Cricut or Cricut Expressions?

Which one do you have or would you recommend?

My b-day is coming up so I'm looking for some ideas for DH. I think I just missed the regular on sale at Joanns from last week. LOL. Go figure.

I think I'd be o.k. with the regular Cricut but of course the Expressions looks SOOOOOO tempting

What do you think of it/them? Do you use it as often as you thought you would? I often scrapbook 1-2 pages a day of DS's stuff and thought this would be a nice addition.

Thanks everyone!

I have an expression that I got on black friday last year for $199 and it came with two cartridges. I don't use it as often as I'd like, but that's because of my lack of time to use it, not my interest in it. There are lots of fun things you can make with it, cards, boxes, stuff for scrapbook pages, stencils to use for decorating t-shirts, etc. It also cuts vinyl, so people are using that to put sayings on their walls, decorate photo frames, etc. ALSO, it can cut fabric! You should check out the cricut messageboard and see all the great things that people make! If only I had the time!!!

OHHH, and you should check out the pink stamper's blog. She also has a youtube acct, so if you look her up there, you can find her blog. Robyn is awesome inspiration!
