I bought a paper trimmer. Guess I'm a "real" scrapper now? No one get excited. I'm not converting to paper scrapping. I bought it to trim my two very late CD calendars, and all I can think is "WHY didn't I buy that sooner?!" It was so way much easier than trying to trim by hand with scissors. But now I have it for next year's calendars. Oh yes, there will be more. They were such a huge hit, and I couldn't be more pleased.
I've had a couple of people say they have difficulty imagining how the CD calendars work. Here are the instructions I included with each one:
CD Case Calendar InstructionsCarefully remove the lid from the CD case, making sure you do not snap off the holding tabs.
Turn the bottom of the CD case upside down, and reattach the CD case lid with the inside facing away from you.
Insert the appropriate monthly calendar page and enjoy!
And here is a picture of one all set up (I removed the black "holder" part of the case before mailing the calendars):

ReplyDeleteI've had the paper trimmer (8.5x11) for a while now. Doesn't help me because I print 12x18. Luckily my office has a trimmer for that size. It's old fashioned, though. Looks like a meat slicer or something. LOL! One can cut a finger on that!
