I decided to go ahead and get one of those Heidi Swapp things from Costco the other day since I'm doing some little girl pages, and there were some cute flowers, and the price had dropped about $5.
Just tried to open the package and GOOD GRIEF!!!!! Who put the plastic on these things?!? It took me literally almost half an hour to get the hard plastic shell cover off, and that was because I had to butcher it with the scissors a little piece at a time. I also managed to scratch myself and poke myself with the little sharp edges arising from that. My hands (slightly arthritic) and wrists are killing me now :-( and even though the items aren't as flimsy as I originally thought they all were, I won't be purchasing any more of this brand simply because of the packaging. :-(
