Provocraft just announced 4 new cartridges to be released in mid March. I am thinking that I *must* have them all. Too cute! If you own the Gypsy or Cricut Design Studio you can start designing with these carts now and be ready to cut when they are released.
You’ll always have ideas for cards with this cartridge! The “Just Because” Cards cartridge is filled with whimsical images and phrases that are suitable for everyday use. From farm animals to food to flowers, this cartridge is filled with handy images that are perfect for cards. It contains 40 cards with layers and 10 envelopes, and includes cuts for phrases, stickers, and stencils!
Get back to nature with this cheery cartridge! The Give a Hoot cartridge is filled with nature-related images and phrases, and the borders and charms are perfect for a variety of projects. Use the owls, acorns, flowers, and foxes for scrapbooks, cards, home décor, and more!
Pick the perfect fruit for your scrapbooks, cards, and home décor! This gorgeous cartridge is filled with lovingly rendered images of a wide assortment of fruits like apples, pears, mangos, and kumquats. You’ll love the card, label, lid, and tag features that will enable you to make the most of this fruit-themed cartridge.
Get ready to celebrate the beautiful things in life! The Straight from the Nest cartridge is filled with birds, butterflies, flowers, cupcakes, branches, swirls, and more. Use these darling images on invitations, home décor, scrapbooks, or whatever else catches your imagination. This cartridge is available exclusively from HSN this March!
And finally….. Serenade will be available for purchase this April! Woo HOO!

Here is a preview of my latest project I have been working on. Beautiful little gift box filled with luxurious bath salt. I have not decided who I am going to give it to yet.. maybe my mom or sister. 
I made the template, paper design and digi stamp which will all be released very soon. I love the paper it is so elegant!
So excited! Yesterday my replacement Gypsy arrived on my doorstep.  Last night I was already busy working on some new projects and catching up on lost gypsy time. lol Ordered the new Once Upon A Princess cartridge a couple days ago and it just looks so darned CUTE!! I can not wait to play.
Well, that’s it for now hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the super bowl. Off to go plan a yummy Super Bowl fiesta.

Current Mood: Playful I have to postpone the gypsy file promised earlier as my gypsy died a couple days after my post. Sent it back to Provo Craft and waiting very impatiently for a replacement.
Added a really cute paper pack to the shoppe. These were so much fun to make and I am having a blast creating with them. Strawberries Forever is a super cute collection of strawberry patterned papers in a fun array of colors. Strawberries Forever contains 15 sheets of digital paper and prints beautifully. Great for creating cards, invites, tags, bags, and scrapbook pages. Add them to your paper collection and start crafting with them today!
This paper pack is texture free to allow for maximum clean, printing quality. Print on high quality white cardstock or premium presentation paper for best results.

So, I got my new cartridges and have been playing with my gypsy like CRAZY! The first new cartridge I explored was “Forever Young”. I was so excited to get this cartridge but a little disappointed with all the duplicate images. For example, there are really only 4 different purses and all the others are just the same with other images cut out of them. I would have preferred to have a wide selection of purses and decorate my own bags. There are also alot of other duplicate shapes throughout the cartridge as well. On a positive note, there are still some really cute images on this cartridge that makes it fun and useful.
My mom got Russ and I one of those Keurig single cup coffee makers for christmas. It is awesome! Ventured out to a few stores today and could only find one kind of coffee for it.. perhaps the craze has not caught on yet. lol Anyways, I came home and looked online at the Keurig site and oh my gosh do they have a selection! All sorts of yummy K-Cups to try. Butter Toffee, Mudslide, Swiss Chocolate Almond, Chocolate Glazed Donut, Vanilla Bean, Blueberry, Pecan and TONS more. Think I am going to try the Cinnamon Pastry flavor.

So stoked! My Gypsy arrived a couple days ago and I am having a blast creating with it. Got all my cartridges linked up except for George. Apparently with the software version 1.55 there is a bug that will not let you link George. I called tech support and they said it should be fixed with the next update in two weeks. I am not always the most patient person in the world.  I was also able to pick up several of the new cartridges which should be arriving today. So much fab stuff lately, it is getting hard to keep up. I still need to go pick up a stylus and protective case.
Anyways, be looking for some really fun and cute, cutting files for design studio and gypsy.
Added some more Valentine goodness to the shoppe today. My Heart is a fun and pretty collection of heart papers in stunning valentine themed colors. My Heart contains 21 sheets of digital paper and prints beautifully. Add them to your paper collection and start crafting with them today!
This paper pack is texture free to allow for maximum clean, printing quality. Print on high quality white cardstock or premium presentation paper for best results.
Here is a picture of a few projects I was working on that shows My Heart paper pack in use. I printed them out on white cardstock and had a blast creating with them… they print out beautifully!! The little box will be offered to gypsy and design studio owners for free within the week.

Here is a cute little Rudolph cutting file I created for those of you with cutting machines. I even made this file compatible with the new “Makes the Cut” software that works with the Cricut machine! I absolutley love this new program however I do the majority of my work on my mac so I am hoping they will eventually come out with a mac version. I’m not a big laptop person.. especially since I use my hubby’s laptop which is about to blow up by the sounds of it. lol
