Coming Soon to a Cricut Near You.....

Hi All! Just got back from the Close To My Heart convention in (mostly) sunny Orlando, Florida. (Disney might control the bug population in its parks, but it can't control the weather....yet...) What a fun time we had! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting new friends, especially Rose Blossoms Brenda Rose and Marg Van Patten, and Pacemaker Karen Pedersen. (Kindred spirits to be sure!)

Second only to meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones, the best part of convention is getting the scoop on all the new products that will be available in the new Idea Book (which you, dear reader, can pick up August 1st)!  Here is the first of my 2 hands-down favorites (I tried to come up with just one, but you know how it is...):

That's right, it's a new Cricut cartridge bundle! WOO HOO!!!! This new cartridge is called Artbooking and is chock full of page overlays and mini albums. That's right. Mini albums. Start to finish! Oh my Cricut fans, you will LOVE this cartridge! The keys are linked so that ALL of the elements are cut to perfect proportions and you never need to change the size until the layout (or mini) is finished. Each key is an entire layout waiting to happen. (All you Rose Blossom Garden Challenge players, I think it's safe to say we'll be seeing this cartridge in a few upcoming challenges....)

But this isn't just a cartridge...it's a BUNDLE! So you also receive 3 D-size stamp sets and coordinating dimensional elements (we have 3 new styles...think polaroids, frames and funky arrows). A cut, a stamp, a little glue and BAM! you have a perfect little chipboard embellishment.

Oh the fun we will have with this fabulous bundle!

It will be available for you to buy on August 1st for $99. In the meantime, stay tuned for a few more sneak peeks and a mini or two!
