I am looking to purchase direct from Provo Craft, wholesale, but can not seem to find out how to do so. Can anyone help?
Folks, the purpose of asking this question is to get an answer. I do not need to be inundated with ‘answers’ that simply inform me of where else I can get these items, other than direct like I asked. Also, I do not need an ‘answer’ that tells me how much I can or can not buy when buying direct. I do not mean to be harsh, but some answers are not answers…but simply folks with time to kill and an opinion!

I may be interested in purchasing one, but I would like to use my own designs. In order to cut out designs, do you have to purchase different die cartridges, or can you program it to cut your own designs? I have no clue how to use this, but it sure looks interesting!
Let me know your experiences, difficulties (if any), and tips one should know prior to buying one. Thanks in advance. 5 points to the most informative answer!

I love to scrapbook and make my own cards. I want to buy a Cricut machine for those reasons, but I did see that with one (or all, not sure) you can even etch glass with them and that seems interesting to me as well. I don’t want the larger machine, I only want to make the small letters and cut outs for my scrapbook, cards and such. But Ive heard of so many different names for the machines that Im not sure what is out there, if anyone can give me some advice on the machines, prices and what is required to work them that has one, I would appreciate the time taken to answer my question and help me make an educated purchase! Thanks!
