cricut love--the craft room, fonts and a backstabbing surprise!

let's chat.

Cricut craft room.

heard of it?
 well. it's new (ish) so maybe not.

but it's pretty darn awesome....and FREE. (it's actually alot like the cricut design studio we talked about last cricut love post)  but FREE. and did i mention it was free?

you know..i just knew provocraft was going to come up with something... i mean they HAVE too to compete with other cutters.

alright: let's get down to business:
the pros and cons!

Pro: it has every cartridge provo craft EVER made. ever.
Con: you can only CUT with the ones you have (you can design with them all though)

Pro: it will weld, stretch, turn, basically anything my scal does.

Pro: you can link up your cartridge one time and it will store them and you don't have to use them to cut
CON: there is a problem with cartridges already linked up to a gypsy (but they are working on it)
(you can go to announcement to read the latest HERE (at the bottom)


PRO: the craft room comes with a file that  is free to everyone (bonus stuff)
(go to craft room exclusives then craft room basics)

CON: it doesn't have TOO much stuff..just a few free stuff

PRO: it can make the icons big so you can actually see them

CON: you have to keep collapsing the screen to see your mat.


PRO: it has a search (awesome!)

you can narrow it down to a certain kind of cartidge or just cricut cake ones or what have you! pretty fun! (especially when you need that specific thing for that specific project!)


PRO: it's pretty organized..i knew right where the princess was

PRO: you can bookmark images so when you hit bookmark it will only show the ones you have hit (so you can bookmark all your cartridges so  you don't have to be tempted by the other ones

PRO: WISHLIST this is great--if you come across a new font or cartridge that you love you can add it to your wishlist so you can remember it later.

PRO: you can buy a cartridge right there if you REALLllllllly need it..

CON: they aren't as cheap as a good joanns sale or ebay

PRO: even if you don't want to download it to your computer to cut..you could still use it to search for specific things or try out a cartridge before you buy it

(two versions: web one...

or download onto your computer (you can only cut with this one!)

PRO: it still has all the fun things that we love about cartridges:

it still has the outfits and accessories and headware and blackout all the jazz that goes with it.


  PRO: it's pretty easy. i have only used it thrice and i feel like i could create something pretty fast

and now there are videos to help you learn all about it (go HERE to watch them!)

and after i signed up i started getting fun emails about great deals and sales!

and on a somewhat related note to cricuts:
this is another totally random liking of fonts...

 cursive:

for great handwriting ones *you know....like from real people cause no one really writes like mr and mrs popsicle...

amanda and kevin have terrific ones

and now...some news.

i would say exciting..

you might throw tomatoes.

okay. pictures worth a 1000 words

and this picture is screaming

CAMEO!!!!!!

on an unrelated sidenote:

the diy club is having some awesomely themed parties

it's got to be holiday..it's got have the certain color...and it has to involve paint (or spray paint)
