jennylynn38@hotmail.com
I love what this machine does, but not sure if I'm ready to make that investment yet.
I would love to try.. I love the layer look and if this made it easier WOW!
kathywittlock@scrapinkats.com
This looks awesome!
Hmmmm Will have to think on this one....Ummmm...Duh! Ofcourse I want one! Wow that was fast....LOL
beejee77@comcast.net
thank you, thank you. You asked all the right questions. Looks like I'll be saving $'s instead of pennies from now on $599.00 is a bit much.
MsJoyceG
Impressive......happy now I still have only the baby bug. Won't feel so bad about upgrading 2 this. LOL!
Awesome video! Thank you for getting all the details for us. It looks like an amazing machine, but will have to wait and save my pennies. Linda

I think this is going to be on a LOT of Christmas lists this year. Looks amazing.
Another great card. Please keep the ideas coming. It is time to get started making those Christmas cards so I don't stress out later.
TFS, Ruth
What a neat new machine. But there are more things I want to buy with my money for that cost!
I love this new machine!!
thanks for sharing this! I'not sure this will be on my wish list anytime soon. however, still really cool!
The Imagine seems very interesting but pretty expensive! Thanks for the video :)
calliepitchford@yahoo.com
The new machine has many possibilities, but I hate buying ink cartridges, they get expensive.
Wow from I see this looks awesome. All I can say is bravo Cricut you have done an amazing job keeping us on our toes with new products. Love it might be a while before I can afford it. LOve it
Looks pretty cool!
This is so neat! I'd love to play with this machine before making the investment.
Wow! I can see pros and cons with this machine, guess it just depends on what I am creating at the moment! Would be very fun to play with one though!
They sure are coming out with amazing new products. It's a great idea if you don't already have so much invested in the Baby and Big Bug, cartridges, mats, and tons of awesome cardstock and patterned papers. I can hardly keep up with the ink in my printer. Then again, it would be an exciting addition and option. Thanks for the video.
That's amazing! I just want to get the Expression. :)
Oh how I wish I were at CHA - you guys are living the dream! Thanks for sharing a bit of it with all of us!
I want one (but will have to wait)!
This machine looks awesome, but too expensive right now!!
interesting. I had a Craft Robo, and the print and cut never worked right (it was off), so maybe this will be better? But I'm still learning my regular Cricut, so it's not for me either...especially in this economy.
Oh boy, this is going to be so cool! And I like the fact that you can cut out the image in one piece, then cut it out in separate pieces and pop dot them for dimension!
Wowza - a little concerned how ink will hold up over time and have had trouble in the past with adhesives and Ink jet ink! That said ~ this is really an amazing piece of technology.
What an interesting new machine. I think I would play before I buy.
Wow, this looks really nice but I just got my epression for Mother's day....Are there any holidays in Aug that I can say this is a gift for???
This seems interesting, but I already have 2 cricut machines! but maybe this would replce both of those or I would just have 3!
Cooooool!!
~Rachel in Sacramento
It's a lot to take in but seems like it has a lot to offer but not sure I'm ready for that kind of investment on top of what I already have.
Thanks for the video. I'm more impressed now that I've seen it at work!
Wow amazing, not sure my budget will allow, but awesome machine...
Thanks for posting this! Very informative!
AWESOME! Thanks so much for keeping us updated. Shari (cricutrookie)
I like it, but the only way I will ever get one is to win it and I am not that lucky
Linda
This machine - it's just a dream!!!!!
How cool:) Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us.

