Paper News

Picture from here









Since posting about my Cricut earlier this weekend, I've received questions regarding a) what it is/does and b) where you can get one. They can be bought at Michael's, JoAnn Fabrics, or online. My mom acquired mine through an infomercial. Miss Duckling has raved about the Cricut family before and she just posted again about a SALE!! It's rare that Cricut products go on sale, so this would be a great opportunity to snatch one up. Along with the machines themselves, the cartridges and accessories are also 40%. Holy moly! You can see Miss Duckling's post here.

In other paper news, I picked up a corner rounder at Target yesterday. I'd been wanting to get one for awhile after seeing them posted about repeatedly on DIY wedding sites. Rounded corners ad such a chic look to paper products. The nice corner punchers are around $15 at Michael's, but were on sale at Target for $6.99!!!!!


I'm thinking that I'll design invitations myself and convert to a vector image, then I'll have them printed at a local print shop. Note* local shops can be easier to use than Kinkos because they'll be more experienced with printing versus copying. Most print shops can also fold and cut the paper. I can clip the corners myself and tie a belly band myself. Viola! Haute invitations on a shoestring budget! More on those to come...
