What a wonderful day!

Sometimes I have to pinch myself and make sure that I am not day dreaming. This morning I get to go on create and Craft and do a Stampavie show and then I come back to the hotel and spend the day colouring in the new stamps for the February show. It a tough life lol!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you all enjoyed the show this morning. Please don't forget the Cricut shows tomorrow at 12pm, 3pm and 5pm.
If you have any questions I can help with on the machine then please feel free to email in.
Take care

  3. Hi Mel where can I get a new Cricut E2 manual from? I did have a book that came with it but it seems to have gone walkabout! And I'm about to throw the BEEP BEEP BEEP Machine out the BEEP BEEP Window! Any ideas would be very welcome, even if its an online File that I can download like the Gypsy has many thanks. Hope tomorrow goes well for you.

  5. Looking forward to tomorrow's shows! I heard you mention wanting to do more 'making' on the show and hope you get a chance to soon. :)

    Bernie - there are a few videos on the Cricut website http://www.cricut.com/expression2/ that you might find useful. (Basic how to use the machine, features and paper settings.) These might help get you started!

  11. Hallo Mel,
    I love your shows just one question, I have spellbinders and the grand calibur but as yet I have not got a Cricut,I like the look of the Black cricut ,although at the moment I do not have the money until payday a long month this month,and I am tempted but should I get the standard size or go for the 12x12 cutting mat .It is all so confusing and as I am primarily a card maker would the smaller Cricut be adequate.
    Keep inspiring us with your fabulous designs,Happy Craftying Jacqueline

  12. Bernie - if you email mary@bramwellcrafts.co.uk with your address I will send you my manual or ask at CHA for a new one for you.

    Zafira - I would advise you to buy Pick of the week at that price! It works with paper sizes 12 x 12" (30.48 x 30.48 cm) 12 x 24" (30.48 cm x 60. 96 cm) and you get an extra cartridge included to work with.

    Soo - Yes, so do i waiting for new cartriges to arrive then we can plan new projects around them : )

    Jacqueline - For the price I'd invest in Pick of the week item the fabulous Cricut Expression machine.

    The Cricut Expression works with paper sizes up to 12 x 12" (30.48 x 30.48 cm) 12 x 24" (30.48 cm x 60. 96 cm), significantly expanding your creative possibilities.

    I will try to reply more on Monday - having trouble with my laptop at the moment x

  13. Hi Mel
    I asked earlier in your blog but you may not have seen it. But I cant register my new gorgeous black bug because the website is only recognising addresses in the US and Canada. Any advise???

    Oh and thank you so much for todays show. I was having problems with the paper ripping during cutting and you explained the pressure settings so well that I adjusted mine and it cut perfectly

    THANK YOU xxxxx

  18. Hi, Mel,
    I bought the Pink Cricut Expression last summer from C&C and love it. I have scrapbooking workshops twice a month and use the machine a lot.
    I watched your programmes last week and bought Elegant Edges. I have been trying to cut a 7" shadow eyelet shape using the Center Point button and then a 7.25" round the outside form a 12x12 piece of card but the machine says character won't fit! It is very frustrating. Please can you tell me where I'm going wrong.

  19. I am not sure what you mean but try moving your blade to a more central position as to cut a 7.25" shape it will need at least 4" on every side of the blade. Let me know which page the shape is on if this doesn't work and I will try it out for you.

  20. Hi Edith
    Go into your settings on your machine ( spanner) and press the forward arrow until you get to the screen with Apply all on it (it looks like a world, check your book). Then make sure your machine is set so the Aa is highlighted. Then try a lady and it should work. let me know how you get on.
    Take care

  21. Hi Jayne, at the moment it is not possible to register your machine. Just keep a record of sale and receipt. You can wash your ats in warm soapy water and allow to air dry. You can also spray the back of your CARD with stick and spray.
