To be honest I'm not sure. I did a quick glace and thought I would return on payday this Friday. I will check then if you want. Or you can call them and if so I can get it for you and ship it to you. Just let me know!

I went by the Customer Service Desk on the way out and the lady there told me I had 90 days to return. DH is convinced that they'll roll back the prices even more for Christmas so I told him I wouldn't open it until then - to which he laughed and said 'yah right'. He knows me too well but I'm pretty sure I can hold off. I also got some 12x12 mats and 12x24 (4 of each). When I do carck it open I can sell Plantin (which it came with). And they brought in Graphically Speaking and Storybook at Walmart. I only want SB and already have it but it's good to see that they are bring some newer stuff in - i was worried when they reorganized and gave so much room to Martha Stewart stuff. Right now Walmart is the cheapest source around here and in most cases buying online costs about the same once you add shipping - the odd time you can get something for a great deal but not often. The Michaels sale you guys have soon (29 for carts) is something we'll never see  I really want Tinkerbell and now that I have the E want WildCard but I'll have to pay far far more for them  it's just not fair! Okay I'm done wining for now

I was just on the Cricut.com site and noticed a Education Cartridge Rebate - I wonder if my E purchase today qualifies? I'll have to email them to check! If so I get My Community (which I want) and Printing 101 (which I can sell)!! Yippy! the day is getting brighter and brighter!! But if I send in the form I need to send the original receipt which means I can't return - oh well it will be worth it if I can sell the cart.

The Disney Happily Ever After has a pair of scissors on it. It is the icon for the Cinderella dressed up in a wedding dress.

Does anyone have a link to the Paper Doll Darth Vader that someone made a while back? It is the one with the Darth Vader mask and his black outfit on. I can't find it anywhere. I was hoping that there might be a pattern somewhere.

OH YEAH. I LOVE Paper Dolls and first used it with my little bug. It's an awesome cart - whether you use it for full 'dolls' or just the accessories.

It came with 6. The first 3 are accent essentials, paper dolls, and schoolbook font. The other 3 I got to chose from so I picked Animal kingdom, Joys of the season and Tags, bags, boxes and more ( hope I got all the names right). So when I figured it out I am only paying $30 per cart and saved around $100 with that kind of bundle.

It was a lot to shell out but go on e-bay. I bought the expressions for $480 that came with 6 carts and that price included my shipping. I also went with a power seller hopefully I will get mine by the end of the week. I will let you know how it turns out. There can be some great bundles on ebay some are even offering free shipping.

I bought it a while back for my Baby Bug but never used it - only because I wanted to use it for the bags and stuff and then realized that they'd be far smaller then I wanted on the Baby Bug (figured it out by 'seeing' them on DSS). But I know others use it all the time on their Baby Bugs!

I need to cut out either a teapot or a teacup. Does anyone know what cartridge has those images? What is the best way to search for a particular image with a cartridge?

I use Design Studio to search for a particular item. The search isn't perfect but it's easier than looking through all of the booklets.
There's a teacup in Beyond Birthdays. I would think there would be one in one of the Disney cartridges. (Wasn't there a teacup character in that cartoon with Belle?)

There's a beautiful teacup and teapot on Dreams Come True. I used it for a friend to use on a bulletin board. I made it at about 15 inches wide and 12 inches tall. Worked great.

I posted my first project at cricut.com. (I haven't figured out how to do it over here yet. I will work on it this weekend.) I used Paper Dolls to make a chore chart for our Girl Scout troop. If you go to the circut.com message boards under Paper Doll Dress Up sub catergory, it is posted there.

teacup
Hi,
On the Beyond Celebrations cart there is a teacup/mug. If you go to cricut.com there are sample sheets for each cart. Hope this helps.

Is there a search function or do you just pull up the pictures? The pictures are so small on the keyboard, I usually have a hard time telling what they are.

In the cartridge library box top left hand side of screen in CDS, click on the arrow beside the word "view" a drop down menu will appear, then on keywords.....a box will open and you type in the keyword or item you are looking for........sometimes you have to be creative but any cartridge with the item you are looking for will be in the list. For example I was looking for Christmas tree earlier today and there are Christmas trees on PDDU, JOTS and SYI. Hope this helps.

Hello gals! I was wondering if any of you might be able to help me. I don't have my bug yet (Black Friday trip to Michigan is in my near future!) but I've seen some great deals on carts so I thought I'd pick up a couple. Can any of you tell me which, if any, cart will cut a scalloped circle? (I would like to cut big ones for SB pages)
tia!

Double check me on this, but I think mini monograms does too.

You are correct.
Storybook has several scalloped shapes, too.

Another tea cup
Or it's a cup of cocoa/coffee with steam on the Storybook cartridge in an ornament. I just used the cup cutout alone.

Thanks for the help on scallop circles - Storybook looks soooooo yummy!!!
Now, has anyone dealt with Custom Crops? They have the C.Expression plus two carts for $279.99, but it's backordered. Is this a too-good-to-be-true situation???

I've ordered from them before without any problems. I think that some of the problems others may have had are due to their eBay auctions. Most of their auctions are for "pre-orders" which means they order the item once the auction has ended so it takes extra time for the winner to get the product in their hands (especially if Provo Craft is out of stock).

By the way, if you have Design Studio, Okieladybug has made scallop shapes with the George cartridge that can be resized! She's also made a darn good shape that resembles the SU! label, scallop circle, scallop rectangle, and the tag punches! Diana at Capadia Designs has also been busy! She made a cut that is like the ticket punch! (All resizable as well using basic cartridges like George and Plantin Schoolbook.) Susan Bluerobot also has MANY scallop shapes, mostly to use with the Sure Cuts A Lot software.
So.... if you were just going to buy more cartridges for the scallop shapes, you might not need to!

I've ordered from them several times with no problems. I just placed another order with them last week. Two of my friends and I got together to place an order for over $100 to get the free shipping when they had their special sale. I think that offer is over now.
But, no problems-enjoy your E-bug!

Hey ladies! Glad I found this thread! I used to have the regular Cricut, but my mom gave me a Cricut Expression for my birthday! I didn't use my Cricut all that much, but am seeing some great things, so I can't wait to start using my CE! I never realized all the cool things you can do with it! So I look forward to seeing what you all come up with and sharing my projects as well!
