FCCB #176

Hi everyone!

This is Missy here with another Fantabulous Friday post for you.  Are you enjoying this week's musical challenge??  Here are a few more projects I've found for your enjoyment!

First up we've got Melanie from Courtney Lane Designs.  She made this adorable bag using the Musical Note Cricut Craft Room exclusive cartridge.


Marcy from Wolf Creek Crafting made this super chart to help her daughter keep track of practicing her violin!!!  She used the Chore Chart Lite cartridge.


 

Lastly, Carolyn at Carolyn's Creative Corner made this pretty card set using the Quarter Note cartridge.


Here are a couple other cartridges where you can find some music themed images!

Thursday Tutorial - Cutting Vinyl with your Cricut


Hello everyone, JoNeita from Create with JoNeita here with this weeks Thursday Tutorial.  I hope that you are looking forward to our FCCB Vinyl University and that you are ready to learn something new and having fun trying things out. 
 


Our fantabulous sponsor for next weeks FCCB Vinyl University, CricketVinylSupplies.com , has a few really great how to videos, showing how to cut vinyl.  I found that the video was really helpful, the first time I decided to create a vinyl project.  This video is a bit long (8 minutes), but it shows everything from how to get started, settings for your Cricut, how to "weed" your cut, and how to use transfer tape.

To view the videos, click here!!!
(Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to post the video)

Don't forget that is we reach 100 entries, our sponsor will be giving away a Cricut Expression machine

Also, Cricket Vinyl Supplies is offering a 15% discount on orders, just type in the coupon code:

Happy Crafting!!!
