If she doesn't need the longer blade, I wouldn't go with the 8". They are heavier, and don't get into tight spots as well as a smaller scissor. Love my 8" for fabric, though.
Is scrapping somthing other than cutting fabric? :shock: My ginghers are only allowed to touch fabric. I use a less expensive scissor for most of my crafting but since that usually involves wires and soldering irons I think you can guess why. :-)
I think she's talking about scrapbooking, so cutting paper.
Thank you for clearing that up for me. I've never seen that term used for anything other than in a professional capacity. I had visions of cutting leftover pieces of fabric into smaller pieces. :oops: Isn't it amazing how a little terminology can trip you up?
