It has been full of frustrations. My new toy, Cricut Imagine, arrived on Friday. The mat wasn't very sticky out of the box. Didn't want to hold the paper too well. I fought with it a few times trying to get the blade calibration right for the print and cut before finally giving up. We were out and about on Saturday with my in-laws and stopped and picked up a new pack of mats to see if that helped any. The mats were stickier and I found information on advanced calibration and thought this will be the end to my troubles. But nope, after fighting with calibration for nearly two hours, I just gave up. It cuts pretty close to perfect but not totally. I volunteered to create my niece's birthday invitations for my sister-in-law. She says you can't tell where the princess' hand is cut off a little on the edge but I sure can. Maybe it's because I know how it is exactly supposed to look and it doesn't look that way. :( She says she really likes them. They are not completely done but I hope to have a pic of a finished one tomorrow.
I also volunteered my card creating services to a friend from work. I hope she likes it.
I didn't get as much crafting done as I wanted this weekend. The Imagine frustrated me and I couldn't get past the frustration to design anything. I'm hoping that this week is better and I am able to work out the issues I am having. I am in class for a few hours tomorrow night and I have to finish my portfolio for my Wednesday morning site visit. So hopefully Wednesday night I can dedicate to crafting. (at least that is my goal)
Have a great night!
