Make a Wish........

I got back to my desk today, had quite a productive time up there, but the light had gone, so too late to photograph, so I am showing you two more cards from last month's Papercraft Inspirations magazine (on sale now in the USA). The theme was 'Quick Cards' and the brief was make a wish



The circles on this next one are really glittery. I matched the gems to the glittery circle, if I didn't have a match, I just coloured clear gems with Promarkers. The birthday cake punch is by Martha Stewart




I am loving my iPad - look what I did. I went to the Cricut website, clicked on information, then cartridge library


all the cartridges are listed (well, annoyingly they take ages to put the newer ones on there). I clicked on view in the right hand column for the cartridges I own, that opened the handbook



I sent them over to iBooks......TO DO THIS, CLICK ON THE TOP RIGHT SIDE OF THE PAGE AND YOU WILL SEE THIS ICON


CLICK ON 'OPEN IN iBOOKS - and here they all are in a virtual bookshelf 
You have to do each book individually, you can't do them all at once, but it only takes a minute to do


the pages show up just like the handbook, in colour and easy to read


This really will be a huge help to me, I really like to read the handbooks, in fact I have been known to take a pile of them to bed with me. I read them like saner people read the latest John Grisham, so now I can have a browse wherever I am, and I don't even need to be hooked up to the internet to read them. All I need is my little notepad and pen to jot down ideas - wait, I think the iPad can do that as well. Hmmm, one step at a time - I do promise that this will be the first and last iPad tutorial!

I'll be back tomorrow with a round up of my favourite cards for 2011

  3. More lovely cards Enfys.

    I'm not sure I'd be able to use anything that techy - I struggle if my PC does something that I didn't want it to do LOL

  5. Great Cards! Your IPad sounds wonderful! I don't have one, but I wouldn't mind the odd tutorial. I like learning about things. Max and Milo are looking soooo much alike! Milo has grown so much, he's a little boy instead of a baby. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year my fiend.

  7. Funny, but I thought that was one of the best reasons to own an iPad ;- ) Made me really want one. but don't tell my hubby, because he's dying to have one and we don't have the money for it right now. Great birthday card ideas, too! Those sweet boys just keep on growing up. Don't you wish you could save them at this point ;-) TFS, Enfys.

  8. Congratulations on your new iPad. How fun. I have an iPhone and love it. Yes, I agree, keep on bringing us tutorials on the iPad because I know I'll wind up with one someday. I love anything techy and take instruction books to bed with me all the time. Your boys are so beautiful and growing up right before our eyes. Happy New Year.

  12. Would it be possible for you to explain how to send the cartridge book to ibooks. I was lucky to get an Ipad for Christmas, and it is great.
    Thank you
