Cartridge Box Repurposed
As many of you who follow my blog know I have given up on Provo Craft
and their Cricut product line.
I sold all my cartridges and my new
plum expression
I am waiting for my new Black Cat Lynx to arrive
Well I did have some cartridge boxes laying about
I did not want to see the darn things any more so I covered it
made a card box and cards to go in it
Birthday girl
This file is adorable but I will caution it is probably
for an advanced user
Donations greatly appreciated
Spring is here
Well it really does not feel like it because it is freezing
but I thought I would do a few spring files today and see if it helps
to change the weather
Donations are greatly appreciated

Rocking The Black Cat
The day has come that I will leave Provo Craft behind and their cricut cutting machine
With them filing a lawsuit against Make The Cut and Sure Cuts A Lot.
They made me choose and I choose to be free of cartridge based cutters.
I sure hope they did not think this would boost their business because as far
as I can see it has done no such thing.
Here is what my new baby will look like
High Strength aluminum body, High Precision Steel grit shaft to help prevent slipping on long cuts, 10 Silica Gel Buttons for easy control, High speed Processor, Supports all windows and Macintosh operating systems, Led laser light for precise print and cut, High pressure – 500grms for easy cutting up to cereal weight chipboard, Back lit LCD display, User friendly design allows adjustment of cutting speed and pressure while working, USB and serial interface, Max cutting width: 12", Max media width: 16.25", Operating system: Windows2000/XP/win7/ Vista/win7 x64 /Mac OSX10.2.8, Interface: Serial and USB, Control Panel: 10Silica gel buttons, Cutting Speed 600mm/s, 12 steps, Pressure 50g~500g, 160 steps, Dimensions: 24" x 10.5" x 10.5", Comes with ONE year warranty
You can order this beautiful Lynx from Black Cat here

Well......................
As many of us knew Provo Craft had filed a lawsuit against Make The Cut and Sure Cuts A Lot.
I believe both companies have settled
I would like to tell everyone at this point do not update either program or your cricut firmware
use it as it is for now.
use it as it is for now.
I will be selling off all my PC products
2 cricut Expressions
and 22 cartridges.
I will sell them as bundles both E's work wonderful but they are used one only since Christmas
and the other about 2 years with never a problem
you can read some discussion here about the suit
but keep in mind this is speculation at this point as we have not
had any official word.
I would encourage you all to check out other cutters that will work with the
Make The Cut
software as it is the best on the market today
I know that
Black Cat
Gazzell
Silhouette
eCraft (in bata testing)
are just a few of the many that work.
Please support Andy & Ann (MTC) and Todd (SCAL)
and buy products that stand buy the companies we love!
