My little ones love to spend long periods of time creating masterpieces for Mama and Dada.
The immediate place of honor is always the refrigerator. But when a new set of drawings have to go up, the set on the refrigerator have to be taken down. These then join the ranks with other “specials” in a huge storage box set apart for all the drawings, paintings, love letters et al.
There are some letters and works of art that have a very special place in my heart. So when our Fellowes Saturn 2 95 Laminator arrived I knew we’d be putting this to good use!
.

Features include…
- HeatGuard Technology: Double-walled insulation keeps heat inside so laminator is comfortable to touch, making it safe for homes with children
- Advanced Temperature Control: Hot and cold laminating capabilities ensure consistent, smooth results every time
- Jam Release Lever: Permits easy removal or re-centering of stalled pouches.

A-laminating we will go…
.
I’ve always thought laminating was a long-drawn, hard process. After working with this laminator, I realize how misconceived that thought was.
Laminating is easy-peasy.
.
.
All you need to do is-
- Identify the size of the pre-set laminating sheet you need to use
- Punch in if you’re using a 3 mil or 5 mil pouch
- Assemble the sheet being laminated inside the laminate pouch
- Feed it through the machine and
- Voila! Wait for the laminated product to slide through the other side.
What an afternoon of laminating looks like…
We went to town with the laminator!
We did Bunny girl and Bunny Boo’s artwork, Summer Reading Certificates from the Library…
Photo strips from the Photo Booth at a friend’s wedding…
.
Book-marks that my Mom sent Bunny girl…
.
.
Sentimental pieces like this Parent’s Prayer we were given on the 1st of Pre-K 4. This has and continues to bless my heart each time I read it…
.
.
And later tomorrow we will be laminating the book-marks Bunny girl will be making for her 1st grade buddies.
.
.
The only laminating disaster we had…
.
I sadly made the mistake of trying to laminate the strip of Ultrasound pictures I had of Bunny Boo.
.
.
I’m still kicking myself for doing this because all I have left now is a sheet of black!
.
.
(Sob!)
Other than this one disaster, all our “specials” have been laminated beautifully.
And now each “special” has a stamped life extension!
.
.
Now doesn’t this make you want to consider investing in your own Fellowes Saturn 2 95 Laminator?
