Well, I have never done it until now: I bid on the same cartridge on eBay twice and won them both! (The old memory ain't what she used to be!) Anyway, instead of trying to re-sell one, I decided to give it away!
I wanted this cart for quick Imagine cards and shrink film projects and the images are perfect for those projects! Old-fashioned, retro, quirky... so unlike other Imagine carts... but I only need one for Pete's Sake!!!
This is a new, unused, unopened, still-in-the-clamshell cartridge that I purchased from taymeag2010 (which is actually Provo Craft on eBay!) Obviously, since it is unopened, it is unlinked and contains a rewards certificate. So, if you want a chance to win this cartridge, just leave a comment on this blog post with a way to contact you. That's it! If you like my blog and want to follow, you can (I would love it!), but it is not required. I will draw for a winner next Monday, May 7, 2012.
So, since I had two of these, I did a few quick projects with the one I am keeping to show off some of the sweet illustrations and papers!
Cute designs, huh? There are lots more patterns, images, and icons on this cart.
For these note cards, I simply used the Christmas card from the "Ready-to-Make Projects", sized to 8" and edited to exchange for the patterns I liked. Then I simply chose art work I liked and sized it to 2.7". I used a bone folder and ATG to fold the cards and assemble the envelopes. I popped the images up 1/16".
Thank you for checking my blog today! Don't forget to leave a comment if you want a chance to win this cart!

Ok I don't like to admit it but I have done that once too. It is sweet of you to a giveaway for it. This is one I don't have and would not mind getting. Thanks for a chance to win one!
Very generous of youto do this giveaway! I don't have an Imagine, but I have an E2 and haven't tried an Imagine cart in it yet - this would be a fun one to have!
I haven't seen this cart but it looks so interesting. Reminds me of the old school days with Dick & Jane books. I would like this to go along with the Kate & Nate Carts for the Kids pages.

Have been following you by e-mail for,a few weeks, and really enjoy your blog. I accidentally won the Superman cart on eBay. My bid was soooo low, I never thought it would stand, but it did. Anyway, thanks for the chance to win The Good Old Days cart. Looks like fun. I have an E2 AE, so I am interested to see how the images will tuen out as just cuts with no printing. Hope you are having a crafty day!
OOh, how I would love that cartridge! I have been looking for it in stores, but haven't seen it out, yet. The designs look really fun, as I love the retro-style of Kate's Kitchen. Good luck to all, and congratulations to who ever wins! BethAnn M. bmarczak2atverizondotnet

OMG!! I so would LOVE to win this cart. It IS on my B-Day list. The pic w/ the gal in her swimsuit that has her hands on her knees, my Mom had a pic of her just like that from her late teens, IN that same position!!! Unfortunately tho, she lost the only copy in the horrendous fires in Southern California in 2003. I love all the images on this cart but that one specifically tugs at my heart!!
Good Luck to all who entered!!!!

I am new to the Cricut, I bought the Expression, still learning it, however, I am enjoying it so far. I am the proud owner of four cartridges so far and sure that many more will find their way into my cart when I am on my JoAnn's stock up buying spree.
Nadia, your cards with that cart are just too delightful!
Good luck to your winner!
I love your blog! I have been wanting this cart for a long time.
I love coming over to your blog and checking out all the neat stuff that you have made! I've had my eye on this one since it came out and your cards that you have made with it are so cute. Your sweet to give one away to a lucky person. :)
Oh, I would love to win this cart! That has happened to me before where I bid on two of the same item. Or where I already had the cart and bought it again! Anyways, Thanks for the chance to win!
