My name is Lorena. I've been lurking for a while now and picking up some great tips and ideas! Thanks! I have a cricut expression and I just got SCAL2 a couple of weeks ago. I"M IN LOOOOOOOOOVE!!! I'm also new to scrapbooking. I'm a crafty gal anyways by nature, but the cricut has opened so many new avenues for me! I love to sew, crochet, paint, decorate, ect....We live in upstate NY. I'm a stay at home mom who also does daycare in my home. I've been married for 16 years, and we have 4 boys ages 17, 15, 9, and 2! My 15 year old and 9 year old are basketball and baseball players, and I can not wait to put those pictures on some layouts!
Not sure if this source has been mentioned before but I found a site that sells acid free chipboard in natural and white. It's .028 chipboard, white on both sides, and acid free 8x11 size. Comes in 25 sheets for $12.10 plus shipping. I just tried it in my cricut and it cuts great with a deep cut blade on multi cutx2 high pressure and slow speed. After I got it in the mail I noticed the company is in Rochester ny! That's like a 1/2 hour drive from me!

Had to share! HTH!
I discovered SCAL well over a year ago and it's been one of the best puchases I've made when it comes to crafting stuff (next to my Cricut "E").
