December Daily™ 2012 | Day Four
Tags:
Before leaving for my trip I made a fold-out insert for my album using three pieces of 4x6 cardstock + washi tape (tape along both sides of the seams where the papers meet).
Along one edge I created a pocket with an page protector (a larger one) to hold some of the word veneer alphabet from the Studio Calico kit (used my sewing machine to create the pocket). I saw someone else do something similar recently via Twitter (creating a home for the wood letters within a page protector but I can't remember who it was - if it was you please let me know). I didn't end up making it tight enough so they have moved around a bit, but I'm going with it (I used the pointed end of a paint brush to slide the letters in the pocket).
On the top I adhered a test cut I did with my Silhouette using the font Bebas and the sentiments "merry and bright" and "peace and love."
Here's what it ended up looking like after I added the photos (I used a Walgreens app on my phone to upload my photos and picked them up at one close to my hotel):
The far right side slips into the page protector and the other two pieces are folded on the outside.
And the other side:

Ali~ if you have time, walk through the fashion district and pop in and out of the trims, buttons, and fabrics stores. Great inspiration and a total color/texture/energy buzz. ;0

I too have NYC on my list. I told my husband we will be going without kids before my 50th birthday. Just a few years away.
Love your observations. When asked what I want to do in NYC. I want to walk, window shop, and people watch. Of course, the usual tourist things. But mostly observe.

Ali, there is no way my Cameo could cut letters that tiny. Any tips or tricks to share?
Replies
Thanks! Good to know that your cut isn't clean either. I'm still new to the Cameo and not sure what it can and can't do.
No tips or tricks - it basically "kinda" worked but it's definitely a messy cut. At first I was going to just trash it but ended up liking the messy look.
