Progress has been made on the scrappy chica cutting machine front.    I’ve done more than just cut out letters.  I finished a Christmas-style title that has little trees as part of the background.  I’m also working on a tracing of a map of India, which I’m planning on using as a title page for that book, with dots for each city.  (Or , I am seriously considering Belinda’s suggestion of using bling-bling for this purpose!)

Another thing I’m finding this handy for is to create my own version of licensed scrapbook embellishments.  Of course, I’m sure this is violating some copyright law, so I won’t share those files, but I think it will be pretty neat to have the Warner Brother’s logo on the page about the studio tour that we did there, for example.  I figure as long as I’m not selling, sharing, or otherwise profiting off of the cut-outs or the files I’m okay.  Heck, you can acquire tons of vector files of logos for free on the web.

I now know that I took those courses in college that involved Adobe Ilustrator for a reason. bwah-haha.  More soon.
