Imagine Video: Vball Girl

My BF Nicole came over Sat. night for the first time since mom’s brain surgery nearly five months ago. It was much needed and we played with my new Cricut Imagine!

We made a volleyball player and a darling princess.

“The Next Big Thing From Provo Craft!

As a Cricut Circle member, we wanted to introduce you to the exciting new product being revealed and celebrated at CHA. Let’s hear a warm round of applause for Cricut Imagine, the world’s first tool that precisely prints and cuts with the touch of a button, requiring no computer or software.

With print and cut together, now and you can add color and dimension to your creative projects, bringing them to life like never before. Cricut Imagine saves you time since you no longer have to use three different tools to get designs, print, and then cut projects.

In addition, Cricut Imagine is easy to use and is built upon award-winning cutting and printing technology from Provo Craft and HP.

So here’s my question…

Isn’t part of the layering and “piecing” what makes the cuts have flair and dimention? Do you think your projects will be better with an image cut out and printed all on one sheet? I mean, not having to glue every piece would be nice…but will it lose some of its “homemade”-ness?

And what about the price? $599 is pretty steep. Do you see this replacing the Cricut machines we use now?
