Safe travels! And I am SO glad you were able to get the window replaced... now the steps... I have faith in you to get this rig to WDW!

wowsier- i have not visited the forum in a long time.... other vacations than Disney got in the way.... (yellowstone & a cruise) but this summer we are Disney bound! And I will be contacting you regarding your files... .they look awesome. I just have a Cameo, and LOVE cutting disney stuff.

Love this! We went on the Behind the Seed tour many YEARS ago, and they handled out papers to build your own and info on where to get more info and materials. Wonder if I still have that info? Hmmmmm.... I will need to do a search this weekend.

On FB there is a movement to boycott provo craft, the makers of the Cricut. Just seach for the page. There are over 1600 supporters. Many are continuing to use their current Cricuts until they die, but when a replacement or upgrade is needed, they will not be buying from Provo Craft.

You do not have to have Internet access to use the software. You download the software, then utilize it, or they will send you a CD if you wish. (I don't think that is necessary tho). Any updates to the software can be done by a download online.... they will not send you a new CD with each update. I use SCAL on my laptop. There is a facebook page to "boycott Provo Craft", you can search for what I have in quotes and it will come up. I will continue to use what PC items I currently have, but when I need to replace my E, it will be with a different cutter.

I used to use Creative Memory Albums, but they were so stinkin' expensive. For my last few albums, I have used We R Memory Keepers 3-Ring D-style binders. I :rofl2: them! I wasn't sure I was going to love the 3 ring and not have my layouts right next to each other. But I got over that. I use the "hybrid" scrapbooking inserts. The We R Memory page refills have true 12x12 refills, or you can use the other pages too, such as 6- 4x6 photos on a sheet, or others too. And the hybrid pages come in 12 different layouts, plus the full page. I LOVE this system, because sometimes I don't want to do a w

Ah, thanks Cheryl, for wanting to see some of my pages.... I will try my best to get some photos uploaded soon, just do not know when.

SCAL will let you cut any font already on your computer. And you can shadow any font too. Also, you can cut most any image you find on line, with a slight learning curve, you could do any paper piecing you want. the easiest way is to find a coloring book page that you can print out. You can use that coloring page and create a paper piecing that way. And I love your papges. I like that 2009. I will need to take photos and upload my pages from the last few weekends (tho on those pages I did mainly cartridge cutouts because I had access to a TON of carts at the crop). But I can show you some

This weekend's crop let me try out a bunch of carts... I really like the Cricut Lite "Celebrate with Flouish" It can only be purchased from Walmart. (and when I checked online yesterday, it wasn't in stock) It has all the major holiday's covered.

Anyone else planning to scrap this weekend? I will try to post some photos when the weekend is over!

Ah, Kim, you have the expression, I bet you could learn to use SCAL too! The cost of SCAL is about $60, but you NEVER HAVE to buy another Cartridge again! Any font you have on your computer you can cut. Most any image you can cut. You can download a trial of SCAL, and I think it is active for 10 days, and you can cut whatever, BUT it will put three cuts right across the middle of your image or font.... that is their "watermark"... so you can see it will cut your image, but the trial will make it useless. check out this link for things cut with either SCAL or MTC: www.svgcuts.com They have a

yes inkscape is free. I learned inkscape from playing around with a dingbat (which is a "font" but instead of letters, there are pictures for each key) But once you get the hang if it, it will all click, and then it is the sky is the limit. Here is my standard answer when folks want to know about inkscape an want to know how to use it with scal. I use inkscape version 0.46 because of some quirky things with the newer versions. http://www.versiondownload.com/inkscape/0.46 I learned from this site for a full tutorial from start to finish using a bingbat. And there are A LOT of pictures, no

I use SCAL, and never had a need or desire to check out MTC. But, both are similar and of course there is a learning curve for both. And I liked the challenge of learning the software. so for me it was fit. :shh: I do not do much "designing" in SCAL, but I use inkscape to design. To design with SCAL, you would import the image, then trace it. then the image is in scal and is a scal file. You do the same type of thing with inkscape, but it gives me more control to create a cleaner end product. Inkscape creates svg files. You can import the svg files into scal. If you find an svg file, tho

I scrapbook! I have an expression but don't use many cartridges because I use the SCAL software and cut my own images and fonts. I will be scrapping this weekend and the following weekend too. The second weekend is a girls weekend. I am behind in my scrap, like all good scrapbookers. I will be working on 2009 photos... they were printed a few weeks ago in anticipation of this upcoming weekends. I also just printed a few select photos of 2010, so I could start those too (and get the free shipping since I had a few photos of 2009 that didn't get printed the first time around) If anyone needs to

We went to Miller's Ale House? Is this the same place? We really liked MAH, it was on I-drive.
