Due to my love of scrapbooking, I feel the need to share information with you about this wonderful new tool I have acquired, known as "Cricut". Technically, it belongs to my two girls, since it was a gift from "Santa". They have used it a great deal since Christmas and I have a feeling it will continue to have many hours of use for a long time to come. It is a digital cutting machine which you can program to cut letters, shapes, designs, etc. using different cartridges. You simply insert the cartridge and template, tell it what size you would like and press cut! It is very user friendly. My kids learned how to use it completely on their own. So far, we have used the Cricut Expression cutting machine to make school projects and posters, greeting cards, scrapbooking - the list is endless. I would say that the only downside is that each cartridge is quite costly as they range in price from $40 to $80 each! Two cartridges come with the machine, a font cartridge and home designs cartridge. You can purchase the Cricut Expression at A.C. Moore, Michaels or Walmart. The best part is, 3 of my best girlfriends own a Cricut too, so we can share the cartridges!!
