Is the Cricut cutter worth buying or is it one of those things that chills in your closet??

I want to buy a treat for myself and I don’t have money for a Cricut which is what I really want but this looks like I would be happy with it. Just wondering if anyone has one and if you like it.

i like what i see from the commercials about the Cricut machine for scrapbooking but is it hard to use and is it worth the money because i see you have to buy alot of cartriges and stuff and also what about digital scrapbooking what is the best soft ware for that i really like these

For a few years now I’ve been amazed by the Cricut infomercials. I’m a creative person and love a lot of the ideas that the advertisement shows.

I’ve been toying with getting one for myself but don’t want to have buyers remorse over it. Today, Black Friday shopping, I found two stores that had the Expressions for $150-$185. They by no means were flying off the shelves but from what I’ve researched seem like a reasonable deal?

My question (to those who own this product) is it worth the money? I’m not much into scrap booking. I’d like to get into but that’s not my main focus. I’m looking to make my own holiday cards, create some framed pictures, maybe make wall decor, label things around the house, make gift tags, etc. My fear is I’ll buy the product and the expense will keep snowballing. I’ve looked into the cartridges. Though they are cute I just want basic shapes and lettering. Do I need to keep buying mats, tools, special papers, etc? Is it easy and addicting or time consuming and painful? Do tell!
