i've been lusting after this for at least a couple of years.
and when i finally decided to drop the $$ on it, i went for the big Cricut (pronounced like cricket)
and i splurged for the bundle which came with 4 cartridges.
yeah, i spent a lot of money, but i will definitely use it a lot.
(plus, i got it for half price!)
i still have plenty of scrapbooking to do and i can probably use this in my other projects.
i haven't really had a chance to play with it much, not enough time.
just trying to get a feel for all the different options.
what's really great about this machine compared to the Sizzix,
is the ability to make the shapes/letters in various sizes.
(which is what sold me on the machine the 1st place)
plus, it seems to have become more popular than the Xyron electronic die cutter.
(which i also have, but have had some issues with and no new books have been made for it recently)
i look forward to spending a lot of money buying new cartridges.
however, i will wait until they are on sale.
:D
