Cricut for Beginners!

Good morning my Creative friends! I hope all of you had a FABULOUS weekend! I had my bi-monthly scrapbook class & my girls & I had a FABULOUS time, like always! If you would like to see pics from my class, you can see them HERE! If you missed my ustream on Friday, I announced the 4 lucky winners AND I announced my very 1st Design Team!! I will have a full post on that on Wednesday!
For today, I wanted to share with you this AMAZING DVD called "Cricut for Beginners"! All I have to say is "WOW"! If you JUST got a cricut & if you are like "Me" & like to have a visual on how to use it, this is the PERFECT DVD for You!!! The talented Maria & Natalie teach you how to use your cricut in 18 easy-to-follow lessons! In my opinion, they teach EVERY feature to perfection! There are several amazing projects "YOU" can re-create! The BEST part about this DVD is that it includes Design Studio AND Gyspy cut files and "SUPPLIES" to make the project for your first lesson! Isn't that FANTASTIC!

With that said, I have 2 copies of "Cricut For Beginners" to giveaway to 2 LUCKY viewers!

    Hi Emma! Thanks for doing a giveaway! This one looks cool! I love my Cricut so so much I've had it for several years but just recently really started using it when I got my Gypsy! The two of them make my life so much easier and there is so much to do with them!!! I remember when I used to cut everything with my sizzix, the dies and everything took up so much space, it was crazy! Now I don't know what I ever did without my Cricut!!! I love your site too always learning new stuff! Thanks so much! :-)

    To begin with i shattered my left leg in july of 2007. I wasn't able to get out of the house. Some one had to help me 24/7. My husband did. He did everything for me. Such a good guy. It took 18 months for me to really be upright again and walking as good as i do now. But i still have bad days. But during that time he bought me my first Cricut. Kept my mind off of all the things i used to do. Like even driving my self to a store for a diet coke. I got good at using the cricut. But not to its potential. Then he bought me my expression. I love it and i love the baby bug. Crafting made me able to stand having to stay home easier for me. He then bought me my Gypsy and then the imagine. Now i have so much fun crafting and i have all my new blogger friends. When the computer started failing he went out and bought me this new computer. If i didn't have the cricut to keep mine mind off things I don't know if i could have stood it. So I love my Cricuts and I love my man, and I love my Blogger Friends. Thanks for the chance to win.

    Hello Emma,

    I love visiting your blog. I visit it pretty much everyday. I always look forward to your posts. I bought my cricut a couple years ago. I wasn't sure what to do at first, but it came with a DVD to give me some ideas on what I was able to do with it. Since having it, I haven't done too many things with it as college classes were keeping me busy. I decided to take a break from school and want to invest that time in to crafting more. My cricut has given me the opportunity to do things that would normally take a person hours to do by hand. I enjoy making greeting cards, invitations and scrapbook pages for my loved ones. As always thanks for sharing and your an inspiration to us all.

    I am SO excited about this giveaway!!!! I have had my cricut for two years this past Christmas & I love it.... but I know I could do so much more with it if I actually knew what I was doing! Then, my darling husband got me a gypsy for our anniversary last year, and I have not even used it.... I'm completely lost when it comes to the Gypsy!

    Thank you so much for sharing & the chance to win!!

    I know I will love my Cricut once I sit down and play with it. I see being able to make cards and use it for my scrapbooking. I think this DVD is just what I need to make me comfortable using my Cricut.

    What a great giveaway. I love my Cricut because it gives me a wide variety of ways to add to my layouts, mini albums and my cards. I love the fact that I can cut thin chipboard into a shape and cut the paper the same shape.

    Thanks for the chance to win a great prize. Happy New Year.

    Hi Emma... the reason that I love my bug SO much is that I can use it for my classroom. I teach Kindergarten. I use the bug to make bulliten boards, craft projects for my kids to make in the art center and to label centers. And honestly a WHOLE lot more!

    I have to say that i have fallen in love with your Retro challenge. I seem to collect more than I use- I really think it is a time issue. But your challenges are pushing me to actually USE what I have... THANK YOU!

I'm amazed at the things it can do and fell in love with it the first time it was advertised!! It also helps me with time - I can get my cards done so much faster so I can get them in the mail for Operation Write Home. You can't go wrong with a Cricut!!

    I would give anything to win this giveaway BECAUSE I;ve had my baby and expressions cricut since last Christmas but still can't figure it out. I have over 100 cartridges, DS, and this Christmas got the Gypsy, and the Imagine but don't know how to use any of them and have talked about getting rid of all of it but my husband refuses to let me. He keeps telling me that once I learn to use it properly that I'm gonna love it! So winning this give away would be the answer to my dreams and his too! Thanks for the chance. This is the hobby I chose when I became permanently disabled and wanted to start card making and scrapbooking but with money being very limited I have had to save every extra penny to get what I have and join a warehouse group to get the prices I got. Otherwise I don't have much and I'd love to win the set you're giving away so I'd atleast know what I'm doing but even if I don't win it, PLEASE tell me how I could get one of them. I have to have it whether it is by winning it or buying it! So please contact me either way!!!

    Sounds like a great dvd! I can't begin to tell you all the reasons I love my cricut. Guess the big thing is that it got me creating cards & projects again. I used to stamp & scrapbook along time ago, but had stopped. Guess I was just burnt out & had to move on to some thing new (lots of different crafts), but then I kept seeing the infomercials & I had to have it. Then, somehow I found all the bloggers like you that share their projects & give me so much inspiration! Thanks for a chance at your generous giveaway!
