    Cute hedgehogs! Have a great time at CHA…keep us posted.
    BTW, have a Gypsy question…about making sure the shadow layer and the top layer in a title are the correct “proportional” size for each other…is there a technical way or do you just drag it over top and try to line them up???
    Thanks!

    Thank you so much Megan for doing these tutorial! They are so helpful. I have your DVD and go to it often but I love when you do one on your blog. I know it must take you some time and I really do appreciate what you do.

    This is an adorable card – thank you for taking the time to make the video tutorial.

    I recently purchased both of your DVDs – Cricut A to Z and Gypsy A to Z. I must say they are both very well done and packed with information and ideas. I’ve used my Cricut E for a while and finally figured out most of it on my own, yet I still learned a few tips I could use. How I wish I’d had the Cricut DVD when I was struggling to learn by trial and error! The Gypsy DVD is fantastic – the step by step explanations of all the buttons and icons priceless. The downloadable project files are great too. Thank you and Tammy for welding my bond with my little G, by helping me better understand her and how she thinks! :D Now my Cricut cartridges rarely see the light of day but my G is always within reach when I am in my studio.
