Yourstory
I had seen this machine in stories for awhile and I thought, Why would anyone want that. I say it on sale for a great price online and thought why not. I love this machine. It does great for laminating. I love being able to make my own books. I have even made my own little projects with it for friends. I made a great score pad for myself and friends for when we play cards, and have requests for more. I am in the planning stages of making a family recipe book for a friend to give to her two married daughters with the recipes that they grew up with. This machine can do anything. The only drawback is that my bundle came with the cutter that has the cartridge blades, it is an awesome cutter. It is impossible to get replacement blades. That is my only complaint.

HORRIBLE WASTE OF $$$$
I bought this machine with the idea of preserving my daughter's precious portraits. However, the laminator left bubbles in the pages. I did manage to salvage the rather expensive professional portraits and might use the machine again. Next time, though it will not be a project that is so important to me. I would not recommend this machine to anyone.

GREAT LAMINATOR
I love my YourStory! I used this model to laminate my husband's defense for my sons football team! I had absolutely no issues with bubbling! Saved me a ton of money over OFFICEMAX!

Shame on you Provo Craft!!!
Pro:
Well made(metal)trimmer(sturdy).
Light weight.
Excellent (straight)cuts.
Its pretty.
Cons:
Can't get replacement blades! so when the blades become dull, you get to add it to a landfill. Shame on you Provo Craft!!!
It will only cut items up to 7" wide. So before you put that 12" paper in there to cut, measure & mark it 1st, or have 2 cutters on your work area(who has room for that???)
How hard would it have been to add an extension ruler to it? & make replacement blades?
Come on Provo Craft, you can fix this problem, make an adapter(ruler) & more blades available. You can make more $$$ & save our landfills, become greener!!!

LOVE IT BUT
i LOVE THE TRIMMER IT CUTS GREAT AND HOLDS THE PAPER IN PLACE.
BUT WHERE IS THE FOLD BLADE. i REALLY MISS BEING ABLE TO CREASE THE PAPER FOR A BETTER FOLD. CAN THIS BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY

WHERE'S THE FOLD
I love this cutter, it works great, holds paper down tight so it doesn't shift before you get to the end of the paper. BUT there is no fold attachment. I would use only this trimmer if I could get a fold attachment.

Stories of a Liftime
I traded with a friend for this. I already had the little one and love it. I made a storybook about 70 years of my mother-in-law's life. My husband even helped with this project. Not only can she leave it out but she really loves it and for us that was worth all the work.Thank you for an awesome product.
