Cricut Craft Room

Have you guys heard? Cricut is coming out with a free online program to design and create {using your cartridges}, and then cut with. I’ve been pretty excited about this program, for the simple fact of being able to weld images. And from what I understand, you can share the files with others so they don’t have to design their own if they like what you made. I’ve been using it a little bit, and after a few bumps in the road and spending a little bit of time on the phone with the Customer Service department at Cricut/Provo Craft, I’ve got it figured out, and I’m LOVING it!

Yesterday I designed the words I wanted to cut for my sons baptism mini album that I’ve been working on. This is what it looked like. {I’m so excited that I now know how to take a screen shot, and it’s SO easy. Why haven’t I learned this before now!?}

So far some of the pros I’m seeing with this is that you can weld, squish more items on your paper {less wasted paper}, and it’s totally free. {Although it’s still in the Beta Testing stages.}

Some of the cons: It is a little unclear of how to get everything set up to work. I called customer service and they were VERY helpful at getting it up and running. And I don’t keep my Cricut by my computer, so I have to haul it out to use it, but I can live with that! 🙂

So if you are interested in checking out Cricut Craft Room head on over to Cricut.com. You are required to update your Cricut to the newest firmware {which I assume, will make other non cricut programs unusable, I don’t have any of those programs, so I don’t know for sure}, download the program onto your computer, and have a user name and password.

This is NOT a sponsored post. I just like the Cricut Craft Room program, and thought I would share this information with others.

And stay tuned! Next week I’ll be back to show you the book I made with the cut outs above.
