Now on to today's layout...
True confession time....Joy and I just cut a ton of stuff with her Imagine machine to check it out. Then we were left with a big pile of cuts. We then thought it prudent to use as many of these cuts in projects as we could. This layout is one such project. I have to admit it was made in record time for me. The cuts were done, so it was merely a matter of matching paper and sticking everything down. This is a very, very simple layout. It is one for those minimal scrappers out there. I usually pile more things on, but I think it's simplicity shows off these pretty butterflies.

Nice job. I am one of those who doen't think I need the new bug. I reallylove the expression though, so I will be using it the rest of my life I think!
Beautiful card! Hard to believe this was made from leftovers lol. I am still working my way through the stack of cuts I made when I first got my Expression lol.
TFS!
Wow, what a Great card, I wish I could buy this machine!!! Thank you somuch for sharing.

Thanks for telling us that, sometimes I just want to cut stuff out and play with my Cricut. I don't always have a project for the things I cut out but I end up finding things to use them on at a later time! I am glad I am not the only one who does this! :-)
Ok, you guys are making me more convinced to buy one. Love the butterfly. 1 question though. Is there any way to do an invitation on a shape? For example if I am having a princess party can I use the OUAP cartridge and the Imagine will print the cut the who, where all that good stuff too on one layer? I would love to see a project like that.
Thanks Ladies

The Imagine continues to intrigue me! Thank you for sharing these projects - they give me a lot of ideas!
Simple and elegant! The butterflies are super cute.

O am getting very tempted..lol
very pretty I keep telling myself I don't need another machine but I don't sound very convincing
Really pretty! Love those butterflies!
Cute layout. I don't mind learning more about the Imagine. Keep on sharing. Thanks.
Great butterflies..who doesn't love butterflies!!?? beautiful!
Beautiful layout. Just love the butterflies!
Right a simple layout but well balanced and cute
GORGEOUS! I am a sucker for butterflies! Great color combo too
Very pretty! Love the butterflies and color combo!!
sueot33@yahoo.com
Very nice card! Thanks so much.
I like how you inked the edges. That draws the attention away from that stark white border that I don't really like - and is uneven on a lot of the cuts I've seen.
That is a pretty layout. I love butterflies.
Super cute. Love the butterfly.
Wow, the colors are incredible with the Imagine. Thanks you for showing us some of what it can do.
Simple still can be very pretty! Thank you for ideas. I can't wait until I get my Imagine!
Love it. :) The saying is great! JenBrierley2@gmail.com
Very cute butterflies! TFS!
Great layout, thanks for sharing.
Great LO! Love the colors and the butterflies are great.

Great use of scraps! Thanks for all the demos and the giveaway

Those butterflies are gorgeous. Very nice layout.
very pretty, I love butttrflies and yes simplicity is sometimes more appealing. JSharer417@aol.com
such a pretty project
Pretty , pretty card. I make almost all of my cards using scraps. It's almost like a challenge to myself.
So I just saved up enough to get my Expressions Pink Version and now we have a new machine. Maybe I am old fashion but I like the Expression and taking the time to put everything together. The new machine as easy as it looks takes all the fun out of thinking and creating YOUR OWN work.
Pretty LO. I really am excited that you are showing some things made with the Imagine. However, I do still look forward to the projects with the Expressions. Thanks for all your work!
I love the butterflies and the simplicity of the page. I really think I need to buy this machine....
Another super cute layout.

Oh I am so tempted! I just wish I had the moola. I love the backgrounds and all the elements.
I loooove those colors and the font is so awesome!!
This is very pretty!
It may be more simple than your used to but it is still beautiful!
Wow! Those are some beautiful scraps!
I will likely put this machine on my Christmas list. I'll have to be a very good girl!!!
Keep giving us great ideas.
Love the layout! Those butterflies are so pretty! I also liked at CHA how they used off white papers and kraft papers for different looks as well! Can't wait to see you guys try that!
Love the butterflies and the choice of colors. Hopefully the Imagine will come down in price so I can make the purchase. Would defintiely love to have it, just can't justify the $599.00. Anyway, can you tell me if you can use the other Cricut cartridges with the Imagine?
Oooooohhhhh... I love the butterflies!
Got to love the leftovers, even with the I+. Love it.

