I am enjoying experimenting with it through Inkscape. I bought an unlimited subscription from Quikutz and I have downloaded loads of shapes but I like the idea of designing my own die cuts for projects. I have just uploaded another speciality card I made 5 of last night, which was a requested item.

Personally, I think that I prefer the flexibility of QK Silhouette. I researched various machines fairly extensively before I bought mine. I didn't like the idea of having to buy more cards, cartridges or additional software to cut shapes. Some of the cutter designs are way to cutsie for my taste anyway. I have several manual die-cutters, the Wizard, Sizzix & Sidekick, Big Shot and QKutz but the cost of buying dies and then storing them just gets silly. Many of the dies have never been used because I forget what I have.....LOL. Having the cutter hooked up and the shapes on the PC make them far more accessible when I need them.

That's really neat, being able to do your own designs instead of just the ones you have to buy.

Ugh, I haven't been working on anything. I miss scrapping a lot. I need to start setting more time aside on the weekends to get some stuff done. Now that winter is here again, I won't have as much trouble staying indoors. =) One of my bosses has asked me to make her sons 1st birthday party invitations so I am glad something is going to get me motivated again. The good news is all my hard work at work has gotten me a nice raise and promotion, much better than I thought I would get after a year. Its going to make buying a house much easier! Great to hear from everyone!
