead the effort on the blog along with my fellow Challenge Administers, Rebecca Maddux and Amy Sgro this past year.  But all good things must come to an end, right? 
 
I have made the sad decision based on numerous reasons to bring the Cricut FANatics blog to a close and to stop actively posting projects on the Cricut FANatics Blog by our designers as of July 31, 2013.  
 
But don't worry, we are not wiping out the blog, we plan to leave the blog up and available for viewing as all of our projects are searchable by project type, machine, Cricut cartridges so you can still use Cricut FANatics as the project inspiration it was originally intended. 
 
I am encouraging our CURRENT CRICUT FANATIC DESIGNERS...PLEASE POST YOUR PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF JULY as a great final send off of Cricut FANatics.  Feel free to post more than one project if you want...the more the merrier.
 
And readers, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LEAVE SOME LOVE FOR OUR CRICUT FANATIC DESIGNERS BY POSTING COMMENTS TO LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE APPRECIATED THEIR WORK.
 
Again, it has been an incredible journey to start this blog and hopefully you will follow me  over at Scrap Me Quick Designs where I inspire die cut inspiration with both the Cricut and Silhouette electronic machines and manual die cutting techniques as well.
 
Happy Die Cutting my friends !
 
Debbie O'Neal

  5. I am so thankful for the year of inspiration and confidence building. I am sad to see you end this adventure. So many of the design team's efforts have led me into making projects I would never have dreamed of trying. I appreciate everything this blog and team has done for me and the other Circle members who felt lost. God Bless Each of You.
