Welcome Jenny. What kinds of crafts do you enjoy? What have you done so far? Adella, 90 degrees? Where ARE you! It's in the 50's here in the Pacific Northwest... and that should be inspiring me to do creative things... but nope. My new kiln is sitting here unused. And lately I've been driving past Michael's and JoAnn's barely glancing in their direction. They used to be like giant magnets sucking me in against my will. Now they're just stores I pass on the way to someplace else. Anybody else going through the, "whatever" stage of crafting?

And also-your cutting looks very detailed-do you use an exacto knife? Thanks for any info! Willow(o:

My husband gave me my Xyron 850 for Christmas. I love it! At the time they were having a special... when purchasing the 850, you got the 500 sticker maker, free. (We gave the 500 to our daughter who is also into scrapbooking.) Otherwise I would have gone with the 1200, I think. I am a teacher and have used it for making books and materials for class. I don't know if it's the teacher in me and years of experience with using every inch of laminating, but I don't have much waste at all. Since it has a hand crank, you have great control over the speed in which materials go through the machine. You can place items close together to prevent the waste you were referring to. If you want tiny punches as stickers or laminated, put a whole sheet of paper through the machine and then punch your punches. My husband was also hesitant when I showed him the machine for the first time but now he sees how many uses I have for it and is glad he made the purchase.

Love my Xyrons. Have 2, the 510 and the 850. Don't have enough time to do all I want to though. Funny thing, I haven't used them to scrapbook yet. Made little laminated prayer and "thoughts" cards for people to stick in their wallets or purses, made magnetic business cards for myself, so many ideas, so little time. Best of all, NO HEAT! No plugs, no burns, safe for kids (and me) to use. Put the large 1200 model on my Christmas list. Xyron is the only type I've used so I can't say anything about any other brands.

I think the first thing I would do is a page of every color of card stock I had, so that when I needed a piece it would already be done and ready, then I would go to a good clip art site and print off a bunch of my favorites that match photos I am working on and do those, then I would do some lettering fonts, then some fancy frames, can you tell I have been dreaming of one of these machines?

Wow! I think that Penny has some great ideas. That sounds like a great toy...ahem, a fine piece of equipment that would be essential in preserving your family's heritage. (thanks for the site!)
