Downloading files from MediaFire
So many people share Cricut files these days. A great many of us use MediaFire to store and share the file. Follow these steps and you shouldn't end up downloading any nasties...
(Always make sure your virus software is up to date)
Click on the link that the person sharing their file has given you.
You'll be taken to Mediafire and should see this screen:
Once it 's ready to download you'll see this box asking you whether you want to Open the file or Save the File.
If you just want to print it out and not save it, select Open with Adobe Reader and click OK. The file will open (assuming you have installed Adobe Acrobat Reader) and you can print it out.
If you DO want to save it to your computer select Save File and click OK
The file will commence downloading to your computer. If you use Firefox and you have "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" selected (Tools, Options, General tab) you'll see this window.
When it has fully downloaded double click on the file name in the download box and your file will open ready for you to print.

Version 2 of Carts with Fonts list is ready for download!
I just finished uploading the new version of the Cricut Carts with Fonts list.
I made a few changes to it. There is now a column for you to tick if you own the cart, plus there is another column which notes whether the font has a shadow. Here's a sneak peak:
There are about double the number of pages now, BUT the way I have done it will mean that in future you won't have to print out all the pages again. I'll let you know which pages have a change on them! Hope you find that feature useful.
There are now two versions of the PDF you can download. One uses the US letter size paper and the other the A4 size paper.
Here's the two links:
US letter version: http://www.mediafire.com/?zqjvqagaen75vek
A4 version: http://www.mediafire.com/?jfxp92kx6rknbry
When downloading the file, make sure you don't click on anything other than the "Click here to start download...." button. That way you won't download any nasties.
I'll be uploading a tutorial on downloading files from Media Fire later today!
Enjoy! Again, let me know if there's any changes you would like.

DS font pack download is messed up!
UPDATE: IT'S FIXED!!!! December & January carts are now available to download. (It still says November though....)
For some reason the December Font Pack has been overwritten with the November Font Pack.
So if you're looking for the December carts at http://www.cricut.com/CDS/Update.aspx you're out of luck.
HOWEVER....... I DO have the December Font Pack saved to my media fire account. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?09torkgy8ima2a9
Only use this link if you are missing carts from December 2010 which were:
April Showers
Spring Holiday Cards
Mothers Day Bouquet
Best of Pixar
Disney Classics
Nate's ABC's
Groovy Times
Pack your bags
Life is a Party
Cricut Everyday (Circle)
It WON'T include the January carts that were released today!!

Oops! And a very late apology
So it appears that there's more than one GirlfromOz out there..... (Go figure - I thought how original I was being by using a spin off of the Hugh Jackman musical the Boy From Oz!)
A couple of weeks ago I got an email from another girlfromoz who asked me to stop using her email address....
I thought "Say what??? "
I didn't give it much more thought till I received an email from a friend who sent it to my hotmail a/c and to my home email address. That's when the penny dropped. I noticed that the hotmail address was wrong. Instead of girlfromoz2009 at hotmail dot com it was addressed to girlfromoz at hotmail.com! (I did try to get that address originally but it was taken... obviously.... which is why I added the 2009)
To cut an already far too long story short..... I emailed her to let her know what must have happened. She replied and very nicely forwarded me a stack of emails that had gone to her by mistake.
So....... if you sent me an email any time from 24th March 2009 and you didn't get a reply....... SORRY!!!!! It went to the wrong address!!!!
I have found a few blog posts where I had typed the wrong address and have fixed those, and I'll keep looking to make sure there's no more!

Get the Adobe PDF reader here
If you're having trouble opening the Cricut fonts file make sure you have a PDF reader installed.
Here's the link to the Adobe Reader:
http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/?promoid=BUIGO
If you don't want McAfee Security Scan Plus software to download, make sure you deselect that option before you click the Download Now button.

Answers to some comments
Wow! What a response to my little old cart list!!!
I'm so happy that so many Cricut users out there have found it so useful.
There have been a couple of people who haven't been able to download it. If you have trouble, please let me know and I can email it to you. Just let me know your email address and I'll send it on.
I have no idea why Bing would have been downloaded to your computer. That's certainly not something that I had any control over. I haven't heard of that happening to anyone else... yet! :)
You should be able to remove the Bing toolbar by going to your control panel, add/remove programs and uninstalling it from there.
As I said above, please let me know your email address if you would like me to email the file to you.
Thanks Kathy! When I was creating the document I considered showing which carts had a shadow. I really just wanted to get the list finished so left that feature out. But.... I will hopefully have that information added ready for the next version after Hello Thursday. So stay tuned! :)
Janner said:
I'll definitely be sharing some info on sizing layers and some more on the Hide Contour feature soon! :)
What? You want ALL my secrets??? LOL
Seriously though, I just added each font to my DS mat, previewed it then used my Windows 7 "Snipping Tool" to take a copy of the preview. Then I copied that into a Word document table. Easy peasy! :)
"I just taught a class on Design Studio on Saturday and emailed your list to everyone in the class. I will hand out a copy to my future classes. Thank you so very much for doing all of the work. Also I am missing a page 9 is there one? "
Page 9 was missing from the original post, but it is there now.
Please let me know if you have any more questions and thanks again for all the lovely comments!

"Thanks for all the hard work that you did compling this list. However, I am upset that when I downloaded it, it also downloaded the Bing tool bar and made Bing my home page and now I can't check my email and can't figure out how to get rid of it. Wish you would have mentioned that this download also downloaded other stuff because I would not have downloaded it. Plus was never able to open the file..."

"Thank you for all your hard work. I am now a follower and love your blog. I had just about given up using my design studio because I still have problems hiding features of critters and sizing the layers to fit properly. I hope you will address this issue in the near future. Jan"
I'll definitely be sharing some info on sizing layers and some more on the Hide Contour feature soon! :)

Updates to Font List
Hi everyone
Thank you so much for the amazing response to the Font List!
If you find anything missing or incorrect feel free to let me know! I'll update this file every month after the new carts are released.
So far I have added Life is a Beach (thanks DisneylandChick). The latest download now includes that font.
Bethdoc let me know that I had duplicated one of the fonts on Old West. I have fixed that now and it will be correct in the next update. That should be just after Jan 21st (Hello Thursday).
Here's what Old West should look like:
I'll update the previous post to fix that mistake.
Also, a few people have had warnings pop up about a virus when they are downloading the file. I downloaded the file myself to check and didn't get an error. I then ran Trend Micro on the file and it was clean.
It could be the ads on the mediafire site that are throwing the error. I may look at changing from Mediafire to another site. I'll update the link if I change.
