Default Which One?

I was looking for window dies and found MB, they have Grand Madison and Small Madison but cannot decide which would be a wise buy :confused:. Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I have the small and it's perfect for cards. If you plan to do larger scrapbook pages, the larger die may be better, but I think the size I have is perfect for cards. The size is 2.4 x 3.25 inches.

The small one would be great for A-2 size cards, but I do 5 x 7 mostly and find the larger one more appropriate.

I have the Grand Madison and it is great when you want to put a scene behind it.

And it makes a very cool French door if you don't mind a little fussiness.

But I don't tend to make lots of A2 cards - I like a bigger canvas.

Thanks for the kind words! I am going to order the smaller size too when I have a chance. I also am casting envious eyes on the shutters!

Default Which one

I recently saw a card where the small one was used as drawers on a chest, with a vase of flowers on top.Never would have thought of that one.

Can you post a link to it? I did a search on small madison in SCS and could not find it. It sounds very cool!
