Tips and Techniques

Others have told me I need to write a book on little tips and techniques. Well, I'm going to post a little something at least once a week here. These will range form software, digital scrapbooking, hybrid, sales, cricut things, conventions, retreats, ways to save supplies, etc.

These are just some things that I have picked up over the last few years from a variety of friends, teachers, blogs, books, etc. If any others have some tips or techniques to share, please email them to me and I will post for you!

So here's the first tip!

**********

If you want to purchase a cricut cartridge - go to memorymiser.com (see link to the side). Most are $30. Not all cartridges are available.

Another option is to watch for classes that feature the new cartridges. These usually include the new cartridge plus some great techniques and things to do with it. Classes generally include a scrapbook layout and possibly a card.

There may be other websites that offer deals and such - the best thing to do is sign-up for the newsletters and watch for the sales! When I come across one, I'll throw it on the blog!
