Okay we all have heard by now that Provo Craft and Novelty, Inc.
has come out with new machine called The Cricut Explore™
I'll be the first to say .... Darn you PC I'm so mad at the way you handle us the consumer
"CRICUT" lovers in the past! I have purchased over 10 machines for giveaway as
prizes to my followers and I personally own every cutting machine you every made.
Well almost all I never got the image wasn't too excited about the ink cost. But you lost
me at the E-2 it was just too much, and by that time I was a HUGH Make the Cut™ fan and
refused to give that up, so my Cricut Expression (YELLOW) that I fought black Friday shopper for
was my machine of choice... my Silhouette™ Cameo sat in it's box afraid to lose
my beloved MTC software choice. Yes that right my Cameo sat it a box un-opened and not
being used why would I need to use it? I was able to cut out anything I wanted on a machine
I loved and worked wonderful for me... I still shopped for all things Cricut love the little green bug
and I have over a 100 carts what more could I ask for! The deciding factor was
I wanted to update my Make The Cut ™ software
by now they came out with so much new things you can do
with their software. I wanted access to a store full of so many files
from so many talented artist that my head would be spinning.
So I opened the box and took out my Silhouette Cameo™ downloaded the
Designer Studio Software and updated my Make the Cut™.
My palms where sweating and I was so scared but I quickly learned
how to cut on my cameo and in no time was creating beautiful cards and
Scrapbooking layouts and 3-D project for my home oh and Vinyl saying are the bomb!
So each CHA I would looked for the Provo Craft Booth and each time the green bug
was no where to be found, even this last CHA 2014 Winter Show no PC Booth.
Then January 21, 2014 they announce the release of
The Cricut Explore.
So where they go for the last year or so why such
the overhaul of the company and revamping of things? These are question we
all like to know but truthfully they not required to tell us that company business.
We can choice not to buy the new machine and by the comments on social media
I have say we all pretty torn and on the fence hoping that we can believe Provo Craft
and what they say, but even if its not perfect they will sell thousands of these
new machine. They are a cutting software company and we all want the newest
thing on the market and if we can use our tablets that something new!
Yes, Provo Craft is a Company not our friend on Facebook
or someone we invite into our home to craft they have avenue for that
Cricut Forum where we can fill your social need for approval

They are in it to make money that why companies are in business.
Something do great and something don't but you can bet they keep trying
to meet their percentage of the market shares.
