Crop challange 3

crop event

 this is a card for a sweet 16 and the middle part of the flower are actual embellishments and this is from the Forever Young cartridge I do everything using either the gypsy or the Cricut Craft room so I don't remember actual sizes.   I embossed the red and white cardstock with my cuttlebug.  This was a crafty weekend!

Valentine card for my son's teacher

The flowers I attempted to flock using the Martha Stewart flock

This was a box that my son had to decorate to put all his valentine cards in 

Some things I've made

This was for one of my son's friends she turned 7 and decided to make something along with the gift I purchased I think it came out nice, The castle was using Once Upon a Princess cartridge , the paper is DCWV Once upon a time stack.  And the big butterfly $1 @ Michael's  and the flower embellishments were from Hobby Lobby.  I was going to personalize it and etch the girl's name but I decided to just keep it simple because I'm just getting started in all this crafting stuff and didn't want to get overwhelmed by my many floating ideas.  I think the castle I cut it (using glittered paper) at 8 or 8 1/2 in.  using the Cricut craft room (CCR).

First heat transfer ever

Ok this is my test drive wanted to personalize some blouses as Christmas gifts so this is using Expressions vinyl and using the Cindy Loo Cartridge on a simple $4 Walmart kids blouse Lauren is my daughter's name and it's a flocked vinyl

Help

I just bought the Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge and when I put it in my E2 it doesn't load I just get the hour glass symbol and the E2 start up logo I put another cartridge in and loaded fine but this one won't does things like this happen at times with the E2 or did I get a defected cartridge?
