Got My Glue Glider Pro
I finally got my GlueGlider Pro Plus yesterday. They sent with it one of each of the different mulit directional adhesives. I played with it a little. The jury is still on on how much I like it. It seemed to work fine for me... but I will still think twice before ordering from OhMyCrafts again.

OhMyCrafts Woes and Glue Glider Pro Plus
Hello everyone...
I don't normally do any ranting on my blog. In fact, I believe this is the first. I am a little disappointed in OhMyCrafts.com .. I placed an order on Sept 22 and the status is STILL "processing". It started with an email from them with a promo code to get 30% any order under $30. On top of that, thanks to Lisa, owner of minialbumscraps.ning.com, I wanted a Glue Glider Pro Plus. OhMyCrafts had it on sale. So I jumped on this for the sale plus the 30% off my order. Have any of you had issues with getting orders in a timely manner from OhMyCrafts? I don't think I will ever order from them again!!!
To make matters worse, I could have gotten it for the same money, including shipping, on Amazon and would have had my tool a long time ago.
I sent an email to the customer service and the reply was not satisfactory. They said that orders are being delayed because of the huge response to their sale. They expect to be back on normal shipping schedule in a couple of weeks!!! That is not good enough for me. I think they need to have the man power to back up their sales. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER again. Just be for warned my faithful followers.
By the way.... anyone else here use the Glue Glider Pro Plus?? If so, please leave a comment and let me know what you think of it, if you like it and how it compairs to the ATG guns.

My New Scotch ATG Gun
I got my new toy errrrr I mean tool yesterday in the mail. I ordered the pink Scotch ATG gun, my birthday present to myself.
I can not wait to get started using it. I have been trying different adhesives and none really measuring up to what I wanted. I played with it a little last night and it is so easy to use. The tape glides on with ease and once it is stuck, it is stuck. This is a great alternative to the red gun that Scotch puts out but with out the high price tag. This pink one was maybe half of what I would have paid for the traditional red ATG. For those of you looking for a good applicator, you must give this one a try. My only complaint is that it has a learning curve to loading. It didn't come loaded. I had to load it myself last night and it took me a good 15 minutes to get it figured out and loaded. But, once you have done it a couple times it does get easier.
You can purchase yours below.. Compare this price to the red one which is almost $50

The New Make The Cut Beta 3 Software
Oh what a dream the new Make The Cut software is!!! Andy has answered the call for Print and Cut!! This feature is so awesome. You can now print your image and cut around it. Below are instrucitons and a video I found outlining the process.
1) Open MTC and click on the Pixel Trace button and go to where your image is stored, highlight it and click open. You may want to start with something simple, not very detailed to experiment with.
2) Set the threshold to 254. You want to make sure you get the whole out line of the graphic.
3) Check the “Set Image as Texture” checkbox and click Import.
4) Next, click on the image to select it and click on the Blackout button.
5) You also want to uncheck “outline shapes” at the bottom of the Visual Mat tab.
6) Click on File and then Print and Print the image out.
7) Click on File and Print Options.. check the option to show paper on mat.
8) Align the printed paper just as it shows on mat on the screen and cut your image.
Its that easy.... check out the following video.. Get your copy of MTC by clicking on the link in my sidebar

We’re eager to see what our customers can now do with a simple sheet of white paper and Cricut Imagine print-and-cut technology.”
“HP is always expanding its personal publishing portfolio with new products and services that inspire and enable creativity among individuals and families,” said Kathy Tobin, Vice President and General Manager, Specialty Printing Systems Division, HP. “Cricut customers can benefit from high-quality Original HP ink to achieve unique and professional results.”

News From the Cricut Front
In mid May, the all new Cricut Cake Machine will be shipping. This new product was announced in the Winter CHA 2010. It is designed specifically for decorating cakes, cupcakes, or what ever else in the baking industry...
Also, a new cartridge will be shipping with this machine and will only be available if you buy the cake machine. It is Cake Basics. Below you can see some of the images on the Cartridge.
Hopefully once this product is offically shipping, a full review will become available.
Cricut Program Updates and Font Packs available here
What else is going on?? Provocraft is retiring a couple carts. Sad to say that Stamped and Tags, Bags, Boxes and More will retire and no longer available. Once the current stock sells, they will be gone.
