The Kokuyo Dot n Roller is a great product. The quick click in cartridge pops right in so there is no more threading the tape thru your dispenser. Ease of refill isn't a reason to buy the glue... it's all about the adhesive & results. Kokuyo doesn't fail you. The items stay put & yet you have the ability to move something in the creation stage if you've changed your mind. It's amazing that the adhesive is so strong when it can be rubbed away the extra with your fingertip. This is one great all around glue runner & far surpasses every other one on the market (I've tried them all)

If you are one of those people that shy away from rub ons because of past mixed results.... I can so relate because that was me. I would worry about ruining a layout that I had worked so hard on with sub standard rub ons. Well what I have found was MOST of the problem is that the applicator makes a world of difference in getting full coverage & the results you want. The BG applicator does just that. It also doesn't leave indentations on your page from the applicator like the wood sticks & pointy sticks do. This is a must have tool in your tote caddy.

I LOVE the Cuttlebug. It's very affordable & can easily cut all the dies on the market from the thinnest Nestabilities to the largest Ellision dies with ease. I've had mine since it hit the market & use it all the time. The only replacement mat I've purchased is the B mat. The first one is bowed a bit but I still use it for running the dies thru -- I use the newer one for the embossing folders.

The embossing folders are my favorite product to run thru. They add texture & that WOW factor to any card/layout.

I've used the Sizzix & Revolution but I think you get way more bang for your buck with the Cuttlebug

I LOVE the Cricut Expression. The more I use it the more it amazes me.

There is nothing better than having the ability to make unique & interesting titlework that is the color, size, font that matches my vision instead of making due with prepackaged stickers/chipboard. Never running out of the letter "a", "e" & "t" is freeing & allows me to title my pages without a second thought.

I don't sacrifice the look of chipboard just because I'm using the Cricut. I just cut multiples of each letter/shape & adhere them -- usually 4 or 5 gives me a similar look of Thickers style letters.

Sure there is a learning curve with certain paper (Bazzill) but as long as you have a sticky mat the results are good
