I had a request for a SUMMER word book using the Plantin Schoolbook cricut cartridge.  Here is the .cut file.  For those Cricut Gypsy owners I have included the .gypsy file in the download as well.

If you are interested in the Summer wordbook in an SVG format I did one last summer.

Thank you for Lori for sharing the information about which cricut cartridges are in the bundle.  My guess that I posted here is correct and the 2 cartridges that are included in the bundle are Plantin Schoolbook and Serenade Solutions cricut cartridge.

Here is the details of the expression bundle for $188.00

I have the scoop on the cricut cartridges that are going to be $30.00 as well.  Here is the list.

1.  Jubilee

2.  Designer’s Calendar

3.  Everyday Paper Dolls

4.  Sweethearts

5.  From My Kitchen

6.  Winter Woodland

7.  A Child’s Year

8.  Ashlyn’s Alphabet

When do you know when you are seriously addicted to your cricut and scrapbooking?  When you tell your 2 year old that you are going shopping and she jumps up and down excitedly yelling that we are going to Micheal’s and Joann’s.  When I pull into the parking lot of Micheal’s I get a serious….momma.. I hold hand… I want to go to Micheal’s.  If someone were to hear her say it, it would sound like she wants to go see her friend Michael and Joann.  It is so funny and cute and the same time.  I guess I do have to admit I am an addicted.  Yesterday we went to Michaels and they had A Child’s Year cricut cartridge in stock.  They also had Ashlyn’s Alphabet.  It is the first time I have seen them there and they have all cartridges on sale this week $39.99.  I was only going to buy one but don’t you know… I ended up with both.

I love the A Child’s Year Cricut Cartridge.  It has the cutest little fairy.  Here is a picture of one of them.

I thought that font included in this cartridge was really cute as well.  So I played around a little bit in Design Studio tonight and came up with a school word book.  It made it intending to hide the contour on both of the O’s.  DS does not allow me to save the cut file that way so If you don’t want the center of the O’s cut out you will have to hide the contour before you cut the pages.  Also the A Child’s Year cartridge does not have a rectangle on it so I have to use the Plantin Schoolbooks cricut cartridge for the rectangle part.  If you don’t have the Plantin Schoolbooks cartridge and have another cartridge with a rectangle on it I can update the cut file for you.  Just let me know the cartridge that you have.  You can send me an e-mail using the “contact me” form on the right.

I recently made some boxes in inkscape to be cut in Sure Cuts A Lot.  I decided to try and create them in a cut file so I used the Plantin Schoolbook cricut cartridge only.  The large box is  6×6 and 2.50 inches deep. The smaller one is designed to hold A2 size cards and it is 4.75 by 5.75 and 1 inch deep.  The score guide is included in the zip file for download.

I wanted to make a birthday card for my son so I made this.  I was going to use some toys from the new arrival cricut cartridge for the center of the circles but I decided to use foam dimensional stickers from Jolee instead.  It is an a2 size card made from the plantin schoolbooks cricut cartridges.

I think the close up of the card was to close so I am uploading another picture.

I thought that I would upload the cut file if anyone would like it.  I made 2 versions.  One for plantin schoolbooks and the other using only the george cartridge.  Both are included in the same zip file.  Score the card at 4.25 inches.

I think that this card can be used for a lot of different things.  I have some cute Jolee dimensional baby stickers that would be awesome as well.  The little booties and stuff fit perfectly inside the center of the circles.
