Let's See What the Papermonster Can Do..

Using the laminator was not very hard.  The directions were very simple and I thought...."Here goes nothing!'  I waited for the light to turn blue and used the laminating pouch carrier on my first try....so far so good!  I did it!!  I was impressed at how easy it was to use.

I wanted to test different size of papers and also see how well it laminated photo paper onto card stock paper.  I like to print the math and literacy centers onto photo paper.  I find that the quality of color stands out better...it gives it a glossy look compared to printing it onto card stock paper.  

You should have seen the smile I had when the first one laminated, I was like 'WOW!' On my second and third try I chose to laminate the papers without the laminator pouch carrier.  

 I was just overwhelmed with joy with how well it worked, that I went straight to my computer to print off some more things to laminate.  Yet I ended up running out of photo paper and ink very quickly.  I didn't want to stop and wait another day to finish...and went to the store to buy some more.

Normally I buy my photo paper from Samsclub

but Office Depot was having a 'SALE' on photo paper!!
So I ended up buying these while I was there.:)

They had a BOGO sale on photo paper and couldn't resist...as you can see I ended up with 4 boxes (bought 2 and got 2 free), heehee.

Well I'm off to print and laminate!!
