I bought this book a few months ago and have found it very helpful. I agree with a previous reviewer that it is good for inspiration. However I also feel that it is excellent for improving understanding of the power of the cricut cartridges and wish I had found it when I first purchaced my Expression. It is true, as another reviewer said, that there are very many more cartridges which could have been used in illustrating the book. I feel that there is lots of scope for a further book here, and one which also covers examples using the Gypsy. Provocraft seem to be oblivious to the fact that help is always welcome, not only on technical questions but also to illustrate the potential on the creative side. So, Annie, please share some more of your wonderful creativity with us.
