Disney Princesses

 My wonderful hubby bought me the Cricut Imagine for Christmas last year and I admit that I really haven't played with it a whole lot. The biggest disappointment for me was that you couldn't combine layers from non-imagine cartridges - however after  A LOT of research and blog reading - I FOUND A WAY! Thanks to an extremely informative blog ( http://cricutcraftroomblog.blogspot.com.au/) I was finally able to combine the layers of the beautiful Disney Princesses. Those of you who have played with any of the little intricate pieces know how difficult it can be. Unfortunately it's not the machine that is able to combine the layers - it is the Cricut Craft Room. I must say that this program is pretty user friendly and there's a wide variety of things that you can do on it. As a first time user I was pretty impressed. The only problem I did find was that if you download the latest version of the CCR it will not allow you to cut the image. In order for you to avoid this problem you have you use CCR 132. I do have the link for this download, that I can send in an e-mail if any one is interested. The clam shell on The Little Mermaid card as well as the black outline of Aurora from Sleeping Beauty were welded together in DS (although from what I saw it is possible to do this in the CCR as well). I added a few little gems to the sea flowers on The Little Mermaid card. On the Sleeping Beauty card she was originally holding a cup, I cut it out of her hands and replaced it with a present from the "Something to Celebrate" Cartridge. I thought it was more appropriate considering it's for a little girl's birthday. I'm not sure if you can see the little tag on the present but it says "Happy Birthday" I used a thin piece of yarn to tie it on the present. Thanks for looking! I absolutely adore the Disney Princesses (Still) so I love the way these cards came out. I'm officially done with Birthday cards for the year! I hope! Next will be Christmas cards!
