6 New Cricut Cartridges Announced Yesterday

New Classes Added

Due to the popularity of the 3-d ornament class and the cards with movement class I have added another time slot. See 2 posts below for additional times and samples

My New Imagine Arrived

I am thrilled my new machine got here safe and sound. Provo Craft has always been good to me and this time was no different. I sent it back on a Thursday...they called me on Friday to tell me I would see it on Monday and I did. She works perfectly. She still won't read some of the newer cartridges but hopefully that will be worked out soon.

There will be an update for the Imagine and the Gypsy on Oct. 18th Facebook said and below is what it will include.


1. Edge to Edge printing (Imagine only update)- Full bleed (may leave a small boarder on your paper depending on how well it is aligned)- Overspray: this will print just beyond the edge of the paper leaving a bit of ink on your mat which can easily be rinsed out with warm water – this assures a full bleed.PHASE 1 Gypsy/Imagine Compatibility1. Allows you to cut your classic Cricut Cartridges with Cricut Imagine using Gypsy (no printing using Gypsy, yet)2. Cricut Imagine and Gypsy bug fixes: this will be standard with most upgrades to ensure you have the best experience with your machines.3. No special Gypsy design features with Imagine content (like welding, stretching, etc.), just yet.More information will be released about future updates (release dates and update details) when appropriate.


I will not do the update right away. I will wait a bit and see if any unknown glitches occur.

New Projects Posted at the store

Hi everyone. Well the next chapter in my Imagine saga is .....she got shipped back today and my replacement should be here Friday. Now before you gasp, I had to send back my first original baby bug way back when for a glitch in it's system. I am glad I stayed positive and kept an open mind. Can you imagine where my crafting would be if I gave up then? I did not give in then and I won't now. I love my bugs and my new projects will show you how much.

I as usual forgot to take pictures before taking them to the store to post so I will get them up soon. But here are the dates and class times.

November 13, 2010 10-1 & Just added 5:30-9 Cricut Holiday cards with movement
November 13, 2010 2:30-5:30 Cricut Thanksgiving Layout

See store for availability. See you soon!

Imagine Update needed

I hope they do the update soon to the Imagine. I don't know what I was thinking.....it is like a Gypsy in a way. Since the new Holiday Limited Carts juat came out the Imagine does not read them yet. I was all excited for an idea I had with the new Christmas card cart and the Imagine more cart. I plugged both carts in the other day and boom. Nothing it says I need to update. So I am alittle bummed while I wait to try out my idea and the fact that new carts have to be added to the machine itself to work....so I would not choose this as my only cricut. If you have another cricut don't let it go to just buy the Imagine. Right now their ae cartridge limitations. That being said I do love it and have no regrets buying it. I was just caught by surprise.

Cricut "Imagine" Very cool indeed.

I am so excited! My new Cricut Imagine was delivered late Friday and I was working both Friday eve and all day Saturday so I had to wait to play. After getting home last night around 9, I decieded to crack open the box (thanks Stacey for helping to hold the box) and not wait until morning. I am so glad I did. What a cool machine!!! It took me about 20 minutes to set her up and get her updated, then I got to play. I just goofed around with a couple of quick little projects just to get the feel for it. It was pretty easy and they came out great. Love the touch screen. My Bazzill cs I ordeded will not be here til Monday but I had some CTMH 12x12 daisy white cs that worked beautifuly on my cuts.

This machine I tell you is huge and heavy. Not one you will bring with you to class. Too heavy to be portable. We will learn together on the store machine when it arrives for demoing.
