Jo-Ann Fabrics and Wal-Mart slash prices on Cricut paper cutters
Rejoice, scrapbookers! Cricut scrapbooking machines were big sellers on Black Friday last year. Turns out, you can get just as good a deal this year. Jo-Ann Fabrics and Walmart are offering unbeatable prices on two Cricut models.
Cutting a deal on a Cricut
Jo-Ann Fabrics is offering a doorbuster deal on the Cricut Expression Personal Electronic Cutter. This machine usually goes for $399, but it's on sale for $199. That’s a $200 savings for consumers who are able to beat the crowds. We took a look at reviews and found they're just as good as the prices. Over 40 owners review the Cricut Expression at Amazon.com, where it earns a solid four-star rating. The majority of users rave about the machine, praising its efficiency, precise cutting, and versatility with various designs and fabrics. Scrapbook.com, a website for scrapbooking enthusiasts, has over 70 reviews of the Expression. There, the machine receives a perfect five-star rating and users love it.
Also available at Jo-Ann Fabrics is the smaller, less expensive Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter, offered as a Saturday doorbuster for $69.99 (reg. $199.99). We found very positive feedback for the Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter on Viewpoints.com and Amazon.com, where it earns an average score of 4.5 stars. Owners say it's easy-to-use and works just as well as the larger, more expensive Circuit Expression.
Wal-Mart is also offering the Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter at an even lower price: $185 with a Cricut Classic Font cartridge included as a free bonus. Consumers should consider their color preference: The Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter is available in aqua, plum, green or canary at Wal-Mart. Although Jo-Ann Fabrics doesn’t specify the color choices available, the machine featured in their circular is white.

They will also have really cool colored (Aqua, Plum, Green and Canary) Expressions on sale for just $185 and they come with 2 brand spankin' new cartridges, Playtime and Cricut Classic Font.
This time of year my backyard is full of squirrels so when I saw this, I just had to share. hahaha!
Walmart.com has their Lite Cartridges on sale for 2 for $50 (while supplies last) and if you purchase them here, they will ship to the Walmart nearest you so you have no shipping. Chick HERE to check out this sale.

Do you have a favorite scrapbooking magazine? I've got a few but my bestest favorite is Scrapbooks, Etc. Why? Well, one reason is the layouts that they share are good for us regular (aka simple) scrapbookers and then another reason is because of their online newsletter, it's chock full of interesting ideas, examples and other cool stuff AND it's FREE. Gotta love FREE!! Sign up to receive yours by clicking HERE and then clicking on Free Newsletter.
EVERYBODY is trying to get our money BEFORE Black Friday takes it all away. haha! Even Provocraft is having a 40% off sale BUT it's for today and tomorrow only so hurry over there to check that out. By the way, this sale also includes double rewards which is really a nice incentive to help us open those wallets. Hop over there now by clicking HERE.

Make The Cut has a new Beta update (click HERE) that allows you to cut printed images. I've not played with it myself but I did find this video over on You Tube that shows it in action. Pretty cool I'd say! Click HERE for more information on Make The Cut and HERE to watch the video.
CricutSync 2.0.2.7 is now available. This version should correct all 64 bit computer problems. It will uninstall your old drivers and install new drivers for you. Go to the following site:
http://www.cricut.com/imagine/support.aspx
There are new instructions on this page for updating the Cricut Sync software. Please be sure to follow the directions on the screen prompts exactly.
If your Imagine firmware is currently 95 then you can now update to 96, which fixes the relative size issue.
Also Content Update 0013 is now available. If you had the ???? then this will fix it. It will also add the new Smiley cartridge to your Imagine library. All current cartridge content should now be available for use.
When doing the content update, if it does not work the first time then you will need to do a system restore. I had to do this on one machine because of the way it was configured. System restore will fix this.
