Thanks for the info...good price for the sb paper, but I'm curious and I don't mean to be rude, but what do you do with the 50 sheet value paper? Good price, but it's so, well cheap.

I use the 8 1/2 x 11 value pack paper for trial runs, experiments, pieces of paper to give my son when he wants to do what I am doing. I have in the past used this paper for my scrapbook pages as well as cards before I discovered how nice SU CS was. I also can share this cheap paper freely with friends and family that are just learning and experiement and as scrap paper for idea making. And I suppose some people like this paper.

I let my kids use the cheap Michael's paper. I was just looking at an older scrapbook that I made using that paper and I can't believe how flimsy and cheap it looks!

I give the cheap paper to my kids but I also use it for cheapy notes. I make up a whole bunch to send notes to the kids' teachers and just put a simple stamp on them. Plus, sometimes I use it if it's not the main stamping surface when I'm making a mass amount of cards.

Thanks for the info now I can plan what I want to buy.

Thanks Catty for the info. I use the paper - Im not too proud to admit it. I'm sure there's many more here that do too and are feeling a little, well, cheap.

I am glad for the coupon - I wasn't able to get there for the last two coupon weeks so I'm sure I can find something i 'need'.

Lori,
For my white I use the large pack cs from Sam's Club, that works very well too and a real bargain

[stillstampin]

Thanks for the news - I'm real excited as I have been waiting all week! My DH gave me a $50 Michaels gift card for Mother's Day and wanted to wait for the 40% coupon so that I could get the best value for my money. I am thinking of buying a Fiskars rotary cutter which also has different shaped wheels (deckle etc)for the edge of cards as well as for scrapbooking. Please give me your thoughts on a good cutter.

[Ouch!PaperCut]

Whew ;) Glad to hear you've found the big girl stuff!! Not that there's anything wrong with it!

[ematson]

I have a Fiskars rotary cutter and I hate it! The fiskars rotary cutter did not give a nice clean cut. I have since bought an old fashion guillotine paper cutter that I much prefer. They are pricier but in my opinion worth the money.

Sorry, but in my opinion....don't waste your money on the Fiskars Rotary Cutter!! I had one and the cuts are TERRIBLE (in my opinion!!) especially any of the 'special' wheels. I have a Carl cutter and absolutely LOVE it!!

Just my honest opinion.....

[azure722]

I agree -- the Fiskars rotary cutter is not great. I am getting a carl soon and will be giving my fiskars to my SIL who is new at this.

[Lori Swarts]

I have to agree about how bad the fiskars cutter is. I feel like I wasted alot of paper with it. I went to Staples and bought a guiollitine cutter that I love for $30. Just adding my two cents.

I went to Michaels yesterday and used my 40% off coupon to buy the Cropper Hopper 12x12 Workstation filecabinet/rack thingie. It's $130 Canadian, and I got $52 off!!! Woo Hoo!!!!! The downside: it only has 6 file folders, so I have to order more from the company.
