I have joined the Cricut cult. I’ve wanted to for years but couldn’t justify the price for the limited space I had. Now I have oodles of space (comparatively). I still didn’t want to make the investment into a huge monstrosity that would cost a ton of money and a ton of space. So I decided to buy a Cricut Joy.

I chose to purchase from Amazon so I would get it within a day rather than a week. I received it yesterday and within an hour out of the box I made this.

It would have been much faster but as I knew nothing, I had to do a little trial and error. The machine worked perfectly out of the box but I had to learn how to use their design space (not that intuitive of an app. Might switch to my laptop in the future.) Then I had to learn how to use the vinyl. I bought a kit with test materials but it didn’t have all the answers. So, a little trial and error and within an hour I’m hooked. Next I’ll test making cards!
