Hi Everyone,

Car Decals and Ornamental Iron cartridges are on sale @ cricutmachine.com.  They are exclusive to that site for the time being so if you are looking to get them, I would suggest scooping them up today.  You can click on the picture to go to the cricutmachine.com site.

They also have some other deals going on right now.

Hi Everyone,

I woke up to an e-mail with awesome cricut deals so I wanted to make sure that you are aware of them.  The site is papercraftingpro.com. You can see my prior post about this company here. I am not affiliated with this company and I have NEVER purchased a membership.  I order using the 2 day free trial.  You have to use an e-mail account that you have not used before.  One day I am hoping that they will give out free memberships

The new Birthday Bash and Nifty Fifties cricut cartridges for only $27.00 each!!!!!

There is an awesome deal on the seasonal cartridges as well.  I am trying to hold strong on my promise of not buying anything else for a long long long time but the Trim The Tree cartridge is sooooo gosh darn cute!!!! I really really really want it! For $16.00 it is so hard to say no

They even have deals on the new cricut imagine machine and cartridges.  The pattern cartridges are $30.00 and image cartridges $40.00.  I bought the Snow Angel cartridge when I purchased my imagine. It is so cute and perfect for the holidays.  If  you are like me and have a hard time deciding which cartridge you really want first be sure to check out the handbooks online @ cricut.com They pretty much have most of the handbooks online for you to see.  They recently added all of the imagine handbooks as well.

I am so excited!!! I know that this post is kind of  long already but I recently made a dust cover for my cricut imagine.  Here are a few pictures of it.  I am not much of a sewer yet, I hope to get  better, but I don’t think I did to bad for making my own pattern.  The bug head I digitized myself.  It was from the Store Front cricut cartridge.  The pink fabric was just a test fabric, although I love pink.  I actually bought some pink and chocolate paisley colored fabric to make matching covers for my cricut expression and imagine machine.  I did not want to waste the good fabric in case it did not turn out.  You can’t IMAGINE mys surprise when it worked the first time around.

I get asked over and over about cutting fabric on the cricut.  I have several blog post here on how I do it. Christian has come up with a new way to cut fabric on the cricut, you just have to see this video!  He is so talented

I stopped by Joann’s on the other side of town looking for some Tim Holtz Stickles and when I walked in the door, there staring me in the face saying BUY ME! were the holiday 2010 Sizzix releases (no Tim Holtz sad to say)

These are soooooo cute!!!!!!  I have not seen these online or in stock anywhere yet.  They also had a bunch of Bigz dies (Rudolph) and (Snowman) that come with free coordinating embossing folders.  I did not buy any of those, but they were selling those for $29.99.

Each set of folders comes with a fee coordinating sizzlits die .

They are selling for $15.99 a piece argh!!!!  If anyone knows me though, I rarely ever pay full price.  It just so happened that I was armed with COUPONS!

If you buy this magazine at Joann’s there are (2) 50% and (4) 40% off coupons on the back of it.  The coupons can all be used at the same time!!!!  The magazine is $2.99 and if magazines are not on sale that week, you can even use a 40% to buy the magazine!!!!  The store on the other side of town never carries this magazine, but the smaller Joann’s store near me does.  So when I see them, I usually buy six of them.  They don’t expire until January of 2011.  I have also used the 50% coupons at Michal’s when I bought my Xyron Creative Station and Prisma Colored Pencils.

I think most everyone knows that I got a pink cricut expression!!!  Well CGULL is selling a pink tool kit.  I got it from papercraftingpro.com for $12.50 plus $5.20 shipping.

.

I think that the color is off, because it is EXACTLY the same color pink as the cricut. It almost matched the cricut expression rolling tote that I have and the cricut cartridge tote.

Today is the the start of my vacation!!!!  Yesterday my son turned 2 and we had a small birthday party for him.  His big party is going to be next weekend.  We are spending three nights in Wisconsin Dells this week.  The kids are going to have so much fun  at the waterpark.  They are so excited and keep running around asking if we are on vacation yet.  It is so cute!!

I will try and post a few more files before I go on vacation, if I don’t have a great week!!!!!

I woke up and checked my e-mail this morning to an e-mail from http://cricutmachine.com and they are having a really good sale right now.  All of the new cartridges including Toy Story are $34.95 and FREE SHIPPING!!!!  My kids are OBSESSED with Toy Story right now.  I can not wait to get this cartridge.  My daughter was jumping up and down as I ordered it.

The other day I got an e-mail from them that the gypsy was on sale for $189.00.  That is not unusual, but this Gyspy comes with 6 cartridges and guess what????? All six are an electronic download.

I know at one point they were selling the 4 down-loadable cartridges in a bundle as well for $49.95 and several people have bought it and it does work!  It is no longer on there site but I am POSITIVE that this will not be the last you have heard about this.  There have been rumblings for a long time that cricutmachine.com is owned and operated by Provocraft since the contact information they have listed on there site, and with the BBB are listed on other sites that we KNOW are Provocraft.  I am thinking that this was a test for them to see how the download service would work and maybe, just maybe there will be some more $12.50 cartridges in our future!!!
