Smile I'm so excited! (Cricut)

I have the sweetest husband! I've been wanting a Cricut machine for a long time, but I just couldn't justify spending that much money. Well, today he came home from work early and brought me a Cricut machine! He's the greatest!
Now ladies who have a Cricut...which cartridges are a "must have"?

Hey Tami! I, too, have the greatest hubby! I got mine for my birthday last month along with four other cartridges. My favorite so far is Base Camp. I'm asking for Gift Cards to Mike's for Christmas, so that I can have all of them eventually:mrgreen:

I have 6 so far, but have barely had time to use it. However, I love Mini Monograms. You can make scallop circles and squares, dotted and stiched alphabets, etc!! Way cool.

Tags, Bags, and Boxes is my favorite by far. But, I make a lot of "gifty" type things.
I have 6 of them and use it the most. They do have 6 others coming out and the floral and baby ones are on my Christmas list!

Enjoy, your new toy!

It's basically a die cut machine, but it does so much more. Its a cartridge-based system that allows you to cut thousands of beautiful shapes, letters, and phrases in a variety of sizes and styles with just the touch of a button. Here's a link to learn more about it www.cricut.com

Woo-hoo for you! My best friend's husband bought her one a couple of weeks ago, and I like it so much, I "accidentally" won one on e-bay (honestly figured I'd be outbid, but I won!). I should get it in the next week or so - I can't wait. I've ordered Mini Monograms (I think I'm going to love that one) and Tags, Boxes, and Bags (I can see that being very useful). At least Santa knows what to get me for Christmas now!

I got Doodletype cuz I ordered from QVC and I really like it... but I also have the birthday one... think it's called Celebrations... I used it this weekend at a retreat... with SU cardstock successfully! I made two VERY cute pages... So it is a favorite for me.

I love my Cricut and think the Bags, Tags cartridge is a must for demonstrators! You can make the petal box just the right size to hold an incentive stamp. I use it for door prizes all the time.
My neighbor was hinting to her husband that she wanted one for Christmas.
He found a place online and bought ALL the cartridges and got the Cricut FREE. I'm sure it was atleast $1000 for all 12 cartridges. Merry Christmas!
