I also scrapbook and have a Cricuit that is wonderful for letters, numbers, etc. You add Wonder Under to the back put it on the mat and run it through. Right now I am sure you can find the smaller ones, like mine, really cheap on ebay and the like (6" x 12") for people wanting to buy the newer, larger versions. The cartridges are a little expensive but I am finding they also can be found fairly cheaper with good sales. You can make whatever sizes you want up to 5" at 1/2" incriments, upper and lower case, shadows to your letters, etc.
