Yesterday, we looked at all of the parts of the timeline created with the Cricut Expression and Cricut Cartridges. Today we are going to look at the timeline using Sure Cuts A Lot 2. Sure Cuts A Lot 2 can use many different files and trace them.
I found a black and white telegraph, traced it in SCAL, deleted all of the "extra" pieces and came up with a clean copy of this telegraph. The base is black and then I added the gray pieces. The writing was printed on vellum and added to the bottom of the telegraph.
I bought this cut from SVG Cuts. You can find their website
here. It was part of the Crafty Mice SVG Cuts which can be found
here.
I also purchased some cuts from Creative Delights. They can be found
here. The TV, IPod, and old computer monitor are from
Family Room Fun. I like the option of purchasing a couple of items from other companies. I would prefer to use a Cricut cart because they are easier and straight forward but I like the option of going other places. The movie camera is from the
Lights Camera Action set. Each of these sets cost $5.00 but I had a half off coupon.
While I bought a few of the cuts I needed, I also created a number of them. Some, like I showed yesterday were created with shapes from George and Basic Shapes. Some, were made by tracing logos and other items easy to find.

Finally, I was looking for the White House. I thought certainly either Cricut, Creative Delights or SVG cuts would have one, but no. So, I started looking online. Believe it or not, I found the White House seal fairly easily. I then cleaned it up a little bit and this is what I came up with. I took the details off of the White House, columns, doors, etc. so I would have a place to print "1993: US White House come on-line; President Bill Clinton: President@WhiteHouse.gov."
I hope you have enjoyed my technology timeline.
