Well good morning everyone. I trust you had a GREAT week and are ready for a very different Gypsy Made Simple this morning. Well in the past couple of videos I made many many people noticed that I use my Kindle Fire to keep my cartridge books on. Well I had a ton of emails requesting instruction on how I installed them on the Kindle Fire. You see I have all the carts in their boxes put away like all good Gypsy owner do. But that leaves us with yearning for those books especially with the intricate cuts so that is is easy for me to see how they look and have some instructions too for those times I am not quite sure of what I should do. Well this is what today is about learning to load those carts onto your Kindle Fire with ease. So like every Gypsy Made Simple Saturday, go grab a cup of coffee and let's get started. Oh the Elmo's Party is because I feel like celebrating the summer and want to have a little blog candy... but we can talk about that later, so on to today's video.Now wasn't that easy... remember though it won't let you put the folder in so open the folder and just highlight the books and drag to the document folder and you are all set.
Now let's get on with the BLOG CANDY!!! This is such a fun little cart and I know someone will just love to have it in their cartridge library. So all you need to do is leave a comment. I will then use random.org to pick a winner from comments made by 4:00PM 7/27, and the winner will be announced early Saturday morning.

I've been thinking of buying a Kindle for a few months now. you just made my decision a lot easier! Thanks Sheila for an amazing lesson that I didn't know you could do!!!

Oh My Sheila now I have to have a fire, but I also am wanting an I pad so Im just waiting to see which comes frists. LOL thanks for the video. Love watching them every saturday morning.
GreT tip! I use my books all the time so this would be a big help!
Awesome! Now I NEED a kindle fire!!!
Great video. I have a Motorola Zoom. I don't have my cart handbooks on it. But if I did, do you have to be connected to to WIFI to access your handbooks?
Can you make a video for us NOOK owners? Or, are you aware of one already?
I never wanted a Kindle, now I think I need one. I love your video's, because of you I use my Gypsy all the time and get braver and braver everyday.
Thanks for all your help

You should sell Kindle Fire. Honestly, now I want one! I loved your video-- not only was it very easy to understand how to do this, but it was really fun to hear your voice and it felt like we were sitting down at the craft table together. :)
This is great! Thank you for sharing that info. I love your tutorials. Keep on keeping us in the know!

Hi Shiela,
I don't have a Kindle Fire but I use my Ipad in the same way, put all my books and cartridges away and it gives you so much room in your craft space. Love all the help you give me with my Gypsy just hope you continue with your videos.
Thank You,
Doreen
Thank you so much for making this tutorial - your instructions were simple and clear and will save me so much time searching through the books as well as time! Thanks also for the giveaway - so nice of you:) Have a great weekend.
this is great! I know what I want for Christmas now, lol.
This looks like such a easy way to look through cart books with ease. Thanks for sharing! If I get a kindle I will now know how to load the booklets. Thanks for the chance to win. :)

I just purchased an Ipad today and as soon as I get re-energized I'm going to open the box! Can't wait to put my handbooks on it. Right now I can put them on my iPhone, but really, who has young enough eyes for that? I believe you need to download the Adobe app on your Fire to put the handbooks on it. At least that's what I saw on okieladybug.com. Thanks, Sheila.
I agree Sheila it is much easier to access the books I have mine on my iPad ,
I have mine on my iPad such a great way to look at the books
Such a great idea mine are on my iPad.
Thanks Sheila, I just recently learned how to do this myself. It's very handy.

Never thought about using the Kindle Fire for this. Great idea. Thanks
Love that you can load these on Kindle.
Thanks for sharing Sheila! I do this with my Nook tablet. I also scanned the books that aren't showing in the library. For instance, Locker Talk is not in the library so I scanned into my computer and then downloaded to my Nook so I could have them all:)
Thanks for the tutorial, I now have all my books on my kindle and it took less than 15 minutes....fast and easy!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a great cart. I have been wanting these characters. Hope I win.

