thankyouverymuch
Jon's mom just got a Cricut and let me borrow it. She owns her own crafty business where she will use this machine, but I have often wondered how much the regular person would feel the need to die cut...so much where they have to buy a $200 machine. On top of that, buy the cartidges for extra die cuts at $90 a pop. (I think these are the average prices anyway. I just Google'd it and the prices greatly vary) People go crazy for this stuff too. They have the cartridges under lock and key at Michael's and on one of my last visits, I overheard people feverishly asking the employees when they would get the Disney Cricut cartridge back in stock. Regardless, I welcomed to opportunity to spend the weekend with the thing, see what all the hype was all about, be crafty and cut stuff. And cut stuff is what I did.
I had bought some blank note cards at Micheal's a while ago in their dollar bins and I decided to spice them up with the help of some leftover paper I had and the Cricut. I will be having to thank people a lot in the near future, so I figured thank you cards would be a wise choice. I made 60 of these babies.

Very cute! It's funny you mentioned this. I got sucked in to the Cricut infomerical this weekend. I was amazed and even wanted one!! Too bad I'm not much of a scrapbooker.
It IS a pretty cool machine...I just don't get spending that much money on something like that unless you own a business where you are going to make money off of it.
I totally want a Cricut!! I see the infomercials in the wee hours of the morning when I'm feeding Cooper and it looks awesome! On the infomercial, it says that you get an extra cartridge with the Cricut, so you get 2 of them. I wondered if it worked as well as it looked like it did on tv. So, it does?
Yes, it comes with 2 cartriges - one with a standard font and some standard shapes...the other is a sampler of different words, holiday shapes, etc. There are a lot of cutting options, but I am sure if you bought the machine, you would want to buy more cartriges.
Yes, it works really well! I am sure I could bring it in on one of the weekends in June so you can try it out.
I always see the commericals for this! I'm a huge scrapbooker but haven't wanted to spend the money on this....i'll have to keep thinking about it.
I am a bit of a craft nut and love to get immerse in the latest scarpbooking fiasco. I too was annoyed by the hype over these ridiculously priced gadgets..although after using them a few times, I could see myself being the next addict. Restraining myself has been tough.
SOOOO CUTE!!! Which part did you use the cricut for?
I used the cricut for the speech bubbles and the "thanks"
These look great. Awesome job. I H-A-T-E cutting.
My mom got one of those for Christmas a few years ago. Now I get very crafty Christmas cards... Actually, I get Valentine's Day cards, Thanksgiving, Easter, even Flag Day cards. She's obsessed, but I can't blame her. Heck, if I had one of those, I'd be stuffing mailboxes too!
