Hello Thursday March 2011

Hello, friends!


Happy 0' Hello Thursday to ya *said in my best Irish accent*! Here we are once again. This is the most wonderful time of the month! I just love sharing the new cartridges with you and know you guys love seeing what the new ones can do.

Joy and I have tirelessly been slaving away making things to show today. We only got them Wednesday afternoon(if you can believe that), so there has been a lot of scramble scramble going on. It has been worth it though because we know you guys look forward to this every month!


First, lets talk about the giveaway! I am giving away a Paper Lace cartridge(one of my favorites!) to one lucky follower. To won this prize you need to leave a comment on this post and be a follower of my blog(email, google reader, or blogger). For more chances, leave a comment on my Friday Hello Thursday post as well. It's that simple! Make sure you check out Joy's giveaway by clicking here ==> Obsessed with Scrapbooking

Now lets talk turkey! This months release has tons of variety. There is something for everyone! There are three full cartridges, three seasonal mini's, and one Cricut Circle exclusive. Two of the full cartridges are just jaw dropping FABULOUS. Also, the mini's are ones that I know people have been asking for, so I know you guys are going to be thrilled!

Today I am showing you the first four and tomorrow I will post the final three. Let's take a look at what I have for you today!!

Damask Designs cannot tell you how much I love this one! The card feature makes cardmaking a snap! This will be something I will use over and over again when I need something elegant quickly!






I used Bo Bunny Double dot paper to make this card.
I cut the card base out at 4" and the damask overlay was cut out at 3 3/4".
This cartridge also includes a tag feature. I cut the yellow tag out at 2" and the white one out at 1 3/4". The stamp is from Verve.
The ribbon is from Papertrey Ink.


Elegant Edges this is another favorite of this release. This is a go to cartridge for nearly everything. It is perfect for scrapbooking and cardmaking. So many awesome shapes, so little time!




I used the 'book' feature to make this card. It was cut at 4 1/2".
The blue scallop was cut at 3 3/4" and the circle was cut out at 3 1/4". The stamps used are Papertrey Ink and My Creative Time(Emma's awesome stamps!)
The paper is from SU! as is the ribbon.
Father's Day Seasonal Mini I know you have all wanted this and here it is! Lots a great images for the man in your life. It is super easy to use and layers nicely!!



The paper is from Close To My Heart. I cut the shield out at 4 1/2".
This is another stamp from My Creative Time.

Everyday Pop Up Cards this cartridge is the Just Because cards pop up version. It is a total must have for those cardmakers out there, but also has some great shapes and word art for the scrapbookers as well!!



The paper is from My Mind's Eye.
I cut the hot air balloon out at 3".
The flag banner is cut out at 1 1/2".
The stamp is from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Don't forget to check back in with me tomorrow to see the last three. Also I will have posts all next week of things made with the new cartridges, so drop by to check that out.

Now it's time to hop on over to Obsessed with Scrapbooking to see what she has made with these cartridges! You know she always rocks it! Click here to check it out ==> Obsessed with Scrapbooking

Have a TOTALLY AWESOME Thursday!

Hey Melanie, I was wondering...do you have any 'inside information' on if Provo Craft will EVER produce a NFL cricut cartridge? I had asked them at the CHA show three years ago and Kathy told me that it's kinda difficult for them to get the licensing rights from BIG organizations like the NFL. I told her that Provo already had DISNEY & SpongeBob rights, why is the NFL so much more difficult? Sheesh, if they ever come out with a NFL cartridge I'd pay TOP dollar for it! If you have any way of passing on my request, will you please do so? PLEASE? I beg of you! Thank you VERY much!
Hugs - Kim @ kimbuckjr@yahoo.com
