What's Next?

Provo Craft is dedicated to developing new innovative and revolutionary Cricut tools and products which enable you the crafter to create masterpieces of fun and creativity with ease and excellence. We enjoy hearing from you and value you opinions, ideas, and input. The product development team and crews at Cricut have sought out and listened to your input and ideas and have aggressively pursued ways of implementing answers to your crafting needs with each generation of Cricut products.

If you have visited the Cricut website this month, you will have noticed a peculiar wooden crate with instructions that read, "Do not open until July 27, 2009" and "Top Secret". The question "What's next?" comes to mind. What is next you ask? Well, here are a few of the clues from our website:

"This thing's kind of touchy, but it never gets mad."
"Roam if you want to, roam around the world."
"You may have to power down during takeoff."
"Colors, shapes, designs. Oh, My!"
"Now you can create on the go, anywhere."
"Carry all your cartridges at once!"
"Power it on and you're on a design road trip."
"The crop will be redefined."
"This thing knows how to easily locate all your art."
"Like doing things your way? You'll love this."
"Cricut designs no longer require a mouse."
"Designed to become one with your hand."
"Sleek, smart, sexy. Imagine when you turn it on."
"Your creative design space just got redefined."
"No more lugging your cartridge totes."
"The latest art for Cricut in the palm of your hand."
"Plugged or unplugged, you decide."
"No more flipping through binders."

Wow! Sounds pretty wonderful! I'll bet you've been forming some ideas and speculating about the newest Cricut product. Click here to find the answer to these clues! You're sure to be delighted!


Happy Cricuting :-)

PROJECT CORNER AND SPOTLIGHT

Name:
Heidi Anne Giebel
About:
My name is Heidi Anne Giebel. I am a 2nd grade teacher and avid scrapbooker. I received my cricut for Christmas 2007 and instantly fell in love. I use my Cricut for almost every layout, card and craft project that I do.

Heidi's Project: Agenda Board
Picture:

Cartridges Used:

Zooballoo, My Community, Locker Talk, Learning Curve
Instructions:
I'll be teaching 2nd grade in the fall and I used My Community, Locker Talk and Learning Curve to create this Daily Agenda for my chalkboard. I'll put these up on my chalkboard with the time, next to each one for the children to know what is going on for the day. I'm going to have them laminated and then attach a magnet to the back of each. (my chalkboard is magnetic) I'm also making one for each reading group, I'm using Zoobaloo for those (each reading group is a different animal).

TECH SUPPORT NOOK - Q. I receive a "Cartridge Not Found" or "Cartridge Error" message when inserting a cartridge.

A. First, make sure the cartridge is fully inserted into the slot. Press down until you hear the cartridge "pop" into place. Next, try powering off and on again. This will make sure the cartridge is recognized. Occasionally, the cartridge will not register if directly swapped without the power cycle. If you continue to have this error, contact Cricut Support: e-mail support@cricut.com or you can give us a call toll free at 1-877-727-4288.
