It’s Time…
Just a quick post to let you know that I haven’t disappeared…John and I are getting married October 25th and, well, time has caught up with us! I have been trying to get my mile long to-do list finished and enjoy this time with my new family.
John and I are going to LA on November 10th. We have four days of honeymooning and then three days at a super-intense business conference by Ali Alexander. I already have some big plans for when we get back, but I am expecting to come home with lots of new ideas and a plan to expand what has been started by the Learning The Cricut DS manual.
On a side note, when I get back I will be creating an update video to show the grouping feature. The August DS update added more nudge keys and a few other changes I will be walking through. The manual will be updated and the video will automatically be sent out to all of you who have purchased the manual.
John and I will also be creating my new studio/corner. I am so excited! We plan to get cabinets from Lowe’s and get my space just as I need it. After we are done I plan on doing some videos actually using the Cricut. Lots of great things to come. In the mean time, I need to focus on trying to fit into my wedding dress!
If you’d like to see the hardcover guestbook I designed using Heritage Makers you can see it on my personal blog at www.BrandiKayDesigns.com. It will take a few seconds to load. You can also see what Oprah had to say!
Oh…and check out the new YouTube videos before you go. Click on the Paper Doll tutorials.
We can finally GROUP in CDS!!! (and forget the burping!)
Many of you know that in the Design Studio one of the biggest frustrations was not being able to select more than one image at a time and manipulate them together. It looks like this is something they have changed in their 8-08 update. Hopefully in the future there will be a simple group/ungroup button, but for now Diane has put together a great tutorial on her blog, Capadia Designs.
The most recent update has also seemed to take away the need for “burping” images. Welding inside of a frame is now a straighforward process. Diane also shows an example in her tutorial above.
P.S. Putting these tutorials together is not a quick process. Please make sure you leave a comment on other people’s blogs and let them know how much we appreciate their time and effort. Plus, a nice word will probably brighten their day!
