Why am I being charged to use the Annlie font?
When the lessons were recorded, Annlie Extra Bold was a free font, and had been for some time. But on July 23, 2021, it stopped being free. This is frustrating, but it's also the nature of how this works, so understanding this now is a teaching moment in itself. So presuming you do not want to pay for Annlie and do not want to become a Cricut Access subscriber, I recommend you use either Cricut Sans Bold or upload and use a free font from dafont.com for your sign instead -- here are some good choices:
Note: Do not attempt to download Annlie from another source that claims to be free, or you may expose your computer to viruses or malware.
