I went to Michael’s first thing Sunday to get the Lyrical Letters cricut cartridge since they have cricut cartridges on sale this week.  I made my first word book with this cartridge and I am soooo frustrated.  I did not think that the font update for Design Studio changed anything but my DS is acting up.  I can not copy and paste a letter and then try and hide the contour.  I changed the order of pages and when I save the cut file and open it again the pages are back the way they were before I saved them.  I had to save the book with a different name, then open and correct the page order and then save it again before the changes stayed.  I made the book using the square from the Plantin School cartridge and when I went to cut the book I would not cut the pages with the letters welded to the square.  I gave up and made the book again with the Storybook cricut cartridge and Lyrical Letters.  It cut fine so I have no idea what the problem was.  I love how it turned out.

I was able to get everything to stay on this cut file except the center of the A page.  You will have to right click on the center of the A and hide the contour in order to cut the page properly.  I tried to cover it with a rectangle and weld it to the page but it would not work no matter what I tried, oddly the rectangle a the bottom of the page worked fine.  If there is anyone that knows the secret or a trick to this please let me know.  I would really appreciate it.

I ordered Hannah Montana and Sponge Bob from www.ohmycrafts.com on Sunday.  I was a little bummed, first I was busy with the kids and by the time I got them down for the night on Sunday and did what I needed to do, I realized I forgot to order the cartridges.  I had meant to do it on Saturday but I kept debating about ordering some other things.  I ran down at 11:45 p.m. to order the cartridge with the 15% discount code and it had already expired.  I found a 10% code on google search so it did not end up so bad.  I got an e-mail today that they are back ordered on Sponge Bob, with any luck though I should have Hannah Montana by the end of the week.  I can’t wait to get it and make something with it.  I have been neglecting my cricut cartridges lately but I plan on dusting them off and putting them to work in the next couple of weeks.  My son is going to be turning one at the end of August and I really need to start the birthday invitations now.