monita23@ca.rr.com
Thank you for this in depth look at this new machine. It looks awesome.
Wow! Thanks for giving us a look at the Imagine. It seems like some of the art carts have the feel of some digital scrapbooking graphics. :) I wonder if you could use it to not print and just cut if you wanted? Like the others commenting, $599 is a bit steep, but hopefully some people can get it on sale and enjoy it. It's not for me right now, but maybe in the future. :) Thanks for letting us participate in CHA remotely! :)
Wow!!! WAY cool!!! Can you girls find out if this ink will hold up to Glimmer Mist without running???
Thanks!!!
Hugs!
New stuff all the time from cricut. Amazing. Santa, I have been a very good girl.
The New Imagine looks great although a little out of my budget right now.
Thank You for sharing the video.
What an innovative idea! However, I love to be creative in designing and making my cards and pages, envisioning a final product and then putting it together with various colors and placements. But, wow - looks like fun!
Thanks for sharing the video. Really awesome machine, but a little steep for my scrapping budget.
Tthe machine does awesome things BUT a bit pricey and the cartridge are the same as the cricut...
I think I like to layer my pieces so for now I guess I'll stick with my cricut expression whic I love..
thank you for sharing this video with us...
Great video, but the machine sure is PRICEY! Although you can use the old carts, you'll still need to purchase the New Imagine Pattern Carts.
It has some really cool features and it's just so neat but the truth of the matter is..... I have kids and they need things first. Plus I have so many other toys of my own. I think hubby would finally have to say No to me. Should I fall into some dough then we'll talk!!!
Thanks for the video..hope more info will be available soon..for example: can you spray these images with Glimmer Mist without having the ink run?
Wow, another cool Cricut toy! Thanks for the info.
WOW!!!! What an amazing machine!!
sweetdulcecreations at gmail dot com
I my goodness. Wish I could have been there! Awesome!
Interesting looking machine! I wonder how long an ink cartridge will last. I know my regular printer goes through colour cartridges quite quickly, so will it be more economical in the end? I think I'll stick to learning how to use my expression for now.
Wow that is amazing. It would be a great addition to my crafting.
Would be a blessing to share with my daughter.
Billie Earley
The machine looks nice and I like that it can print the items in color but it is a huge investment. I wish they made it so it can print pictures from our cameras and other things, then maybe the cost wouldn't hurt so much knowing you can make a complete 12x12 layout. Thanks for sharing but I like my cricut and layering.
WOW! This machine is really cool!
Looks like it can do some pretty cool things, but not in my budget!
This looks like - Wow!
thanks great video but 600 a lot of money to much for me right now
thanks debbie
Thanks for sharing!
Not my style at all! I will not need this machine! I'm still saving for an E.
ccfromflorida
Wow! I didn't realize how cool this would be!
You asked great questions about the functioning of the new machine.
Thanks for the video. I am surprised it does not cut chipboard.
Thank you so much for the video! This new machine has me really excited about all of its possibilities!
AnneMaflan on the Cricut MB
This looks very cool...but I kind of like the challenge of choosing and layering my own papers. If you could import and print non-Imagine cuts - that would be a whole differnet story!
How exciting to be at CHA! I am truly jealous. I have the original little Cricut and have been wanting to get the Expression. I had been waiting for this release to see I wanted to buy it instead of the Expression. Although it's amazing what the Imagine can do, I think I would like to get the Expression. I really enjoy doing the layers myself, just want to be able to do them larger! :) Have fun at the show!!
Great video! Don't think the imagine will be something I'm interested in, but it's always nice to see what's new!
jaggi 3 at hotmail dot com.
Looks awesome...wondering how expensive it will be since you will need ink and like all printers, it doesn't last forever. Thanks for the preview!

