Intro:
There's just something about cutting things out by hand! This project began when I wanted to create a cover for a mini album about my kids' vacation with their cousins. When I couldn't find a photo of them altogether, I decided to cut each person out from separate photos and combine them all onto one beach scene. It was fun to put the trimmer away for this project and enjoy the full scissor experience! I couldn't stop myself and from there I ended up cutting out little details on my interior pages from duplicate copies of my photos and popping them up for fun dimension. Fiskars' Softouch Micro-Tip Scissors allowed allowed me to cut out a TON of photos in detail with ease and sliced right through my chipboard.
