I really like the Coluzzle system. It's only downfall is it cannot cut photos (at least I can't...) the swivel knife just shreds the sides of them.
Maybe a new blade is in order for you... I know I have often forgotten to change blades - guess I figure they should last forever! It is amazing the difference what a fresh blade will do (and nearly a 'slap in the forehead' experience for me!)
I rarely use mine anymore. I don't like the cut and I find that if I'm cutting a photo it seems to slip underneath the template. I like the CM system a lot better. I hate the coluzzle alphas! They were miserable for me. I used that template once. I think it's a good idea but there are better systems out there in my opinion.
I use mine all the time for scrapbooking. Great for cutting out photos then cutting a matt one size larger. If it is tearing the edge of you photo you just need a new blade. Blades seam to cut paper longer than photos.
I went crazy a few years back and bought a ton of colluzle stuff. Now it is almost the last thing that I reach for. I've also seen it on clearance at Roberts which makes me believe that Provo Craft might not be staying with it much longer? I do use my CM system for oval or circles, but I reach for my punches the very most.

Really? I don't think the blade is that used- it still cuts paper and cardstock without any trouble at all. You've been able to cut photos fine?
You should really try out shapecutting products before making a purchasing decision. I had the chance to try out the Creative Memories cutting system after hearing a lot of good things about it, and I hated it. It just did not work for me. Lots of folks on SCS despise their Coluzzle, but I love mine ot pieces and use it as often as I use my punches.
I used to have Fiskars circle & oval cutter & hated it. I then invested in Coluzzle and love it! Oval companion is a perfect oval shape for the scallop oval punches!
Coluzulle Cuttin Set..??
