cricut love: stretch your imagination

so. i've already written out my cartridges posts...then I bought scal. so bear with me through the cartridges and then we will get down and dirty with scal.

This is one of my first cartridge and i highly recommend it. It has a little of everything. Baby, wedding, holiday, seasons. kind one stop shopping cartridge.

it does all sorts of cute things..but one of my favs is the cards!

you could just cut the card...but they also do a boarder too...

this spring is from this cartridge also!

cute school bus card

the frame has the leaves....love that!

and the waves! too cute! If you are a mad card maker you need this one!

Here are some projects i have made using it:

my daughters 1 year old invitations! (this is before I blogged...so the pictures are less than par!)

the branch is done this one

the baby stroller (this is in my etsy shop fyi)

it's got the paisleys

from this project (that I ripped off and put on my canisters)

Glendie's goodies

she used the hello kitty font cartridge.

and did you see the cute table icandy made (on ucreate)

she used her gypsy and cricut to cut out the image!

ALSO: 

go check out this party for loads of awesome ideas!

AND...I've added a sidebar post

click on what cutter you have...or would buy. you know...just for funnsies.

I thought it would be awesomesauce (word of the day) to do a post all about the pros and cons of all the cutters...

but I only own one.

so I can only do pros and cons of the cricut...

BUT my twitter friend (and now blog friend lyssa) told me she did one about the silhouette and ecraft (after her cricut died)

so go HERE to read it....cause i've never even heard of ecraft (cricut bubble)

and it sounds like awesomesauce (thats two)

Here's my pros and cons about the cricut:

pros. i like the name.

um...they go on sale for cheap.

cons: cartridges are expensive

mats can get expensive

now you can't get scal or mtc so basically you have to buy the cartridges.

(if you have a cricut and no scal...make sure you buy it before the 27th of you are gonna be upacreek.)

crap. okay. to be honest. love my cricut...(hence the cricut love posts) but (big butt) I probably would buy a silhouette if I was starting from scratch here.

shh.don't tell the grasshopper.

so sad.

oh. thought of another pro....people are going to be getting rid of their cricuts to upgrade so you could probably buy cartridges for cheap!!!!

 if you have a pro or con about a cutter...leave me a comment!

now...remember you can buy scal HERE...and it's compatible with Craftwell eCraft™, Black Cat Cougar/Lynx™, Boss Kut Gazelle™, Pazzles Inspiration™, Silhouette SD™, USCutter

yeah...no clue what the h some of these are.

did you see this ADORABLE project (crafterhours on sugar bee)

the scrapping table has a dingbat of states

you can hook it up and cut out your little state.....so cool!
