I used my Creative Memories circle cutter tonight!

I finally purged mine last year

I still use my CM circle cutter too. I remember when I ordered it the rep tried to talk me out of the purchase saying how infrequently it would be used. I use those circles way more than the ovals which largely sit untouched. I've never seen the need to buy circle punches while I still have the CM cutters.

I still have and use my CM circle cutters too! I love all of CM tools. They have the best tools ever and they’re very well made and last forever. I just recently had to replace the small photo/paper cutter.

I had gotten rid of mine, but after using them at a crop bought myself another set and have used them a ton already. They have a permanent place in my home now.

I still have mine from 2002 or 2003, the CM circle punches too. I don't use them a lot but I would never get rid of them.

Yup still have & use mine. The CM scissors are my favorite and most used scissors in my craft space. I never get rid of tools.

I use them all the time - mostly for cards - but sometimes for layouts.

Love them. They made great tools!

I still use my circle and oval cutters occasionally, although not often in my albums anymore. They are useful for card making, for those who don't want shaped photos.

Just about any and all older tools can be used for card making. As a result, there are very few older tools that I don't use. Besides, most tools make a comeback eventually to the scrapbooking world.

I do, too-  but I think there's a bit of a size range where they don't work, or else I'm missing the smallest template.  I have a 2-inch punch, but I thought the circle templates wouldn't cut anything smaller than about 3 inches, and sometimes I'd like to cut something in-between.  I should look at mine again, just to be sure.  

I have mine, plus the ovals and hexagons.

I haven’t used the circles or hexagons lately, but I did get out the ovals to finish some high school senior pictures I wanted to add to a layout.

Who remembers trading photos with friends? I graduated in 1980, and we all traded wallet photos within our friend groups. Usually, you wrote a nice note on the back and signed it (lots of i’s dotted with hearts Lol). I did not want to adhere the photos to the page and lose the handwriting on the back, so I cut rectangles a little larger than the photos with about an extra half inch at the top. I made a crease at the half inch mark, then centered the oval cutter over the rest of the rectangle and cut a window. Then I taped the photo to the back of the frame, so the main part of the picture shows through. I glued the half-inch strip down on my page, making it a flap that I can lift to see what is written in the back. I wrote each person’s name on the front of the frame.

I did this layout with all the pictures I had of my class. Recently, I found an envelope of pictures from the two classes ahead of me, and I’m doing a layout with those now.

I have a bunch of the tiny photos we traded before senior year that also have writing on the back. I don’t know that I will go to so much trouble for those. I’m thinking of putting four of them together and taking a picture of the backs, then cutting those out and adhering them beside the actual photo. I could have done that with the senior pictures, but since I already started with the frames.....

I have the CM circles system and even have that extra large circle they had for a while. Honestly though I don’t use them all that often. I’m more likely to just use one of my nested circle dies. But the CM ones do come in handy when I want the different sizes. And I bought plenty of blades when the company was going through the “changes” in focus so I’m good.

I love the look of the extra big circle, I am going to have watch for that one!  

I have quite a few of those mini Punchkins too!

I inherited a few CM cutters from my Mum but sold them a few years back.
