Crop-A-Dile

Oh I love the idea of using my cropodile on belts! I would have never though of that either! Great for the kids too, so I can pass them down from one to the other faster, LOL!

I just picked up a Cheetah today! I was using a smaller Xyron and it was going through cartridges like mad!
 
Just got back from Costco here and no sign of Crop-A-Diles. :( Oh well, I still got mine for 50% off, so I can't really complain. The extra goodies would have been nice, but not the biggest deal.
 
wow - I'm here a week and already yall are a bad influence :p I got it at Costco online for 25.40 including taxes and shipping! :thumbup: NOW I need to go shopping to get some hybrid projects to use it on LOL
 
gee, no luck for me - I would have to renew my Costco membership first, never mind the 2 hour drive to get there. Same with Michael's, it's in the same town. lol
Somehow I don't think hubby will let me drive two hours to get a Crop-A-Dile. lol
 
I got a Crop O Dile and a Cheetah at Michaels along with oh 10 rolls of ribbon for like 25 bucks..not too bad IMO since the Crop o dile is that itself lol. They have some solid ribbon 6/$1 so I snagged a bunch of it :)

You have to use the 40% off Michael's coupon for the Cheetah it's not on sale but it only ended up being 7.79 after the coupon and the Crop o dile was 13.99
 
I ordered my Crop a Dile from JoAnns online a couple of weeks ago when they had a promo on it. It arrived, but I haven't opened it or used it yet. I also got the Cheetah tape runner to try out in lieu of Mod Podge. I'll be using it all on a few albums probably tomorrow!!! :)
 
I was so mad when I went to Michael's on sunday, cuz I forgot my coupon! And they no longer carry the circular in stores because people who check out 15 times using the circular coupon, lol.
 
ours had them in the store...I didn't have an ad at home. I used the 40% coupon from the ad I picked up on the way in the door lol

Oh sure, rub it in! LOL!

I bought a bunch of stuff and it was almost all on sale. I read Stacy Julien's "Big Picture Scrapbooking" and "Photo Freedom" so I bought stuff to reorganize into that system. So I can't complain too much. I need to resign up for their circular. I don't usually get it now for some reason.
 
Our Michael's doesn't have the sales flyers in store either. And I didn't think they mailed out their flyers either, I always get them in my Sunday paper. I may have to check into that cause it would be great if they do! That's a good price on ribbon so I may have to go check that out! I'm trying to build up my ribbon stash for hybrid projects!

Oh, that sucks! It really stinks that some stores won't do the coupon for you.

Which reminds me, I almost forgot... ours had stacks of leaflets with a 50% off coupon at the register that will be valid from April 12 - April 18, so look for that one in flyers, mailers, at your Michaels or wherever!
 
Actually Col, there's a huge sale at Michael's this week - 60% off! I think it's 60% off the crop-o-dile too.

HOWEVER...if you want to buy a crop-o-dile I'd wait until the Crop-O-Dile BIG BITE reaches Joann's and/or Michael's! It reaches 6" into the page whereas the first version only reaches in about an inch! It retails for $39.99.

I'm having patience until it reaches the stores so I can use a coupon. I heard Hobby Lobby has them already but there isn't one close to me.

Wait! What? There's a new & improved version coming?! Dangit, maybe I should take mine back since I still haven't opened it. Do you know how long it'll be before this other version comes out, Mikkel?

I think Col actually has the Crop-A-Dile already, but she was annoyed she forgot her coupon for some other purchase.
 
Yes I already have my crop-o-dile, I was jsut annoyed that I forgot my coupon. I DID get a cricut cartridge for $40 though, which is awesome. It's the baby one, perfect for these albums I'm making.

I have no need for the big bite since I have an old school eyelet setter that reaches anywhere I want :p
 
Woo hoo!!! Picked me up one today at AC Moore, they didn't have any coupons there at the store and as I was swiping my card the girl informs me you can print them at home from their website and print as many as you want!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR!! Could have saved me 40%!! LOL!! But I am dying to play with it now!!
 
Okay, silly question from someone's who's only ever been a digi girl (and now is making lame attempts at hybrid) - what do you USE an eyelet for?
 
To attach things together. But it leaves a hole in the middle. When you use the bigger eyelets you can punch a hole in the chipboard or something, and then thread ribbon through it.
 
