More Exclusives!

It seems that "provocraft announced a partnership on 2 exclusive cartridges More info Aug 1."

I wonder if they are for the new Imagine machine cartridges or the regular cricut cartridges.  What are your thoughts?

*update:They are regular cricut cartridges - there are two.

CHA Craft & Hobby Association Weekend in Chicago!

If you are a follower and/or frequent visitor of my blog, you might have caught some Future Cricut Cartridge Sneak Peeks from July 29. If you notice the video sneak peeks are no longer posted as Provocraft asked that they be removed due to the high quality images. There is concern that perhaps someone might use them to compete in the market place or gain a business advantage.


The video and images that were posted on my blog were not taken in the private circle room where they had them protected. The video that I recorded was a small glimpse of just a couple of the pages in the binders that were in the circle room to preview. They shared a brief sneak peak presentation with those attending CHA earlier that day in the Provocraft booth showing just a few pages from their future releases. They had not mentioned that no video or pictures were to be taken during the presentation and as they were in the front of the entry. I am sure that the general public could have seen from the door as well. I guess Provocraft under estimated the quality that is freely available in video and camera equipment today.

Also, you can become a follower by clicking on the ‘follow’ button just above the ‘subscribe to’ button in the right hand column.

I have more pictures and videos to post from CHA. It has been a very busy time and I hope you are enjoying all the information that I have gathered. I also have tried to answer a lot of the questions that you have asked me. I will be posting more answers as well. Stay tuned and I hope you are enjoying your weekend if not at the Supershow with whatever you chose to do this weekend. It truly was a blessing to meet so many people at CHA, Supershow and events in Chicago.

Jinger receives Serenade to Ode to Gypsy
