Thank you so much for replying Minnie. I went back to Michael's and bought the $25 pair of five or six scissors (with a half off coupon of course, I love those coupons). They cut a little better but again, some would get stuck on the metal piece on that first swipe down. Others, again, got caught on the cardstock or paper and ripped/shredded a bit and it looks so unsightly on my projects. I ended up bringing those back too. I think I will try the Martha Stewart or other "rotary cutters" next. Again, they're pricy but with coupons I can get them for about $14 or $15. I think the store might be getting tired of me buying these things and bringing them back. However, tonight I showed the gal on the returns register how they would get caught closing them down or ripping the paper. She could understand why I brought them back so I didn't feel so bad. They all know I'm a gooooood customer at Michael's!! Sal

thanks much for your warning. I am always leary of sites like this.

our local store croppers corral has it (my micheals does not) croppers corral has a web site www.cropperscorral.com i think. try it if you cant find it email me and i will send you a couple of sheets if you want. we went to the spring races 2 years ago and it does make really cute race pages. I love the races and the crowd of people ( i love to "people watch") but i hate the traffic. that is only reason i dont miss living in bristol anymore.
