Laminate for Life

I have always been a lover of all things laminated. I don’t know what it is about that smooth, plasticky feel, but I loves it. In the past I have taken things to our local print/copy shop to get laminating done, but now I can do it at home! 

I recently got to try out this Fellowes Saturn2 95 Laminator and I am hooked. Oh, the possibilities!  School papers and projects, office organization, file folder games, quiet time activities…egads!

As a mom with young kids, I particularly appreciate a few of the features of this machine.

  1. HeatGuard Technology consisting of double-walled insulation that keeps heat inside – comfortable to touch and safe for children.
  2. Power button turns the machine on to the cold lamination setting.
The machine is compact but large enough to fit letter size documents AND there are special settings for different laminating materials to ensure the best possible quality, strength, and protection. I can leave it out on the table or tuck it away in a drawer so storage is no problem.
After determining the Saturn2 95’s lovable qualities, I was ready to get to work!

Drawer Liners

My first project was making some drawer liners. I cut a piece of scrapbook paper down to fit the drawer, laminated it, and slipped it inside this drawer. When it gets a little dusty or gunky, I can pull out the laminated sheet of paper, wipe with a damp rag, and put it back. And it’s so cute!
