Anybody out there used the Coluzzle to make the jigsaw puzzle-type page? I almost purchased the set, but decided I'd solicit your input before spending that much money!

TIA!!

No, I don't have the puzzle ones. I do have the oval and heart shaped ones and think they are really easy to use.

Tandy, I can't say I've used this tool before, but I can tell you that I've heard nothing but good reviews about it. Some bits and pieces I also remember reading about it: it works better with 4x6 pics than 3x5, also works better with well-centered photos, and you have to be careful not to accidentally "flip" it the wrong way or you'll end up with pieces that don't fit into the "puzzle". Lastly, have you checked out the Coluzzle website? They have info and samples of layouts using the product on there. The link's below. Hope that helps.

some easter layouts that may help for future page. The first one is very basic, I did it 2 years ago with only a few weeks of practice, the 2 other were made last year. Easter was very rainny in France, so I took the idea of the umbrella! I would like this Easter is sunny but it seems hard! Here is a link that might be useful: easter ideas

Heart template

Definitly Coluzzle Heart template. It's easy to use and produce a nice smooth edge once you cut it out. Beside, you trace & cut in one step unlike other hearts templates where you've to trace it with pencil then cut it and you don't get a very smooth edge. In addition, it have different sizes of heart shape in a less than 4'x6' template. Creative xpress has the most varieties of the coluzzle. However, the price on the templates are not the best.

Best Circle Cutter to Purchase??
Q

I have the Circle Scissors by EK Success. You can get them at WalMart for about $14, I think. (I was lucky enough to get mine as a present, so I'm not positive on the price!) It took a little getting used to, but it works very well! You basically stick the tiny blade (which comes sort of like a pen or exacto knife...and also comes with refills) into a slot on the circle template and rotate it. Viola! I think the trick is not to apply so much pressure. It's also flat and compact so it's easy to store.

What new product are you dying to have?

A few weeks ago I went to a scrapbook convention in Arlington, TX and took a class about how to use Zig Twin tip markers. Even though I hate my own handwriting (and currently use my computer for my journaling) I think I HAVE to have a big set of these pens. They have four sets, and I would love all four but each one (with 48 pens)costs $100.00! I keep looking for a good deal on one of these pen sets but none of the craft stores in my area carry them. I would even settle for a used set. Anyone out there want to part with their set?

I have the puzzle one. I've used it maybe 3 times. It is kind of hard until you get the right grooves going. The cutter has a little swivel end on it and it is hard getting used to. It works tho. Michael's has a section with a lot of their supplies and templates and great Paper sets.

Any of you ever use or have the paper doll one? I tried to use mine last night. I got the doll cut out. The skirt is easy enough to figure out, but how do I get the girl's hair on the head? And what are the two lines right next to the head on the template for? There are only 'generic' directions on the back. And our Michael's cancelled their Coluzzle demo last Saturday because the teacher was doing a child's birthday party in the classroom. Can any of you help me? TIA Sarah
