Some of my cricut sisters threw me a belated birthday party last Saturday. It was a surprise since my birthday is in December but with the holiday's and all it usually gets lost. Not to these women. They made sure it was the best birthday ever!!! My wonderful hubby even kept it a secret and managed to rearrange my day successfully behind my back :).Thank you all again you mean so much to me! I love my cricut family!

2011-12-04T05:56:00.001-05:00

I was looking to make a cute pencil holder and went searching on the sales floor for something. I came across the paint cans. I though hmmmm....I went and got a Damask print Transparency sheet some ribbon and some jewelry charms and here she is. It is much prettier in person, I could not get a good picture.

This was a cute, quick project and I think today I am going to make some baby ones too!

6x6 baby layout

2011-05-22T06:45:00.002-04:00

Sorry for the horrible picture I took it with my phone not my camera. One of the girls at work just had her baby girl so we are putting a scrapbook together for her. Someone had the bright idea to make it 6x6. I normally don't work that small but here it is. She loved this layout in full size so I shrunk it for her. This is an easy layout to do. It's from Life's a Party.

Mothers Day Birdhouse

2011-05-04T17:46:00.001-04:00

Welcome new followers from momo's blog and thank you for the kind comments. I will have new projects posted here soon. I have been trying to stop by all of your blogs as well and they are all amazing!

My Favorite part of the update so far

2011-03-15T09:14:00.002-04:00

I am loving the update. I still need to do the Imagine Machine part but I have been playing with the Gypsy part. My favorite function.....being able to work on my lap. I love being able to design with the Imagine but in my Gypsy on my lap. I know it seems silly but being able to be on the couch with my G on my lap is the best part so far. Do the update!!

Gypsy Imagine Update is Here!!

2011-03-09T00:05:00.003-05:00

Here's all the info from Provocraft:

The Big update is now available. This update will give greater compatibility between the Gypsy and the Imagine, will allow you to link Imagine cartridges to your Gypsy, adds a few new features to the Imagine, and fixes some calibration, printing and cutting issues. There is also a Cricut Sync update available that was actually released a few days ago so some of you might already have it. The update is 2.0.4.8.New Imagine Features:Update All - A button in the Project Preview screen. Add as many images/layers to your queue and then press Update All. You can now add the same color/pattern to all images/layers in the queue and size them all at the same time. This feature is very nice if you are cutting out a bunch of letters and don't want to have to individually edit each letter.

Pattern Cartridges - Now, when you insert a pattern cartridge, the Imagine will show what pattern cartridge was inserted and show a sampling of the patterns on that cartridge. This was added because many people thought their pattern cartridges didn't work since nothing shows on the screen after plugging them in.The Imagine update should be fairly quick if you have kept your Imagine up to date.The Gypsy update will take longer. I updated a brand new Gypsy this morning and it took over an hour and a half to complete all of the updates. Another person updated an up to date Gypsy and it took him about 45 minutes. So please be patient and please be sure to follow the instructions on the Imagine update site:http://www.cricut.com/cricutsync/This site has intructions for both the Gypsy and the Imagine.

The Gypsy will now have two apps on it:
The Gypsy App, which will funtion as it always has and the Imagine App, which looks just like the Imagine screen. Update Numbers are as follows:Gypsy App - Version 1.4 (0208:0214)Imagine App for Gypsy - Version 1.01 (0110:0020)Imagine - Version 1.01 (0110:0020:0239:202A)Cricut Sync - 2.0.4.8
Following are the times that I experienced taking a Gypsy from Version 1.4 (0206:0208) to (0208:0214).

Remember that I am on a T1 line so you will only have similar times if you are also on a T1 line.

