I was thinking of selling mine, as it doesn’t get used much.

i tend to make big cards, and find the size of the folders and dies to small.

however, i lent my bug to a friend at christmas and she loves it to bits and is doing all her wedding stuff with it.

Most people i talk to love there bugs, so it might just be me.

they are about £70 to buy

If you look around you can get them for around £56.

I love mine, (which I only got last week), I adore the embossing effect that the embossing folders create.  So easy to use too.

I do agree with Tiggertastic though, in that it’s a shame it isn’t a bit bigger. I wish it could take A4 card.

But I love it and for me, it was money well spent.

I have just got one i already have a cricut but love the cuttlebug for its embossing folders, it is great, gives a really good finish and background to cards etc.
If you can get yours at a show i got mine with 4 embossing folders from the show at the NEC for £60. Otherwise do a search on the internet and find the best deal.
This is a link to the website of the people i got mine from, they are really helpful if you have any questions just ring them.
