The two new cartridges, Cricut The First Few Years and Cricut When I was a Kid, both embrace this concept. Take a look below for more details:
Cricut The First Few Years Cartridge:
Also, you may notice that the images are not terribly specific so you could make this layout but use a different title (ex: "Our New Home").
Cricut When I Was A Kid Cartridge:
Don't forget I have TWO giveaways going on this week!

ReplyDeleteLove that font, looks like a great cart : D.
ReplyDeleteI think that these cartridges are an awesome idea. I can't wait to get my hands on them. With having four grandchildren I'm sure I could use them a lot
ReplyDeleteWill never be at a loss for a layout again. love the ideal.
ReplyDeleteThe font is killer. That's what I love the best...
ReplyDeleteA neat twist on the cartridge. I think I like it! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day,

This is an interesting idea - I like that ProvoCraft is trying something new. I usually use my Cricut at the end of a layout to add title/embellishment. Big change to use it for an entire layout - might have to try this one. Please keep us updated if you try it!

I love this ideal for the times we get scrapbooking block! and I must say this has been happening a lot lately.
ReplyDeleteTFS!
I have this cartridge, but i am frustrated that it still wont link to my gypsy!!! My daughter will be 23 this year, its time i started her baby book before she has a baby of her own LOL oh wait, that gives me an idea, maybe i should just make 2 of everything and i'll have the future baby done before it is even conceived :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great new cartridges! I have so many photos to do and this would make it so much easier! I love the layouts! Thank you so much for the info!

I love this! Cant wait to see When I was a Kid.
ReplyDeleteI really like these carts, they will be great for those who are just starting in scrapbooking!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! Make scrapbooking easier.Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAs scrapbookers, we are always looking for sketches so why not on the cartridge? I love the font and the frames!!
ReplyDeleteVERY smart of Cricut to come up with this concept. I would really use this for layouts. Love all the choices of layout. I like the images and the fonts.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a new release but the other one is. I got this cart but would really like it to be linked to my "G" so that I could use it to it's full potential.
ReplyDeleteI think the new carts r super cute

Great idea! I love it!
ReplyDeleteBoth of the cartridges look great!
ReplyDeleteNice to see different cartridges like this
I don't scrapbook much but images could be used anywhere!
These are Great! I have a hard time with Layouts! :0)
ReplyDeleteI really think I'm going to like these.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea, and the large die cut elements, but I really don't like the sentiments. They're very "kiddy" and I don't have children so I'd not use them at all. I haven't bought a cart in over four years, but I'm kind of disliking buying die cut packs. It's good to have around, but they're kinda costly, no?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! Love these!

I think I will have to get this new one - When I was a kid. My DH was just in the ER so love the title on this one!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I "needed" either of these carts when I first heard about them. But, after seeing all the images, phrases and fonts, I'm rethinking my "need." I'm pretty sure now that they fall into that category. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a layout based cartridge. Sometimes, I would love to just be able to pull a design and start cutting all the pieces. I think I would be able to get a lot of layouts done quickly too!!!! Anything that saves time for me is my friend. Also love that their are so many images on each cartridge with a font as well.
ReplyDeleteI am really pleased these have come out it's nice to see something new, I'm excited about these cartridges and the fact they can be used for other things other than babies/kids!
ReplyDeleteI love this new cartridge! Such a great way to have different layouts at hand.