Love the butterflies. Yep, I'd probably do the same thing, make a bunch of random stuff then say "what the heck am I going to do with this?" LOL Thanks for sharing. cathy, cmwirt at verizon dot net
Love the layout, great.
Not sure about the new Imagine
to many things to replace all the time.
Leanna
Love the papers you used and of course the pretty little butterflies. Great layout. I like simple. I am still on the fence about the Imagine.
I love this layout. I love how you can customize all of this stuff. Don't have room for an Imagine right now, but once I do I'll probably look into getting one.
Love how you layered the colors and drew on the butterfly "path"!
Verry pretty....I love those butterflies.
Love the LO, but was wondering if the butterflies can be cut w/o the white edging?
Linda A
I just love the butterflies....Thanks for doing the question and answer session on the new Imagine machine. Great Job!
Very cute! I like how easy you say it is to use the Imagine. I'll have to take another look at it.

I like how you added the bent wings to the butterflies. It adds alot off dimention to the page.
love the layout and colors, you always do such a great job!
That's a sweet layout! The butterflies look too perfect and not printed out. Wow!
love the simplicity of the card...
I love it! The background is awesome! I want an Imagine!
Beautiful!
adorable layout.
love all the colors!!!
Thanks for showing us the new machine and answering our questions. Here's one I haven't seen asked/answered:
Have you used non-smooth white cardstock to print or print/cut on? So many of the card stocks now have some bit, even if only a tiny bit of texture, that I'm wondering how the printing looks.
I also want to know how the printing would look on the white side of patterned paper? Have you tried that yet? Curious b/c of the different paper weight, etc.
THANKS again for the projects and fielding our questions!!
Stefanie
Really cute! Thanks for the ideas.
This is absolutely beautiful! I love the blue color and the butterflies.
The LO is simple but so pretty. Loved the colors, the butterflies and the fact that this LO is a real time saver. So glad you are having such fun with your new imagine machine. With all the work you do for us, it needs to be fun too.
That orange and blue just seems to pop! Very pretty.

Very nice!! I love the butterflies! I must admit that I am very overwhelmed; I just got the expression and I still haven't figured everything out yet! Now there is a new one out....Any newbies out there like me?
I love the butterflies! Great page!
You girls have sold me! Now I have to have this machine. Yikes! Great layout. Shari (cricutrookie)

Very Nice layout.. Thanks for sharing with us
What a pretty card! Love the butterflies!!
Nice layout! TFS! :) Kelly candkleo@msn.com
Love the butterflies.
Nice,but I still think I prefer layering to printing.
Very nice! I really like the butterflies.
Those butterflies are just too cute. TFS such a sweet LO, too! I'm really enjoying the Imagine projects, but since I just don't have room for another machine, I'm really looking forward to next week when you get back to the 'regular' Cricut. :-)
TFS
Cheers, Karen

Those butterflies are so great! Tfs and have a great day. :)
Very pretty! Thanks for sharing!
Very pretty! Thanks for the inspiration.
Very cute layout. I love the machine.
Great layout! Love tht bg paper!! :)
Hey ladies, I'm one of those who will probably never buy one of the new ones. Unless my E has a complete melt down and wont cut any more! (OH NO...COULD IT HAPPEN)
The reason is the price. I live on a fixed income,so I must always be cautious with my money.
But I will watch with wonder!
Love it!!! Great colors!
nice card! thanks for a chance to win!

I love the butterflies!! You did a great job matching up the colors!! Thanks again for sharing!

