Hi Lorna

This is for you.......  Here's a pic of what I mean by the other colour peeking out from behind the top coloured cardstock:-


The red bold lines depict what area will be "super cut" :-) so that the colour behind will peek through.  Hope this is what you were asking about.  :-)

Latest Cricut Cartridge CheckList

Hiya.  Here's my latest Cricut Cartridge Checklist:-



For those of you who aren't familiar w/ my CheckList, here's a pic of it:


I created this Cricut Cartridge CheckList to help you keep track of the cartridges you have. I have also included areas whereby you can keep track of which ones you have registered and/or entered into the Reward Program. I also have other columns that pertain to things I was keeping track of w/ my Gypsy and my IPod, which I'd like to keep on there, for those who were also previously utilizing it.   

The “Linked” column pertains to the Cricut Craftroom or Cricut Design Space, for those that have an Explore. 
 (before, it was for the Gypsy)

I have a separate category (worksheet) entitled "Universal Overlay Cartridges", which are strictly for the newer smaller size cartridges.

Please note:- This CheckList does not include “digital” cartridges/images. Only physical cartridges are included on this List. 

My CheckList consists of 7 different tabs in the Excel Spreadsheet (Workbook):-

• Cricut Cartridges
• Cricut Fonts 
• Cricut Events
• Cricut Imagine
• Cricut Lite 
• Cricut Projects
• Universal Overlay Cartridges

After you download the CheckList, you can choose to print each sheet or just individual ones. 
 

All of the cartridges have “links” to their shopping page on the Cricut website. This means, if you click on a cartridge name, on the List, it will automatically take you to the Cricut.com page that the cartridge is on, whereby you will find more details about the cartridge(s).

If you happen to notice any cartridges that are missing from my CheckList(s), please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks! 
 
And, enjoy!!!!

Latest Cricut Cartridge CheckList

Firstly, for my “regulars”, I am so very sorry that it took me so long to update my Cricut Cartridge CheckList.  Life totally got in the way for me and this entire year has been complete turmoil. If it wasn’t one thing, it was another.  Health issues were a major stumbling block. [sad] Things are slowly getting back to normal so I decided to concentrate on doing the update. [biggrin]

For those “newbies” to the Cricut world.  I created a Cricut Cartridge CheckList to help you keep track of the cartridges you have.  I have also included areas whereby you can keep track of which ones you have registered and/or entered into the Reward Program.  I also have other columns that pertain to things I was keeping track of w/ my Gypsy and my IPod, which I'd like to keep on there, for those who were previously utilizing it. [smile]

I have since changed the “Linked” column to pertain to the Cricut Craftroom or Cricut Design Space, for those that have an Explore. [biggrin]  (before, it was for the Gypsy)

I have also added a separate category (worksheet) entitled "Universal Overlay Cartridges".

Please note:-  This CheckList does not include “digital” cartridges/images.  Only physical cartridges are included on this List.

My CheckList consists of 6 different tabs in the Excel Spreadsheet (Workbook):-

Cricut Cartridges
Cricut Events
Cricut Imagine
Cricut Lite
Cricut Projects
Universal Overlay Cartridges

After you download the CheckList, you can choose to print each sheet or just individual ones. [smile]

All of the cartridges have “links” to their shopping page on the Cricut website.  This means, if you click on a cartridge name, on the List, it will automatically take you to the Cricut.com page that the cartridge is on, whereby you will find more details about the cartridge(s).

Here is where you can download this CheckList:-


If you happen to notice any cartridges that are missing from my CheckList(s), please do not hesitate to contact me.  Thanks! [biggrin]

Enjoy!!!! [biggrin]

p.s.  Here is what my CheckList looks like:-

It is with great sadness that I write this post.  Father's Day is just around the corner but I won't be able to make a Father's Day card for my sweet FIL anymore, because I just lost him.  :-(  This is one I made him before, and he loved it. :-)

RIP, sweet Ron.  I miss you!!!!  I miss talking to you about Elvis.  I miss your chuckle.  I just plain miss you, period.  I'll see you at your service, on Sunday.  :-(



Tools/Items:-
Cricut Imagine
Cricut Cartridge – Everyday Paper Dolls
Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page – Quilted
Glue – regular; ATG; Zig Two Way
Cardstock – patterned; white (for the Imagine)
Corner rounder
Popdots
Baker’s Twine – fishing line, fish basket handle
Stampin’ Up Ink – Creamy Caramel
Brad – for closure on fish basket
Created totally on the Cricut Imagine, floodfilling the layers using RGB codes. Inked all the edges and parts of the layers to allow the cut lines to show thru. Used the border punch on the inside design edge and the corner punch on the sentiment. Sentiments were computer-generated.

