Challenge 2...its on the way!!

Our choice of carts this week is Create a Critter, Rock Princess, Home Decor, Cutting UP and Graphically Speaking. We can use any or all of these.
I am half way through my project, need hubby or son to cut some wood for me and then can complete it!

Cutting with chipboard

I have begun to play with some cuts that will require using chipboard.
I sourced this on the cricutlovers messageboard and found it very informative.
I recommend this messageboard. It is very helpfull and friendly.

Challenge 1 for cricuting in oz...

Thanks to Mandy at scrappygolucky.com.au our facebook group cricuting in oz have started a weekly challenge to use set cricut cartridges. The aim is to get using those carts that we have had for ages and not used much. Its wonderfull. The only cartridge I had of the five we could use was sweet treats. I was so pleased with the end product and I love this cartridge but have hardly used it!

The treat bag contains gorgeous chocolates wrapped in paper with angels on it!!

Someone is going to be happy to receive this very soon..it will be in the mail on Monday!!

I cant wait to make more now!

I am still working on this weeks challenge on cricuting in oz....almost finished.
But...in the meantime I discovered a quick neat little way to trim bow ends...

See pic below...its simply two blings back to back with the string end sandwiched between...just another way of adding some bling without over doing it....

HI Everyone, just wanted to share my find from the Myers christmas decoration sale..these were 75% off so about $1.50 or so each bunch and I think there is great potential for use with cricut crafts.

I think they are so cute..little mushrooms...
They are on wire stems and can be taken apart

New Aussie craft blog group!

We are setting up a group of any interested Aussie bloggers who utilise cricut that would like to be listed and linked together in one area.
If so please leave a comment or email me with your website etc and I will arrange the link for you.

Best wishes for the New Year

Cricut sync....
I just love cricut craftroom and have had no major issues with it, however I have just had to remove and rload to overcome an error...it did not take long and is working fine now.
What I am having issues with is a bridge error with cricut sync so actively trying to resolve this. Have done the steps of altering the virus protection softrware by making an exception for the program however still continue to have issues. I am wondering if it is to do with dates.
Would appreciate any feedback.
