I figured if the amount of time remaining until midnight is less than half an hour, it's close enough to Friday to post my Friday favorite.
Tonight I went to a scrapbook night at a scrapbook store. Next to bookstores, scrapbook stores probably make me happier than just about any other kind of shopping arena. Just to be surrounded by paper and albums and adhesive (and I do not SNIFF the adhesive, thankyouverymuch) - it just all makes me very happy.
The bad thing about short crop nights is that you just get going when it's time to quit. So tonight I just took a little project to work on, so that I could leave feeling like I'd actually accomplished something. I cropped all my pictures and rounded the corners so they're ready to go on the page when the time comes.
And therein lies my favorite. The Creative Memories corner rounder. It is the only rounder I've ever found (and I've used several) that does not make my thumb feel like it's about to fall off after punching my 212th corner. I do not wake up the next morning with carpal tunnel thumb. I do not wake up without feeling in my thumb. That alone makes it a winner. But even better - it has the little corner trap. I'm sure they've given it a much more eloquent name - but that's what it is. It's a little trap door that catches all the corners as you punch them off - so they don't go flying all over the table like fingernails in church (SHAME on those of you who do that!!). When the holding tank gets full, you just open it and dump out all the corner pieces - neatly into the trash can, of course - and then you start over!!
I know not all of you are scrapaholics like I am - but if you are, and you don't have this corner rounder - you gotta get it.

I an not a "crop-aholic" or anything, but I do love the CM corner rounder. :)
Got it, and love it. However, I let my trap overflow, so my corners are still flying around the table.
Hey Deb - Yeah I guess it would work better if you actually emptied it. But sometimes you get so caught up in scrapping you forget things like emptying the corner rounder trap!! Jaena - you know that I would love to turn you into a scrapaholic!! It's only fair since you got me into blogging...
I have one, too and I love it. In fact it's the only CM thing in my entire collection.
