Can you provide the link to this guide, please? I looked through all of your videos and I could not find it. I even 'searched' for it and for a brief moment something popped up with the title but just as quickly as it popped up, it disappeared. I agree with some of the other comments, you've got great info, but it is difficult to follow along for a newbie. I think because I'm trying to follow but am distracted by your thoughts, rearranging, working through it yourself. It would be really cool if you re-posted this video but instead of you speaking as you think and process and create, you do a voice-over. What I mean is as you watch it, you describe what you're doing in terms of the technical aspects. I.E. when you show us how to add a shape and change it, you explain just the technical aspect. In this video you are moving your mouse around quickly, slicing, duplicating, etc. many times, all the while/each move you are saying what you're doing...but if you were to do a voice over you could spend more time explaining the process once even though you're doing it several times. Am I making any sense? Sorry, I know for you experienced Cricut users this all seems elementary, but if people are going to post instructional videos than they should try and imagine the first day they tried the machine. There are lots of videos out there, and bless you all for trying to help us newbies because Cricut's own videos lack specifics, but it's the basics, the little details that newbies do not know. I'm not trying to be critical, you put on a fairly professional video, you sharing your knowledge and expertise is very much appreciated...God knows us newbies need all the help we can get. I've watched more than 50 Cricut videos and your is by far the best so far...I just wish you could take it down a notch and go basic - beginner mode. :-) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Melody Lane...attending your live classes sounds perfect for me! What time do you air them? Also, please know, it is not my intention to be critical, as I previously stated, your videos are quite good. You do a good job including explanations and such. There are so many videos that claim to be for beginners, but they really are not. I've been looking for the steps or level of information that comes after the "out of the box" videos. So often I get lost because of terminology...contantly rewinding and/or pausing while I go look something up so that watching the current makes more sense. One of the things that keeps me confused, is the quick advancement and production of the machines. People who have known about and/or owned Cricuts for a while are aware of the changes, but to me, it's a blur. As a trainer who often covers the same info multiple times, I am fully aware how hard it is to keep the interests of people from multiple levels of knowledge...so, I am definitely not trying to critique...but I thought I'd ask for more detialed help - never know until you try, right? Anyhew, I look forward to catching some of your live classes. I've been looking for local classes, but none of the local craft stores offer anything on cutting, yet...keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again. Happy Cricuting!!!
