My first test cut (baseball font)

I just got SCAL yesterday, and one of the first things I wanted to do was see if I could cut this cool Baseball font I have. The only problem was that it cut the outline of P first, and then cut out the "seams." I was using a mat that didn't have much sticky, and the cut out letter moved before the seams could be cut out. So I had to switch to a very sticky mat, but at least it worked! I am no where near working on my baseball layouts (I have LOADS to do, but I'm all about Disney right now), but at least I know when it's time, I'll be able to use this font.

Here is my test cut. I just used a piece of scrap paper I had, so it's cut in yellow. But when I actually use it, I'm going to cut it out in white, and put it over red paper, so it actually looks like a baseball. So, I recolored it in photoshop, and I think it looks pretty cool. Just thought I'd share. :)

The font is called Joe Dimaggio. I've had it for years, so I don't remember where I got it, but it was free. I'm sure if you google it you can find it.
