[honeypip]

I have Tear Drop and Jasmine

I've only got the George cartridge but would love Tear Drop, Mini Monograms and Doodlecharms. Going to have to start saving up for them though as cant put anything else on my cc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think I'm going to buy the toolkit though, think it will come in very handy.

Looks like the auto-thread could happen tonight!!!!!!!!

My newest and probably therefore fave at the moment is All Mixed Up - the doodlebug font - the function keys are fab on this one...and I just LOVE the font.

think you might be right

Cricut is great, although not out at moment, might have a play in a bit.

But was using it this afternoon and ds came to have a look and he thinks its great too. I put in some DCWV cardstock which has the adhesive on the back and he told me what shapes he wanted and when it had finished cutting he had ready made stickers . Went and got his scrapbook (just contains all his stickers not photos) and stuck them in. Now he thinks its his toy. I told him no its definately mine.

oh, auto-thread be happening any minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now he thinks its his toy. I told him no its definately mine.

Looks like you may have a bit of a fight on your hands now though!

Viv

can you use the DCWV adhesive backed cardstock with the cricut? i would've thought it may hinder the blades performance. if its recommended than i'd better get some

[mummygina]

still no sign of the auto-thread LOL

Viv

No fight, its mine all mine and he's only 4

Gina, to be honest I put the adhesive cardstock in by mistake and it was only when I removed the mat did I realise. It didnt cut right through, left the backing and I could take the shapes off really easy. I think the blade is ok, didnt struggle when cutting anyway

Hi, I have the George cart (obv), tags/bags/boxes (which I absolutely love!), awaiting Opposites Attract & Doodlecharms from the US! Next year may buy 'New Arrivals'. Originally I thought this cart was a bit limited but when I've had a good look it's quite good as not really just about babies - there are teddies/car/train etc which would be good for kiddie cards etc.

Have to say I am most excited about the Doodlecharms cart though as I think it covers all scenarios so I think I'll get loads of use out of it!

Also, slightly off topic - I don't have the tool kit but am thinking of buying as I think it will help get the paper off the mat easier - anyone else find this?

Wish we could set up a Cricut los thread but know we can't after asking sooner.

[cheryl1409]

I'd like the toolkit too Hopejack - think the scrapper will be brilliant for removing paper/cardstock. I'm trying not to touch the mat too much as want the mat to last as long as possible.

Think I'll be buying the toolkit, spare mats from our favourite seller on that auction site. Might just buy a cartridge too and I love the look of Doodlecharms. Think we'll be eating beans on toast after Christmas!!!!!!!!!!