Thanks for sharing the instructions. I'll have to figure out how to do it with my Galaxy or HP tablet. H-mmm. You really do make me think - good thing you also have me drinking coffee with all this thinking! We just celebrated BOTH our grandchildren's birthdays, so that Elmo cartridge would be a WONderful addition to my collection. Thanks for the opportunity to win it.
Thanks so much for sharing this video. It will help so many people.
FYI many of the cartridge handbooks that are not in the Cricut library can be found if you go to the shopping page, find that cart, click on it and scroll down to its info. You can click on where it says digital handbook or trifold, etc to view those.
Thanks for the chance for blog candy. I have a sweet tooth.

Thanks so much for the info. I don't have a Kindle. But have been debating on getting one. This makes me want one. I would love to have my books at the touch of my fingers. Also thanks for the chance at winning :)
Thank you for all your help. I have enjoyed all your tutorials. I learned things from you about the gypsy that makes designing easier.
Thank you for showing thatI learn something know everday Cant wait to try it.
Makes me want to update to a Fire. Wish there was a way to do this on an iPad.

I love that idea. I already have the books on my computer but I don't own a Kindle. Maybe it should be on my wish list.

What a great idea! I have the Nook. Is it possible to put the cart books on the Nook? I am very computer illiterate :(

Oh my! I have the kindle fire but had no idea that I could load the cart handbooks on it. I hated looking through 100+ boxes to find the handbook I needed and the image is so small on the gypsy that I had a hard time finding what I wanted. This is genious! Thank you so much for another useful "gypsy made simple". You are the BEST!

Thank you for the tute.Well now i want one of those kindle fire even more.
You're gonna LOVE having your cart manuals on an iPad!!! I did that with mine, and it's so nice to be able to browse them wherever I happen to be! I find that I do more preplanning for scrapbook pages and cardmaking since I can use my iPad to look at the manuals rather than having to tote around all those little books! Have fun with your iPad! (And yes, it's easy to install the cart manuals on an iPad.)
Great information! Love your Gypsy Made Simple posts! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for a chance to win the Elmo cart.

Thanks so much for the tutorial, I'm going to have to give this a shot!

I don't have a Kindle, but I did the same thing to my IPhone. It's just great to be able to view all the carts! By the way, thanks soo much for your Gypsy tutorials - you're the best! Most other tutorials speed through the steps and I get lost, but yours are just perfect!
I have been thinking of updating to the kindle fire & now I have one more good reason! Thanks for the tutorial.

I have all of my carts on my Kindle Fire. I like how I can look at the layers while designing with the Gypsy. I also use the Kindle Fire when I am trying to put layered projects together. Thanks for the tutorials! You do a great job.
Thanks Sheila, I was wondering how to do this. I have a Fire, now I must install all my files.
Mylene
You always make the greatest tutorials! I dont have a Kindle but loved seeing how to do this!

You are one fantastic lady!!! Thank you so much for addressing our request. After dinner, I'm going to sit down with the Fire and your video and get to downloading.
You totally rock, my friend.
Many, many hugs to you.

Thanks for the tutorial. Now I have to purchase a Kindle Fire so I can put all my handbooks on it. I think I will request one for my birthday, which is July 30. TFS
Now... I thought I was just so clever when I realized that I could put my books on my tablet via adobe files, but wow! It would have been so much easier then what I went thought if I had a kindle fire! Hee! Hee! They are all there and it's wonderful! I don't have to get on the ladder to get my cartridge book and I love that I can keep all of my magazines on there too with such a small footprint on my work table. Sure beats the laptop with the 17" screen. Hee! Hee! Wonderful idea!
Wow! How cool is this!! Thanks for sharing such valuable information!!
Thank you for sharing how do to do this. :) I might have to do this. :)
Thanks for a chance at winning a great looking cartridge. Elmo always looks great on cards. (even with certain adults in my life...haha)