I would love to get this so I can make a scrapbook for my cousin who is expecting her first baby. This is perfect for putting together a scrapbook and leaving the picture spots blank so the new mom can pop in her photos.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea. It's great to be able to make a fast LO...change a few things, add your fav paper...and voila...
ReplyDeleteLee-Ann :)
Oh my word, I just love this concept! I've only ever made cards, but even I could make a scrapbook with these two cartridges!!!!
ReplyDeleteKaren
These are really cool. Don't guess I've seen carts like these! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove these new cartridges and the concept. Great new ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love the cartridges. The possibilities are endless. I think these are the best cartridges for scrapbookers since
ReplyDeleteCreate a Critter came out!
Oh, my gosh, these were made for me....I am so behind in my children's scrapbooks, this would make so much easier for me. I will need to get both of them. I would love the teddy bear cartridge too! Thanks so much for offering this to us. Love the preview.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big scrapbooker but I can see where you could use some of the cuts for cards, too.
ReplyDeleteI've just done two layouts using the music layout which is free on CCR at the minute - fantastic idea and it makes it so fun. There's a cut file on the project page for this kit on the Cricut website too :-)
ReplyDeleteSome of these would make great cards too. I like the font and the idea that with these cartridges, all I need is some paper to coordinate custom made pages.
ReplyDeleteClever and cute!
ReplyDeleteI am loving these 2 cartridges. Great way to get into scrapbooking or if you are like me and haven't done a page in eons this will get me jumpstarted again.
ReplyDeleteThey look like a great
ReplyDeleteidea. Getting everything
to make your layout all
in one place.

This is perfect for the beginner scrapbooker! Sure helps when you have a sb block!!
ReplyDeletebdcampers@msn.com
I'm not a scrapbooker, but for anyone who is I'm sure this would be a helpful way to get several pages done quickly.
ReplyDeleteWow! This make scrapbooking very easy!AND who don't like easy!TFS
ReplyDeleteRosebud222222222
These two cartridges are really amazing, they make scrapping so easy.
ReplyDeleteRene from OZ xo
Love the concept!So cool!
ReplyDeleteI love both new cartridges, they would make scrapbooking so easy and then again I like designing my own layouts, On one hand I want them and on the other I think I don't need them, lol
ReplyDeletebut still they would be great to have.
OMG what awesome cartridges can't wait to get them both Provocraft has done it again WOOO HOOO!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the information you've given
YOU ROCK!!!!
These are must have cartridges!
ReplyDeleteKerry
Ok.. Takes a LOT of my frustration away at having to tdo multiple cuts to get a multi dimensional layout just right. They listened to their cricuteers! Would love to win to try it out.... layouts layouts!! Yeah
ReplyDeleteLove love the baby items. Having a first grandchild any day and wouldn't those come in handy. thanks.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool cart!
ReplyDeleteBoth are cool carts, and it looks like they'll make scrapbooking a snap. Great carts for those thinking about scrapbooking, but just overwhelmed like me. Better than "Scrapbooking for Dummies" if one exists.
ReplyDeleteI like them, it's a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great tool for everyone that does layouts. It doesn't matter the skill set or level. There are also elements that will work in other medias as well...card making, art journaling, mixed media etc.
ReplyDeleteI love the new carts, especially the bears so cute, if I don't win, can we buy them somewhere, when I get some money. Have to eat and pay rent, and my meds
ReplyDeletethank you for all that you do, giveaways and ezpecially the coupons for all the craft stores, and your help with our imaginatione,
thank you, thank you thank you

