You might want to check out the software programs that are available (Make the Cut, Sure Cuts A Lot, Design Studio) You can do a lot more with them. Also check out the message boards at Provo Craft when you are ready It can be a little overwhelming but so fun!!

I just got mine on Tuesday....it is pretty easy, I was able to set it up and make a few of the phrases it came with.
i am sooooo excited to play with it! You have to check out ebay for good deals on the cartridges!
happy papercrafting!!
