I'm looking for a cutting system, but I'm not that knowledgeable about all the options that are out there...so I was just curious as to which ones you all have used and liked or disliked...I've used the coluzzle system in the past, but that's about it. I was shown the creative memories system, but it costs $40, which is just a bit steep for me (I'm a tightwad!). I found the ez cutter system on ebay for $15. Has anybody used that one?

Any input you may have would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Amanda

I have tried coluzzle, and other circle cutters. (can't remember the names)
Sat next to a gal at a crop who shared her Creative Memories cutting system with me.
I took the plunge and paid the CM price. It WAS worth it!. No more frustration, no shredded edges, nor off-set circles. Bit by bit I have added other templates.

I am a consultant for the Angel Company, but my opinion is that Creative Memories has the best cutting systems bar none.

I agree with Karen, I love my CM cutting system, nothing even comes close IMO.
To offset some of the cost you could talk to your consultant about hosting.

Creative Memories, hands down! They are the easiest to use and with the new rotating blades, they got even easier. Wouldn't use anything else.

Hey Amanda!
I've not used the CM or Coluzzle. When I first started out I got the fiskars one at J's w/a 40% off coupon and have a few templates-not a circle one though. They're not expensive at all, especially w/the coupon.
I'm happy to let you borrow it and see if you like it. I'm not far from you, so just holler at me and we can meet at the church or at McD's or where ever-I'm only about 6 miles from ya.
Let me know.
Stephanie

Hey Amanda,
I purchased the CM system years ago (well 6 to be exact!) I used a lot in the beginning, of my scrap-booking and for the money yes it is the best for circles that you can see where your cutting. At this time 6 years later, though I really don't use my circles, ovals and such, it seems like a waste, but I'd be willing to talk to you about using them for a while, and if you like them we can talk about a price. I'll bring them to girls night out on Friday 5/16 and you can check them out if you want let me know!
