Can I just tell you how much I LOVE my Cricut Expressions?
I made 27 kits last week for my class and had to cut "is for you" 27 times and I did it all in less than 10 minutes and only used one sheet of 12 x 12 cardstock! It was absolutely fabulous! What the heck took me so long to get one? Now, if only they could invent a machine that could collate and put things into kits for me, I would be set! THANK SO MUCH to all MY GIRLS for getting this for me for my birthday. BTW girls, if you haven't already received your mahalo cards, they are waiting for you at The Scrapbook Garden.
My husband did some research recently and found some software called Sure Cuts A Lot by Craft Edge designed to cut true type fonts from your computer using USB cables to connect to the Cricut machines. We downloaded a 10-day trial which cuts horizontal lines through your design so that you can't use the diecut. The designs look great and cuts really nicely. Tuan even uploaded my Lytle Scrapper logo and it cut that out really well. But those horizontal lines cut really deeply. I had to get a replacement mat and blade because of it. I am wondering if that pressure will go away or if the pressure is controllable with the purchase of the software. I think it's really worth while if that is the case. Has anyone out there purchased this software or tried playing with it?
Class on Saturday was absolutely delightful. I had the BEST group of girls there and we had a wonderful morning staying cool and enjoying chocolate covered strawberries. THANK YOU to all of you girls for making my day truly delightful. In case you were not able to make it to class, I do have some kits left over. Email me at ly@lytlescrapper.com if you are interested in a kit.
And now, Ladies & Gentlemen... DRUM ROLL PLEASE... I have finally got off my tush and took some action on that second New Year's Resolution of mine. I submitted some work to a couple of magazines for possible publication! Anyone who knows me, knows that this is tiny step in the publication process {to actually SUBMIT something} is BIG for me. So keep your fingers and toes crossed for me as I am waiting to hear from them. I am truly grateful to all of you who believed in me, supported me, and have encouraged me to pursue this. I am so thankful to have all of you in my life.
Yes I have heard great things about this program. And you just have to play with the tension before cutting. But it works great.
