Yes, the Whisper for the Imagine is here!  All the tips and tricks you need to make sure you and your Imagine are "besties" and buzzing along with a smile.  Available in the Download Version

Or the "in your hand" printed card version on a ring!   

 

   $15.00   And if you want BOTH  (thanks for asking Pat) I will put together a Buy One Get One For half price offer....the paper version is 15.00 plus 2.50 shipping and the electronic version is 15 no shipping of course. If you want to buy both, the electronic will be 7.50. So.... 15.00+7.50=22.50 plus 2.50 shipping= 25.00 If you want to order both let me know by email and I will send you a paypal request and your download link too. cara@caramiller.com

This one is about me ...

I know you all come here to read about Cricuts and classes and I hope my Whispers.  Today I wanted to share a bit of behind the scenes with you too.  You know that I am married to my high school sweetheart and have 5, yes 5!  amazing... now grown children.  If you have a day or two I could tell you all about how amazing they are too!  

But today I am going to talk to you about change. Change is scary but this change is amazing! I am no longer working full tme at my boring day job.  At first blush that may seem like it could be troubling and cause for alarm and I have to say I had a couple days feeling that way too.  But suddenly I realized that this was actually a blessing and I now have the opportunity to do what I have always truly longed to do...work full time for myself teaching.  Teaching is what I love and now I have the time to do just that. I wake up every day excited to go to "work" and can't wait to get these ideas out of my head and into class lessons for you.  I used to think..."if I could put as much time and effort into doing what I love, I could make a good living... doing what I love."  Well, I have been given that opportunity and I am running with it!  Look out 2012...here I come!  Yes, I am truly blessed and "everything happens for a reason".  

My courses at My Creative Classroom are opening for enrollment this week and boy do I have a full schedule!  I am adding to my Classes to Go course list too.  I am able to offer my Whispers  in the printed version and the download too!  So many of you have asked for the printed Whispers but time was so limited before that it was impossible.  Not anymore!  I am so excited to share these with you.  I am also able to offer monthly Cricut Project Downloads ...every month too!!  And there are so many more fantastic plans I am working on too...can't wait to share them with you.  Just BELIEVE!

New Whispers!

Ok...I asked and you answered.  You like the Whispers that you can hold in your hot little hands!  Well oke dokie!  The Whispers are at the printers as I type and the real ol fashioned "on the ring" Whispers that we all know and love ...will be ready for shipping later this week (so I was promised!) As soon as I have them I will let you know.  I will be changing the order form and you will have the option to order Paper, electronic ...or both!  

Whisper for Cricut has all the details you need to help you use your Expression and get the most out of this fun machine.  All the modes and features are included.  Yes, a Whisper is basically the "Spark Notes" for your Cricut.  Remember Spark Notes were those little booklets that you rushed to buy in August ...just before school started when you realized that you had not read one of the summer reading books you were supposed to read over the summer!  These little booklets let you go back to school and survive English class.  Well, the Whisper is going to do even better for your "cricuting" !! 

I have three Whispers...so far... with two others almost ready for you. This week, you will see the first two... Whisper for Cricut and Whisper for Gypsy.  And now ready to join his friends, Whisper for Imagine!  I can't wait for you to see this one!  The website will have these all ready to order tomorrow !  Hugs, Cara 

Thanks for all your feedback!

I knew if I asked you ...you would tell me what you like about the Whispers and how to make them work better for you.  I have the best blog readers!  Those of you that commented...I will putting together a project just for you.  Give me a couple of days and I will let you know how you can get your thank you project from me :) 

I have read all the feedback here and on the facebook page and some of you even emailed me your ideas. I am thrilled and will be working on ways to improve the Whispers.  Thanks again, Cara

I have some WHISPER questions for you...

but I don't expect you to answer just cuz you love me!  I have a give away too.  I want to know what you think...no not about the new jeans I have or should I let my hair grow or what color should wear on my nails.  No...I have a tougher question that I saved for all of you.  I am working on Whispers ... I am sure you know what those are right?  Whispers are my handy guides for all your different Cricut machines.  So here are my questions:

Would you rather have a Whisper in the paper version or the electronic version or both?  

Currently I offer Whispers for the Expression, Whisper for the Gypsy.  The Whisper for E2 and Whisper for the Imagine are in the works ... are there any other topics you would like to see in a Whisper version?

 

Everyone that takes the time to share your opinion will receive a free Project Kit Download.  Really this is your chance to voice your opinion.  I want to hear from you.  Email me at cara@caramiller.com, post a comment on Facebook or add comment here.  

Brand New for 2012: Monthly Projects!

I have heard from many of you ...and listened!  You want projects that help you understand how to use a cartridge.  Many of you don't have time for a full class..just want to know how to cut things from a cartridge.  Each month I will choose a different cartridge and create 3 projects from that cartridge that show you the ins and outs and offer you tips and tricks that I discovered.  The projects will be created with your Cricut...you don't need a Gypsy to create these.  Some cartridges (this month's choice for example) work best with the 12x12 mat.  I will show you photos of the projects so you can decide if this month's project is for you.  Download the ones you want...anytime you want.  Priced at $5.00 (for all three of course!), these projects will help you explore and understand your cartridges.  Click here to Buy Now

My word for 2012 is...

the same word I choose for 2011...BELIEVE!  I have thought and thought about which word was best for me as I enter 2012.  New beginnings is my motto...there are many new challenges and adventures facing my family this year and BELIEVE is the only possible choice for us.  Yes, I believe.
