LOVE my Cameo!

I've wanted the Silhouette for years now and when they came out with the new Cameo that can cut 12"x10' I was so jumping on that band wagon.  I'm so glad I did too... I've done so much with it already.  I'll have to take pics of some of the stuff but right now its cutting away at some cute images I'm putting in a swap box for someone.  I've made a bunch of bookmarks for my mom's class this weekend & I just could not be happier with it.  Its worth every penny! 

Here's the images its cutting right now for a swap package I'm putting together for a gal.

 For this one I cut out a mask of hearts (love all the backgrounds from the online store), I laid it over the black cardstock and misted my Studio Calico white mist over it.  I also cut out the sailboat with my Cameo.

Then I decided the mask was too cute to waste so I used it also.  There's also 2 other items on this page that I cut using the machine... the polaroid frame, and the people cutouts @ the bottom.



Also I gotta show you the cool bag that's made just for storing my Cameo Silhouette, its huge!  The machine is long and slender so it fits in the bottom and all the accessories go in dividers on top.

We both love it!



Current SB table...

Since we're back in our house and everything is either sold or in the trailer I bought a $20. table at a thrift store so I can scrapbook on.  Its in the dining room but its never cleared enough to eat off of... which is fine cuz Ry is working away and when he's home we just eat upstairs or hanging out in the kitchen.  Trying to get some fun stuff done, cuz who knows when I'll be leaving and wont have time to do anything crafty.  I'm might be getting a job out of town with Ry... Really hope I get it soon, miss his lots!

Kit Killer Challenge!!!

So I subscribe to Studio Calico which you're all aware cuz I talk about it ALL the time!

Well, I decided this last week to join a challenge, Kit Killer Challenge!  Take a kit and kill it!
Use it up, every scrap on a layout or card or whatever.  And to help there was a very helpful lady posting new challenges daily to inspire us.  Here's what I go so far:

Challenge 1 was a sketch:

 My take:
My 1st ever b*day pie

Challenge 2 by Sketchy Thursdays:

 My take:
COPPER RIVER KINGS

...and some others I've done recently...

So happy to be NEW parents:

 You gotta see this new tool I got.  Its a button maker, that can turn anything into a button.  I chose the button w/o holes cuz I wanted to use pics and stuff, I used it on this LO, isnt it cool?!

Valentine ATC's

OK, I entered a Valentine ATC swap.
You may be asking yourself  "what is an ATC?" well, I'm still asking myself that so dont feel bad.
Apparently it stands for Artist Trading Card
Here are the 3 rules of ATC's. Copied & Pasted!

 1) ATC's are always the same size 2.5"x3.5" (or 64 x 89 millimeters)

2) ATC's are *ALWAYS* traded and *NEVER* sold.

3) ATC’s are always signed and dated by the creator on the back of the ATC.

There are no other rules...and I mean NONE. Make ATC's out of anything, about anything, with anything and for anything. Use whatever you have … and just play!

December Daily 1-14

So dont look too closely at this first page.  I dont have a cover yet so its been getting smeared and messed with.  I bought really good photo paper after printing these first few pics so I gotta re-print them.  Also there was glitter "1" inside the frame, but it disappeared somewhere.   So I figured as soon as I finish the cover I'll finish this page.

I WON!!!

YEAH!!! I won a $100. worth of scrapbooking product with this LO!

Stocking the blog!
