Super Joy Loves Her Super Friends Day GIVE AWAY
Two words. SO … EMBARRASSING.
I don’t know how it suddenly became April 17 but here we are. I forgot to celebrate Super Joy Loves Her Super Friends Day on the 14th. I’ve only missed the day one other time in over two years. Pitiful. So, what was I doing? I was throwing a family b’day party, one day I was sick and one day I cooked like a maniac from morning until night (but I didn’t feel good so I took pieces from every dish and then felt even worse). I tell you this whole list of things just to say, I’m sorry I missed SJ Loves Her SF day!! I’ll make up for it right now!
GIVE IT AWAY GIVE IT AWAY NOW…
The First Prize is…
The first prize is the AWESOME Xyron 2.5-inch Sticker Maker with Permanent-Adhesive Cartridge.
I have Xyron’s in many different sizes and they are all great and useful! Here is a post where I just about wore my Xyron’s out. It’s the first (and only) scrapbook page I’ve ever made. I did it last April. I enjoyed making it. I really ought to try my hand at scrapbooking again.
The 2nd & 3rd Prizes ARE…
Two more winners will receive the April Cricut magazine. Woo hoo! Me like pretty pictures. Me talk like Cookie Monster again.
Ok Super Friends you leave a comment and I’ll pick some winners. Sound like a deal? Sweet! Wait, let’s make it tricky. You answer this question in your comment… “What is your favorite die cutting machine?” I’ll pick THREE WINNERS (one for the Xyron and 2 for the April Cricut magazine) who answer the question. I’ll list the winners on this post on April 24, 2012.
AND THE WINNERS ARE…
I’ve had my Silhouette Cameo for several months but have only used it a few times. I was thrilled to find your blog post about it because from there I found the link to MTC software, which I’ve purchased and am loving! Especially the Trace feature. It never dawned on me there would be cutting software other than the one that came with the cameo. So glad I happened on to your blog!

I started with a Sizzix and swore I’d never need a Cricut. So glad my son talked me into the Cricut! Don’t know how I would craft without it. Love your posts Joy. You’ve given me the confidence to cut vinyl and It’s one of my favorite things to do now!

I love my cricut but I love my hubby of 19 years today more! I’d better to stay together that long! I sure don’t know where all that time has gone but it is truly hard to believe!
God bless and thanks for the chance to win! Janet
Good Luck! I’m off to the craft room today. Wheee!!
Don’t miss this upcoming blog hop :
I can’t speak from much experience, I have a Cricut and haven’t had the chance to use any other machines. I do love some of the dies for the Big Shot, and I really like what I see of the Silhouette Cameo. Each has it’s pros and cons, can I have one of each?
I too need to scrapbook more. I have all the fancy stuff to do it. My Expression 2 is my favorite for sure!

Just saw you on FB! Thanks for the giveaway! I LOVE my Cricut and am making my kids and grandkids happy with the wonderful things I create on it!
I have only had the opportunity to use a Cricut – and I love it. I hope to be able to expand my “equipment cache” in the future. Love all of the card ideas. Recently retired and looking forward to having time to get at some new ideas. Thank you, Joy!
I’ve had a Cricut for about 5 years – don’t see a reason to invest in a different machine!
We are all entitled to forget things now and then. It seems as though my now and then’s are happening more frequently. Oh well, it happens. This is a great giveaway, who could not use this Xyron. I am looking forward to your Teacher’s Gifts Blog Hop.
Hope you are feeling better. I always forget things. I will think of something I have to do but I forget what it was when I get up to go do it. That is why I have to write everything down and sometimes I forget that too. My favorite die cutting machine is my expression since that is the only one I have . Thanks for a chance to win a great giveaway!!!
While we use our Cricut all the time …. I’m loving the Bigkick right now as we are playing with metal blanks!
Love my Cricuts…..yes plural. LOL I love them all!!!! Use them all the time!!!!
Great giveaway.