Holy schmoly, that is one big arse Cropamadile! I think I'll stick to the regular one for now. It's all cute and pink, so maybe I'll name it like Jamie's new laptop, lol.
 
Joan - I called Michael's yesterday and spoke with a manager of the scrapbooking department. She said she isn't informed of new things that are coming to the store to stock HOWEVER she is familiar with the trends at Michael's and since the crop-o-diles are 60% off it is a good sign that it's because something new is replacing it! Hopefully it's the big bite!

I have the eyelet setter too but I get really tired and fed up with it! And it can't punch holes in thin metal and acrylic like a crop-o-dile can. So I'm willing to purchase the big one to give it a whirl! I'm really into acrylic lately so I'm sold. :thumbup: Thank goodness I have patience though and can wait!

Btw - yes, you can print AC Moore coupons and Michael's takes Joann's coupons and vice versa. (They just generally have to be from the newspaper, not printed off the computer.)
 
I'm really tempted to place an order somewhere and get some acrylic albums. SO tempted! I might do it when I order some American Crafts 12x12 albums for my new system. That is a good point about chipboard or metal or acrylic and the big bite.

It's a good thing Jordan ignores my scrap area for the most part, lol
 
Oh geez, now I have to go too! Thanks for enabling, Bree! :blink: I just read about it on Ali Edward's blog too - it now comes in green! :thumbup:
 
Thanks Mikkel!

I wonder if it will be the Big Bite and the green regular Crop-A-Dile that comes with the case. When I checked We R Memory Keepers site last night, they had a case with the hardware available in pink so that if you'd purchased one before you didn't have to miss out on the case. It was marked as a new item, so maybe they're phasing out the Crop-A-Dile that's sold on its own. What to do... what to do.... the Big Bite is, well, BIG, lol... is it worth having both of them?

Ack, what have you guys done to me?! I wasn't going to get into hybrid in the near future, at least not until I get my crafts area unearthed from under the mountains of disorganized crap that has taken over our basement! Now suddenly, between Michaels coupons/sales, I have a Crop-A-Dile, a Cutterbee Mini and a Cheetah! :blink: :p
 
A Cutterbee MINI, Joan? Aw, come on - splurge! GET THE BIG ONE (or am I thinking of the Cutterpede paper cutter b/c that comes in small and large too.)!!!!

Supersize it all! Big Cutterbee, Big BITE!
 
Eeeeeeeeevil enabler!! :p

Ooops, I meant Cutterpede Mini, by Cutter Bee. This cute li'l guy:

Don't worry, I will purchase a big one too. I have a big Fiskars that is ancient and crappy, so would like to find the best replacement for that eventually.

Okay, someone link me up to acrylic albums so I can see what they're all about already. Dammit, look what you are doing to me!! :cursing: :p :D
 
LOL Joan!!

Acrylic stuffs

Ali Edwards uses those. They are just clear albums really. I know they will soon have a solid white one, which looks AWESOME and I def want to pick up.
 
Thanks, Col! Hmmm, well price should keep me from getting carried away and running out and grabbing some right away. I'm sure after I see a few finished projects I'll get tempted though.

So, is clear acrylic the new black, or what?!... can't swing a cat without hitting some lately!
 
I know it is for digi, lol. Acrylic elements and alphas have been around for a while for paper scrappers, but these acrylic albums are pretty new. Or new to me at least.

I want ALL of Cosmo Cricket's blackboard albums. Black is so much better than the flat boring grey-ish chipboard. (Robin are you listening??? :p)
 
Yes Joan - you surely need a BIG cutterpede. I had the fiskars cutter when I first started and it's not that good.

The Cutterpede comes in PINK and white now. It's AWESOME! But I can't afford it full price and I've only seen it at my LSS in that color (I've seen a lavender color too). So I have the green one I got for 40% off at Michael's.

I am LOVING my Acrylic Albums. I have a 5x7 album of my cruise trip almost complete so I'll post photos when I'm home later.

Col - I saw that white acrylic album on Ali Edwards' blog. It was AWESOME!
 
You still didn't say where you get your acrylic :p

I just realized with all the stuff in my cart over there, I didn't add any acrylic! LOL! Oy!
