June 7 Monthly Project Class

Can you believe it is time to be planning the June class? Whoa.. Well, we will have at least a Father's Day card and perhaps a guy's birthday card or 2 providing all cards can be completed during class. I was thinking it would be fun to create a pop up type card for at least 1 of the cards. What do you think? There is a new seasonal Fathers Day cart but I haven't seen it at the store yet. Ideas are beginning to formulate so stay tuned.

Update as of 5/11/2011:
The projects are created and posted in the store. We are making a 1pg Father layout plus and Father's Day card using the following carts: Designer Calendar, "Just Because" Cards, Storybook and your favorite Font cartridge - I used Hannah Montana. I will also offer a BONUS project - a pop up card. It's all about the boys this month. Hope you like these projects. I am posting a sneak peak of the pop up BONUS card. Look forward to seeing you in store or in class.

Update as of 9/17/2011:

Since I can now update blogger I will post the project pictures.  Unfortunately we did not have sufficient students to run this class.

April 2011 Upcoming Project

Just wanted to give you the latest plans for the April 5 Cricut Monthly Project class. There will a 2 page layout and my hope is everyone can leave with a finished project. I know, I know this is something new for me. We will be using the following cartridges: Everyday Paperdolls, Designer Calendar, and Storybook. As requested by previous students, I am repeating some of the cartridges used in prior classes. Most of the paper I am using for the 2 page layout is from K & Co Super Paper Pad, which has 360 sheets with a wide range of colors and patterns. I hope this is helpful in your future planning. I did have the layout available for viewing at the March 1 Cricut Project class. The project sample will be on display during the March 12 Open House at the store. Also, the Cricut classes will be 50% off the class fees on March 12 and April 9. Looking forward to seeing you in class or store. Stay well everyone.

Update: April 14, 2011

The project pictures are now up! I used my new Nikon S6000 and successfully transferred pics to my new laptop with Windows 7. Ok I have been behind times with my OS, and still haven't graduated to a Digital SLR, but I am moving in the right direction. There are 2 views of this layout, one background was made with the K & Co Super Pad and the polka dot was with open stock paper from the store. It was a fun class and I think everyone finished their layout cuts. Looking forward to seeing everyone in store or in class. Hope you are all enjoying this spring. The weather here is finally in the 50s.

January 2011 Cricut Project

Yes, the project is done. I do have to write up the instructions. This was a project that went together without any fussing. I really enjoyed creating it. Fingers crossed that it will appeal to others and there will be enough students to run the class. We will go green and will create our own chipboard PLUS do some multi cutting. Hope you are able to join me for class on January 4. I will post some pictures just to get your creative juices flowing. We are using Designer Calendar and Cindy Loo cartridges. Let's start the New Year off right and do some Cricuting!!!