1. Gypsy Content - 14 minutes
2. Started - 5 minutes
3. Updating Cartridge Data -
4 minutes4. Updating Cartridge Overlays - 6 minutes
5. Cleaning Up Storage Data - less than 1 minute
6. Gypsy Imagine-content - 7 minutes
7. Gypsy Updating - 2 minutes
8. Restart Gypsy
9. Gypsy Imagine-application - less than 1 minute
10. Your Device has been detect but it is not communicating. Please recycle the power on the device.
11. I unplugged and plugged the cord and it brought up the Gypsy Projects folder
12. Exit Cricut Sync
13. Start Cricut Sync again and it told me there was an Imagine Application update available
14. Gypsy Imagine-application - less than 1 minute
15. Gypsy Updating - 1 minute
16. Restart Gypsy
17. Your Device has been detect but it is not communicating. Please recycle the power on the device.
18. I unplugged and plugged the cord and it brought up the Gypsy Projects folder. Then it told me there was an Imagine Content update available
20. Gypsy Imagine-content - 6 minutes
21. Installing Library Files - 1 minute
22. Restart GypsyThe total time to do the update was 49 minutes. Hopefully that helps.

Chris Provo Craft

Plug in the Gypsy and/or the Imagine and do the sync for each. Here's a link to a thread on the Cricut message board where people have commented on the update and done some troubleshooting: http://community.provocraft.com/Cricut-Community_postst58449_IMAGINE-GYPSY-UPDATE-AVAILABLE---Expected-Time-to-Gypsy-Completion-Added.aspx

So look around your home, scrap room or visit a Arts & Craft store and find something to alter. It can be a piece of wood, a glass block, paper mache, a clipboard or just about anything! There are two exceptions...... yes you guessed it, no cards or scrapbook page layouts. The prize will be a Cricut French Manor cart. make sure to link your creations." Happy crafting.....Deborah.

We will be making some simple gift tags from the Snow Angels cartridge. While I was making some tags I also thought hmmmm...... a gift box to put them in. I used the TBBM matchbox and colored it with the Snow Angels cart to make them match, a 3-d pointsettia on top and Viola! Quick, simple and practical from the Imagine.

See you there!

Black Friday at ACMoore

2010-11-21T08:50:00.002-05:00

Hi I saw the ad yesterday and wanted to pass info on.

199 for the expression bundle includes 4 cartridges and 1 pack of 7 inks
34.99 for all regular cricut carts
19.99 for all the seasonal carts
9.99 for some selected spellbinders dies
and some special coupons for early birds

they open at 5am I know our store has many of these expressions, but hurry the price goes up at noon!

2010-11-03T06:43:00.005-04:00

Here is the cards I have been wanting to make. All pieces were cut with the Imagine. This will go even better once the Gypsy can cut with color.

The baby frame I made made as a store display. We used a scrap piece of mat and it was great. I took the mat home and adjusted the color and paper pattern backround to work together. It came out pretty good I think.

I took the plunge and did the Gypsy and Imagine update.....

2010-11-02T22:23:00.002-04:00

Ok if you have followed along when I first got my first Imagine machine I did the update and it blew my mother board. So they sent me a new one and I have been petrified to do the update on it. So Chris from provo announced this morning it was safe to go in the water. I did and I have to say YIPEEEEEEE! I finally get to make the card I have wanted to make since I got the machine. And now she is fully compatable with my Gypsy. Life is Great right now. I will be crafting all night to see just what this baby can do.

I was excited to get my email the other day. Provo Craft gave me and only 99 other people the opportunity Thursday to sneak peek the download with smiley cards cart. That cart is adorable. It has emotioncons just like my phone and IM do. They are stinkin cute! I love some of the envelopes on there too. Absolutely another great card cart from cricut and its free if you already have your Gypsy.

2010-10-26T06:47:00.004-04:00

6 New Cricut Cartridges Announced Yesterday

2010-10-22T05:51:00.014-04:00

New Classes Added

2010-10-12T05:51:00.001-04:00

Due to the popularity of the 3-d ornament class and the cards with movement class I have added another time slot. See 2 posts below for additional times and samples

My New Imagine Arrived

2010-10-12T05:46:00.003-04:00

I am thrilled my new machine got here safe and sound. Provo Craft has always been good to me and this time was no different. I sent it back on a Thursday...they called me on Friday to tell me I would see it on Monday and I did. She works perfectly. She still won't read some of the newer cartridges but hopefully that will be worked out soon.

