How durable is vinyl cut with your Cricut?

A friend asked me recently if she thought she could use vinyl on her speed boat. "Would it last in the water?" She wanted to cut out the boat's registration number because they must be displayed in Canada.

This is a photo of an oval cut in Scotchcal 220 vinyl three years ago. This oval, cut in non-permanent vinyl, is on my POOL! The pool used to have plastic covers but eventually they all broke. The vinyl has lasted longer. Keep in mind, I also live in "Winter-peg", Canada. The vinyl has withstood the elements of nature as well as the "element" of my children splashing in the pool.

Puppy Pictures

I haven't been crafting for awhile but I have a wonderful excuse! Our family has adopted a puppy! She is 11 weeks old and her breed is mixed. We named her Chloe and our family is completely smitten. Her mother was brought in to a local rescue in labour. Her puppies, including Chloe, were born later that day. My craftroom is gathering dust this week as I am busy with her training.

Here are some shameless puppy pics.

The other thing I have realised this week is that I need puppy themed scrapbooking supplies and lots of them as we have been snapping photos like crazy!

My son thinks we have upped our game when it comes to family photos with this adorable new addition.
