So you are not going to believe this, but I think that I just added a mobile device to my phone to post to this blog... So watch out. Lots of cropping info!

Cricut Fonts or Bust!

So, I went online and searched for some new cricut fonts. Since I sold all of my paper trays, I figured I'd check out some cheap ways to get fonts. I checked these three favorite places:
- eBay
- www.OhMyCrafts.com
- www.CustomCrops.com

And, let me tell you - I was very successful finding my cricut cartridges for really cheap. How many you ask - over 40 of them... and maybe even more! I haven't yet counted them all!

Ok, so why did I do this? Cause I sold the paper trays and figured that I needed to invest in the Weekend Retreats that we do. So.... I am investing in the Cricut! Since I have the Gypsy (yes you can use it at the crops!) I'm getting ready to download all of these fonts onto my Gypsy and then have both the cartridges and Gypsy out for all to use!

Some of them that I couldn't live without were the newer fonts: Jubilee and Simply Sweet. The new Easter 2010 and Mother's Day are especially cute! I can't wait to use them ...

Sometimes Custom Crops and Oh My Crafts! has coupons that they will send to you if you sign up for their newsletter. Yup, it's free... but beware, they will send you emails just about everyday advertising something. They're really, really, really good at sending something out. So, just expect it. Now that you expect it, you'll love getting them. I love the 20% off coupons. Only once have I seen more than that. But the best part about these two stores is that they also always have their fonts and other products on sale and then you get the discount ON TOP OF THAT PRICE! It's awesome really. I got a few cartridges for only a mere $13.00. One of my croppers told me that she recently got a new cartridge for only $12. Be on the lookout and they have super-duper sales sometimes.

Ok, enough about them!

I'm lovin my Cricut fonts, and can't wait to post some pages showing them off!
