25th Anniversary

So right at this very moment, while I am typing this post, I am also cutting the shadow of ’25th Anniversary’ for a scrapbook page I am working on. I’m using the font BlacklightUp with Sure Cuts A Lot. I tried cutting it out using the Cricut cartridges that I own, but I wasn’t overly impressed with any of my options. I just couldn’t get the letters ‘just right.’  I have the original Cricut, and the smallest you can cut the letters using the cartridges is 1 inch. My SCAL can cut 1/2 inch and smaller (although I question the quality when they get too much smaller than 1/2 inch) as well as odd sizes. I could cut at 2.84 if I wanted to! This gives me a lot more versitility with the Cricut.

So why was I trying the use the cartridges instead of the AWESOME Sure Cuts A Lot? Honestly, I was too lazy to walk up the stairs to get the laptop I forgot when I originally came down to my scraproom (a.k.a. the basement). The cartridges were right here next to me. Let’s just say that I learned my lesson. Don’t waste time trying to make the cartridge work when you have SCAL!
