Cricut Machine
The Cricut Machine is a convenient, easy way to cut letters, words or pictures for scrapbooking, or other crafts.
Before I get into my review, you should know that there are two different types of Cricut Machines available to purchase; Cricut Create (smaller) and Cricut Expression (larger)....

Unless you are into big time scrapbooking this machine is too expensive. it works well but costs too much. The mats don't last long enough. Mine didn't work for more than a few cuts. I use it for greeting cards and not scrapbooking. To be a good investment you'd need to use it more than I do...

I used to dread pulling out my huge boxes of pictures, but now that I got this Cricut machine I look forward to scrapbooking. The hardest part of scrapbooking for me was trying to figure out how I can make each page a little unique or special. This task becomes extremely easy with the Cricut machine.
You can have the machine cut out frames, shapes, letters, and just about anything else that your heart desires. I do have to caution all the ladie out there though. You WILL get sucked into buying quite a few extra cartridges just because you have to have the Disney themes, or you have to have...

Since getting my Cricut and Expression I haven't bought any scrapbooking embellishments except paper. The Cricut allows me to cut titles, embellishments, cards, boxes, and more in sizes ranging from 1 to 5.5 inches to use on my scrapbooking layouts, cards, or other projects. Because the machine only weighs 7 pounds it is portable and can be taken to crops and scrapbooking retreats.

I got my Cricut for Christmas in 2007. I have to admit I didn't use it all that much at first. Then Provocraft came out with a TON of exciting, new cartridges. I bought some and now I'm HOOKED!
My favorite cartridge is Storybook. I has everything from princess crowns to birds- even an owl. And it has a TON of swirls and flourishes to fit everynook and cranny of your scrapbook pages, handmade cards, posters, and decor. AND it also comes with a complete font that is to-die-for! I can't wait to buy some vinyl and make some shapes/phrases for my walls. I live in an apartment so I'm thrilled at the...

I received the Cricut last year for Christmas. I am an avid scrap-booker, and really wanted this but the price was pretty steep for something that i just wanted and didnt actually need. They run around $300 for the machine and it comes with one basic cartaridge that includes mostly letters and words. I was excited to get this item and tried it out right away! I love how it cuts in different sizes that you select and is fairly simple to use. I had it working right out of the box in less then 10 minutes.
To use the Cricut you attach a piece of paper or card stock to an adhesive board and click the...

Cricut Expression bought from Authorized Dealer, arrived broken. Dealer said "contact Cricut". Waited 15 minutes for rep. Followed directions and waited 30 min as told. Machine still could 'not find cartridge'.
Called again and waited again. Misty said, yes, machine broken, email proof of purchase to me, I'll call when I receive it. Two weeks - no call - no response. I sit with over $400 machine and cartridges that do nothing.
With what I am sure is a great machine. But Customer Service is either way understaffed or the machine is so unreliable they are swamped with defective/broken...

The Cricut create has really changed the way that I scrapbook. It's amazing! I save so much money by not having to purchase letter stickers and I love being able to make custom designs for my pages. The initial investment might seem like a lot for some, but it really isn't when you do the math.
I really held off for a long time before I purchased this machine. I didn't think I would ever use it, but not I can't imagine scrapping without it. If you are on the fence about this machine, I would say Go for it! You will get addicted within the first few hours of using it.
Cartridges are pricey, but...
