HIMCR #95 - Mother's Day!

Happy Saturday!!

This weeks challenge is an easy one: Mother's Day! You can make a card, alter an item, scrapbook about your mother or even being a mother! We all have a mother whether she is still with us here or not, whether we are unofficially adopted by our best friend's mom. We all have someone we can call a mother in our lives. So now is your chance to have a double excuse to make something! Plus, you'll be ready for Mothers Day with time to spare!

You have until Friday, May 3rd to link up your creation to get entered into the monthly drawing this week. When uploading to online galleries please use code HIMCR95.

Gypsy Update!

I'm so uper de duper excited! Provo Craft, Cricut, has now updated the Cricut Craft Room and the Gypsy so that now you can link them together. This basically means that now all your digital cartridges you buy will be on your Gypsy (if I understand it correctly. I don't own any digital cartridges) and all your linked cartridges will be on Cricut Craft Room. This is BIG, no HUGE, news in the Cricut world. If you already have a registered Gypsy you probably already know this but I just had to share this with those of you who have thought about getting a Gypsy but havent The prices have been so low and now with this new update ............

Here's the letter:

Dear Cricut Gypsy™ owner,

Gypsy linking is here! We're happy to announce that you can now upload content from your Cricut Gypsy™ device to your account in the Cricut Craft Room® design software. Here's how:

Make sure you have the latest versions of Cricut Craft Room® and Cricut Sync.

Connect your Cricut Gypsy™ device to your computer and follow the prompts to update the firmware.

Open the latest version of Cricut Craft Room®, agree to the linking Terms and Conditions, and then sync and uplink your cartridges.

That's it! After you link your Cricut Gypsy™ device to your Cricut Craft Room® account, you will be able to access the cartridges on your device in Cricut Craft Room®—and vice-versa!

If you're not familiar with the Cricut Craft Room® design software, now's the time to link your Cricut Gypsy™ device and try it out! Just like your Cricut Gypsy™ device, Cricut Craft Room® lets you drag and drop your images onto the virtual cutting mat design away—size, slant, weld, rotate, flip, or stretch to make your perfect image.

We know that the wait for Gypsy linking has been long—we appreciate your patience and are confident that you will find it worth the wait!

So I've updated Cricut Sync (that's on my computer), then Cricut Craft Room (on my computer. It can be downloaded and is free), and I hadn't updated my Gypsy is a little while so I needed to do that. Then open Cricut Craft Room, click on options and select Link Gypsy! I'll let you know what I think!

It's Raining Winners!

It's raining winners! Hallelujah, it's raining winners!! Amen! I'm going let myself get absolutely soaking wet!

It's raining winners!

I can't believe how behind I am at announcing winners! I think since my husband has been home from Afghanistan I've done the bare minimal. I have also realized even more so how great all of you are! You would think that I would have some impatient emails but you guys know me so well and have been so super supportive. I wish I could give each and everyone of you a giveaway!

I have a lot to announce!

Ready!

The winners are:

HIMCR #91 ------- Shirley from Cottonberry Creations

HIMCR #92 ------ Jo Ann from J. Atterbury Creations

HIMCR #93 ----- Maida from Loving Scrapper 101

Fabulous Day!

This week's challenge is HIMCR #92 - Yellow, Green, & Pink! I finally got some time to play in my craft room. I love my husband being home and you might think that I should have all this extra time to get things done. However the opposite it reality!

There's still some time for you to get a submission done for the challenge!

 

Here's what I came up with:

I'm sending this card to my daughter who is at our church's Missionary Training Center learning to speak Ukranian!

Frame was cut at 2.5" from the Creat A Critter 2 cartridge.

Recipe:
Card Base: SU Old Olive 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" (folded)
