Just bought a Cricut again I had the Cricut joy but they had a sell on the bigger ones and I have a picture of my sister that passed away recently. And I wanted to do a picture I was lost trying to figure it out but thanks to you I got now thank you again. You have a new follower here.

    I've watched several of your videos today. I can't thank you enough for posting such helpful tutorials. I just bought a Cricut Explore, and I was becoming frustrated. After watching your videos, it all makes sense now. I really like the way you troubleshoot as you are giving instruction, and I appreciate the pace of your instruction. You keep it moving, and keep me interested. Thanks, again!

    Hi Christopher,
    I just stopped by to say Thank You, I've learned so much in a months time that I could not have accomplished on my own through trial and error. We appreciate you for taking the time to do these tutorials.

I got it to create stencils for metal jewelry etching and really need to give it a try. Your video was so helpful I'm going to do that today. By the way, your dog looks almost identical to my little guy, Wiley.

    I am so impressed by this. I was actually looking on how to make a picture look like a negative to put on a glass block and or coffee cup. This is so helpful and you make it look really easy. You also taught me an easier way to weed vinyl. I am wondering if I put the picture (my niece had to put her dog to sleep who was her only child) into design space

    • @rebeccabostwick1256
      @rebeccabostwick1256 Před 8 lety

    Love your videos.. I am having some problems with this and I was hoping you could help me. What kind of pictures do you recommend for this project? My problem is that the finished project is always totally different looking than the picture I started with. The people are unrecognizable when I'm finished. Lol.. Do you suggest pictures with lighter colored back grounds like white clouds and columns, dark back grounds, busy backgrounds etc... I am not ready to give up on this project I just think i need a little guidance from a pro.. 😄.. Thank you
