Cutting photos and mats?

[MicMin]

What do you use to get straight lines when cutting your photos and mats? I have a Fiskars paper trimmer (gray & orange) but it doesn't cut straight. The edges are always a little off.
Thank you for any help.

I use one of those old paper cutters that has the arm that you raise up and down to cut the paper. It is large so it isn't protable, but it works great, I've had it years before I got into scrapping.

I use to use the old black fiskars and I too got crooked edges.

Just bought the new blue one and I love it!!! They changed the tracking sytem so it cuts straight now without any problem.

Used the 40% M coupon.

I know several of us on this board have the "perfect layers" system from QVC. Can't say enough about it. You always have the perfect mat and can make about 12 different sizes. Check it out on QVC. I promise you, it is worth the money.
