I'm Kay Newman, and I'm delighted to share my sometimes hard-earned tips and tricks for the Cricut machine. My obsession with the cricket began about seven years ago when I decided to buy a Cricutt machine, got it home, unboxed it, and then realized I had no idea what this machine could do. It turns out the Cricut can do a lot, but because it can do so many things, sometimes that can be very confusing. It delights me to help other people get to their goals with the cricket a little bit faster,
A little about me... I'm a Colorado native. I've worked as a UX designer, product designer, and software designer over the years. I also love to play tennis, dance, ride my E-bike, and play with any art or craft supply I can get my hands on.
