I started papercrafting when I was a child about 10 yrs old while watching my dad making things. He did various crafts but the colours of the paper and card he used really caught my eye. At first i just copied what he did but soon started using my own ideas. At senior school i even had a job as the schools bulletin/display boards designer.

I've been crafting since I was a girl but mostly sewing, drawing and painting. I started my love of paper when my sister got me into scrapbooking about 15 yrs ago which has now progressed to all kind of paper crafting: from cardmaking to altered art. I'm now into making journals and mini albums.

Wow looks fantastic! There are so many crafty things I would be able to use it for.
I started crafting at 4 when my nan used to sit me on her knee at her Singer sewing machine. She worked the treadle while I sewed clothes for my toys, and also helped me to make paper puppets and little books to play school. Fond memories of a love of crafts, which I hope I am passing onto my grandchildren as they are already quite creative :)

Paper is such a versatile medium - it come is so many varieties. And with paper, you get crafty results quickly - no edges to neaten as for most fabric. With paper, you can make something every day!

I`ve been crafting in one way or another since I learnt tto knit as a child. Paper crafting started about 20 or so years ago when someone suggested that my hand made ribbon roses would look great on greetings cards. My biggest problem is finding the time to do all the different crafts I`m interested in.

My daughter asked if I would try making her wedding invitations to save them some money. I'd never made a card before in my life but a lot of googling, a couple of stamps and a few ink pads and I was away! That was 1999 and I still love every minute I spend crafting. Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous tool. Pat

I started papercrafting a few years ago at first it was just an addition to my job and a bit of a hobby - now its an addiction and has taken over most of the my house!!!!!

Being mainly housebound due to illness, I started papercrafting to while away the lonely hours. I love making original cards for my friends and family. This new tool looks ideal for someone like myself with dexterity issues so would love to own one. Thank you.

I started making christmas cards 15 years ago when i decided that just writing your name in a cheap ready bought card was just not good enough for me to send to my friends. now they expect a homemade one every year, all 150 of them !!

I started papercrafting because I love to give special people beautiful cards, but couldn't always afford them. I get all my card from Papermill Direct, so I know the quality of the base card is always great. I've also had great feedback from the recipients. I also
make cards for charity - Especially the charity funded South West Multiple Sclerosis Centre, at Exeter, Devon. This is where my cousin, Robert, receives treatment for his Multiple Sclerosis. It's very special to know that my papercrafting is helping people like Robert to
get the treatment he needs from a specialist place.

I started crafting as I'd seen card bits on the tv and thought it looked easy enough and just had a go, and kept going!

I started crafting while I was ill with ME and it helped me to take my mind off my illness and reminded me that there were still things I could do.

I started making cards in 2004 to sell at my son's primary school Christmas Fair to raise money for the PTA. Things have snowballed and I now make all sorts of things from paper and started my own business.

As I am not a facebook member, I really appreciate the opportunity to have a chance to win this fabulous tool.
I was introduced to crafting by my sister in law who gave me items to begin. I put them away in a draw thinking I would never use them. However one day I came across them again and thought I would give it a go. Well I have never looked back and my stash has grown and grown, sometimes I look at it and wonder where it all came from. I am now completely addicted to card making. I have had many a nick or cut from my craft knife and this Gyro-Cut would be a boon, especially to use in decoupage as this is my favourite way of crafting.
Thank you once again for the opportunity to own the item.
best wishes.
Janet
