Now that I have my must have basics and made myself a small scrapbooking area in the family room I am using my 40% Michaels and AC Moore coupons for extras. I have bought a few Paper Shaper punches in shapes I think I will use often but I have been looking at the border punches. I would like an opinion on whether or not it would be a waste of money to purchase a few of these punches? If not which punches do you feel I would get the most use out of?

I find that I use my border punches quite a bit (then again, punches are my favorite thing to use on pages). I use them on photo mats to make frames. They also are nice to do borders on 5x7 pages (I used one w/a leafy design to make my Polynesian pages and one with a sort of flourish design for my Magic Kingdom pages) -- tho' I'm sure you could just as easily use them on larger pages. I also have one that is kind of a celebration one -- looks like long, skinny streamers with curls on the end -- that I use to make balloon strings.

It's hard to say exactly which punches would be the best for you to buy -- I would think that's really just personal choice. Buy what you like! :)
