cuttlebug

I've never seen them at HB, only at Micheal's. Since I've not used this particular system I can't give any pro's or con's.

I can't answer to Hobby Lobby having them as we don's have one anywhere aroung here. I would like to suggest though that before you make up your mind, you make sure that the cuttlebug allows you as much diversity as possible. It's a lot more fun when you can use all sorts of dies and it usually saves you money in the long run! There are a number of machines that will cut the cuttlebug dies as well as others. For example the BossKut, which I love, can simply by changing between two cutting mats, cut, Sizzlets, QK and Bosskut and dies.

I seen stuff for it at Michaels yesterday.

I seem to remember that JoAnn's sells the cuttlebug, or do they just have the dies? You might want to check your JoAnne if it's one of the ones whith a big scrapbook section.

In my are it is carried by Michaels, AC Moore and Joannes. I haven't been in a Hobby Lobby in ages so I couldn't answer about them. You might want to peruse the cricuit message board, alot of folks there have both machines. I have heard some about the plates cracking with use.

The recommendation to check out the versatility to make sure it does what you want it to is excellant. I chose not to buy one and bought a big shot instead.

I just got an ad in the mail that Jo-Ann's has the Cuttlebug machine on sale for $49.99 from Sun the 25th till Sat Mar 10th, thought you might want to know.
