The Waiting Will Be Worth It!

I am waiting patiently for my Silhouette Cameo to arrive!  In case you're not familiar with what this is, it is, to my understanding a die cutting machine that will connect to my computer.  I think it is supposed to be an alternative to the Cricut.  The dies are all computer based and images can be purchased and are very reasonably priced.  I hope I can learn to use it quickly.  I've been watching videos on Youtube about it and it just looks like a fantastic machine.

If any of you have one, I would love to hear what you think of it and any tips on using it.  I have never owned a Cricut so I have no idea of how to use these type of things or what to expect from them.  But I feel like it's going to be lots of fun! 

I'm also researching how to use digital stamps.  It seems that they are very popular, and it looks like there are so many different ones to choose from.  I would love any advice on how to use these as well since I've never done it before. 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog, and happy crafting!

TSG142 Negative Die Cut Challenge

The folks over at 'There She Goes Clear Stamps' are sponsoring a card challenge for a Negative Die Cut card.  I just adore cards with all kinds of dimension, so I could not resist coming up with this little card.  I love butterflies and sparkle and was able to use both of those elements in this card.

CR84FN Color Challenge

Go on over to  CR84FN Color Challenge and check them out.  I think I am going to love joining in to the color challenges on this nifty blog.  This week the colors are pink, red and light blue.   I can hardly wait for the next one!  The above image is the inspiration.  Below is my take on the colors.  Flowers and butterflies are two of my favorite embellishments.
