Default Which is the best circle cutting system?

The Creative Memories system? Or the Coluzzle?

I am an SU demo and my friend is a CM consultant, so I'd like to support one of us -- LOL! (Which is why I'm selling my beloved Circle Scissor on eBay)

Let me know what you think -- advantages, disadvantages of both, ease of use.....all that fun stuff. Thanks!

i absolutely LOVE the creative memories system. i have actually given it to a couple of my close friends as gifts and they also love it. all of us have gotten rid of the other circle cutting gadgets!

i actually now have all of the templates from CM and have been happy with them all as they cut things easily and always turn out perfect

I'm a huge fan of the CM circle cutter system (and the ovals). I'm also told they just came up with new blades that are even better then the old one but they may not be in stock yet so if you can, I'd wait for those. They now have a swiveling system which makes the turns easier. I tried one of those circle scissors once and couldn't make it work (I'm challenged that way...)

Well I actually have both~the CM system is by far the best and has more shape options.

True if your not looking to purchase from another company but COULZZLE DOES have wayyy more shapes available outside of what SU! offers. But CM does leave a better cut IMO

I like the CM the best for the basic shapes, but the coluzzle has some really neat other things, such as the purse. I have both, and use both. Eileen

Another fan of the CM cutting system. I tried the Coluzzle and just couldn't get the hang of it.

Well, I'm an SU demo, but I absolutely LOVE the CM cutting system. I've said this before, though, I bought almost all the shapes, and I only use the circles and ovals consistently, so I wish I wouldn't have bought all those other shapes.

I also wld only recommend the CM cutting system.

It looks like you can buy CM online now @ http://www.creativememories.com/
and you can also buy from a CM consultant.

Another vote for the CM cutting system. I bought it long before I became a SU demo. It's the best.

Yet another vote for CM cutting system. I used my coluzzle for 3+ years and finally bit the bullet and bought the CM. Oh, how I love it.

I am not a huge CM fan (it's getting better - slowly but surely) but hands down CM's system is the best circle cutter. I have Coluzzle and use it occassionally but I know I would use the CM one all the time. Yes - Coluzzle has more shapes but if you are really looking for circles, ovals etc. go with CM.

Yep, basically I am just looking for ovals and circles, so it looks like CM is the way to go. Lots of votes for it!

I am also not a huge fan of some of CM's patterns and stickers (some are too cutesy for me). But looks like I will be buying their cutting system!

A friend put me on to Creative Memories earlier this year and their cutting system is the best thing since sliced bread. Tried a Fiskars one over Christmas and just couldn't get on with it but the CM is fantastic - perfect shapes every time.
