Hola Wendy,
ReplyDeleteAwesome, pocket book! I want to thank you for your commits and your tutorials. Wendy, I have a cricut, but I don't have the computer adapter. Its also, the smail cricut. I purchase it and only used it twice. I got discouraged because I didn't know anything about cutting and a lot of my cuts were off line. I'm thinking of getting the adapter and the Sure Cuts a lot, and see if I am able to take it out of the box and create. Plus, the cartridges are expensive, and they have copyrights issues, makes it hard to be creative. I think that I will go with the adapter, and see how far I can go with it. Anyway, back to your creations, great color combinations. How do you manage to come up with these lovely ideas? Its very generous of you to also attach a tutorial. Keep them coming! TFS, Mima
Damn! misse dit again! gonna have to put myself a reminder on to come and join you!
