Happy Tuesday All
Ok, so – I am totally bummed I missed the Launch of the new Expression 2 – 5th Anniversary Edition. I ended up falling through a chair getting off our trampoline and landed myself in the ER with a very injured Ankle. Walking Cast and Crutches for a few weeks….wooohoo. LOL
ANYWAY – thankfully I had this Tutorial already filmed and pretty much ready to go, I hope you guys enjoy this layout I created using the Cricut Gypsy and show some inking and scoring techniques that will really help pop up and bring to LIFE your Scrapbook Layouts!
Alright – ENJOY – I’m going to go lay down – More creations coming your way soon! 🙂

Oh, Megan!! So sorry that your evening turned out this way! Hope your ankle heals quickly!!
SO sorry to hear about your ankle. I love watching all your tutorials and dvd’s I can’t wait to use my Cricut Imagine that I won from you the other day. Last week totally got away from me as life does sometimes. I am soooooooooooooooooooooo excited that I have won. I never win anything like this. I am really lucky to win one so special. I will cherish it.
Thanks again.
Megan, Lots of prayers to you for a speedy recovery. Wow! I just realized…you have to figure out how to chase two small children in a cast and crutches! Yikes!
Hope you get well soon! Look on the bright side – it wasn’t your hands so you can still scrap lol.
Cheers from down under

Sorry you got hurt. Hope you feel better soon. Really like the layout of The Good Life and the helpful hints. Thanks alot.
So sorry! Just take of that ankle. Sending good thoughts. Hugs.
Poor Megan. Did that a few years back and had a hairline fracture. Not fun. Will be praying for you.
Loved the layout and dimensional effects! Could also use something like it on my bulletin boards! Thanks for sharing.
hi Megan,sorry to hear you got hurt!!!hope that you get well soon,take care.love your layout.
Megan I am on crutches myself & no it is not fun…But you brighten my day with all the idea’s you have. Happy healing!
Sorry to hear about your fall(off a chair no less!) Hope you get better soon. Love your layout.
Didn’t anyone ever tell you that Moms aren’t supposed to get hurt? Even worse for working Moms. I bet your children make you some cute Get Well cards. The page(s) you do about your accident could be really cute. Does Cricut have a sort of “Boo Boo” cartridge?
Oh, Megan so sorry you were injured. Hope your ankle is much better very quickly. Thanks for the video. I really like the LO.
Sorry to hear about your accident. Rest and take care of yourself. My prayers are with you. I worked last night, but got online at 12:05 am and got my Cricut expresstion 2.
Praying for your quick recovery.
Know how you feel–went walking about a week ago took a tumble and broke my knee….So I can definitely sympathize. Get better soon….this too shall pass. Enjoy your videos. Thanks
I’m wishing you a speedy recovery! The layout is beautiful!
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Do hope you recover soon. What an excuse to be able to sit and play with all the scrap toys. I am interested in seeing how this new expression goes over, would love to have one, but will just have to wait until it goes out again, I hear it will be several months and then new colors on the end caps. Can wait, I love love love my expression that I have.
Megan, so sorry to hear about your fall and that you missed the launching of E2. I couldn’t resist. I ordered it within 5 minutes of the broadcast. You layout is awesome. I love the dimentions. It gives the page so much flair. be blessed and I am praying for your recovery.
So sorry to hear about your accident, hope you heal quickly. Love the layout and what you did with the trees.
So sorry you missed something you were looking so forward to. Heal fast!! Take care of yourself. Your family and all of us would be lost without you if you were unable to use and share your talents. I agree glad it wasn’t your hands! God Bless
Sorry to hear about your ankle. I love this video. I can’t wait to see more video I learned something new today.
TFS
So sorry to hear about your accident.thanks for sharing a beautiful layout
I can understad what you are going through. I broke my left foot in 3 places in 2008. it was rough there for a while. Hope you feel better soon and your foot heals up good.
I like your layout page. I’ ve never been 4 wheelin but it sounds fun.
Hi Megan..so sorry to learn you hurt your ankle, I know how it can be. I was hit by a 16 year old drunk driver and both my legs are hurt and am waiting 3 operations. But, fortunately I still can scrapbook and do what I love when it comes to creating and I do keep a very positive attitude. Love your page!
Praying for healing for you. I understand there is launch tonight. Here is what was sent to me from Everyday Cricut: Join Melanie and I tonight on Ustream by clicking HERE or just by watching above. When we go live at 8:05 p.m. CST ( 9:05 pm EST, 7:05 pm MST, 6:05 pm PST), the box above will have our show!
I’m so sorry to hear about your ankle! I hope you feel better soon!
Megan, What a great “The Good Life” page! I love it! Sorry about your accident, will be praying for a speedy recovery! God Bless!
Oh Megan….so sorry you’ve got a boo-boo. Please be careful.
Oh my goodness, and we think it is just our kids that get hurt while playing! So sorry to hear of your accident. I am praying for a quick recovery.
I broke my ankle is two places several years ago so I know what you’re going through. Just take it easy and listen to the doctor. I love what you did with the trees. They really stand out and so do the blue 4 wheelers. Nice job.
Awww, Megan, so sorry you injured yourself and ended up missing the launch of the Expression 2. I hope you feel better soon and your ankle heals up quickly. (((Hugs)))
Me again, lol. I was just watching your video and noticed that you had the word “good” spelled out backwards “DOOG”. I was wondering if there was a reason for that? Just curious. I’m a new gypsy user and I’m trying to learn all the tricks/tips. Thanks, Megan.
Sorry to hear about your ankle, Megan. I had an encounter with our cat on the back porch (while painting the door), fell, broke one ankle & sprained the other……the cat won! I wish you a speedy recovery.
Absolutly love this layout! I have to have that cartridge! My husband & I ride dirt bikes and it’s so hard to find cut outs for layouts! You get the same stickers over & over! Get well soon!
sorry to hear about your injury…listen to what the dr. says and you’ll do well!
I am so sorry, Sprains are the worst. I have to say however we have a trampoline in our backyard, have for almost 10 years and knock on wood, have had NO accidents. Enjoyed the video, thanks!
Oh yes, I’m sorry, hope you are feeling better soon. Keep that ankle up!
Really cute layout…I’m sorry hear about your ankle. I hope you heel soon. I enjoy you working with Viva Decor pens…seems to be my new tool. I will add you in my prayers tonite. God Bless.
How did you adhere the trees to the page to keep the dimension? Pop dots or something else?
Thanks for the awesome layout!
So sorry to hear about your mishap. Take care of yourself. Love your layout.
Oh man, sorry about your accident. I love this layout! The trees are so cool.
So sorry to hear you you were hope you will be in my prayers.

