Craft Test Dummies

Just when you thought the brilliant folks at ProvoCraft couldn’t take the Cricut line any further, they come out with something new, innovative, and completely want-able. Meet the Cricut Expression 2! Here’s an overview from the Cricut website: With the Cricut Expression® 2, you’ll be able to bring all those wonderful ideas swirling around inside […]

This is going to sound weird, but I really like my Cricut Expression. I got it about 3 years ago, and we’ve been through a lot of crafts together! I’m so familiar with my machine that, at this point, when I need to cut something, I can just load my mat and GO- I don’t […]

As CHA was approaching, everyone was asking- what is Provocraft going to roll out for Winter 2011?
