Wow, I'm excited. I just got a cricut from my parents for Christmas! They also bought some papers and craft items to go with it- I'll be set for MONTHS of scrapbooking and crafting. Anyone else have one? Any fun tips to share with me? I am excited to make the lettering for over my door! My mom bought me a pack of the vellum-sticky paper so I can do it. My aunt said she'd give me her Disney cartrages to borrow for a while, since she's not currently using them. I' totally excited!

I love to craft! I have seen the Cricut in the store
but I can't figure out what it is!
What does it do?

Wow, that was a great gift. If you look in the scrapbooking section there is a sticky for cricuts. Have fun with it !

My mil gave me mine in July.. Christmas in July...

I scrapbook and found a hangin file folder case works great.. I put the scraps and 8 1/2 x 11 paper in there according to color. Then when I need it's there.. Very handy.

I bought the little sticker maker to make life easier.. The little things are the hardest. When not using sticky paper, they do make a glue pen that is photo/acid free. That helps too. For the larger things I just use my mini tape runner.

I have several gf that have them to. We trade cartridges all the time. I put address lables on all my stuff. The box, the book and the cartridge. It helps keep them straight.

For traveling with your cricut, I followed someone else. I took all the packing stuff out of the box, then your boxes will stand up beside your machine. As well as you cutting mats. I also take a tv tray with me cropping. It's the perfect little side table for my cricut.

Buying supplies:

Walmart~ cutting mats 2 pk for $8
Creative Memories~ glue pen & mini tape runner
ebay~ used cartridges (why pay $ for new)

Have fun!!
