I found out what the deal is about this release (Lyrical Letters & Life's A Beach). These two cartridges were supposed to be Michael's exclusives but Michael's backed out.......this is why they are selling to the online stores with such a soon delivery. They manufactured them to be released in March for Michael's and then everyone else would get them in May. So there ya go. Provocraft in panic mode.

PreOrders on the New Cricut Cartridges
I've been watching close and the prices are tight but I have found what I think is the best price on the new Life's a Beach and Lyrical Alphabet cartridges.
Kim over at Cutters Creek is selling them for $$58.99 each. But here's the kicker, if you buy both at the same time, you can use coupon code a4b3018dec and get $5 off that price AND she charges NO SHIPPING and will send them out Priority Mail.
Girl you can't beat this with a stick!!

Layout: Lil' Princess
I think that if I never got another font cartridge I would be ok as long as I have my Alphalicious!
Layout: Order Pizza!
The title says it all. Title cartridge was Alphalicious and the pizza was made with Locker Talk. You know, Locker Talk isn't mentioned that much but it is a great cartridge to have. For this layout, I could have used it to make a cell phone too but chose the pizza instead.
Layout: Proclaim His Glory
Sometimes you find some paper that is just so perfect that all you have to do is add a matted photo and one itty bitty embellishment. Beautiful!
Challenge - Get Organized!
End of the month things to do:
* Turn in any undeveloped rolls of film for processing,upload your digitals for processing, or if you print at home, get it done. Don't let pictures pile up.
* Sort through the embellishments on your workspace. Put like items together, even if they're differnt colors. Toss scraps of ribbon or fiber too small to work with. File stickers and diecuts away. Clean up those pesky little bits that clutter your workspace.
* Finally, sort and file your papers. Toss those smaller than a half sheet in size or use them now to make up a card.

ProvoCraft News
Provo Craft is developing a new mobile product (approximately 4 x 6) which would allow you work on your creative projects, no matter where you are:
* This device provides Cricut Design Studio capabilities (such as welding, stretching, and rotating), so you could work on your creative projects away from your computer.
* Allows you to organize your artwork by topic, event, creative project and even provides a way for you to organize how you would like images organized on your cutting mat.
* Let's you store all of your Cricut cartridges into the device, enabling you to take all of your Cricut artwork with you wherever you go (within your house, to a gathering with friends/family, in your car, etc).
* Also eliminates the needs to carry your cartridges, overlays and manuals around.
* Device plugs into any PC computer or Cricut machine.
Here's an example of how you might use this product:
Beth is waiting for her daughter to get out of her piano class, and starts thinking about the baby shower invitations she needs to send out. She pulls her mobile device out of her purse and searches for all flower images available from her purchased cartridges (which have already been loaded onto her device). She finds the one she likes, and starts designing her card with CDS. Later, at a friend's house, she plugs in her device to her friends Cricut, cuts her images, letters (which are already laid out on her "virtual" mat), and finishes her cards that night.
So, what's your thoughts on this new developement from ProvoCraft?
