Calling all Cricut geeks!!! Who'da thunk you'd need a laptop for scrapbooking? Well, for this project, you will! I am launching a series of Cricut Design Studio classes at Green Tangerines. This software has become so popular, and yet it seems that so many people get stuck trying to figure out how to work it. Maybe because the manual that comes with it is useless, and the software is a little on the quirky side. But I have mostly figured it out now, and we're going to have some fun with it. So the first step is to get signed up for my Design Studio Software Seminar. Ok, so the one in August is actually full with a waiting list, but we are going to add another one in September due to the demand. Not sure of the date for that just yet. Anyway, after you take that seminar, or if you're at least half-way comfortable working the software, you're ready for this fun FALL Wordbook Class. This class will run September 10th and 29th, and we may add another date in October. Each class is limited to 12 students, so they'll likely fill up pretty quickly. You'll need to bring your laptop with DS installed and working, and your Cricut. I'll show you how to design and create this chipboard wordbook. It's crazy fun! Yeah, and then your brain will start going wild with ideas on how to vary this idea. All of your friends will start pestering you to make books for them and all their kids and neighbors and pets. So just be prepared for that, ok? Or you can just practice saying "Go get your own stinkin' Cricut!"

Monique, you have me convinced that I am now going to have to buy the software, darn it! Wonderful project. Your work as always is amazing!!
You make me wish I lived closer. I have the software but these word books are my arch nemisis. I can not figure out how to do them.
