Pink Atg Gun & Peel N' Stick Ribbon Giveaway...



Here is another great giveaway that I am having right now.
It is for the brand new
Pink Atg Gun & 4 packs of Peel N' Stick Ribbon

While I was a Michaels last week they had this Pink Atg Gun on clearance for $10.00 and I had to grab it. I will tell you that it does not come with the tape and that may be the reason for the markdown but I knew that I was going to buy it for a giveaway. Just leave a comment below telling me what you would do with it and why you want to win it.
Good luck everyone.. I will leave this open for a week or so.
Have a great day everyone!! ~Terri

Cricut Expression 2 Coming Soon......

Provo Craft Announces a new Fifth Anniversary Machine with Loads of Upgrades
So some of you may or may not be aware but there is a brand new Cricut Expression 2 coming soon. I know that I am way late announcing this but I have been having major computer issues. My computer just arrived back from being repaired today so I thought I would just post this great update because some of you are not aware of this amazing new machine that is coming soon.

This Brand New Cricut Expression 2 can use the regular Cricut cartridges and the Cricut Imagine cartridges at the same time. I do not own the Imagine because I have been waiting to see what everyone else thought about it before I bought one and I also wanted to see how it worked before I shelled out almost $600.00. I am SOOO happy that I waited because this Cricut Expression 2 is supposed to be better then the imagine. It will be launched on Hsn in a few months...I even heard maybe in April.

This is some of the features of the new CE2:

  • New machine design with all-new colors and finishes.
  • Still 12" x 24" cutting capability. Enables large-format cutting and creating.
  • Compatible with ALL Cricut cartridges – including Cricut Imagine cartridges. (Cricut Imagine cartridges will only cut images.)
  • Larger, faster, full-color LCD touch-screen display with stylus. No keypad overlay required!
  • Mat Preview: See shapes you’re cutting and where they fit on the mat before you cut!
  • Material Setting: Choose a default setting for materials you often cut such as cardstock, fabric, chipboard, etc OR customize a material setting just how you want it.
  • Cutting-Area Light: A light underneath the cutting area to let you see where you’re cutting on the mat.
  • Exclusive cartridge content pre-loaded on the machine.
  • Swappable side trim pieces.
  • Longer power cord.
  • New exciting features to be added through simple firmware upgrades.
  • Swappable side trim pieces so you can personalize your Cricut, and more.

As I find out more information I will most certainly post all of the details here.

Also, get this..Provo Craft has also announced that there will be a new Cricut Craft Room, which will be a FREE web based program..and is also compatible with any Cricut machine... as well as with pc and mac computers. This online program will allow you to use on-screen editing for any cartridge you own. You will also be able to preview all of the other cartridges available. There will be over 100 NEW Cricut Cartridges in the 2011 year!! How awesome is that???  The Cricut Craft Room does offer the complete Cricut library to customers for designing purposes, you must own the cartridges if you choose to cut with them. Craft Room does require an internet connection which allows customers to access their account and design from anywhere; you can only cut from a maximum of two computers but these computers can be changed at any time.

I am super super excited for this Cricut Craft Room and I cannot wait to use it. I really love that it is completely FREE for all of us to use.  They are also coming out with these ADORABLE sweet little Cricut Bugs that are essentially like a little toy that you can display. I guess toy is the wrong word but it is so late and I am dead tired..lol. I will find a picture and post it tomorrow. They are SOOO cute!! I am going to get a couple of them.. trust me..if you have not seen them you will want some too!! Maybe when I get some I will have a giveaway of those. How cute would that be??

I know that I will be 1st in line to get the new Cricut Expression 2 when it launches on Hsn. When I find out the date I will let you all know asap. Talk to ya all soon.. ~Terri

Drum Roll Please..And The Winner Of The Peel N' Stick Ribbon Is.....

Before I announce the winner, this morning my computer arrived from being fixed. I am SO happy that it is home..sheesh have I missed it so much. Now I need to back everything up just incase this happens again and I can't get it to work. I have everything on this computer. That was a close call...lol...but very happy that it is home and working beautifully!

Now on to the winner. I decided to just give the 20 packs of ribbon to one (1) person because I felt it was kinda unfair to change the giveaway after you all entered.
 So...the winner of the 20 Packs of Peel N' Stick Ribbon is Toby R....Congratulations Toby.
Email me at TwoPinkPeas@Yahoo.Com so I can get your information and I will get these out to you as soon as I can.

