Cutting Photos with your Cricut
Do you have photos that offer something to your layouts, but not necessarially a center stage photo? Like perhaps the water from a swimming pool, or photo of the sand on a beach, a group of flowers. Use these photos for cool titles on your scrapbook pages.

Use a fairly bold or wide font for best
results (Base Camp is my favorite). Settings should be: blade pressure
to 5, Speed to 2, Pressure dial to 6. Simple one word titles are the
best for this project. Line your photo up with your cutting mat, type
the word, and press cut. Instead of your design being cut onto paper, it
will now be cut from your photographs. Although the software is not
necessary, it does make it easier when trying to line up your word with
the subject in the photo.
Here are some samples of what I mean. Remember that if it is a digital photo it isn't your only copy, so PLAY.
I love this tip! I'll definitely be using this one. <3Kimberly
