trying to decide between cricut create or expression...

[noahsmom]

any thoughts, suggestions, comments, etc. would be greatly appreciated! I am a CM consultant and will be taking cricut with me to crops so I'm leaning towards the create due to size.

I didn't know you were a CMC too.

If I were to purchase a cricut now, I would get the cricut create. It is my understanding it has all the same features as the expression without the size. 12 x 12 or 12 x 24 cuts are just too big for me. I love the size of my baby bug, it fits perfect on my scrapping table.

Several of the ladies who come to my crops have the expression and bring it in a bag without any worries. Mrs Dopey uses a great tool bag that she got at Home Depot, LoganandTylersMama uses a quilted bag. I carry my baby bug in the original box back and forth to crops.

I"d get the create. I have the little bug and the expression and I wish I just had the create! Too late now!

I'd go with the expression. I think it is much more versatile. I love being able to set something up to cut in the middle of my 12 x 12 page. Now if I could only get a 12 x 12 printer I'd be a happy camper!

Another Expression lover here too! I cart mine all over the place and they just came out with a bag that will help me cart it. But honestly, you can't go wrong with a Cricut!

I would suggest the expression over the create. Though it's nice to have the features of the expression in the create you will find (maybe not right away) that the ability to use a full 12x12 workspace invaluable. I've make very cool disney overlays that I would not have been able to w/o the expression, not to mention wordbooks, feel free to check my blog for some of my things done w/the expression. *February's entries have some pics of the overlays.

Expression here too - I very often run a whole page of the same thing using the fill function (my Mickey head wreath is a case in point). Also I sometimes cut title pages using the design software to create a centered negative image backed with something else. SO glad I didn't get the little one - i'd have been frustrated in short order.
