I think they were just on sale last week or something, but I told myself not to buy paper just yet since I still had. I'll wait for the next sale! Ooo, I'll sign up for the teacher discount the next time I'm there. I typically only hit Michaels and then AC Moore. I just have a Michaels fairly close to my house. So excited to spend yet save money!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730614153490476015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780663221629876568.post-71555975573033634812011-01-31T23:45:39.129-05:002011-01-31T23:45:39.129-05:00Rachel - Don't forget to sign up for your teac...Rachel - Don't forget to sign up for your teacher discount at Joann's. It is an extra 15-20% off your purchase. Just bring in your work ID. When paper, punches, etc are on sale for 40% off, items are about half off with the teacher discount. Also, sign up for the emails from Joann's and Michaels. They will take each other's coupons. I second the 8.5" x 11" packs of 50 sheets of paper from Joann's and Michaels. They are so cheap and there are many colors to choose from.

I told my fiancé that paper would be the only thing I'll buy from now on UNLESS there's a $10 cart on sale that I'd be willing to buy for $25 (to test myself to see if I actually want the cart or if I'm being enticed by price).

It cuts great in the Cricut, and when on sale you can get 2 packs for $5!

My life is consumed with lesson plans and grading. It'll be fun to do something for myself.<br /><br />@Glue Meets Paper: I finally decided to purchase a Cutterpede. I was thinking of the Making Memories one, but I figured I wasn't going to be cutting cardstock for the actual cards, so I shouldn't invest in something so expensive (it would've been $25 with the 50% coupon I had). The Cutterpeded only cost me $12.50. Ooo, I'm glad that the chisel tip is a good one to have!

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog...Rachel, <br /><br />Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog :) I use a cheapie paper trimmer from JoAnne's, I think it's under $20 plus if you use a 40% coupon it's even cheaper. I just keep lots of spare cutting blades handy because they dull out sorta quick (at least the way I use them), but overall I think it's a great trimmer for the price. I would suggest getting a trimmer that has at least a measured inch on either side of the cutting line, I've found that helpful :)<br /><br />Also, I've found the chisel tip to be better than the ballpoint tip for the Zig pens anyways, you can always use the pointed edge of the chisel to get the smaller pieces so the versatility and glue coating is much better.<br /><br />Lastly, if you are in search for deals on Cricut products check out Oh My Crafts if you haven't heard from them. They always have a 10% off coupon for their online followers so their carts are only $20-$40 each but they do take FOREVER to get in the mail.<br /><br />Hope that's some useful info! Have a great time with your Cricut, you'll love it :DGlue Meets Paperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395813823137441539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780663221629876568.post-3134491452280735762011-01-02T16:01:40.388-05:002011-01-02T16:01:40.388-05:00Thanks for you comment on my post on the Cricut me...Thanks for you comment on my post on the Cricut messageboard! :)<br /><br />From reading through your blog- im guessing this is going to be your 1st Cricut machine?!
