Thank you for the information on where to find punches- all the web sites are great.
Now a new question:
what is the difference between a paper punch and a "paper shaper"?

Paper shaper is the name of the paper punch that is put out by EK Success (I think). There really isn't much difference except that the shaper is supposedly easier to use (you can use your thumb to press down on the tab). I can't say if it is or not, since I haven't used them myself. They don't come in alot of different shapes (maybe 2 dozen, if that) and they don't come in the different sizes. That is everything I know, maybe someone else has more information.

As I have gotten older the punches that use your thumbs have become inpossible for me to use. If you are in your 20's not a problem, if nearing 50's you might think of this when you buy.

as a 'youngster' I personally love the paper shapers. I find them very easy to use. BUT if you have some kind of punch aid, I don't think that you'd be able to use it with the paper shapers, as the button isn't on top of the punch. HTH!
