Create a Sticker

Wow, I just discovered something really cool

It's a sticker maker. It's made by a company called Xyron

You put any shape or size of Confetti in it, squeeze down and you get a sticker of

the confetti. You could use it on envelopes, signs, posters...anything you craft with.

It would be perfect for scrapbooking. I love the fact that you can create whatever you want