There will be an update for the Imagine and the Gypsy on Oct. 18th Facebook said and below is what it will include.

1. Edge to Edge printing (Imagine only update)- Full bleed (may leave a small boarder on your paper depending on how well it is aligned)- Overspray: this will print just beyond the edge of the paper leaving a bit of ink on your mat which can easily be rinsed out with warm water – this assures a full bleed.PHASE 1 Gypsy/Imagine Compatibility1. Allows you to cut your classic Cricut Cartridges with Cricut Imagine using Gypsy (no printing using Gypsy, yet)2. Cricut Imagine and Gypsy bug fixes: this will be standard with most upgrades to ensure you have the best experience with your machines.3. No special Gypsy design features with Imagine content (like welding, stretching, etc.), just yet.More information will be released about future updates (release dates and update details) when appropriate.

I will not do the update right away. I will wait a bit and see if any unknown glitches occur.

New Projects Posted at the store

2010-09-29T17:14:00.006-04:00

Hi everyone. Well the next chapter in my Imagine saga is .....she got shipped back today and my replacement should be here Friday. Now before you gasp, I had to send back my first original baby bug way back when for a glitch in it's system. I am glad I stayed positive and kept an open mind. Can you imagine where my crafting would be if I gave up then? I did not give in then and I won't now. I love my bugs and my new projects will show you how much.

I as usual forgot to take pictures before taking them to the store to post so I will get them up soon. But here are the dates and class times.

November 13, 2010 10-1 & Just added 5:30-9 Cricut Holiday cards with movement
November 13, 2010 2:30-5:30 Cricut Thanksgiving Layout

See store for availability. See you soon!

Imagine Update needed

2010-09-24T09:30:00.003-04:00

I hope they do the update soon to the Imagine. I don't know what I was thinking.....it is like a Gypsy in a way. Since the new Holiday Limited Carts juat came out the Imagine does not read them yet. I was all excited for an idea I had with the new Christmas card cart and the Imagine more cart. I plugged both carts in the other day and boom. Nothing it says I need to update. So I am alittle bummed while I wait to try out my idea and the fact that new carts have to be added to the machine itself to work....so I would not choose this as my only cricut. If you have another cricut don't let it go to just buy the Imagine. Right now their ae cartridge limitations. That being said I do love it and have no regrets buying it. I was just caught by surprise.

Cricut "Imagine" Very cool indeed.

2010-09-19T06:57:00.006-04:00

I am so excited! My new Cricut Imagine was delivered late Friday and I was working both Friday eve and all day Saturday so I had to wait to play. After getting home last night around 9, I decieded to crack open the box (thanks Stacey for helping to hold the box) and not wait until morning. I am so glad I did. What a cool machine!!! It took me about 20 minutes to set her up and get her updated, then I got to play. I just goofed around with a couple of quick little projects just to get the feel for it. It was pretty easy and they came out great. Love the touch screen. My Bazzill cs I ordeded will not be here til Monday but I had some CTMH 12x12 daisy white cs that worked beautifuly on my cuts.

This machine I tell you is huge and heavy. Not one you will bring with you to class. Too heavy to be portable. We will learn together on the store machine when it arrives for demoing.

I always knew I wanted to be a mom someday. When that day finally came I had no idea what it would really feel like. 14 years ago my life changed forever. I realized what the definition of unconditional love meant. I was truly blessed by god, for he gave me the opportunity to become a mother to the BEST daughter anyone could ever ask for. My email signature reads "nothing is better than being a mom" and for me nothing is. I thank god for my children everyday. Happy Birthday honey, here's to another great year!

Christmas in July............

These are just a couple of ornaments I have been making to start off my holiday gift giving season. Save those empty ribbon spools. Again no cricut if you can beleive it.

Okay, Little freaked out here! Earthquake in MD

2010-07-16T10:23:00.003-04:00

Something I never though I would feel and quite honestly don't want to feel again. We had a 3.6 magnitude earthquake in Maryland this morning. It felt like the ground was moving under our house. Everything shook and rumbled. No damage no injuries thankfully. I am just freaked and so is my son (lucky he felt it too, so I know I am not nuts). My hubby though I was crazy until I made him go check it out himself. Just wanted to share. Have a peaceful day everyone.