Melody's 5000 subbie contest

Hiya!  You gotta check this one out.  Melody Lane of Melody Lane Designs is running a contest, whereby she's asking her subbies to send her a banner with the letters:-  CREATE.  Only, she's just asking for one letter on one banner.  However, you can enter as many times as you wish and send a few or all of the letters.  She's wanting the word, CREATE so she can put it on her wall.  She'll be making a choice of each of the letters and whichever one she chooses, the entrant will win an awesome prize.  

I designed a "T" for her.  Here it is:-



Please wish me luck that she likes and chooses my "T".  J

Cricut Circle Challenge #9

1.       Create a card or a LO, stamp, as well as emboss.... but use only 3 colour cardstocks.....any three colours and include a dressform on it.  
Used my Cricut Imagine to create this card. The background colours (teal, gold, and gray) are from the Ancestry cart. The dressform is from the French Manor cart. The spool of thread is from the Happily Ever After cart. Added some yarn on the spool. The stitching on my background “quilt” is from a Daisy D runner. The sentiment was computer-generated and I used the RGB codes of the teal and gold colours on the Ancestry cart. to mimic the colours.

I printed/cut 4 scallop circles, floodfilled with different designs (2 were the same:- grey) and then cut them apart to make 4 pie shapes. Glued them together, to form one circle. Then added my faux stitching, to make it look like a quilt. 






Cricut Circle Challenge #8

1.      Take one Cricut layer and make it a plus.


Here's my spin on it:-

. . . a "Thinking of You" card I made for a friend. Betcha think the blue is showing thru the butterfly, eh? 
 Nope! But I did use double-sided cardstock.  



Only I flipped the butterfly on both the card and envelope, to show the opposite side colour.  You can see it better in this pic.  


Then, I covered up the inside butterfly w/ a "fluttering by" saying:-



Cricut Circle Challenge #7

1.      Create a Christmas Tradition themed layout. You must use a minimum of 2 Cricut cartridges & at least 1 cartridge must not be a Christmas/Winter cartridge. 

Here's my LO:-



Santa's sleigh -- Imagine Snow Angel (Christmas cart.) 
 
Reindeer -- Create a Critter (
non-Christmas cart.)  

Santa's Littlest Reindeer was created in CCR, using the Songbird (another 
non-Christmas) cart. and manipulated to sit willy nilly, and cut w/ my Cricut Mini. 
The b/g paper has raised glittered snowflakes all over it. 
 
Reindeers' heads only and sleigh are pop-dotted. 


The "littlest reindeer" is referring to non other than li'l Bailey!!! 



Cricut Circle Challenge #6

1.      Use any image from your NEWEST or any UNUSED Cricut purchase to create a new card, layout or 3D project of your choice.

I had just found out that a friend had Breast Cancer, so I made her this card. I had an Imagine cartridge that I didn't think I'd need for a while because of the designs on it (kinda babyish and I don't have any DGC yet), so it just sat there, unopened --- until now! I found the cutest ladybug on it. 

I used Hey Diddle Diddle for the ladybug and Autumn Celebrations for the Cancer ribbon. Her hat is from the Kate's ABC's cart. 
 

Also used the MS ladybug Punch Around the Page. 









Cricut Circle Challenge #5

1.    Make a Halloween or Autumn themed mini-book, any style, any size, and any length you like. Use Black, Orange, Grey, Purple and White colours, some sparkle, and stamping. It could be a brag book, a costume book, autumn colours book, a prank book, a recipe book, anything you like within the theme.

I used each and every colour mentioned: black, grey, purple, orange, and white. Threw in some Cricut green, too. This is a brag book of my li’l Bailey in his Halloween costumes.  J

I mainly used the Horizontal Mini Album on p. 14 but added other pages from other carts.















Cricut Circle Challenge #4

1.    Create a project for Christmas without using any green, red or pure white in the project. [Off whites like a beige can be used.]

Here's my interpretation of a non-Christmasy coloured card.  

Whoever is the recipient of this card and will probably ask: "a 
pink reindeer?????" ---- I'll tell them that "Susan made me do it!!!"  LOL