Wow, love what you showed us! Thanks for the chance to win- I love getting new fonts and carts!
ReplyDeleteAbout the only way to describe the new cartridges is WOW! let your imagination run away with these.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
I really like the concept! I love the font on both of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing these. I think the layout themed cartridges are a really clever idea!
ReplyDeleteWow! These cartridges are loaded! looks like they would be a great help in making some quick layouts.
ReplyDeleteI like this idea, sometimes I get into a creative mist, and just can't think of a layout. These will be a good way to jumpstart the creative juices running.
ReplyDeleteHONESTLY, I thought that I was done purchasing carts...but looking at these two would have never thought about layouts, but glad Provo did....Great concept, great ideas, great components that cover just about everything needed.....
ReplyDeleteI love the layout ideas with these cartridges! I haven't bought too many cartridges lately because I got tired of paying big money for them because I loved the designs, only to find that I'm not too creative coming up with ideas to use them on! I need all the help I can get! Would love to give these a try!
ReplyDeletethis will be a great help when i need a quick scrapbook for a gift. it is a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, would love to see it for different stages of life, not just for kids years.
ReplyDeletewould love Teddy Bear Parade, I haven't been able to find it in Canada yet.
I am so excited about these new cartridges. This will make designing one step quiker than before. Kudos !
ReplyDeleteWow--lots of great features to these cartridges!
ReplyDeleteLike the look of these new carts!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these cartridges. It makes coming up with a layout so much easier :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this concept - not for every page, but when you're stuck for an idea this could really help!
ReplyDeleteThese layout carts are a cool idea. They will spur procrastinators on toward creating great scrapbooks! Still hoping to win that Teddy Bears on Parade cart!
ReplyDeleteI like to see cartridges that show layouts. It's great for scrapbook albums. Can't wait to see the winner of the teddy bear cartridges!
ReplyDeletejuliew50@ymail.com
I love the idea and the cartridges. I have 4 little grandkids and could really use both these cartridges as the cover so such an important stage in there lives.
ReplyDeletelove the concept of these, it will make my time making layouts go faster!! Just ordered the first one too!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these. I love the idea that they give you the measurements to help you make the layout. I could have a lot of fun with these. Your layouts are great.
ReplyDeleteI like some of the content of these carts, esp the fonts. But I won't be buying them as my kids are grown. I'm not crazy about the layout idea - I think it takes away some of the creativity. Plus it looks like most of them are one photo layouts and my layouts are mostly 2-page, multiple photo layouts.
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't scrapbook...only make cards...these carts can be great for that. You can use the layouts as ideas for cards and use all of the fonts, frames, sayings, etc. on them as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving us the chance to win the bears...it looks really cute and I LOVE bears :)

Truly fabulous idea Cricut! I'd love to see one of these kinds of cartridges all around "school" stuff. Thanks for always keeping us up to date on all the cool new things going on.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win ... these cartridges would be a perfect to scrapbook my first grandbaby due in August!
ReplyDeleteI am excited about both of these cartridges. Providing complete layouts is brilliant. The fonts are great!
ReplyDelete~Margo Jacobson
I really do like the idea of layouts but I hardly ever do one photo pages so I am not thinking I would buy the carts as of now. I love the font on the first cart though and if I win will be sure to use it a lot LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win
I just bought the First Few Years one as I love the shapes and font it comes with. I haven't made a layout yet - that is for this weekend. I hope to see a double layout cartridge in the future too! The graphics on the Kid cartridge is a little more doodley. I like it and may get it later but I like the graphics on the baby one better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun cartridge. Would love to win.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and the chance to win!

I am LOVING these two cartridges!!! The images are great, and the fonts are WONDERFUL! And I can so see myself using them for card-making. I know I will own them both someday. :)
ReplyDeleteI think both of these cartridges are fantastic...wording, letters, accents, frames, all together!! I'm going to get me some free cuts in the craft room while they're offered for free!!
ReplyDeleteWOW OMGAGA!!! what awesome cartridges and it so takes out all the guest work on putting a page toghter. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea that I get to play with it for a week before deciding if I want to get this cartridge or not. Nice layouts.
ReplyDeleteGreat cartridge, I could see tons of uses for this one also besides scrapbooking. Lot of nice layouts on it.

Great layouts. I currently use my circut for just cards but I might be successful at scrapbooking with these cartridges.
ReplyDeleteScrapbookers are always looking for a way to make a layout easier or faster, so these are a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteAs a grandmother of 13 (newest one being two weeks old) I find this cart a MUST HAVE. I like seeing what can be done with these carts. knowing the sizes does help in trying to get a cute layout done before they head for college lol
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the concept of these two carts and can't wait to get my hands on them...I find myself in a rut all the time and this will help get those pictures to pages finally!!! TFS!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic looking cartridges! I took a picture of my daughter (almost 2 now) every day of her first year of life and am doing the same with my son (almost 3 months). I want to make a scrapbook for each kid with those pictures and these cartridges will make my life SO much easier! Thank you Cricut! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove the concept. I am new grandma, will put to alot of use.
