My paper cutters arrived the other night, and I've been happily cutting away ever since. I got the ones mentioned in my post the other day, and the question I'm asking myself is - why didn't I do this sooner? It's made things so much quicker, in two hours tonight, I cut what would have probably taken me nearly a day to do. I shouldn't say that I'm totally mechanized though....
I cut up all these little birds by hand a while back. I was making cards with them, but they were so labour intensive that I would have to charge heaps for each card. So, I am thinking that I can mount them on small canvases in mini-collages. Until then, I just dumped them in a pile on this canvas.Gotta go, America's Next Top Model is on. I really enjoy watching it - I'm such a loser!

you seriously cut those by hand? You're my hero of patience! Yay for the cutters coming in - I hope they make your book-making so much more fun!
Haha, I love a stack of birds! That paper cutter sounds fantastic. Paper cutters are the best (talking about nerds :-))!
Time saving paper cutting device?!? I'm interested. From the photo I cannot tell which one you got, would you mind e-mailing me with the information? shona(at)laladexpress(dot)com. It took me 2 days to cut paper for about 12 books + I just can't keep going on like this with all the work looming ahead. Thank you, Shona
