I was over at a scrapbook forum yesterday and saw a pretty interesting discussion about people's most favorite Cricut cartridges. Here were the top cartridges, based on popularity:
Storybook
Graphically Speaking
Home Décor Solutions
Life is a Beach
Opposites Attract
Stretch Your Imagination
Wild Card
Paper Doll Dress Up
A Childs Year
Pooh Font
Home Accents Solutions
Walk in my Garden
Tags, Bags, Boxes and More
Stamped
There weren't an overwhelming number of people who replied, so I though it would be fun to ask all of my Cricut friends here.
What's YOUR favorite Cricut cartridge (or cartridges)? Just post your comment below...I'd love to hear it!

#2 Doodlecharms
#3 Locker Talk
#4 Home Decor

#2 A Childs Year
#3 Stretch you imagination
My faves (so far):
1. Jasmine
2. Paper Dolls
3. Cuttin’ Up
4. Stretch Your Imagination
5. Speaking of Fall/Winter (make beautiful page titles)
I just got a bunch of new cartridges that I haven’t got to play around with (including Stamped, Sesame Street Font and Friends, Speaking of School, Calligraphy, and From My Kitchen) so I suppose my list could change. I think every scrapper should have Jasmine for a basic font cartridge though. It looks perfect on fancy pages (my sister’s wedding) and on baby pages (my newborn son). Also, I’ve used Paper Dolls so many times. It’s super versatile. I never would have bought it on my own, but my mom-in-law had it come with a bundle pack she bought and it is by far our favorite. I highly recommend it.
I have to agree with a few of the cartridges mentioned here but I also love George and Basic Shapes and the Plantin Schoolbook.
#1 Just Because
#2 Happy Hauntings
#3 Celebrations
I’m having a great time with Stretch Your Imagination. Since I’m new to all of this, I hope to find many more cartridges to enjoy.
Storybook is my favorite, but I also like Old West and Life is a Beach.
My favorite is
(I use the super cute images all the time)
Doodlecharms
Paper doll dress up and Everyday Paper dolls are a close 2nd/3rd

My favourite is Storybook but Cindy Loo is coming a close second
My favorite is Paper Dolls. I am a math teacher, and I make people to represent my students when they reach a goal of 60 or more multiplication facts in 3 minutes. I put the people on a bulletin board. Looks cute and is fast and easy.
I am very new to using cricut but i am already in love
I bought a bundle and it came with paper dolls
My daughter has me on the machine daily making paper dolls for her and brother to play with
I bought Happily Ever After for her Birthday invitations and i am having trouble getting them just right THink it is just my lack of experience but I love the Disney Princess and so does my almost 5 year old
I’m a new cricut user, so far my favorites are:
Stretch Your Imagination
Just Because.
I make cards so I like the shapes cartridges the best.
Diane
I love paperdolls dress up!! Too cute!!
My favorite cart right now is Happy Hauntings Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoy most of the cartridges but my top choices are: Cindy Loo, Just Because, Create a Critter, & Give a Hoot are among my favorites.
My favorite cricut cartridge is Paper Doll Dress – Up. I don’t have Storybook but I think I need to get it.
I am also new to having a cricut. Wish I had bought the bigger machine but the 6″ was all I could afford at the time. I’m saving for the 12″ and am sure I will use both in the future. Anyway so far my favorite cartridge is From My Kitchen. It fits in with a lot of my projects.I also want to get a few more cartridged as soon as I can.
I use most of my cartridges. However, the ones I tend to look to first are:
1. Simply Sweet
2. A Child’s Year
3. Everyday Paper Dolls.
My favorites are Storybook, Old West, Life’s a Beach and A Child’s Year.
I only have three cartridges so far , but I really like Lacy Labels. I was surprised it wasn’t on the list. I’m not into scrapbooking but I do make a lot of cards.
my favorite card it Elmo’s Party, it’s a “happy” one. But I don’t use it much.
but the ones I use the most are:
1. George and Basic Shapes
2. Stretch Your Imagination
3. Doodlecharms
I really like Accent Essentiaol and Plantin Schoolbook, I also like all the seasonal cartridges so much.
I have 120 cartridges and I think Don Juan and Keystone are my favorite cartridges . I know my friends say I need CCA (Cricut Cartridges Anonymous). HaHa
Thanks and have a great day
I like STretch Your Imagination and have used it quite a bit
I love Cherry LImeade and have used that font A LOT!!
Mine came with Everyday Paper Doll and it’s great too
My current favorite is Create a Critter, but I love Paisley and the Paper Doll cartridges too.
I have 60+ cartridges and lots of favorites but the ones I actually USE the most are Life’s a Beach, Old West, Paper Doll Dress up and Everyday Paper Dolls. Can’t wait to get the new Nifty Fifties cartridge!
I only have 5 carts, 2 came with my expression, the others are New Arrival, Give a Hoot and Create A Critter. I really like the beautiful simplicity of the New Arrivals, and it works well with my clientele, but the animals from Create a Critter are SO adorable!
i guess what ever cart i am using at that time is my favorite! right now it is the elegant cake
all though i am using it on my expression, it has a lot to offer as far as bordering plagues and picture frames. create a critter, paper doll dress up, stand and salute just to name a few. but it is so hard to pick just one or tow.
Pam
Still rely on Plantin schoolbook most of the time

My Favorite Cricut Cartridges so far are….
Mickey Mouse and Friends (my mini Mickey Mouse album looked great)
Summer Vacation (one of the first ones I bought I have used it tons)
Old West (love the letters)
I recently just bought Accents – the description said it did layers of shapes for Scrapbooking and I have just made two different sized circles for a card and I think I will definately find this one very helpful in my card making and Scrapbooking.
I cannot wait to use
Joys of the Season
Rock Princess (bought it for the roses)
Storybook
My World
Destinations
Lifes a Beach
Sentiments
Next year I will be using October 31st & Thanksgiving & Pumpkin Carving (I loaned this one to my best friend and she decorated her house with this cartridge… Holy Cow it does a great job on the patterns she had them all over. A Happy Halloween Pumpking garland, she cut faces and taped them to her tiles in the kitchen, she made invitations for the kids to give out. There was Accents everywhere in her house, just using this cartridge. You could also print them out to use to cut the pumpkin with)
Not sure why I bought this one Cricut Office Help – so far not one I am using or see a use for.
Sure hope that inspires someone to get a cartridge they were questioning.