I will be having another giveaway for this same ribbon soon. I will have it to where several can win this time. Thanks to all of you who entered. I will announce the new giveaway very soon. I have so many packets of this ribbon that it is kinda unfair of me to hog it all, plus I LOVE sharing. I am such a giver anyway so this is super fun for me. Hope you all are doing well..I will talk to you all again soon! ~Terri

Ughh..My computer died...

So a few days ago I was trying to upload some pictures of new cards and a new post to go with it and my computer just up and died. I had to call the computer company and my warranty expired 2 weeks ago..lol..figures. Thank goodness the computer company extended my warranty and they are repairing it for free. Whew..I feel so lucky!! Once I get my baby back I will post the winners for the Peel N Stick Ribbon and my new cards. Right now to get this blog to you I am actually blogging from my cell phone.

I do want to thank you all for hanging in there with me during this time. I am sure it can be frustrating for you all. I will post again soon. ~Terri

Two Pink Peas Website Is In Development...

So my sweet husband came to me a couple nights ago and told me that my blog is a mess..LOL. He is a web developer and lot's of other things at the same time. He is now going to design my www.twopinkpeas.com website. Right now if you click on it you will be redirected back to here on blogspot. So, we are in the process of setting up a whole new website for all of you. Hopefully it will be organized much better, designed much better and easier to search for things. That is our goal. I am really excited. He is always working and rarely has time to do things like this but he offered to do it all on his own. I just love him so much. How SWEET is he?? Once it is all done I will be making another announcement and letting you all know so you can visit and let me know what you all think.

I would LOVE to hear any comments and suggestions on what you all would like to see implemented on my website?? It can be anything, anything at all. Today I am working on another card and hopefully I will post that with the directions on how to make the past few cards too. Things have been crazy and that is why I have not done that yet.

When the www.twopinkpeas.com is all set up I will be having a great giveaway just for the occasion!! Maybe a Cricut Cartridge??? How does that sound?

Have a great day and I will talk to you all soon!!! Hugs, ~Terri

Best Friends Car Decal Cartridge Card

So I got inspired to use my Car Decal Cricut Cartridge today after doing some research on it today. I found some really super cute ideas and I have never used it before until today.
I will list everything about this tomorrow.

To be honest, it did not come out like I wanted it to but I thought I would share it anyways. Sometime this week I am going to redo it or make a different one using the Car Decal cartridge. I do have to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Car Decal cartridge..it is by far SO much cuter then I expected it to be. Plus, there are a few Cricut bug pictures on the cartridge. I really like how the little girl and the puppy came out..it is just the rest of it that I am not sure about. I have not slept one single wink in almost 24 hours so I am very tired and my back is killing me..lol. I am sure that has something to do with it. With a good nights rest I will be back trying it again tomorrow.

I will post how to make this card tomorrow as I can barely keep my eyes open right now. Thank you all for stopping by my blog and taking a peek. I really appreciate it and I LOVE comments!!!

See you all tomorrow with a new project! ~Terri

Question For You All About The Peel N' Stick Ribbon Giveaway...

I was reading all the wonderful and sweet comments that you all wrote for the giveaway and I wish I could give the Peel N' Stick Ribbon to ALL of you. So, I came up with an idea but I wanted to ask all of you who had entered the giveaway already. I can give 1 person the 20 packets of the ribbon OR I can divide them up and make it to where 3 of you can win some. I of course would add some more to it so it would be equal for all of you. I just do not know how much a piece yet. What do you all think? That is more chances to win but it is less ribbon. I will do what you all want me to do.

Please leave me a comment here and let me know how you feel about this. Thanks SO much!! Also, Thanks so much for ALL the wonderful comments..Keep them coming! I love each and every one of them!!~Terri

I'm So Glad You're My Dad Card...

Here is a little quickie card that I made today. I did not use the Cricut or Cuttlebug at all. I just used some paper and cardstock that I had on hand. I will post the directions and the materials used tomorrow sometime. It is after 3 am and I need to get to bed. I just wanted to at least post the picture of it tonight. Excuse the fraying of the ribbon at the end, I did not see that until after I took the picture..lol..oopsie!

Anyhow, I just wanted to share this since I have not posted pictures of any new cards in a while. While you are here be sure to enter my giveaway for the super cute Peel N' Stick Ribbon. The post is down below somewhere..I know that does not really help you out much..lol.

I hope you all have a fabulous day tomorrow and I will talk to you all then!! Thanks SO much for stopping by my blog and for taking a look!!! ~Terri
