Let's Learn Cricut with Cara

How about a fancy wreath card?

I love the way I can plan my project on my Gypsy ....everything is cut in one load of my mat.  I plan the colors, the sizing and can create a custom unique card.  Now you can too!   What cartridge has this card?

 

I have some brand new mini "classes" that will be offered in 2012.  These mini classes will feature a specific card or project ...just one.  The class will offer a printable project instruction sheet and supply list AND a  GYPSY file!  Yes, the project has been designed for you!  You simply save to your computer and load onto your Gypsy.  As long as you have the cartridge or catridges I used to create the project linked to your Gypsy, you can cut the project with your Cricut!  These mini classes will be priced at 2.50 each and available as Classes to Go...that means you get the project right now!  

I will be adding a few free ones this month so you can try it out and see how they work.  The first Mini Class features this Wreath Card.  Download this class now and give it a try!  Hugs, Cara

Happy Thanksgiving

I wanted to share a hug with you on this wonderful day as we take time to give thanks.  Sometimes we are so busy with the details that we forget what is really important.... family. I am so grateful to have 5 wonderful children who make the world brighter just because. Laughing, hugging, eating and being together is all that really matters.  Happy Thanksgiving one and all!

Life has gotten in my way lately...

Not bad life ...just life!  Things have been a bit hectic this fall and I am waiting to be bored some time soon LOL  Never a dull moment around here.  I won't bore you with the details but let's just say I could have been my own reality show for the past couple of months! 

But I am really going to make an effort to stay on task and be better at keeping this updated. Yes, we just returned from the Fall Cricut and Copics Cruise and we had a blast.  The New England and Canada trip was amazing and so relaxing!  Lots of time to "cut and color" and our scraproom on the ship was gorgeous!  WE had ocean views out of our round windows.  Lesley was our room steward and he made sure we had plenty of coffee and juices and water and of course cookies and pastries!  Anytime you wandered into the room someone was creating something fun!  Having all those new friends made the trip so much more fun! 

 

And if you missed this one...no worries, I am doing it again!  September 2012 Cricut and Copic Cruise Mark your calendar ...September 3rd only 4 days so we have to Cricut fast!  Out of Miami ... Key West, Coco Kay and Bahamas! 

New classes are popping up online at My Creative Classroom if that works better for you so be sure to check those out too. 

**and remember Whispers are now instant downloads!  No more waiting for printer and the mailman!  You can have it with you always on your phone, your iPad, your laptop and your computer.  It is yours and if you need it on all your devices, you are welcome to do just that.   The Whisper has new additions too...Whisper for the Imagine and Whisper for the E2 are uploading this weekend.  Hugs, Cara

Yes, it is my Cricut and Copics Cruise this week! I am sailing today out of Boston for our Fall Foliage week long cruise. Lots of "cricuting" and coloring! I will be back next Saturday. I will have limited email access but will post lots of photos when I return, See you soon! Hugs, Cara
