Halloween Mini Album/Shaped Card

Bought the Close To My Heart CTMH Artbooking Cricut cartridge & rcvd it. I figured I had upgraded my Gypsy earlier this year and would be able to link the cartridge to my Gypsy with no problems. My Gypsy was not current. Tried over the weekend to upgrade my Gypsy. It kept pausing indicating 'Looking for Gypsy.' I restarted it several times and got different errors each time. Finally was able to upgrade Mon morn & link the cartridge. There were 7 updates since I had done the last upgrade.

Made this Clean & Simple CAS Mini Halloween Album or Shaped Card; however you want to look at it, using the Artboking Cricut cartridge. It has 3 parts to it: front, inside & back. Each of the 3 parts have a layer cardstock. Front is orange cardstock layered over black cardstock. Inside is orange cardstock layered over yellow cardstock. Back is black cardstock layered over gray cardstock. Front is stamped with a Hero Arts Days to Celebrate stamp. Black/white & orange/white twine is added threaded thru a black button. Threading the twine thru the button was the hardest part.