sure hope u had a good friend order the exp 2 for u!!! as they ran out before 5 pm feel better!!!
Who would have thought to crinkle & score background elements!! What a fabulous idea:) That Viva Decor product looks interesting. I’m going to the web site next. Prayers going out to you for a speedy recovery:)
What a bummer on both counts. I missed HSN because I also was at the Dr. with hubby. Guess we weren’t meant to have the Expression 2 – 5th Anniversary Edition at this time. I love the good life layout!!!!
Hope your ankle heals quickly

I’m terribly sorry about your fall, (although, the time on the trampoline just prior must have been fun)! You are so sweet to have been thinking about serving us a video, under the circumstances. What a fun technique on the trees! I don’t envy the trouble you may have keeping up with your little ones during your recovery…I hope you mend quickly.
Love your layout. I learn something new everytime I see something you do. Hope you feel better soon.
praying for you quick recovery.
I was so sorry to hear about your ankle. I wasn’t surprised you had something for us. You are amazing. Feel better. I added you to my prayer list.
Sorry about your injury and you’re having to miss the launch ! Really like your layout. I have that cartridge and have used it quite a bit with so many grandsons in the family in addition to my husband who is an outdoorsman. Thanks for sharing….Just finished your Imagine A-Z dvd. Thanks for that too. What a great way to get familiar with my new toy !
Soory about your accident. Hope you are feeling better. Take care and just try to lay back for a while. You need some rest and time with your family. You work so much. We will be here always waiting for you. Take care.
So sorry, Megan. Hope you heal quickly!!

Megan, You really made that layout come together nicely, great job! Sorry to hear about your accident, hope you heal quickly!!
Love your dirt bike page. Great ideas with the trees and I am such a fan of Viva Decor products. I only have 4 of the pens but they are a definite go to item in my scrapping tools. Wish I could buy their products around where I live. Well there’s always the good old internet.
Hope you are feeling better! I have several sets of crutches! I ordered the E2 on Tuesday night and it was here Thursday afternoon! All the way to Redding, Ca!I am hopeful for a A-Z DVD to add to my collection.
I loved the way you created the tree back ground.
New products were featured that I had not used in the past! Really enjoy your daily cards or pages!
