Do any of you have a Cricut? Is it easy to use, and is it worth the cost? It looks really cool- I saw it on QVC the other night, and plan to go to a scrap day at Michael's next week, and I was going to check it out. Opinions please! Thanks!

i was shocked when i saw it on tv especially qvc. i know michaels and joanns are only getting 7 of them a month. the company cant keep up with demand.

when i saw it on qvc i thought maybe they got things under control and can handle how the market is.

i want one. i heard they are so easy to use and make scrapping a lot easier to do.

What is it? I'll google it. I am new to all the "features" in scrapbooking. I ussually DoItMyself- Okay, I looked. Is it like a printer that makes all those diecuts and papers that look like stickers? Is it worth it? I would think that buying it for a good discount would be more economical (and fun)

I have one and despite alot of prolems others have had mine has been great. I havve also heard that if you do have a proble PC customer service is the best ever! When I first got mine it took about 10/15 minutes to set up and then I was on my way!!! I haven't done a page without using it yet! Any questions fire away!

I've been thinking about getting one. Is it worth the money? What diecuts come with the machine? Is it hard to find the extra diecuts. It looks like it would save lots of time.

It has 12 cartrages right now. It comes with George and Basic Shapes....my FAV! There's soooo much you can do on just that one! There are 6 font cartriages, and 6 just have die cuts, like xmas, Doodlecharms(awesome) animals, tags, boxes and more! There is speculation of 3 or 4 more due out in fall. I buy my stuff at Michael's and use the 40% off coupon. However I just heard today they are soon not going to allow the coupon on ANY cricut stuff! I have never had an issue finding what I need there though! You can go to www.cricut.com and find a wealth of info thee too! They have close ups of all the carts, and what they can do!

I just bought my Cricut on Sunday and I love it!! I only have the cartridge that came with it but I will get more the next time Michael's has a 40% off coupon.

my sister got one the other day at michael's for less than $120.00! she participated in the demonstration so well that two women were convinced to buy the cricut and my sister answered as many questions as the demonstrator! after it was over, the manager offered her a job and a $50 michael's bucks card to use if she bought the cricut that day. so she did--and even used her %40 off coupon! she turned down the job, though
