Hey Everyone,
Here is a super quick card I put together using my Imagine.  I didn't use the Craft Room this time, just made everything with the machine and it went a lot faster!!!  I also thought I'd make something other than Halloween/Fall too.....

All the images, including the background paper was printed & cut using Cricut Imagine Enjoy the Seasons cart.

This super cute stamp is from Crafty Sprouts- Have a Cool Yule set.

A Card with my Imagine

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share a card that I made using my Imagine.  I used the Cricut Craft Room for this as well.  I have to be honest, it did take me a little longer than I wanted to make the card.  Not sure if it was because of the Craft Room or the Imagine.  I don't use these very often, so when I do it is a little frustrating.  I have to say, I love the way my card turned out, but I guess I just need to use them more to get faster at it.

Both the background patterned papers and the images were cut using the imagine.

I love the bright colors!!

Here is a side view, so you can see the layers.
