I am NOT a scrapbooker, but when I saw a
Cricut machine for about 60% off, I bought it for Bruce to give me for Christmas (when you know what you want, grab it, especially at 6:30 AM on "Black Friday!"). So far I have cut out some vinyl letters for a friend's picture frame, made some captions for the missionary board at Seminary and put together the fun birth announcements from the newspaper (pictured below).
I had intended to just mount these on cardstock and laminate them, but the new cutting machine could help make them cute. In theory these were easy projects:
- Cut out the name and shapes on the Cricut.
- Glue them on cardstock.
- Glue the newspaper clipping.
- Trim up the whole thing.
- Laminate and cut it out again.
It would have been fast if the letters weren't so small! Now that I see a magnified version, some of the letters are crooked! Darn! These were hard to attach. The largest letters are 1 inch tall while the shortest are less than 1/3 of an inch.
Can't wait to give these to the families!

Fun! I've decided I need me a laminator. Just think of all the things I could make shiny, smooth, and waterproof! Do you have one of your own?
I do have my own laminator. It was my cyber Monday purchase two years ago on Joann.com. I think it was $25.00. Lots of fun!
