Hi ladies, and linbob (cuttlebug). l bought a cricut last Oct but because of home improvements and other things taking over l never even took it out of the box to check. The time l have had to spare has been spent on robo. l thought l would read this thread and see what cricut was all about, and very informative it is too. So much so that l left the cricut alone and against your better judgment l ordered an expression and CDS from CC. l'm pleased to say that after ordering on the 4th it is being delivered on Monday with a charge of £22.02. l got the pooh and teardrop carts with it. l haven't completely ignored the cricut over the past few months, I've been buying carts/ pens/tool kit/ 12 x 24 paper so l have something to use with it which was really one of the initial problems of not using it.
Robo has been put to one side in anticipation and l'm looking forward to using the new bug for my cardmaking and also doing some scrapping for which l have loads of stash.
My baby cricut is now with my friend who can keep it indefinitely. l did try it quickly before l gave it to her and was amazed at the simplicity compared to robo. I did read that linbob said the expression was slightly different to use so l didn't go into any detail with it, just one cut.
l wouldn't sell robo in favour of cricut as they are both so different and l love the delicacy of some of the templates.
Nice to meet you all
Dot
PS, by the way l was 60 last week so not a spring chick like most of you, my sons are grown and gone, l have 3 adopted special needs kids, two of whom still are at home and I'm granny to 4 grandkids who love my cards
