Does anyone own a Cricut cutting machine? What kind of projects do you make? Do you have a favorite cartridge?

Yep, had two.LOL Kept the expression. I mostly make scrapbook things and I made some stuff for a friend's diaper cake and for my classroom. My favorite is the People one, forget the name.LOL And I think the lite one, Child's play. Totally use that for Baby Bear's book.

I don't have the Cricut but my hubby got me the Silhouette Cameo this past Xmas and I love it! Used it to make thank you notes for my baby shower and I will probably use it for a lot of baby things - birthday invites, decorations, scrap booking, etc.

I don't have a cricut but I do have an old Silhouette SD that I use once in a while. So far, I've made two sets of baby shower invitations, my LO's first birthday invitations, and some other random cards.
I actually prefer the Silhouette cause I can take any image and create a pattern from it. For Christmas, I made a pattern from an online image of a Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet and used that pattern to cut freezer paper stencils for matching father/daughter T-shirts. His said "Stormtrooper" and LO's said "Stormpooper".
I expect to use it more when LO is older and can join in the fun.
BTW, here's an easy way to re-sticky your cutting mat (cause those things aren't cheap).

I just saw this 2012 review of electronic cutters http://die-cutting-machines-review.toptenreviews.com/ and I am in love with the Cricut mini! It's only $129. I didn't really want to spend $200 for the Cricut Expression. Although, I don't really want to spend money on the cartridges.

I have the original one, I've had it for years! I've made invitations, birthday cards, and most recently for 3rd and 4th grade science project boards. My 10 year old son loves using it with my help! Best craft purchase I ever made, love it!!

I have one, but for the life of me can't figure the darn thing out!

Yup! I love it. My last two projects were table numbers and little golfers for my mom. I use it for titles in scrapbooking, accents and sometimes 3d elements. I am going to try cutting out wall decals next!
