For all of you who are new to Cricut…Did you know you can view the full cartridge manuals before you buy them? Click HERE to go to the Cricut.com’s Cartridge Library. Here you will find a list of the cartridges and links to PDF files of the manuals. I saved the manuals to the cartridges I own on my computer.

DVD Update. I’m pretty much caught up with shipping orders. Don’t forget free shipping is available until Friday ($5 International). Click HERE to order.

Nate's ABCs

March 30, 2011

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

I can’t wait to play with Elegant Edges this weekend…I think I’m going to use it for my April’s Scrapbook Challenge Project….I keep flipping through the manual and I can’t wait to play with it.

Nate’s ABC’s is such a cute cartridge. I got this a while back and I knew as soon as I got it I had to make something with those adorable rain boots. I can’t help it they make me smile.

Today’s card is a 4-1/4″x4-1/4″ card that will work in a standard A2 envelope. I love making this size card.

Supplies: Cricut Expression, Cricut Gypsy, Nate’s ABCs Cricut Cartridge, Cardstock, Fine Linen, Dark Chocolate, Ripe Avocado (Paper Trey Ink), Pattern Paper: Gertie 6×6 Paper Pad (My Minds Eve); Vintage Twine (My Craft Spot), Distress Ink: Vintage Photo, Adhesive, ATG Gun, Dimensionals (Stampin’ Up!) Stamp, Paper Trey Ink

Hope you have a great day…

Is this not the best cartridge ever? I love it…Layouts, cards, altered projects, mini albums. It has so much…

I called AcMoore last night because I heard they had them and my store had 1 left. They are on sale for $39.99 and with my $10 rewards coupon…it was too good to pass up.

I was at Joann’s over the weekend (The good one, 30 minutes away) and saw Kate’s ABC’s. We stood there and looked at it…but didn’t buy it…Why? Why didn’t I buy it? I want it!

Look at all the cute images, hats and flowers and cute little animals.

Why didn’t I get it?
