I think posting what you make would be fine, but posting the file of what you made would definitely be the no-no.

Chris and Friend is lovely.
I also love your Rings around Mickey card.
Is the Christopher and Pooh image from the new Pooh cart in Cricut or did you find an image and use it in SCAL?

Your cards are beautiful, Susan, but I've always been curious about one thing. Where do you write whatever you're going to write in terms of a greeting? Does it shows through to the outside of the card or is there a liner?

Hi,
Are you the lady thats done a turorial for making Word Books? I've only had my Cricut a couple of weeks and really really want to learn how to make these lovely cards, I tried making the card following your instructions and unfortunately it wouldn't cut anything after all my efforts, If you are the lady, I don't suppose you could hazard a guess as to why it wont cut??
I would appreciate your advice, you appear to be the only person who has written proper instructions on how to do it as opposed to lots of people who let you download thier offerings, great but I'm not learning anything!! Anyway hope you dont mind me asking
Thanks
Sandie

Sandie, I read that you couldn't cut anything...are you sure it was connected properly (do you have the blade in correctly?) cuz it should have cut something even if it was not welded.
Making the Word books are easy.
- In SCAL on the Library Table, there are two tabs...Font and Shapes. Go to the Shapes tab and select a square (will show up on the Shapes Table, 2nd row, 2nd from the right end) Once selected, click on the mat and it will show up on the SCAL screen
- Check the Weld box in Shapes Properties
- On the Library Table, select the Font tab and click on your letter...check on the Weld box again.
- Use the arrows to move your letter to the box so that their outlines cross
- Once you make your first letter, the square for the next box/letter combination should be longer so that the letter extends to the right of the previous one.