I have a Cricut and a Sizzix Big Shot – I have to say I really like them both, but I use the Cricut more!
The only machines that I have used are the following, Cricut Imagine, Cricut expression, Cuttlebug die cut & embossing, slice elite and the Original Sizzix big shot. I absolutely love my Cricut expression hands down. I have seen several projects made using the cameo and I was very impressed. I have watched videos on the following machines, pazzles inspiration, cougar, black cat and one other but I can’t think of the name right now. I would love to have either the cougar or black cat machines because the power behind those machines is impeccable. They are made for mass production and making products you could sell to stores. But they are way out of my price range.
So to answer your question if I hadn’t already, the cricut expression is my favorite out of the ones I own.
Hope I win!!
Hey Sharondalyn,
Take a look at the KNK Zing. It’s more affordable than the Black Cat’s and is very strong too. 🙂

I have 3 Cricuts, but I use the Expression almost exclusively and I really like it. If I had the time and money, I might look at a different die cutting system, but I’ve really got waaaaay too much money wrapped up in the Cricuts and the cartridges. Thanks so much for the chance to win.
Like Victoria above, I have a Cricut and a Big Shot and use them in totally different ways. My fave, though, is my Cricut, especially when I use it with DS or the Craft Room.
With regard to forgetting things, welcome to my world, Miss SuperJoy! It’s one of those things that happens as you….you know, I’m not going to say it! I just hate it when either my doctor or my friends say it to me, so I’m just not going to say it to you! LOL! You know what I mean anyway….
Thanks for sharing all you do remember to do. I learn so much from your posts. 🙂
I would have to say my favorite it the Silhouette Cameo, it had a little bit of a learning curve but I am getting the hand of it now 🙂 Thanks for all that you do!
Big shot os my favourite which I got few weeks back. Collecting dies these days. You have a great giveaway. Thanks for the chance.
Thank you for the chance to win! My fav. machine is the Cricut Imagine. 🙂
I have the Cricut Expression and the more I use it the more I like it. Since most of what one makes on a Cricut is small, it is much easier to use something like a Xyron to tape them. I use a Cuttlebug for my die cutting and embossing. I know there are bigger and better machines out there but some of them take too many steps to get the job done. I’m an impatient crafter. I also don’t have a lot of room so I’m trying to minimize the size of “machines” I have. Unfortunately there are too many dies and embossing plates out there. I want them all and probably have more than I’ll ever use. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
My fav is the Cricut Expression!! I started of with the “baby” bug, but wanted the versatility of the CE, so sold my little one and use the CE exclusively!!
Im new to scrapbooking cricut stickers ect and love all your videos theyhave been so helpful. I came across your overlay one and was wondering if i can get some help w numbering the happy graduation one. I logged onto your ste and found this giveaway what could be sweeter then a chance to win free cool stuff and get some tips and advice. Awesome just made my day. Thanks Joy! So happy i join the scrapbooking world
Hi Marandacast,
I need to go take a look at that graduation cart. I’m happy to help you with it. I’ll post something as soon as I have a chance. 🙂
~Joy~
I love my Cricut and just got a Big Kick so am loving playing with that too. But I use my Cricut the most. Thanks for the chance to win such a nice price! Have a wonderful day! lindagk23
I love my cricut but I love my hubby of 19 years today more! I’d better to stay together that long! I sure don’t know where all that time has gone but it is truly hard to believe!
God bless and thanks for the chance to win! Janet
I’m a die hard Cricut fan but then again it’s the only die cutting machine that I’ve used 🙂 I do like my Cuttlebug too 🙂

Joy I have only ever worked on the cricut, started out with the baby and am up to the Expression and I love it. Need to get the 12x 24 mat and paper stacks. I also have the old sizzix and love that. So I guess that is my answer it would be the Expression for sure love it.
Thanks for the chance joy and you can make mistakes anytime you want and forget. lol

Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I love my E2 the most. I started out with the original Expression, then got an E2, then an Imagine. I like all of them, but I like that I can see where things are on the mat on the E2 before I cut (and I can do that without linking to my computer to use CCR).
I have only used the Cricut, I have the Expression and the E2 but I am really thinking about selling the cricuts and getting a Cameo or an E-clips. I have been really into the Svg files lately. I just am having trouble letting go of Cricut, I have over 100 carts so thats alot invested. Thanks for an awesome giveaway and have a happy crafty day!

