    I have only had a chance to look at Cricut Craft Room and play a little bit, but I think it will be great for my mom and I both to use. She doesn't understand the Gypsy so that will be so much easier. She can design on her computer and print using my netbook which is in the same room as my Cricut.

    I haven't used CCR yet, so I don't really have an opinion. I don't see myself using it very much, at this point, because I don't have a computer in my scrap room and usually when I'm down there, my husband is on the laptop, so I can't take it with me.

    I haven't cut with CCR because it's not convenient for me to hook my machine up to my computer. I have used the web version to just plan layouts and colors, and like it for that.

    I like the fact that I can now use CCR on my mac laptop. I can weld, save paper, and explore the entire cartridge easier than the design studio. It does need patience at times. I don't know if I want to link my cartridges though.

    I love the concept of the Craft Room, but I have found projects take much longer than they should working through the errors. I have been Beta testing for about 5 months now. I really miss the simplicity and speed I had with Design Studio. I like being able to purchase carts abd designs digitally though.When it works consistently, I know I will really love it too.

    I am a follower. I used DS for 2 years. I bought my Gypsy at launch but never really used it till I got my E2 in May. Now I'm so glad I have it.The E2 made me use it and it is so easy with all the updates. I tried CCR a couple of times but it doesn't seem so easy to me. Plus I'm not tied to the computer with my "G". I tried checking out the handbooks of the newer carts, like on cricut library, but didn't seem to work well. Digis, I don't know. I like being able to look through my handbooks with my physical carts.

    I am really enjoying the cricut craft room,though I'm still learning the ins and outs of the program. I'm extremely excited to see how it works when we can purchase digital images in the future. Thanks for the opportunity to win this cartridge.

    I'm a follower... love to see your projects. I've tried CCR a number of times. I like it but probably will continue to use DS. Seems everytime I use CCR it ends up "freezing" and I have to close then open the program again.

    Thanks for the giveaway!!