The new machine looks awesome!!! Just something else to wish for!!
Carol
Looks like fun!
interesting machine! Thanks for sharing the video! =)
Looks fab but I can't afford to move from my Personal Cricut to the 12x12, much less this.
Thank you for getting the machine in action!
ooo, this looks so cool!!!
most cool!!
Thanks Joy!
Looks interesting.
Wow, not sure how I feel about this machine. Maybe if it connected to a computer so you can print and cut your own art... but TFS the info!
Sweet! Not sure I can afford it though...
tamara_bennett7@hotmail.com
Great video. Looks like a cool machine, though too pricey for me. I wish Provo Craft would come out with a way to cut your own images. My husband and myself are artists and would love to be able to cut multiples of our artwork.
kimbodagr8@cox.net
Looks neat, but I think I'll stick to my expression.........
Thanks for the information.
bobbi
This is a great demo. I haven't gotten to watch all of it. I have waited a long time to enter the cricut world. But, I finally did with the personal cutter. I was excited about this new machine but the fact that it doesn't cut chipboard makes me wonder if my upgrade should be to the expression? I can't wait to see all the projects that people do with this!
Thanks for the video. I am not too
sure I would want to invest money in buying ink for the machine all the time. We will have to see.
jlbabbott@msn.com
Holy Cow!!! Do they ever slow down!? That's way too much for me. I've got just about all the cartridges I want. There are only a couple more to get and I'll be good to go. Thanks for sharing. I'll bet you're having a blast!
Thanks you for the video and all your cards sample. The machine sounds very interesting. Love seeing the video demo. Would love to win.
Benita(bpeacock@archconcept.com)
Sounds nice that we can pick a particular color for our cuts. Wish it came out earlier. I do like that it is HP printer. Ireally would love one, however a little out of my price range, maybe if it comes on hsn and has payment options. By the way can you get that Toy Story Cart for me. LOL!!
Thanks for the video showing the imagine in action! Looks like a fun machine. Gulp, a little scared of the price, right now I need a washing machine more! lol
hmmmm....looks pretty cool. But I'm LOVING my expression!
Thanks for giving us a glimpse of this new Cricut product. While it looks wonderful, the investment might be too much for a lot of people especially when you can't use your old mats (I have 3 that I re-glue and rotate). We will still need to buy cardstock.
Thanks so much for the video! It's wonderful to see the new machine...and thanks for asking great questions.
wat an amazing machine! this is really wonderfull!
Hope it comes very soon to europe!!
graatz, hilde
How exciting!!! I would love to get my hands on that machine. :)
Thanks for the video! It answered alot of my questions.
Thanks for sharing the video!!
Holy Cow! I know what I am asking for for Christmas!
The new machine seems great but I am not ready to buy ink cartridges for anything else. My printers use enough. I can't imagine that the quality is a good as if you use paper. I would have to see it to really judge. I have tons of PC clipart. It would just be the same as if I could print out my clipart and something cut it. I guess I will have to see.
Excellent video - you guys did a great job of showing us what this can do. I'm certainly not ready to move to this machine - buying all the ink does not appeal to me - but it's such awesome technology!
Thanks so much!
Debbie (from Sugar Land)
This would be great to have.
oh my gosh - that cricut imagine is amazing! thank you for sharing the video so we can see what it looks like 'in person'. wow! :)
Thanks so much for sharing this info with us and taking the time out of your schedule for us. You are awesome! Thanks for the chance to win! Julie
julesmish@cox.net
Great machine...but geez! I just finally upgraded to the expresssion...dang it! $599.00 is way too steep. I'll be waiting for a couple of years for the price to drop. When you factor the price of ink with it...and the new pattern cartidges...this will be more of a strain on the wallet than I can handle.
Thanks for the video...wow! At this point, I'd be happy with just an Expression that works!!! My LED screen went out completely today so I am so excited about this giveaway!
Thanks for the opportunity to win! :)

Wow! What a neat new toy to have. I'm so happy with my big "E", that I don't think I'll be moving up to Imagine, but it sure looks like fun. Enjoy CHA, and keep the info and new card designs coming! We love your inspiration. BethAnn M.
i think the machine looks nice everything in one machine.
Nice machine....but out of my price range. I just ordered my first Cricut (Personal) Cutter last week and am anxiously awaiting its arrival! I think I'll have to work up to the Imagine. Maybe, if I hit the lottery, I can get one!
Thanks for the video. Like others, I'm not sure about this machine yet. I don't like refilling the ink, I have too much paper already, and the price is way too high. It's pretty neat though. Glad ya'll are having fun.
Wow, this just went on my Christmas list!
cjbarclay at gmail dot com
that price will have to come down a lot, as well as the price of carts. But it is a really cool machine!
It looks like fun! Not sure if I want to have to rely on ink cartridges tho. I have soooo much paper that it really doesn't make sense for me right now... but you NEVER know, I can be easily persuaded. :) Thanks for the great video, wish I were there.

OMGoodness this is a nice crafting
tool......I am on fixed income it is out of my reach
Linda J.W.
I was excited to see what the new machine would be but to be honest I don't love it-I am not a digital scrappy I love the layering and texture that real paper crafting gives you.
kateb @ buckeye-express.com
Awesome machine, but it will be awhile before I can invest.
All that I can say is WOW! I don't think I'm ready for this...I just got my Expression a few months ago but maybe in the future. Patty
P_Glielmi@msn.com
Wow! This is one super cool machine!!! Just wish it didn't cost sooooo much.
WOW, this looks like one heck of a machine although it is a little pricey for me. May have to wait a year or so for the price to come down but it is definitely on my wish list, that's for sure.
Nice machine,I like the features but a bit too expensive, specially in this economy.
OMG! What a great new toy! Tell Santa I want one now! haha I guess I will have to start saving now and maybe I can afford it by Christmas I hope. I already have a Cricut overload now. They just keep coming out with something else we just have to have. Thanks Cricut!

wow, this looks so great! more to drool over from PC.
Boy, they don't every stop coming out with new things, do they. I'd have to see it up close. Seems to me the printer colors would never be as rich as the actual paper.
peifert@fuse.net
How Exciting is this!! I would love to be a winner on your blog!! thanks for the chance :)
Cool but not for me maybe someday. Jinger from PC said she'll be on HSN on Sept. 14th. That's when the guy said the Imagine will be released. I'm pretty sure it'll be a Special Value on HSN. Thanks Mel & Joy. mississchic @ yahoo dotcom
Can't afford the Imagine, but cool!

