Cutting Wood Scrapbook Paper with a Digital Cutting Machine
When I got the Cricut Maker, I was excited by the possibility of being able to cut balsa and basswood with it. But Cricut took extra time to make sure the Maker's special Knife Blade functioned exactly how they wanted it to work and have only just released it this past week.

Then life happened and she got married and moved out of that cottage into a new house onto which she also put her color filled stamp. And then life happened again and she got divorced and moved into a townhouse. And then into an apartment and ... Read More about A New Cottage to Fill with Color
