I saw lots of good black friday deals and I wanna treat myself, but I don't know what to get.


they didn't have a huge selection, but I am really happy with what I got. I got

Art Nouveau - I know I probably won't use it as much as some of the others, but I LOVE art nouveau and I just couldnt pass it up.
Teresa Collins Sophisticated
Free Jubilee for being one of the first 25 people (I think I was the first actually) to buy 2 cartridges.

Sentimentals. - but Im thinking of returning the sentimentals. it wasnt one of the ones on sale for 26.99, it was only 19.99, which I don't know how good of a deal that is. Also, I didn't think about it, but the 30% off coupon wasn't good on Cricut (even though the ad made it look like it was) so I ended up spending more than I hoped. So, feel free to talk me out of returning it

older cartridge: Happy Haunting


newer cartridge: Paper Lace 2



These are my favorite as of this week... Next week my answer might change. Lol.

Love them all but I just used the Create a Critter (great turkey!) for a project. It was sooo much fun!


Here is a link: http://www.acherryontop.com/gallery_vie ... ,0,,151619

Probably 2 of my most used are Sentimentals (love that it has a bee and beehive) and Storybook...love the font and some other designs. there is another font cartridge that I like that i think is called Cuttin up ( i can't remember off of the top of my head)

My least used cartridge is wild card....i just am never happy with the results from it.


My newest one is Art nouveau....another awesome bee in it (noticing a theme yet ) I havent used it yet..but once again i liked the designs in it.


Michaels is doing some kind of special if you buy 2 cartridges you get the jubilee cartridge free (but it's limited to like the first 25 people or something like that)

this is the bee/hive combo from Sentimentals ( i tried to cut stamps using the cricut material...not sure i'm overwhelmed with them.
this is the font from story book...


I totally forgot about A Childs Year....even though I don't have kids i love these designs and they can be used for all kinds of cards etc.

Happy shopping..and let us know which ones you get!!!!!!!!!

Old school, I know, but I tend to use Plantin School cartridge the most.

Thats a tough one because there are so many that I like and use alot! I like paper lace and I also use ribbons& rosettes and sentimentals alot!

Elegant Edges, Sophisticated & Flower Shoppe, and an older one I use a lot is Graphically Speaking.

thanks so much ladies!!!
I hope they have a good selection. Im going to micheals at 4pm today, hoping to get 2 carts and a free jubilee one. wish me luck!

Have fun and good luck. Wish I had a micaels near by, the closest one is 5 hours away, don't think I will make there sale. You will have to let us know what you got.

I will! I wouldn't go if I were you either! lol! I guess it's good to have one nearby, but I would prefer a LSS. I usually don't find anything I want at Micheals or ACMoore.

I love Cindy Loo!

I just doubled my number of cricut cartridges

I put the list in the first post.

Yay! You got a good deal from what I've seen out there.


Art Nouveau and Teresa Collins Sophisticated are 2 of the carts on my Christmas wishlist! Awesome that you got a free Jubilee!!!


Sentimentals is one of the first carts I bought when I got my Cricut. I love the designs on that cart! I think $19.99 is a good deal for a full cartridge since they usually don't go lower unless you win one for a super great price on ebay.

Well if it's enough to convince you to keep it...I paid around $35 bucks for mine...so i say keep it... Did you go to cricut's site and look at the images on it? that might help you decide. BTW...cricut stuff is always excluded from the sales.

I went in for the deal yesterday I got "sophisticated" and "boys will be boys" plus the free Jubilee I was #11 at my store, I am pretty excited It has been a while since I got a new cart! I didn't even know the TC one was out till I was at M's

awesome! I heard good things about the boys will be boys one.

FYI - the art nouveau one - has minimum recommeded cut sizes on most of the items, and the 'ladies' are 8"!!! I was a little disappointed at that. I just cut a 7.5 inch one for my daughter as a test and it worked ok, but Im sure 8 would work better. like they say - lol

I noticed that it has the recommended sizes as well.....however it took me about 20 mins to figure out what it was.LOL little slow sometimes.
