Thanks for my Big Shot :)

Well, I made sure I got around to making at least one card this week. We are doing some upgrades around the house and I really want to get that done. It was hard not to stamp as I had orders drifting in all week long. I apologize for the picture as the sun is just not in the same position as it usually is and it was hard finding a spot without shadows in our woods.

Boy, am I going to love having a Die cut machine. For those who may have missed it Stampin' Up! is now carrying the Big Shot by Sizzix. I have never used a machine like this but it is so easy. I vowed not to play until my room and desk were cleaned. My room was the dump everything room while we painted and worked on the other rooms, so it was not an easy task, but I held out! Meanwhile I could not keep Garrett's (my almost 13 yr old) hands off it. I think he used every die that I bought at least once. I had to use one of my new sets (can you see it lightly on the scallop?). What a fun, inexpensive set Pocket Silhouettes is. I can see so many possibilities with it! I cannot believe I did a card that said "Thanks" I am always getting on my kids to finish it and say "Thank you" So here I am....I did do a lot of sponging around the edges.:)
