New cricut cartridges have been announced.  If you have Design Studio or The Gypsy you can download the updates.

Here is the list of new cartridges.

Tie The Knot Cricut Cartridge: Finally another wedding themed one.  This one has some beautiful images on it.

Heritage Cricut Cartridge: I love some of these images.  The trees are very pretty as well as some of the silhouettes.

Sentimentals cricut cartridge: My favorite images here are the frames.

Songbird cricut cartridge: I think that this font is pretty but with SCAL and all the fonts that can be downloaded, I am not sure if this is one that I will get.

Forever Young cricut cartridge: I am on the fence about this one.  I think I would like to see some projects using cuts from this cartridge before I decide to buy it.

The winner of the Sweet Treats cricut cartridge is………………………..

Dave:

Well, I cannot say that I have a favorite cartridge because I just did buy the Cricut Personal, at Michael’s for $69.99, for my lovely wife. Although I’m pretty partial to the Sports Mania Cartridge based on packaging alone.

Here I am searching for online deals on Black Friday Eve(sounds scary, huh?)when I stumbled on your site. I also got her a handful of cartridges, but they did not have the sweet treats cartridge–and since my wife loves to bake, and is sweet; I thought that I would toss my hat into the cartridge contest! Thanks for a great site that I’m sure we’ll be looking at alot (after Christmas).

Happy Holidays!  Thank you to everyone that posted a comment.

Congratulations, I have sent you an e-mail.  Please respond with your address.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I hope that everyone has a safe and happy one.  I have already done some shopping online.  I am so surprised that places like the Boston Store, Old Navy, Joanns and Office Max have  a lot of the deals online and in store and some of them have already activated there online sales already.

I stopped by our local Wal-Mart to pick up some Christmas Tree lights.  I had a chance to check out the specials that they have already set up.  They either were wrapped in plastic or had caution tape around them stating that it was not for sale until tomorrow.  To avoid what happened last year they have decided to keep Wal-Marts that were not open 24 hours open tonight all night.  My sister had told me that but our Wal–Mart never had any signs up saying they would remain open but today the cashier confirmed that they were staying open all night.  I think that there will be a lot of disappointed people tomorrow because our store does not have very many of the big ticket items.  There was 5 of the microwaves.  There were only of few of the Xbox and PS3.  There was 4 of the brother sewing machines.  I was most interested in the toys.  They were a lot of mixed pallets out.   A few of each toy piled up.  I think that they are going to sell out very early.  We are going to go with the mindset that we get what we get and if not, that’s okay.  They only had one pallet of cricut machines.  I think that there was only between 4 of each color and the cricut cartridges display was not out yet.

Today after dinner I went to Michaels to to check out there Thanksgiving day sale.  There was about 40 people in line already by the time I got there.  When the door finally opened there was a mad rush for the cricut display.  They had lots and lots of cartridges.  Most of them were the Sweat Treats, Pagoda, Old West, Paisley and Designer’s Calendar.  The unexpected deal was the cricut personal.  Michaels had it listed in the paper for $97.99 and at the store they have reduced the price to $69.99.  I think that they did it to avoid having to keep price matching Joann’s $74.99

I picked up one of  the cartridges that I did not have yet (Pagoda).  Designer’s Calendar and Old West were a gift from my friend.

It will be exciting to play with them.

I decided since the cartridges were such a great deal that I would be giving 1 away on my blog.  The cartridge that I decided to give away is…………………

The Sweet Treats cricut cartridge!!!!!  I love this cartridge.  It is brand new and in the package.  To enter, please leave a comment on this post stating which cricut cartridge is your favorite and why.  Only 1 comment per person please.   A winner will be selected via random.org on Friday December 4th.

Yeah!!!!  This was the ad that I was waiting for.  Thank you Michaels!!!!  The sale price for the cricut cartridges that they have in the black friday sales ad will be good on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.  Cricut cartridges that are normally  $69.99 will be $27.99 and $89.99 cartridges will be $35.99.

I just got back from Michaels for the second time today.  The first time I forgot my coupons and had to go back.  Here is the sales flyer that I received.  They will be open Thanksgiving day from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.  They have an unadvertised in store special on cricut cartridges for $59.99.  Last year someone said they offered them for $29.99 on Thanksgiving day last year… who knows if they will do it again this year.  Might be worth a quick trip there just to see.

Michaels Black Friday Cricut Sales

Cricut cartridges that are regularly $69.99 will be on sale for $27.99.  Cartridges that are normally $89.99 will be on sale for $35.99.  That includes The Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge and Paisley Cricut Cartridge.  Joann’s has a better deal on the Cricut Personal Machine. 

I found the black friday sales ad online at http://www.black-friday.net/.  They are all listed on the right hand side.  Just click on the store that you are looking for to view the complete ad. 

A few weeks ago I got an e-mail from a company called Papercraftingpro.com.  It was for a 2 day trial membership in there buying program.  After that it is 9.99 on month to order from them.  On there website they have Yudu, Cricut, Gypsy, Cuttlebug, Quickkutz, CGull Totes, Zutter BIA, Yourstory and more.  There was also a 15% discount coupon off the first order. The prices that they offered just seemed to be to good true so I did a search of them on the net.  I read that a few people had ordered from them on the Cricut.com MB and received there orders.

I told my friend Lana about this site and that they had really great prices but that I was a little nervous to order form them.  I told her I wanted the Yudu and they have it for 137.00 and with the coupon it would be 15% off.  We decided that we would order the Yudu and share it and split the cost of the machine.  It is something we both wanted but we are not going to make T-Shirts or screen print everyday.  Sharing it just makes sense to us and we each would buy our own accessories like ink and stuff.  We paid through paypal with a credit card.

This is what we ordered, and I am not kidding about the price.  This is really what we paid, it is a screen print of the invoice.  Even ohmycrafts.com does not have these kind of prices on the Yudu, Speaking of Winter Cricut Cartridge or Dinosaur Tracks Cricut Cartridge.

Whooooo HOOOOOOO YUDU!!!!!!!!!!

Today our order came!!!  The only thing that I did not like was that they opened the Yudu box and stuck everything else that we ordered in the box.  Nothing got damaged or anything but the order does show shipping for 2 boxes and they only sent it in one.  The price we paid though can not be beat anywhere so I am not going to complain.   No where can you find the Yudu for 137.00 and buy 3 packs of emulsion sheets and 3 mesh screens for what we paid.  One pack of emulsion sheets at the store are 19.99 and one mesh screen 24.99.  I was amazed at the price of the Gyspy.  It is listed at 195.00 and $9.16 shipping.

Since I have to work for the rest of the week and Lana has the next 2 days off she is going to try it out first and tell me what she thinks of it.  I have next Sunday and Monday off so I am going to try and make something then and play with the new cartridges.

My friend bought the new Paisley Cricut Cartridge on Sunday.  Since I had the Sweet Treats Cartridge, we swapped for the day.  I am so excited.  I love this cartridge.  My friend is going to let me borrow it when ever I would like, the same with my Sweet Treats cartridge for her so it is perfect.  There are so many cute things on this cartridge.

This frog is the first thing that I cut off the Paisley cricut cartridge.  I think he turned out really cute.  I could definitely see him on a valentines day card.  I used Martha Stewart glitter all over him to make him sparkle.  You can not tell with the eyes, but they are a white glitter as well.  It looks so much better in person that in this picture.  I am not a huge frog lover but I would even kiss this guy, even if he did not turn out to be a prince .
