Wow... back from Chicago and spent Monday catching up on everything! Before I get into the 'meat' of this post... I just want to say THANK YOU not only to ASM Campaigners and Provocraft, but to all the other demonstrators who stopped me and 'thanked' me for my blog! It was so nice to know that so many actually do read my blog and appreciate it! I also want to thank the 'Cricut Mafia' for such a fun weekend... you gals are a hoot! And my forever bff, Angela and new bff, Myrel!
We got a sneak peek at the new Gypsy update that will hopefully be released soon! No date yet... but know this... we saw it working and in action and IT ROCKS! The photos below were taken during our Gypsy training in Chicago (thx Myrel!!) of the gypsy screen that was projected onto a large screen.
FIRST UPDATE: Notice the numbers above and up the side of the virtual 6"x12" mat. They numbered the squares to make it easier for us to place our paper on the mats to coincide with the images on the virtual gypsy mat! LOVE IT!
SECOND UPDATE: Look at the tabs above the screen that are labeled Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4. Those are now the multiple pages and it is difficult to see in these photos, but there is a little eyeball next to each one that allows you to TURN OFF THE TRANSPARENCY so that you don't all the images on all the mats at one time! REALLY LOVE IT!
THIRD (and most important) UPDATE: We will soon have HIDDEN CONTOUR! It was demonstrated and is so cool! You will be able to toggle through an image to select what you want to hide or use your stylus to choose. Notice the heart above and the center swirls... the middle one has been hidden. NOW DOES THAT ROCK OR WHAT!!
This information was given to the 200 plus demonstrators in the Chicago training and we weren't told that it was top secret or anything. We also do not know for sure if it will be in the next HELLO THURSDAY update or not (got my fingers crossed!). But, I for one, am just tickled pink that it is in the works!
I also wanted to quickly add that for those of you who threw away the cardboard inserts that came in your cricut... (like me)... not to worry! Christy suggested bubble wrap because that's what she does. I have updated that post to answer some of the questions I got concerning traveling with your cricut HERE.
Well, that's it for today! I will be featuring WALK IN MY GARDEN for the rest of the week, because it is the theme for our cricut retreat this weekend! Another sold out retreat, it should be really fun! Oh! And I get my Cricut Cake on Thursday! Can't wait for that!
Cricutingly yours,
Tammy

Tammy -That eyeball thingy - is that for preview feature which we have already or is it for the template feature. can we turn the template in each page off? If so I love that greater than hide and contour
Welcome back Tammy,thanks for the info on the next Gypsy update. Looking forward to Saturday SO I can purchase Gypsy A to Z.Looking forward to see what you and Megan have in store for us on the Gypsy. With this new update, maybe Gypsy A to Z is going to have also an update.Just wondering.Enjoy your retreat!!
Tammy, I'm so glad you got back safely and that you had such a good time. I would not have been surprised that so many folks love and follow your blog. You are a wonderful teacher and always bless others with how you share your knowledge. I would love to go to your retreat/class but at 70 will be glad to get to follow you on your blog. ;-) Himm-maybe I should call Michael's or Costo and request you as the teacher her in Oregon. :)
You rock!! Thanks for the info!! Can't wait!
Thanks for sharing!
I am getting closer and closer to purchasing a Gypsy...I have started doing some research and know that these updates are in high demand. How exciting that they might roll out before I make my purchase. Have they given you a schedule yet of where you will be demonstrating? I doubt you would be in my area (FL) but if so I would probably be one of the first in line just to meet you.
Glad to have you back. Cannot wait to see and hear all the goodies you have learned. See you Friday.

Thanks so much for the info....can't wait for the Gypsy update, esp. the hide contour feature. When is the one-touch shadow feature coming??? LOL
Thank you so much for the updates. I am so glad that they added the "square inch" markings - it was a bit difficult to see before.
Did they say if they have or will be fixing the "photo" feature anytime soon? Glad you had a great trip!!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!! I have been waiting for the hidden contor to work on the Gyspy. The other items look awesome as well!!! WOO HOO! I REALLY hope it is on the next update, but like you said at least it is in the works :)!
Well, guess now I will consider buying the Gypsy. The hidden contour feature was my last holdout.--Ryansmaama

Hahaha Tammy we were sitting at the same table and we were wondering if you gals were the provo craft paparazzi! I had never seen your blog before, now the rapid camera flashing makes sense. On the way home a friend that follows you wanted to know if I had met you and then I realized we sat at the same table on Sunday. I had a G question you helped me out, I am the one that made a comment about the photo app and saving pictures of things you want to work on.
Hi Tammy!
I'm Laura Campbell, owner and stamp artist for Layers of Color art stamps. I'm on the hunt for Christian designers for our design team. I noticed your open gospel professing and am in hopes that you would know someone who would be interested in applying for a stamp design team. Send them my way!
Thank you, Tammy! I appreciated your Cricut Challenge blog Faithbooking series!