Sweet Simple Mini Albums, SSPT July Challenge

2010-07-13T08:37:00.006-04:00

I love summer! I have plenty of time to craft as well as play with my kids. This month the SSPT challenge was flowers and bling. I saw this Bobunny paper at the store and knew what I was making. The flowers were made from the Sizzix 3-d flower die. I used perals, and alot of the glimmer mist I got at the Great American Scrapbook Convention in June. I also used my new Cinch. It is so much easier to use than my blue BIA. I am glad I switched.

These mini albums will be a class I am adding at the store as I have had many requests for non cricut classes. This class will be September 4th 9:30-12:30 once I get the September schedule posted.

Christina did a video on how to use this die http://www.creationswithchristina.com/2010/06/3d-flowers.html it was as easy as it looks.

I am so excited...

2010-07-06T14:41:00.003-04:00

SSPT DT "Stiches" Challenge

2010-06-20T13:14:00.003-04:00

For my Stiches challenge I was sew excited to finally use this House Mouse stamp I had gotten not too long ago. I had sew much fun coloring it this morning. I used Bobunny "Sophie" cardstock, PTI cardstock, Nestabilities and of course my Copics. My daughters had to color with me too. My older one did the Harry Hopper on the top left, my 6 year old did all the others. She insists on putting smiles on her Tildas. It has been a great crafting day so far, and it has only just begun.

Happy Fathers Day to all you wonderful dads out there.

2010-06-20T07:33:00.003-04:00

I am pretty proud of my first Cake!

2010-05-07T21:55:00.003-04:00

Not bad for my first attempt. I used the icing sheets for this one as I needed a demo cake for the store for tomorrow. Though I can not do the demo it will help Dana out I hope. After the weekend I will replace the butterfly with a 3d gumpaste one. I just did not have the time today for that. I hope you like it. Thanks for loooking.

Cake update 2

2010-05-06T06:27:00.002-04:00

Ok my fake cake is covered in fondant thank you Jen and I am ready to get decorating. I bought a pasta machine for rolling out my gumpaste thinner and it seems to make it a bit easier to flatten. I hope to post the finished product by the weekend.

Cake Update 1

2010-05-03T06:45:00.000-04:00

ok I tried out my cake machine. I need to find the right consistency for the gum paste that in it self has a learning curve. But when I used the icing sheets....I got perfect cuts the first time out. Easy as can be. I will have the chance to spend more time with it this week.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day...What will you be doing today?

2010-05-01T05:00:00.005-04:00

I will be teaching 2 wonderful classes today at ACMoore and this morning I finally have the time to try out my new Cricut Cake. I am so excited to get started.

Way Out of My Comfort Zone Card

2010-02-07T09:30:00.001-05:00

This is way out there for me I had such fun doing it. I had a Hollyberry House stamp for a couple of years now and recently had seen a few examples posted on other blogs so I though I would give it a try while I was snowed in yesterday and my Cricut needed a rest. I used my copics and stamped and colored the image 4 time to cut out the various layers. I used my nesties for the backround and lots of smooch spritz. Where have I been I love the smooch I hope you can see the sparkle in the picture. TFL I hope you like it.

33in of snow who would have thought they would be right!

We are all snowed in today. Bummer for my son. Have to cancel the birthday bash planned for tomorrow. Oh well mother nature had other plans. I have been crafting since last night and have come up with some goodies. I will try to get them posted quickly. My ACMoore class for today the Gypsy LOVE book will be rescheduled for March 13 2:30-5:30.

Little DD's kindergarten V Day favors

2010-01-24T21:54:00.003-05:00

I made 40 of these between little DD in K and Big DD student teaching I think I covered it all. They are from the new Cricut mini cart Love Struck. I used the clam shell the carts come in as the plastic sheeting for the heart shaped window. These are cut at 5 1/2 inches so the box of candies fit right inside. I love this cartridge so much I have used it alot in the last few weeks.
