If you are like me, you really weigh the worth of paying for something. I don’t like to waste money, so I need to be sure it’s worth it for me to pay. When I got my used Cricut last fall, of course it didn’t come with the free trial for Cricut Access. I decided I wasn’t going to pay for Access at that time. Then my son got me a brand new Cricut for Christmas (bless him!!), and it came with a 1 month trial.

I am nearly through my first month trial, and let me tell you, I will be keeping my Cricut Access subscription! There are so many projects, images and fonts to choose from that you get the full $9.99 per month value out of it. I’ve been going through and choosing random projects to do, just to try them out. For me, it’s so much fun, and I love all of the choices.

Recently, I made these adorable recipe cards. The project was available as part of the Access subscription. You can make them with any color card stock, and I chose to use this lime green along with the black pen. But, you are able to customize them to your preferences. This is just one of many projects available in Cricut Access.

Also available to you are images. Yes, you upload your own images, but Cricut Access has thousands, as in 100,000+, available to you, as well. I have been having a lot of fun playing with the different images available. You can search and find pretty much anything.

There are so many fonts available to you, as well! If you only ever used the different fonts, and none of the projects or images, it would still be a fantastic deal! The shear amount of fonts available for you to use make the price worth it. There are hundreds of fonts to use, and let me tell you, there are some super cute ones in there!
