So, yesterday....

I went to a crop with some friends and tried out my new alphabet dies.
Oh, my goodness! What a fun time I had with them!! I loved how I could cut them from the coordinating pp and have them match perfectly!

I got Quickutz Central Park, which was a little bigger than I expected, but it was still good.
And I got Quickutz Cotton Candy, which is a great size and pairs nicely with the Central Park.

Have you been playing with any new toys/tools/products lately?

I do love my QuicKutz dies; glad you're enjoying them, Leigh! I bought the MS paper scorer yesterday; I think I'm about ready to start playing.

Glad you are enjoying them. I haven't gotten any new supplies lately but I am anxiously awaiting the newest CHA releases!!

How fun! Sounds like they were a big hit! I haven't been playing with anything new recently....I think it's time though! Hmmm...shopping???

i love and adore fonts. yum!! sounds like a great pair i'm gonna need to check them out. i'm still waiting on my big shot. sigh....

Well believe it or not Ive been playing with all of the Creative Memories tools that they sent me - never ever used any of them - but have to admit they are fabulous....

I have also been playing alot with my new Cricut...still not 100% sure Im in love with it but I think it has its uses...for me I think its finding the right cartridges.

What I've been playing MOST with is paints and glue...Soul Restoration really has me stepping out of my boundaries!

I actually uncovered some embellishments that I forgot that I had the other night when I had the intention of re-organizing my space.....so, I scrapped instead.

Which CM tools do you like, Lori? I've used their circle cutters and mini-trimmer for years. I used to have two of their large paper cutters (two different systems) but I switched to a Tonic Guillotine trimmer several years ago. Oh, and I have a CM corner rounder.

Isn't that fun?

yes, it is very fun! ....and it was one of those "ah huh" moments!

I have only been playing with some Cricut cartridges that I've had for a while now, but not used yet. Haven't had any funds to get new stuff -except the $1 stamps at J's that were 60% off. They're Christmas ones, so I haven't gotten "into" using those yet. I tried really hard to get the hubby to let me go to Michaels or price match at Walmart for some new cartridges, but that was a no go....

I am considering a Slice...anyone have it and love it? Seriously, the "tool" (if it can be considered one???) is my Heidi Swapp Edge Distressor lol!

You can't have enough fonts so cool!!!! I know that my most recent purchases have been more border punches and Cuttlebug embossing folders. I can't seem to get enough of these things and I LOVE using them. Seems like they are pulled out for about everything.

Those really look like fun fonts, Leigh!
Look forward to seeing them on a page!

That's so awesome Leigh! I haven't gone to a crop in forever. Sounds like you had a lot of fun!

I would also like to hear if anyone loves the slice and is it worth it? I already have a cricut, so do I really need 2 things that do the same thing??

I've also been thinking about the slice, but already have a Cricut, so I hate to spend the money unless I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy need it. I will say that I have several friends that have a Slice Elite and they really love it! It totally makes me want one.

Like Lori, I have been using my Creative Memories tools as well. I've always used their circle templates and small trimmer, but their 12 in trimmer is divine as well!! They have some great punches out, and their edge distresser is another fave of mine.

Then there is my Imaginisce tools. I hadn't used any of them until I joined their DT, and I have to say they are so much fun! My top 3 tools from them would be my I-rock...LOOOVE!, my I-top, and their new cordless glue gun.

Doesn't the Cricut do much more then the Slice? The Slice only does one thing at a time. I'd like to upgrade to the Elite. I bought my Slice from a wonderful scrappy friend and have gotten cartridges from Ebay.
