Carts with Fonts list updated for March 2012


A small request - If you find my Fonts list useful and download it I would love it if you would become a follower of my blog - if you aren't already!

Q: What are the different links? Which one should I download?

A: In Australia (and many other countries) our standard size printer paper is called A4. Its size is a little different to the Letter size paper that is used in the US. So that the document prints out correctly for everyone I created two versions of it. One in US letter size, and one in A4 size.

So if you are in a country that uses Letter size paper (8½ x 11") and you want the full list of carts you would download "Full list - US letter size."

If you are in Australia or somewhere else that uses A4 (210mm x 297mm) and you want the full list you would download "Full list - A4 size."

If you have previously downloaded the full list and only want to download the pages for the new carts then you would download using the "fonts only" link.


17/03/2012 - Update to add March fonts - Art Deco and Chip Decor. I've also added the Roman Numerals digital cart.

Hello Thursday - February 2012

Yes, I'm a bit late again.... :)

And you've most likely already seen the new carts for February. But just in case you've been on a desert island for the last 4 days here's the cartridge release for February.

3 new carts - Garden Soup, Tags Bags Boxes and More 2 and Creative Memories Divine Wedding.

All 3 have already been added to the Design Studio Cartridge Update along with the 2 missing carts from December - Victorian Romance and CM This & That.

All images are from the Official Cricut Blog. Make sure you go check it out! The Shirt box on TBBM2 is so cute! And I'm told (thanks Scrapalette) that the Cracker actually pops!

Finally fixed!


It took me 2 days and lots of swearing but I finally got my blog back to normal.

I've decided I don't like Blogger very much today! It's been acting weird for about a week with things like my Edit button (the little pencil) going missing.

For now I'm just glad it's back to it's pretty self and I didn't lose any posts!
