Happy bithday Wifey and Mad frog

looking to buy a good quality paper trimmer, the ones i have looked at so far are the Purple cow combi trimmer and the fiskers rottery blade trimmer but i would consider any recommenations, need to cut 12 x 12 and not cut squint like my carl trimmer does

might be going to card class later

hugs

I've got the Purple Cow one, but because I'm used to cutting fabric with a rotary cutter I tend to use a cutting mat and a ruler with a blade in. I bought both items from QVC the mat and rulers are magnetic. The folks at C&C tend to rave about the Tonic stuff, so it might be worth having a look at that range.

Happy birthday to both our birthday girls for today - too early for singing yet, so I'll just have a cup of tea in your honour - in fact as there are 2 of you I'll have to have 2 cups of tea:coffee::coffee: (i know that's officially coffee, but as I have tea in mugs it will have to do xxx)

Paper trimmers:

I have the x cut guillotine but mine's blue not pink - they come in 2 sizes if you don't want the 12x12 one.

I think someone had one that cut squint but I've never had a problem with mine - I have thought it was a bit off a couple of times but discovered that A4 card isn't always cut with right angles

Happy Birthday Wifey and Mad Frog - hope you have nice relaxing days and plenty of stash presents!

CT - Glad you had a great day. Sounds like you got lots of lovely stuff. Glad the job hours got sorted

Paddington - Lets hope your bosses behaviour continues. It might make it easier to work there then. Would love to see a pic of your stash!

Cardpaperscissors - Its sticky on one side, just peel off backing and stick it on the die. Then when you next put it through the die cutting machine, it presses into all the gap

Pennib - Love your card - all the fabric looks fantastic

Stash piccys are now on my mutterings place Plus a card I made with one of my new stamps

In reply to a couple of comments about my new header piccy I did it myself using a digi paper and bears from Friendly scrap nice gift set using Gimp free photo software :rotfl:

Advance warning there will be mini candy in my OSAAT post tomorrow I might even have decided what it is by then
