Page Kit Swap for EB Repo Cruise thru the Panama Canal - 08/17-09/01

[Tigger1221]

How do you get the images of Mickey and Minnie through Cricut. I understand that the images are available on one of the cartridges, but what produced the different colours?

Each character had their own "layers" so it cut a base, and then you cut the shorts,shoes, face etc all seperate, they and glue that to the base layer. I hope that made sense.

Yeah... I finally finished my page and I must admit I am pretty happy. If I knew how to use the scanner at home i would put it in but I need my 13 year old to do that. Maybe when he gets back from camp tomorrow.

Morning ladies.

Just popping in for a few minutes before I head off to work.

I have the Cricuit Expression and I just love that machine. Except I do need to call Provo Craft because I think I have a software problem. When I use the shift key, it does not cut the top layers for me, it still cuts the bottom layers, so I am extremely frustrated. I used the Disney character cartridge to cut out 10" characters (the Fab Five) for our cabin door. I am making most of my stuff for the door using that. So right now it's a little pain in the neck because I have to recut the whole base in whatever color I need to get the top layers, then I have to cut them out.

Have you seen the new cartridge that just came out? The Storybook cartridge. It is awesome, can do so much. A must have for those of us with a Cricuit. You can check it out on ebay, type in Storybook Cricuit. Will have to wait till after the TOAL to get it though.

WELCOME DEBI

Happy to have you joining us. Sorry again to hear about your store but as I said on the main board you helped hundreds of people capture their wonderful memories and that is pretty cool.

Can you tell me how you did characters for your door opr better yet scan one in for me to look at. Did they end up being small or do you have the supper sized Cricut? I am working on door signs and would love some great ideas.

Ruth

Ruth,
Let me see if I can get one of the kids to scan. I am useless when it comes to that stuff. I can take a picture and email it if you pm me your email address. That I can do!

Sorry to interupt but thought you might want to see what I did for one of my pages using the cricut. I also made a Pirate Mickey but he is temporaly lost. So for those who don't have a cricut they are amazing. This whole layout is done with the Cricut: We did the WB Repo and I am just starting to scrap it.

Once again sorry for interrupting but I LOVE MY CRICUT!!!!

Love your pages!

I love my Expression too. Have you tried using the shift lock instead? I know I kept forgetting to hit shift first then the button I wanted to cut. I have seen the Storybook cartridge, but I am waiting to get Graphically speaking instead. (too girly, I have a grandson) Those Disney characters are just so cute, but they are really time consuming to cut out...all those pieces. Have you tried any of the Princesses? I did Grumpy for a friend who was moving away and it turned out really nice. I might have to do Grumpy or Goofy for my DH, but he may not be too amused.

This makes complete sense. I wondered if you use the colour pens and then cut it out.

Hi ... I'm in a panic here ... I leave on Saturday, and my Mom's still not home from the hospital. I've got my FE gifts done and my Swap Kits are ready. Secret Mickey gifts are done. Only have to pack it all. I will have my laptop with me, so my brother will keep me informed of Mom's health. They won't release her until the infection is gone, and it won't go away.

Hello girls. I have not been on for so long. I have been so busy trying to get everything in order in my house. Currently I have two kids sitting with me at the table doing homework. I picked up their math books yesterday so they can get nine days of homework done before Monday. We leave Tuesday and I am not doing, I mean I am not overseeing, homework on the trip!

I love how everyone is so excited, I am too. Can't wait to see all of you to talk about scrapbooking.

I am Freaking out.. I have a house full of guests for the entire weekend and a kid just returned from camp with SOME of the clothes he left with.

No hope of any packing for me until Monday, Let's hope we have what we need.

 

[crzy4dals]

I can start to feel the panic bug creeping up.
I am just about finished with my pieces. They are all cut I just have to glue them and well with the other items on the dining room table for the cruise I have limited space - to allow them to dry right.

So 2 more days and I will be done - or at least by Saturday.

Mary Jane, prayers are being said for your mother.
Did I ever tell you how much I loved your blog last summer?

Of course! Which is why we usually pack the day before......

Don't open it until after you are finished packing!

No kidding! I could totally see how they might be too excited to do any work though!!! Claire (7) keeps telling me that as soon as the kid's club opens she is going! LOL!

How in the world can they not pack ALL of their clothes??? 17dd has gone to camp for years and every time I tell her to PLEASE put her dirty clothes in a bag inside her duffle as soon as she takes them off. So she WON'T lose any of her clothes!!! LOL! She never listens!
