Just had an Email from Sandy to say both she and Raquel have been unable to get on for the last two days and to say Hi to all.
Also just to let you know all being well I will be hosting from this Wednesday.

This is frustrating...I have to google put in cricut message board just to get to the log-in screen. I had it in my favorites but it won't open anymore.
I know this has been stated many times but my way of posting pictures is no longer working. I never copies those instructions because my way seemed to work just fine.
After I save my pictures to my desktop...how can I get them on here. I am computer illiterate so need step by step.
I used to do it this way: Click on attach files to this post, hit post, then when it takes me to the next screen I would click on browse, get my picture from my file, hit upload. Is there a better way?
Thank you
Lisa

Yes on frustrating... I did call support and they said that they didn't know of a problem but they do now.... Lisa that is the way I posted my pics also and can't as of now... Plus they stated that Chrome and Cricut don't work too well together also but I did try using internet explorer while I was on with support and that didn't work. For us Lisa we will have to wait and see if they can fix whatever the problem is.
I couldn't get in the craftroom as I was taking to support but now I can...so they did fix something.
Sue if you can email Sandy and Raquel... let them know to clear their browser and see if that helps so they can get on MB.... I had to do that the other day and it worked so I could get on but I still can't post... but support stated if they are still having problems to call them and they will work with them.
Support also said that maybe it is our antivirus protection that is causing the problems why we can't attach our files.
Going to try again to attach a card just to see...so if you see a pic it works if not... it doesn't work.

Nancy: The only way I could see yours is through your blog. Cute with the different hearts. Anybody's post that has a box that says "attached..." I cannot view. Has an X and won't load.

Sketch #3 The only cricut on this card is the number 26 cut from Winterwoodland at 1" using the font and font shadow cut. The computer and circuit board paper were printed from my computer printer. I cut out the screen of the computer and used a piece of white cardstock and then, stamped and heat embossed "celebrate" and the little swirls. This I adhered to replace the missing screen.This new screen I covered in glossy accent to make it look shiny. I embossed the solid background paper. The computer and numbers are popped out using some foam tape. I added a buckle brad and the black ribbon behind the computer printout and added some black gems.

Hey all, sorry it's taken me a while to get back onto the boards again. I've been viewing but haven't posted anything since the last challenge! I've not had the same problems that you guys have had but the problems I've had is actually posting a picture. The only way I can do it through my blog. I think it must be something with google chrome. . .I can't upload anything else to my computer due to my settings on my computer.
I have been working on the challenges though and have 1 and 2 sketches done, will work on getting them up on my blog and work on sketch 3 tonight! :)

Well I got in my room today (trying take my mind off being sick ) I really liked sketch #3 I think it is a fun sketch to work with so I got busy and I made a card
In lieu of 2 small flowers I added one LARGE flower I cut this flower a long time ago so I am not sure what cartridge it is from, I also used scraps for this card.
The center ovals are Spellbinders TFL

Hi to all. I will Email Sandy and Raquel and tell them what is going on.
Sorry we are all having so much trouble, I wonder if it has something to do with when we log on and say yes to only allowing safe posted items? I don't know just guessing.
NanaDonna - What a pretty card you have made for #3, fab flower too. Hope you have a great time and win big.
Sue

Sketch 2 is a creative card. Love all of those ornaments and the golden colors are a great touch there. Nice job!

Sketch 3 is sooo pretty! Loved the big flower~

Christine, the embossing folder is swiss dots. thankyou Thank you Bingolady for letting me know. .. who is that by? I know there are all kinds of embossing folders so that was why I asked. .. thanks again! :) Does anyone know of a great magazine to get that offers suggestions and helpful tips for card making with Cricut? I don't want one based on scrapbooking. .. that wouldn't really do me any good. .. looking for one on strickly card making! Thanks and any helpful hints would be fabulous! :)

Very cute! Like the bright red & yellow colors and the heart gem. The girl image is very cute also, nice work on the coloring.
christine
I think it is a very nice male card, brown and blue color combo are great male colors for a card. The little cupcake looks yummy. You ask how you did...IMO I would have left off the ribbon.... guys are usually not into the three "Bs" on cards...buttons, bows and Bling! But, if giving it to a female, the ribbon and bow adds that perfect feminine touch to it. I subscribe to the magazine "Paper Crafts" and like it cause they give you cards to make for every Holiday, adverise all the latest tools out there for cardmaking and scrapping, Images in the book and that you can also download for free, contests and much more. I really like it...here is their Website if you wish to check it out www.PaperCraftsMag.com

#1 - Love the "Hearts" theme on this card!! All the pattern papers are very pretty and the Skittles on the corners add a nice touch. Great card!! Edited by user Wednesday, February 06, 2013 9:59:29 AM(UTC)
