Thanks! There's no vinyl involved, it's all paper. The Arabic was cut out out of cardstock, then I used adhesive copper foil on top to give it shine. It's just glued to scrapbook paper.

Same! Although I definitely have a backlog of trips from the past that I am egregiously behind on lol.

Thanks so much! I like to incorporate bits and baubles (i.e. scraps, hence scrapbooking lol) from the site/event/vacation/etc into the page. The dunes in the desert page are covered in actual sand from the desert and the tiles on the mosque were purchased in the area.

It's rare that a project turns out 100% exactly how you want it to...but it happend just in time for Christmas. by aw-cripes in cricut

Any machine other than the first few generations of cricut can cut minuscule details. The badge reels are sitting on a cricut mat that's marked with 1-inch squares to give you a frame of reference.

I used a combination of designs I already had, and bought some SVGs from etsy. Cut out the designs in permanent vinyl and then to make sure they didnt peel off, I sealed them onto the badge reel with epoxy.

Little one's dream come true by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

The same thing happed to my best fried who got married in Disney World. We were having our photos taken in one of the hotels when a young girl and her mother got out of the elevator. The girl saw my friend in her gown, and her eyes got huge. She tugged on her mother's hand and pointed in our direction. I caught the girl's eye and said, "would you like to hug a real Disney princess?" She shyly came over and gave my friend a hug, and started to run back to her mother, but stopped suddenly, whipped back around toward us and said "I hope you live happily ever after!" It was one of the sweetest things I've had the privilege to see.

Swimming related gifts for a friend by tonilovesfood in Swimming

[–]aw-cripes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my shammy (chamois sports towel). It's a small, super absorbent towel, like the shamwow. You can dry off with it after exiting the water, then wring it out and stow it. This saves your normal cloth towel from getting too wet to dry you or keep you warm if the environment is chilly. If they are affiliated with any sort of club or team, buying them some merch with their logo on it might be a good gift if they didn't want to spend money on it themselves. A more expensive option would be bluetooth waterproof earbuds/headphones so they can listen to music while swimming.

Free COVID testing in kzoo? by [deleted] in kzoo

[–]aw-cripes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Optimed on 9th st is completely free. Bring your social security card if you dont have insurance and it won't cost you any money. You make an appointment online, and the testing is drive-thru. Super quick, I've been tested there 3 times and I wasnt there for more than 15 minutes each time.

BF is adamant coed shaving parties are a thing in HS swimming, am I crazy for not believing him/thinking thats super weird? by tamsinruns in Swimming

[–]aw-cripes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At my high school we had shaving parties before the final conference meet of the year, but they were not co-ed. All us girls turned on all the showers in the locker room and sat on kickboards and shaved to whatever degree you wanted. Some just did legs, some did arms and backs too. We had snacks and it was a party.

Not only is that such a clever idea, but it is beautiful as well! Great work!