oh WOW what an awesome machine i would love it but as i haven't even got a cricut machine yet which i sooooooooooo badly want i think it might be best for me to get something like the cricut expression or one of those first to get used to using them thankyou so very much for sharing this video with us it was amazing xx
Thanks for showing us the video! The only problem is I want one really, really badly now. I am so glad it will work with the cartridges we already have.
What a neat concept, but not what I'm into! Provo Craft never fails to amaze me with what they dream up. I am still talking myself into upgrading from a baby bug to the expression!! I wonder how long the ink cartridges last and how much they'll cost to replace?? That could get pretty pricey. I think I'll wait to form an opinion once it's been out for awhile and tested! Thanks for sharing, what a fun time you guys had at CHA!
Wow a machine that prints and cuts. Love it and what a fun machine to play with it. Thanks for sharing hope to have this machine later in the future.
Will have to see more. I'm not sure this is for me. I know the price would have to come down and then it will depend on the price of the extras, ink, different mats, and the carts ect. But it looks neat.
Thank you so much for sharing the details. I, too, would love to play with it, but won't be affording it for awhile (birthday/Christmas/Mother's Day/Anniversary combined???)
Wow, what a great concept - it would save so much scrappin time with being able to print all the layers on white cardstock. Still didn't get how the cartridges we already have would work on that machine. Would love to play with it and see more of what it can do wth what I've already purchased.
TFS and have fun at CHA

Enjoyed the video! Any Cricut would be awesome!!! Thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I had so many questions, and you asked them all for me!
Wow the next cool thing. It seems like it would take alot of work out of finding the right paper, but I think that's the fun in scrapbooking being able to pick your colored paper. What a wonderful prize.
This machine looks cool, but I don't think I want to spend the money.
I love that you can customize the colors!
Gee, and I am still trying for the Expression.
Wow the new machine is so cool, another item to add to my ever growing wishlist
Absolutely love the border!!
It looks amazing but quite a hefty price tag. I bet this will be on a lot of christmas wish lists this year :-) Hope you all are having a blast at CHA!
I thought this machine was going to be used for adding journaling to shapes. I still think it looks great, but I know how fast I go through ink with my regular printer...with the ink refills being 40 bucks, I'm just not sure this machine, as great as it seems, will be cost efficient. I'm still researching though...maybe somebody will create something that will change my mind. If anybody can do that...it's you two ladies with all that talent you possess! :)
I really like the idea, but absolutly no way I can afford it.
What an incredibly clever concept. I think that Cricut Imagine will become the standard for all electronic die cut machines. I recently purchased an Expression and, for now, that will be my "go to" machine. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the update on the Imagine. The price, however, is not such good news.
janburdette@comcast.net
O.K. I'm looking around the house trying to find what I can hock on eBay in order to buy this magic machine!!!!
I think I'm in love with a machine!!! This is just awesome! :)
Boy, This is different. I do love my personal cricut and was thinking about paying the larger one now I guess I should wait to see what this one can do and the price. Maybe, I'll win one. Thanks for sharing.
This was a great information video. The new machine is awesome.

Fab demo and GREAT questions ladies!!! TFS!
Thanks for the video. Looks very interesting and would be fun, I'm sure, to use. But I'll keep using my Expression and Baby Bug. I still have a lot to learn about both of them!
kat1890@hotmail.com
That looks sweet! I'd love to try one!
My friend and I have been having a hard time finding the 12x12 cutting mats.... now I think I know why. Since you can use these new ones with the new kind of adhesive maybe they are getting rid of the old green mats...just a thought. Between the machine, cartridges ,mats and ink... I think this maybe too price for me, even though I like what it does..... kgrin

