Thank you so much for the suggestions. As soon as I get some money up this will be my next purchase.

I had a FISKARS, hated that thing. I bought the green ProvoCraft cutter with the pink blade (like Jennifer's) at Hobby Lobby and I love that thing. It's probably one of my favorite tools.

I also have a swing arm cutter that I got for $12 at a Harbor Freight tool store...I guess it does pay to go with dh to those stores I hate sometimes, huh!? However, a friend has it right now...but I like it as well.

My Fiskars has been driving me so nuts lately that I am using a cutter that my husband used years ago for cutting pictures. It's not perfect but it will do until I can get what I want.

I was always skeptical of the Friskars trimmer because they looked so flimsy that I was afraid that they would break or not work so when I was at a Stampin' Up demo someone was using one and I asked to use it and fell in LOVE with it. I have had mine for about 6 years now and wouldnt be without it. I think it is all about using it LOTS and getting used to it. I also have the Friskars shape cutter with tons of different templates where I can cut out all types of shapes and I LOVE it. My mom bought it also but has had all kinds of trouble with it because she doesnt like the way it works but also doesn;t work with it enough or give it a chance. You have to keep working with something to get it to work for you. I dont want to spend a bunch of money on supplies so I just keep working with what I have. I think that after you work with it awhile you will start to like it. It really is easy to use.
