National Convention

Cricut® Expression 2 Features:
• Larger, faster and full color LCD touch-screen display with s stylus – no more keypad overlays!
• Material setting – choose a default setting for materials you use most often, like cardstock, regular paper, chipboard or more. OR you can customize your own material setting.
• Image Sizing – now on the same mat, you can have images of all different sizes. You can customize your image sizes to fit your pages, so it saves on materials.
• Layer View – you can see all of the creative features and layers right on the screen, including shift layers. So there’s no need to keep referring to the handbook.

Creative Memories is participating in a national 3-month Cricut® promotion beginning Sept. 1. All participating Cricut products will include a special code that can be entered to win all sorts of prizes, like machines, cartridges and even a cruise! 

Only the Cricut Expression^® 2 machines sold through Creative Memories Consultants comes with 2 full cartridges and will include a bonus Creative Memories exclusive Best of Times Sampler Cartridge – for the same suggested retail price of $299.99.  

Creative Memories is leading the way – we are the first in the world to pre-order this machine. They will not be sold anywhere else until the end of September when they will be available during a one-day HSN event. Then, in stores by mid-October.   You can order on October 1st.   CM will receive priority shipping over retail – so when the stores will be clamoring to get them, ours will ship FIRST!

Creative Memories and Cricut have teamed up again – allowing CM Consultants to sell the new Cricut Expressions 2.    Available in October the Cricut Expressions 2 is jam packed with lots of new features.  (The images on this blog are of the anniversary edition E2 – I’m not sure yet what color the version will be that I’ll be selling.)   I’m waiting on the specific details about this machine (including price) but here is what I’m able to share about the E2:
The Expressions 2 has a  full-color, LCD touch screen. You can easily access editing features like auto-fill & quantity and also new  tools such as mat preview, which will allow you to organize all of your shapes and designs and see exactly how they'll fit on your mat, before the first cut.   With this new LCD color screen you don’t need to use your overlays!
Here are some more features of the Cricut Expressions 2:
Wireless                                                                                                       
Cutting Area Light
Longer Power Cord
And MUCH more!

 Compatible with Cricut and Cricut Imagine Cartridges

Gratitude Collection–CM & Nancy O’Dell partnership continues

I love Nancy O’Dell!  She is a 4th generation scrapbooker & knows & believes in the importance of album making.  She’s held parties for her Hollywood friends to teach them how to scrapbook – quickly!  She loves CM, too – and has the dates of Showcase (CM’s annual convention) written into her Entertainment Tonight contract!  She could be in Venice now w/E.T. but chose to go to Showcase in Minnesota, instead!
