Design Studio In Your Hand

It no longer matters if the scrapbooker is riding in the car, relaxing in bed, enjoying a break at work, or on an airplane, the new Gypsy by Circut can take you to that special scrapbooking place that sparks your imagination and lets you create new and exciting designs. It is made for the creative, but busy scrapbooker who has too many wonderful ideas and not quite enough time and doesn’t want to be tied down to one area in the house.

Scrapers no longer need to by confined to a messy kitchen table, or have materials spread out in the home office to do their scraping, or even be tied to their computer. Now you don’t need to cut out all sorts of images or practice fonts to handwrite or even sit at your computer desk and design. Provocraft has done to scrapbooking what the Gameboy did for games. The Provocraft Gypsy has made scrapbooking easy, and portable, and even more fun. All this fun does come at a decent price though. But like all things careful shopping online can net you the best price along with the best merchant. It's all sold out but I've found one place where the Cricut Gypsy is in stock still!

I bought my Gypsy at Michael's Crafts yesterday (10/28/09). I couldn't be MORE disappointed! Why doesn't this devise come with a manual? Are we just supposed to figure out how it works? $279. and the screen resolution is so low you can't even read it. The processor is way too slow too. How can you guys charge so much for such a cheap item. Even the plastic casing is cheap. I am now stuck with a high priced item that I cannot take back. I do not have the patience or time to figure out how this thing works. No manual, seriously? Are we being punked? You guys really screwed up this one! Please advise? I have not downloaded any of my cartridges to this item. It has only been turned on, but I want my money back. Please don't send me another "form" response. If I don't get a decent reply, I will make a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
