I'm in LOVE!!!

Hello everyone, I know I have been MIA for the past few days but I have the greatest excuse ever....I finally bit the bullet and trusted all my blog peeps that have taken the giant step before me and downloaded SCAL (Sure Cuts Alot) to use with my Cricut. And to be perfectly honest....I am completely in love with it. I have ignored everything for the past few days except my new found toy. My husband is starting to feel neglected. If you haven't heard of SCAL...or if you have been reluctant to purchase it...run, don't walk, to CraftEdge and purchase it now. You can use any image available to you on the internet to cut out on your Cricut. It is the most fantastic addition to the Cricut I have ever seen... No more $90 cartridges...no more trying to find a place to store all my boxes of $90 cartridges, no more trips to Hobby Lobby and Michaels to look for $90 cartridges and did I mention...NO MORE $90 CARTRIDGES....It was so simple, inexpensive (a mere $53 after a coupon code) and I'm ashamed I was such a "doubting Thomas"...I should have taken the advice of the talented Blogger's World and done it months ago. I did have to download Inkscape to use along with it...this will convert any jpeg. file into the svg. file that Cricut uses...but it was free and very simple to use...I will be posting pics of what I have been working on when it is complete...I just can't decide with everything that is now available to me, what to use for a design.
So I apologize for being a slacker and I hope to do better with my new toy....be sure to come back soon to see what projects I've completed. Happy Sunday!!

  2. I clicked on your links and they don't work. Could check them to make sure they are working, or give me the addresses for the Craftedge and Inkscape. I bought a Cricut too and would love to get this program. Also what was the coupon code???
