Lookin' good OY!

How is everyone that is punching hole already going about punch the holes for the binding? I have some might sturdy pages here.

Thanks guys!

I too, am a crop-a-dile junkie.  Notice my covers are made from canvas board!  I love this thing, punches through: CDs, clay charms, wood, fabric pages, tin, other metals, etc.  I haven't found anything it can punch through yet!  Also, I punched my covers the other night at 2am, not waking anyone in the house up...it's only about as loud as a regular hole punch; and takes the same amount of effort.

My ATC group on Sunday teased me that I should get commission on these the way I get so excited about showing others.

Great eclectic page Colorfuldayz.

I might have to pick one of those up next time Hobby Lobby has them on sale.

I thought the bind it all would be the love of my crafty life but the crop o dile has taken top spot!!   Its so easy to use (I always used a punch and hammer before) and quiet and pink......  very difficult not to punch holes in everything though

Aye - I got mine (a green one) at a recent show, with a load of eyelets, for  £25 ($50) - I love the seeming 1:1 dollar to pound exchange rate, i.e. an American product will cost $25 and £25, utterly failing to take nto account the _real_ exchange rate.  Even when you add in that it's going to cost more over here for import duty, shipping, etc, it should still be less than the 1:1 rate makes it!! *disengages sarcasm mode*

The other good thing about it is that it is very strong for a minimal amount of hand strain - I've got very weak wrists, and I can punch holes & set eyelets easily with it.

GG - those pics aren't working for me - I'll check again later!

Well, they are $28 here, with no eyelets or anything. 
Anyone with a great source for eyelets, please let me know....I was shocked at their price at Michaels the other day.  I checked at SkyBluePink but they had none.  They DID have lots of cool charms and doodads and such, and I completely BLAME Rackycoo for the amount of $ I spent there.

JoAnns always has them on sale but they are small little packs at 2.99 reg price - they usually have them 50% off - I think Hobby lobby has them 50% off this week - spare parts is the brand name I think.

I will get better pics when I get home -
the work computer is dead but I got to stay just in case it comes up this afternoon although it's not looking good - think I'll push to leave early <g>

You know you actually saved money by buying those things there, though. (That's the kind of logic that drives my husband crazy.  )

I have to agree with Racky.  If my darling ever asks, which he never does, I tell him how much I saved first!

I want a crop-o-dile too. Too bad I can't order them anywhere because I don't have a credit card.
