EK Success Cutterpede

Wendy — Fri, 29 May 2009 05:00:33 +0000

The cutterpede by EK Success cuts up to 13″ x 15″ when the arm folds out to full extension. The arm can also be folded in half for easy 6″ cuts and easy 2″ cuts can be made when the arm is folded in. The cutterpede gives clean, straight cuts. The blade can be replace and is long-lasting. Although the cutting mat needs to be replaced fairly often it is inexpensive because it can be rotated and used 4 different ways and the mats are purchased in 2-packs. I would not recommend using this cutter regularly for photos or heavyweight paper because it wears down the mats too fast. This was my favorite cutter for a long time because of the clean, straight cutting and because it does not take up much room on my desk. The arm does not match the cutter because it broke and when I requested a replacement, this is the one that was sent. I originally purchased a pink Cutterpede from my LSS and it was damaged. They would not replace it because it came as a package and they didn’t want to send everything back and would only replace the cutter but did not have pink except the ones in the package set. Bummer for me because that was one of the reasons I bought it (I loved the pink). So in the end it’s kind of funny that I ended up with a pink arm.

Como Park

Wendy — Fri, 15 May 2009 05:00:25 +0000

These layouts are from pictures taken in the flower garden at Como Park in St. Paul, MN. They also have a zoo and a great amusement park (Como Town) for kids. I highly recommend checking this out if you are visiting the area and would also suggest signing up for their newsletter prior to your visit to watch for specials. My kids (ages 7 & 9 at the time) had a blast!

Supplies used: CTMH Whoops-A-Daisy paper, CTMH Watermelon, White Daisy, and Hydrangea cardstock, Pressed Petals Chip Chatter letters (sanded), fasteners, and gemstone brads from the Target Dollar Spot. Layouts were inspired by sketches from the CTMH Cherish book.

3rd Grade Baby Shower

Wendy — Mon, 11 May 2009 05:00:18 +0000

Imagine the fun time we had when the 3rd graders had a baby shower for their teacher. I laughed as I watched the boys get shy (or not shy!) as their cute teacher gave them a hug as a thank you for gifts. And of course we had to play the dirty diaper game where they tried to guess the candy bar inside!

Supplies used: flowers unknown, all other supplies by CTMH: Let’s Get Together paper, Colonial White, Garden Green, and Cranberry cardstock, Cranberry ink, B1288 Solo 3 stamp set, and D1222 Tiny Typewriter Alphabet stamp set. Layout inspired by CTMH Imagine book.
