The Cricut Design Studio : A simple way to learn about the cricut and Design Studio software
Did you get a new cricut for Christmas? Visit lots of blogs and wonder how these ladies create all those great projects and you are just trying to figure out how to turn yours on?
Now, the Cricut brand has made the machine even more exciting and creative with the Cricut Design Studio Software. This software takes the Cricut machine to soaring levels of creativity. The software allows you to hook your Cricut to your home computer and create countless new designs and shapes for the machine to cut.
The software includes a searchable database of every letter, shape and number in the whole Cricut Cartridge library, putting thousands of designs at your fingertips. And, Cricut offers online updates to continually add to the library collection. Also, with the tools included, you can have total control over your Cricut, allowing you to meld (called welding) letters into one word, as well as to format and shape items on a virtual cutting mat before your machine even begins its work.
A few things to remember about the Cricut Design Studio Software:
1. Though the software allows you to view and design with any cartridge out there, you can only use the machine with the cartridges you actually have. The good thing is that designing different items on the computer will give you a better idea of what cartridges you would like to purchase next. And, you can save your designs for later use.
2. Having a off day creativity-wise? Need some new inspiration? Check out the Cricut message boards or search the internet to view and download the cool and creative files that other Cricut Design Studio users have created. This is a neat way to add different styles to your own designs, but to also get new and fresh inspiration.
3. You can create a design using more than one cartridge; you will just need to have all the cartridges available when you are ready to cut.
4. You can still create different layers for your designs, like shadows and other elements. The key is to create each element on another layer in the design studio software so that your Cricut machine will know to cut these layers separately and on the paper of your choice.
The Cricut Design Studio Software is a great tool but has a major downside: It Doesn't Come With A Comprehensive Manual.
Many cricut design studio fans have had a long learning curve trying to understand the software. Luckily, you don't have to go through the same hardship. A handy guide to Design Studio is now available online, it's called "Taming The Green Bug". Taming The Green Bug is a step-by-step manual that covers how to use all the features of design studio. Using it will unleash all of your creative ideas and expand the Cricut's abilities to whole new levels.

Top 10 goals of 2010
I am back home from my mini-vacation at the boyfriend's place, of course it wasnt as much fun without him there ;) He is still stuck out of the country, on a military mission (
He left on Christmas Eve) Anyway, I had started this layout before I left, but never finished it and now my printer is out of ink. I wanted to finish the layout, so I did it without any pictures. I like to scrapbook my Top 10 goals for the year. I usually don't end up keeping most of them and sometimes, it says the same stuff every year, but... it's nice to wish! This will be the front page of a scrapbook or some sort of art journal, where I will track my goals over the year, or atleast that is the plan. Some of these I know I will keep, some of them, I really have to work at, but I hope to keep them all. I did use MTC to cut my letters. I used basic grey sugar coated scraps for this project, I love the colors, I have all the papers from the collection sitting on my scrap desk so I can play with them some more. I still have to finish two gift scrapbooks, but since the kids are out of town and the boyfriend is out of the country, and I am still recoving from my surgery, I have lots of time to play~

Simple Stories by Memory Works Reveal #3
Here it is...Reveal #3
Hopefully you enjoyed yesterdays reveal - not quite as exciting as the fun kit elements but we had a ton of questions about the page protectors and albums and we wanted to get the info out - in a nut shell the system consists of the Life Documented kit, divided page protectors and the 3 ring album. Next week we'll be showing a fun cardstock pack and basic embellishments that will also be for sale to coordinate with the kit and album!Okay - now that you've got the basics of the system I'm dying to show you 2 new cool element pieces that are included in the kit. Of course I love the entire kit and system, but these elements really some of my favorite - something that really makes the system and kit unique, so fun, so versatile and functional!
The 2x12 strips are perfect for adding a decorative element to the 2x12/4x6 page protectors and the 4x12 title strip can be added to the 4x12/4x6 page protectors as a title...how cool is that!
I LOVE these 6x12 page elements - they're the perfect size for adding long journaling, photos, photo collages, titles, etc. Notice the blue 6x12 - guess what? We sized that so you could nestle a 5x7 vertical photo or a matted 4x6 photo - how cool is that. These fit in the 6x12/4x6 page protectors can can be displayed with vertically or horizontally!
Stay tuned for our reveal tommorrow where we'll highlight our next set of elements...think fun, cute and 4x4!

I need to vent
So.... I had decided last month not to sell Stampin Up anymore, there were several reasons and I decided it was the best decision for me and my family. I also decided, that I would keep my demonstratorship open, so that I could continue to purchase SU at a discount. I still like some of their products and I wanted to continue shopping with them, I just figured I could keep my minimum purchases by buying myself (really what I did anyway, i never really sold that much to begin with) So, several of my blog followers wanted me to keep the SU projects coming, even though I had decided not to sell it anymore. I went to log on to my demo site last night to get some of the pictures for the projects that are upcoming, and wa la... my demonstratorship has been suspended!!! Why, you ask? Because I shared coupons for craft stores on my blog, considered to be competitor coupons, so I have been suspended for not removing them.... What if the coupons were for clay or picture frames or whatever, SU doesnt sell those. On top of that, I have a suspiscion that a blog follower turned me in to SU... SO I have decided that I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING FROIM STAMPIN UP AGAIN!
I still dont feel better, but I am really pissed!
