Scrapbooking can go from the real simple and basic to elegant and detailed. Either way, the focus of a scrapbook is for the pictures to tell their own story and glam up the pages. In order to add that needed flare and style many people get pictures or cut outs that relate to the event. This can get expensive if you are buying the foam cut out at you local stores all the time. Cricut cutters can do this!
Solution… buy yourself Cricut cutters. A Cricut cutter will cut all those shapes, cut outs, flare for you.

All you need is a Cricut cutter, construction paper, sheets of foam, glue, and some creativity. With these tools and materials, your scrapbooking will if off and running in no time flat.
All Cricut cutters do the same thing. You buy cartridges that have the shapes you want to assist you in telling your story. Place the material (construction paper, foam, etc.) in the Cricut cutter, pull the lever and the Cricut Cutter cuts out your shapes! The process is very similar to using a three hole puncher.

So how much will this cost me? Great question! If you are serious about scrapbooking this product will pay for itself with the savings you are going to have in making your own flare for the pages of your book. Manual Cricut cutters are going to cost around $60, the electronic Cricut cutters will run from $250 to $400, but you can find the cheaper time to time. What would be the need to buy an electric Cricut cutter? Well it all depends on how invested in scrapbooking you are. If you have a scrapbook for everything, it would be nice to have a Cricut cutter that mass produces your flare so you have a ready supply. On the other hand, if you do not mind cutting out your flare for your pages as you go, then go with the manual Cricut cutter.
