Missed a cart on the Font List!

Huge thanks to Dawn (dragonfly50) for letting me know I'd missed the font from Paper Lace 2!!!

I have added it to the list but it won't be uploaded until the next lot of carts that have fonts on them are released.

In the mean time I have created a separate PDF with just the font sample from Paper Lace 2.

Here's the link:

Hello Thursday - August 2011

Just the one cart for Hello Thursday this month. But if you like Teresa Collins and/or Halloween you'll probably love it!

Her new Seasonal cartridge is called Chic and Scary.

We don't really do Halloween in a big way in Australia yet so this one probably won't be high on my list. However, there are some days where this image would be quite appropriate in my house. :)







There are eight carts retiring this month. They are:

My World
Playtime
Sesame St Friends
Hannah Montana
Jolly Holidays
Disney Princesses Dreams Come True
Cupcake
Inspired Heart



See you next month!

A note about the Cricut Circle

There has been some confusion about which cart new members will receive when they join the Circle. I have confirmed the details with PC and here is the info:


Going forward all new never joined before Circle members will receive French Manor in their Welcome Pack, not Sophie.

At some point after this quarter (Aug - Oct) has finished Sophie will be added to Circle Rewards and you will be able to get it from there.

Edited to add new info:

Sophie will be available to order from Cricut Rewards once PC commence mailing out the carts to existing members.

Font list updated for June carts

I have updated the font list to include Ornamental Iron 2, Teresa Collins Sophisticated and Creative Memories Traveler.

There is one small error. Font 2 on the Sophisticated cart has the shadow, not Font 1 as I have noted. 

Links to the various files are here: http://myfaqcricutds.blogspot.com/2011/02/carts-with-fonts-list-updated-for.html

Enjoy!