Love this machine! Someone was a genius!
What an amazing machine!!! Way too pricey for me though.
Looks so cool. Thanks for sharing
Susan
Thanks for the video. Pretty cool! I will stop by the booth this weekend and check it out. What will they think of next?!!
Thanks for all you do for us. Looks great.
mcwooten1999@carolina.rr.com
The Imagine looks cool, but I know I won't be plucking down that kind of money. I sure hope all my favorite blogs don't start only using their new machines.
desaucier at bellsouth dot net
Looks really cool! Thanks for sharing!!
sueot33@yahoo.com
Awesome! I don't think I will be getting it anytime soon though. I just got my expression machine so I can't justify getting the new one yet.
I am a follower already, and I would love to play with this machine!
You really got us a lot of info. But does it work with Design Studio? I never heard anything about that. I like the concept, but I see spending a lot on ink. I know how much I use just mainly printing my sentiments. HP ink is high.Maybe someday, but I can't see $600 right now and have the added expense of ink, too.
I think that it would be cheaper to continue buying paper because the ink is going to finish up fast. I have an HP printer and the ink doesn't last that long.
Oh no, please tell me I'm not the only one that can in no way afford that! Very cool, but definitely not a tool my budget will allow anytime in the far future. There's so much new stuff out there already I don't think we're ready for this yet. Just my opinion.
thanks for the video can't wait to try this out for myself
Neat machine, but I'll stick with what I have.
Think it's a fantastic machine, but not sure about the cost of 600.00 then the cost of ink...and newer cartridges... Lot pricy for my budget.
This is a beautiful card,,, I love it,,,,,, would LOVe an expression so I can do better lay outs....
nkmedar56@gmail.com
wow!! I have a question for you...we still have to buy cartiages fonts are seperate from shapes is that correct?? but cut down on color cs only need white..right? plus we need to buy color and black ink too???..ok..a few questions..LOL..but it does really look cool and easy to use
cardchick50@gmail.com
Interesting, but ouch for my credit card. Not only the machine, but the cartridges, and the stickler for me is the printer ink. I can imagine going through quite a bit of ink while using this machine.
Thanks so much for the demo! You asked the right questions.
Looks interesting, looking forward to seeing more.
thsnks for the demo. like others have posted, this is a bit too much of the budget. eileen efghaus@yahoo
What an awesome giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win
Oh My GOSH! Way cool....
Wow, talk about fabulous! Way over my budget ... time to start a penny jar. lol
Hugs, Christine
Okay, I need to figure out how to place my photo on here. I like to see who I am conversing with, so I have to get crackin.
I will just have to dream about the new machine for a long time. But wouldn't it be nice to win the Expression for my birthday on next Wednesday. I wish.
This is such an awesome machine!! Looks like it would be lots of fun to play with for sure.
How exciting!! I would put this on my Christmas List, but Santa would have a heart attack - LOL!! Thanks for the great info!!
At first I was thinking... NO WAY!!! I don't need this Cricut Imagine machine. Then I got to thinking how cool it would be and then I thought... OH NOS!!! I gotta get me one of those, NOW!!!! Alas, I don't think it will ever be in my budget, but I will never say never and just dream that someday the precious machine will be MINE!!! :) Thanks for giving us this awesome video! :)
Thanks for the Video Ladies! It's nice to see what this machine is all about.. I don't think I'll be buying it though.... Price is a little much and the Ink Cartridges will cost you money, if you plan to use this thing.... HP makes great printers but they get you in the ink... Provo should have tried to get Canon.. At least when a color runs out, you only have to replace that one color... HP Printers don't have that option... If you run out of yellow tones first you waste ink....because it's a color combo cartridge... I use to own Hp printers...I know how they work.... :) But I'm sure there are lots of lucky viewers who don't mind the extra cost of ink.... But I do.... Can't wait to see what else is going on at CHA! :) Have fun ladies!
IDK about that machine.. wouldn't mind winning one! but as of right now.. NOPE.. the die cuts seems to computery..
I am very happy with my expression but the cricut imagine is very awesome.
How cool! The price is high and the cost of the ink cartridges concerns me, though. Maybe one day when I get rid of my computer and other 2 E's (don't tell me husband - lol), I might give it a try.
I think this machine is AMAZING!!! I love how you can change the look as well!!! The one thing I am bummed about is that the price is WAY out of my reach so I am not going to be able to make that kind of an investment :(
Thanks for the fantastic video. It's a very intriguing machine, but like others have said, the steep price is holding me back on having to have it.
Wow, another cool "gadget" from Provo Craft. I'm attached to my Expression, but I am thinking I'll have to start saving...
jvn7777@hotmail.com
That is simply awesome! Thank you for showing it to us. Mystery solved. I love this site.
Thanks for the demo. It is amazing the advancement they have made.I would love to win. Enjoyed watching. I hope more demos will be in stores. Love to do crops sessions.bobbylu 62 @ ligtel.com
looks cool but a little on the pricey side!
Very interesting, but I think the ink would bankrupt me,
PennyG
moosecollector17@yahoo.com
Would love to have one, but it cost to much and buying the ink also.
Wow! This is going to be a great machine, but a little too expensive for me right now. I would love to have one eventually
