I think we should share some of our Cricut projects to get more ideas on how to use our cartridges. ANyway, just wondering who out there has a cricut or an expression and what carts they have?

me but i only cut out 2 names so far lol i don't have time to use it yet lol

[judybob1]

I have one and am totally addicted to it!!  I'm getting the Deisgn Studio and Stretch Your Imagination for Christmas.  I've done some cool things but don't have any pictures of them.................I've found taking classes is the best way to learn if you have them available.  I also learn a TON from the Cricut message board!!  Check that out!!

I have the original Cricut.  I wanted the bigger one but decided the original was just fine.  I use mine all the time.  I have 12 cartridges so far.  Christmas is coming and all my family knows I want more cartridges....espcecially DH.

I have one, and the George that come with it.  I think hubby is getting me some for Christmas as there is a place I found that if you order 4 you get them for 27.00.  Well they have some to pick from that is.

My fingers are crossed for Christmas.I've been a good girl and I am hoping to get one...

I have some Christmas cards in the gallery I made with Christmas Cheer. 

[shanierae]

Yeah!  I want to get that cartridge but I am going to wait until spring or summer and buy it on ebay when it's going for much less I am headed over to the gallery to take a look!

Just got one for my birthday this weekend!    Such a happy girl! 

[scrapchick72]

LOL, yup, I think as far as fonts go, my favorite is Jasmine.  As for other ones, I'd have to say either Christmas Cheer or Tags, Bags & More.  I found that Mini Monograms is somewhat hard to use, my letters never cut right when they are in the circle pattern.  I always wind up ripping them instead of them coming out easier.  I've tried the suggestions from the website as far as changing the dials but nothing seems to work...it seems to only happen when I am using bazzill or heavier cardstock.  Frustrating.

[scrapchick72]

P.S. scrapaway, where do you find them for $27?  I'd sure love to visit that site.    Can you PM it to me?  PLEASE????

[shanierae]

Thanks SO much for the information becuz I just bought the mini mono's and I will sure be exchanging it now<THANKS!!!!!!!!!

I believe that since ACOT does not sell these, I can post this information here, so that anyone who wants to they can check it out.  If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will let me know as soon as I hit the sent button. http://www.creativexpress.com/shop/home ... t=2199it's not all carts, but they do have some good deals.Then here is something else that you might be interested inhttp://www.cricut.com/get1free/ Also do you know about the free trial download of the software:http://www.cricut.com/promotions/CricutDesignStudio/

I got one for the theatre at Wal-Mart on black Friday.  So far I have made a volunteer board for the theatre and a bulletin board at the school where we are doing a huge project with African Folktales with Pre-K through 6th graders.  The one at theatre turned out ok but the one at the school really turned out great.  I used Animal Kingdom.  So far I have these cartridges:Animal KingdomMy CommunityKeystone alphaGeorge AlphaJasmine AlphaI really want the new Locker Talk because it has the comedy/tragedy masks and a movie slate.  I'll try to get a pic of the African board next week when we begin our project.
