Cricut machine
#11
I have one and bought my daughter the newer model for Christmas this year. Walmart has a nice group of cartridges for $39. Another great place is www.craft-e-corner.com. Good prices and never charge shipping and handling. I buy most of my cartridges and supplies from them.

I get my cartridges at walmart now. When I first got my machine, they were $80 and up. I got a few off ebay too. It's a neat machine to have. My daughter ran for fair princess last summer and she made her banner with that. Hers looked so professional compared to the other kids' banners. She cut out a ton of starts and layered them in red white and blue paper. It was awesome and it lasted through the whole parade in the rain....lol. That was some good scrapbooking paper.

I also have MTC (and SCAL2 also-it's a similar program). I also buy too many cartridges but I've been able to almost quit after getting MTC. Lettering Delights' website has a ton of cute graphic sets to use with it.

She will adore that Cricut. I have one and used it when I was scrapbooking. Now, I will be using it for quilt patterns. I have an idea for a wall hanging that will include a pine tree, ocean wave and mountains. I'll cut the patterns with my Cricut.

She will love the cricut. I bought the little one and then invested in the Expression so I could cut bigger sizes. It
makes scrapbooking so easy and fun. I recommend getting 2 mats so you can swap out. They last a long time.

I love my circuit and use it a lot. I second the folks who say buy one of the programs that let you cut things that are not on the cartridges. I have scal-2 and have found lots of free files on the net. I also use the zig pen ( adhesive) to re-stick my mats and find it works well. If you are going to cut fabric start a new blade and then keep it for fabric only.
Alsosecond the e-bay suggestion for cartridges as are often much cheaper.
