Hi Scrappers,
Merry Christmas to everyone.
I have enjoyed being part of RCS.
My latest scrapbook project has been completed.
The subject is "The Alamo" it can be viewed at
A mini punch was used for the accent stars.
I only have the George cart that came with
Cricut but plan to purchase other cartridges.
I enlarged a Texas map at Kinko's to a size large
enough to accomadate the information about The Alamo.
Then I cut around the the silhoutte leaving a 1/4" margin.
using 12x12 acid free paper
The paper that remained after I cut out the silhoutte I taped
to the screen of my computer monitor using Scotch Removable Tape
I then typed in the data to fit into the unmasked part of the
screen. The monitor screen is glass not LCD.
I then had a document the shape and size of the Texas silhouette.
I printed the document on regular paper 8.5 x 11 which is the
lagest with my printer could print. The document took two pages.
I got around this snag by taping Texas silhouette to the first
page so then folding under the part of the silhouette that
would not fit into the printer. Kept my finger crossed that
it would not jam. :-)
Everything worked fine!
Now the second half !
I taped the part of the silhouette that was folded under
to the second page. Positioning it so that it would line
up. This worked first try. !! :-)
Some times you luck out.
