I made my LO's birthday banner last night and it took a long time to cut everything out with scissors. DH gave me Cricut before LO was born and I still haven't used it! I just want to start off with shapes for banners...I guess I need to buy a cartridge?
I hope I can figure it out by April for baby 2's birthday! 
What was the last thing you made with your Cricut machine?

I have one that is rarely used and collecting dust... Last project I did was use it to cut letters out of iron on fabric for a pillow project. This was over 2 years ago.. The fabric cutting didn't go so well, even though I had read that it would work! I think it comes with a basic cartridge that might have some good shapes (but not sure about banner shapes).

I made a Merry Christmas banner for me and the hubby's Christmas photoshoot 3 years ago. Yea.... I'll probably use it to make more banners for DS's birthday and when he's older to understand holidays, maybe then as well?

I made a banner for my son's 1st birthday party. It took a while to cut out all the animals, but I did a few every weekend.

@autumnlove: This was for last year - first birthday. I'll have to look to see what cartridge I used, I forget!

@DisneyBee: fun idea!!
I just got one for Christmas, and so far I've made a banner for L's first birthday party (next weekend - yikes!!). I used the letters and shapes that came with the machine. I also plan on making a bunch of hearts to attach to toothpicks to put in food/cupcakes as decorations. Also some heart bunting for her high chair for the cake smash.

Thanks @autumnlove and @swurlygurl! It was fun to make, but I haven't used it too often lately (my DS is now 3 years old!). I just bought a Cars cartridge, so I hope to make a Cars banner for him for his 4th birthday. It's just been busy with baby #2 on the way.
