Evening everyone
Just an addition to the challenge notes. Some ladies only have SCAL or MTC and only a few or no carts and have asked if they can join in. Of course they can I want as many people to join in as possible. I will be setting challenges in the future that don't use the Cricut at all as it's nice to do different things. Plus if you have any ideas for challenges, please let me know.

Hiyah peeps!! here's my card for the first challenge!! thankyou so much for doing challenges again Kerry because I seriously love them xxx
I decided to combine my cricut carts ad my lovely new MTC software!!
The card base is from the awesome Penny's blog and it a dream to play with as she pops all the mat bits on the cut file too. The heart cut I have used is from my All Mixed Up cart. I heat embossed the heart with copper embossing powder and there is teeny hearts embossing on the side panels too.

Oh lovely card Lou, so coreect me if I'm wrong the card was cut on the cricut with MTC ?

A great first entrance - well done Lou.

Wow, just lovely Lou. I really like the vintage feel of the card too.

what a beautiful card Lou love it and I think I NEED mtc lol

Hi Girls, I've got a little problem, I think im being a bit thick but how do you download a picture. I've tried several times but it keeps on saying no picture chosen

Here's my very untraditional Valentines card
The heart balloon came from Create a Critter and cut at 3 1/2".

Kerry that is so cute!! I love the heart balloon with the smiley face, I don't have Create a critter but you're enabling me with the wonderful cards you make using the cart!
