Die-Cut Machines for Scrapbooking

Name of product: 

Cricut Expression

Date of purchase: 

2009

My Review 

This machine has been one of the most cost saving tools I have for scrapbooking, card making and paper crafting. I've made so many embellishments, titles and frames! with a little glitter or embellishing you'd never know they are homemade - what a cost saving! It is SO user friendly! I've purchased a program that allows me to draw and save that into an image that the Cricut will cut, you can even use parts or all of a photo! Each cutting device has it's own saleable feature but the Cricut can compete with anything they do, including embossing, coloring, making stamps, and cutting large items to use for wall decor. Replacement blades and enhancements are reasonable with coupons that JoAnn Fabrics sends you. I'll buy another if this machine ever dies!!
