Hello Crafters,  I have wanted to make this Web Card for a while now.  Emma, over at My Creative Time has a challenge on her blog.  The challenge is that you have to make a "shaped" card  and use the color "Orange" somewhere on the card.  I know this card looks "yellow" but it really is Orange  I just couldn't get the lighting right today.  I used Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge and Martha Stewart Glass Microbeads, they are so fun to use. Hope you like my card.

Project #20 - Cricut Imagine Mat - How To Restore The Stickiness

Hello Crafters. I just wanted to post this tip about the Cricut Imagine Mat. I was told by ProvoCraft that maybe the reason the mats have lost their stickiness was because they were sitting in a shipyard for a couple of months and the heat and cold may have something to do with it. If you are having trouble with your mats, try this method out.  I hope this helps. Bug Hugs!