My cricut for sure is my fav. Though I love embossing in my cuttlebug.
My Crickie is for sure my favorite! I did recently get a super good deal on a Slice, but haven’t had a lot of time to play with it yet…..soon!!! By the way, Joy….speaking of teacher gifts…..my daughter’s teacher is retiring this spring and moving away. She’s been at this school for 23 years and is one of the most beloved teachers there. I made her a beautiful (well, I think so anyway…) note card set, 2 designs, 4 of each design, so that she can drop an occasional note to her students and staff to let them know how she is doing. Whether a teacher is moving away or retiring close by, I think it’s a wonderful idea for a gift! Just wanted to share!
Jen
Well hope you are feeling better and happy family birthday!! Humm… well I love my cricut but I have been using my cuttlebug more then the cricut so i would say my cuttlebug!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
So far my Cricut Expression is my favorite but my Cameo will be great competition. I also love my Big shot for being a versatile machine from cutting and embossing–also it keeps me crafting in a power outage.
Kathy
Hi, Joy! Thanks for a chance at winning 3 prizes!! You can forget any time! My fave die cut machine is the Cricut Expression. I love it and have SO much invested in cartridges that I don’t wana try anything else. Also, I’m feeling lazy about learning how to use new stuff–even though you do have great tutorials and ideas. I’m an avid scrapbooker but have been busy lately doing other crafts when I have time, that I don’t get much scrapbooking done!
hmmmmm lets see…..I love my Cricut….. the only other Die Cutter I own is the Sizzix’s Big Kick, and I usually only us that to do embossing……..but it to cuts dies well, I love using my Cricut with my Gypsy and the CCR….
thank you for the chance to win, but if you draw my name first go ahead and give the Zyron to another, I have that exact one and LOVE IT!!!!!
Cool! I love my Xyrons! My Cricut is my favorite cutter. I love using my MTC software with it (shhhh!). 😉
I also can’t believe how the month is slipping by so fast.
My favorite diecutting tool is definitely my Cricut Expression 2, which I use with my Gypsy. I still use the original Cricut machine at crops and things. And there are still many uses for some of my sizzix dies, especially when cutting materials other than paper. What can I say, so many choices and so little time. Keep cutting!
Love my new Zing got at Christmas!!!! Still use Cricut but only when Zing is busy already. I can work at 2 time the speed with 2 machines working at same time…wow. Love the Big Kick for embossing for cards. Love your site so many great ideas!!! thanks for the chance to win
The Cricut Expression would have to be my favorite since this is the only one I have, I don’t even have a die cutting machine I do have a Xyron machine that I like to use
Cricut, yep all three of them. Why we feel we must have more than one …lol… Idk but they are my babies!!! They are my stress relief and i would want to be with out them. Sad but true. Thanks joy for the give aways.
I would have to say, my Cricut, since that is the only one I have. I have a Gypsy, but have never used it. I wouldn’t trade my bug for anything. Thanks again for the giveaway.
I use my Cricut as well as my Cuttlebug all the time. I wouldn’t be caught with out either of them. Maybe someday I will get a chance to try one of the other machines. Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
I love my Cricut. I have 2 and love them both. Thanks for the chance to win. You are a “super friend”too.
Mary Beth C
My fave is either one of my Cricuts, Pressie & Magi, (Expression & Imagine). I do NOT have any cutter things for my Cuddi, (Cuddlebug) YET. But I am in no way bored w/ what I DO have…………YET!! Thanks for the giveaway. Good Luck ALL!!!!
I love, love, love your site. I check it every week day for advice and great ideas.
Thanks for all you do.
The only machine I have used is the cricut. I started with the little one and worked my way up to a cricut expression.
My Cricut Expression is my favorite machine! I sure would like to try out a Cameo, however!
Super Joy…you have had a lot going on so do not fret about missing SF day! I so appreciate the wonderful
giveaways you DO! 🙂
THANK YOU!!

I have the Cricut expression and love it. Haven’t tried any other machine. I do have the Cuttlebug for the dies and also love it so I am happy with my Cricut toys. Regina
WOW! What wonderful giveaways Joy! I just wanted to stop by and say HI! I don’t need to be choosen for this giveaway cuz I own that Xyron already and I’m actually “IN” the April Cricut Magazine Issue! And I’ll have a couple copies coming my way anyway! 🙂 Sorry you were a little under the weather but I’m glad your back to feeling good and sharing your creativity! My Silhouette Cameo will be here tomorrow! I ordered it from Amazon so it’ll arrive on my Birthday! I’m soooo excited about getting it and trying it out…. Luckily for me I can come here for any answers I may need! I want to thank you for that! 😉
I’ll let you know how it goes once I get it and start playing with it! In the mean time my Favorite machine is my Cricut Imagine! I have a lot of cricut machines, but that seems to be my “GO TO” machine right now! Ask this question again in 6 months and I may have a different answer for ya! LOL

I have loved my Cricuts until I met my Sil Cameo!! I feel as if I am having an affair on all of my Cricuts while I am getting to know my Sil!! I think it is my favorite of all of the cutting machines I have. I got the Sil and the cricut mini the same week, sooooo, they are both my favs as of now! thanks for asking!
I have a Big Kick and love it and fairly recently received a cricut as a gift–I am still learning to use it.