Pretty as always! I love the butterflies... I'm still on the fence about this machine... Hubby gave me the OK to purchase it at Launch but still not sure....Will look at a few more videos before I decide... Thanks for all the Info this week, it has been soooo super helpful.... :o)
"Spread Your Wings" made me very sentimental. My dad used to encourage me by saying, "spread your wings and fly". Thanks for the reminder of a special time in my past.
So pretty! Thank you for sharing.
So pretty! Thank you for sharing.
I love this LO you made even though it was a quick put together, still looks awesome.
I really do love the capabilities of the imagine machine, just cannot justify the cost when I just bought an expression.
pretty layout. I'm not much of a scrapbooker though, more a card maker. Thanks! Candy
Those butterflies are really pretty.
Wonderful layout, but I am also one that will probably not get one. I am not interested at this time and I still love the layering look of the actual cut outs. But then again I said I wouldn't get a Gypsy when they first came out and now I love mine although I only got it a couple of months ago
Nana Donna
what a nice layout! I agree with keeping it simple here. Thanks for sharing!
Liz
Gorgeous! I love butterflies!
That's a beautiful layout; thanks for sharing these creations with us!
As usual pretty awesome card...
I follow all your designs each week and I just love butterflies...
Thanks for sharing great ideas....
then giving the opportunities to win something.. your are the best...keep up the cool work...
Looks great, and I love the "confession" I just got my first cricut a week ago, and have been "playing" around with it, I had a ton of random cut-outs that I ended up just throwing away, I wish I would have tried to "save" them and make something beautiful instead!
I always love your layouts...and this one is no exception...tfs!
What an adorable layout.

Simple yet beautiful & colorful layout. Thanks for sharing.

My two year old granddaughter loves butterflies, ypu just given me a new ideal to make her a card with butterflies on it. Thanks so much for your ideals, keep all new information coming to us. vswaddy620@yahoo.com
Thank you ladies for showing me why I won't be getting this machine. If this machine had been what yaw started with I would not have become a follower. I hate everything about this layout. It looks fake, just like you cut pictures out of a book and glued them on. The cricut gives your pages a great 3d look. I was saving all of yaws project until you started with the imaine, now I delete them to the trash. Really let down with this site right now. In my opinion, provo craft struck out with this machine.
A great LO and using leftovers too! TFS! It's not that I wouldn't LOVE to have the Imagine - the price is just too steep!
jackie
The butterflies are beautiful!
Love it, the cardstock is so pretty and I love the butterflies.
Carie Ledbetter
Nice layout, I can't wait to see this machine in person and the prints up close.
Beautiful layout! Thanks for sharing!
I am getting tempted!
I love the way you can make the butterflies any color you want to. It is so simple it is beautiful. jbgard@hotmail.com
what a beautiful layout! Just love the colors this machine does.

The butterflies are gorgeous. Can they be made on the Expressions?
I like this alot ! Every project I see that you have done makes me want the imagine even more ... Thanks for sharing :)
Oh so pretty. I am so amazed at what this machine can do!
If I could convince my family it is what "they" want for Christmas....
Thanks for another great project-love the colors on the butterflies.
Love the butterflies. So so cute.
Very pretty LO! I love the butterflies.

That is a very nice layout. I like all the colors, so bright.
Super cute..love the Butterflies.
I love the layout.. and of course the butterflies are my favorite.
you gals have me hooked on the imagine, my husband is not going to like me when I tell him that I will be getting this!
Get layout! My question is can we do the combine feature with the original cartridges.
Very nice layout. I love those butterflies. I'm liking the Imagine and the quick time it takes to make a project. :)
Cute layout. I am warming up to the new machine, but still have reservations about the cost of replacing the toner!
The butterflies are very pretty. TFS
What beautiful butterflies!
Wow they look awesome, what a great layout. TFS.
I want the Imagine more and more each day that I see all your posts.
Maybe Santa will bring one for Xmas, I still have a list a mile long of all the Expression cartridges I want, Whats a scrapper to do???
Thanks for all your great info!
