Gypsy Update

I have registered – synced- updated my cricut gypsy  and updated my cricut expression using design studio

I had to register the gypsy on another computer as my laptop would not recognise the gypsy sync 

I have linked one cartridge and it seems to be working — so far so good

I did not get the update for photo app on the gypsy (there seems to be a problem and cricut say it will be with us very soon  ) 

Provocraft are not very good with their instructions but if you go onto the cricut forum the ladies there are very helpfull —www,cricut.com/forum

Now I have to find some spare time to design!

What is as Artist Trading Cards (ATC) ?

ATC Specifications Card size must be 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. The size of a Poker Card is about right, while a regular playing card is too small. Most traders cut card to size, using any medium weight card. Any medium can be used to decorate the card, such as: Paint Paper Toppers Peel Offs Rubber Stamps (when stamping please include the name of the stamp on the reverse of the card) Just about anything from your craft box. It’s just like making a mini greeting card. What’s the reason for ATC’s I hear you ask. There is no reason – Artists have been trading and sharing cards like these for many years. It’s seen as a way of sharing your designs with like minded people. They cannot be sold, but can only be given as an act of kindness (rak) or swap. Just like the Pokemon and football cards children swap in the playground. It’s fun for all ages. Check out our Artist Trading Card Gallery for Ideas on how to get started.   Send your swaps to: LainesWorld 58-60 Commerce St Insch Aberdeenshire AB52 6JB Please include a sae and ensure the correct postage rate is applied (usually large letter. This is becase of the thickness of the envelope, not the actual size)
