FINALLY opening my Silhouette Cameo!!!!

Hey Hey!!!

So, I know I have been promising for FOREVER that I was going to do a video about opening my Cameo, and guess what???? I FINALLY did it! I even had my little guy help get the packaging off!!!

Once I opened it, I could not WAIT to play with it! So, as soon as I came home from my first day back to work, I set it up! It looks so nice next to my Cricut Mini! I feel like such a paper crafter, LOL! Here's my not as long video!

I cant wait to make my first project with it! I will probably make one to submit to a few design teams that I wanted to try out for! I did find out today that sadly I did not get picked for the Paper Crafters Library design team, BUT there is always next term! And maybe by then, I will have some more of you awesome followers, as well as a better understanding of adding videos to my blog!

OK guys, time for me to jet! Hope to catch you all Craftin and Stampin!

Paper Crafters Library Design Team Submission

Hi Blog Friends!

Today you will get a special treat! I am submitting a few designs for the Paper Crafters Library Design Team!!!! So, hope you all enjoy!

Here are my 3 best designs for my submission for the Paper Crafters Library Design Team!!

I am very nervous about doing this, but I will be SO upset with myself if I don't! I will always wonder "what if I would have done it" and I know I would never let myself live it down. I'm JUMPING out of my "comfort zone"!

So, here goes nothing!!!

My 3entries are going to ALL be holiday items! I hope that is OK!

The first 2 pictures are actually items that I made from your tutorial about manila file folder organizers. I LOVED making these! Here is 2 pictures for you to see!

 The next card was also one of the ones I created for my holiday cards. It was fun experimenting with new items. I have never used letterpress plates before this project. I used a letterpress plate from Stampin' Up.  I used both Versamark ink, and I also made one with white craft ink. Both turned out fantastic, but this one was my favorite out of both methods!

The next I item I made was created with my die cutting machine (Cricut Imagine). I am showing off this project because it is the first time anything I ever created got mentioned online! This was mentioned in the Cricut Chirp (first week of December 2011)! I was very excited about it!!! So, here is my wall/door hanging.

(Sorry, this picture was taken from very far away! I had to zoom in! Also, it should be noted that I purchased a new camera for still shots that I will be using for any pictures I need to take if I should be picked to be on your design team!)

Here is a link for my You Tube Video. It is a short video on how to use the new framelet's dies that are coming out in January from Stampin' Up. Please note that I asked for a tripod that my husband will give me on Christmas morning, lol. And I am also experimenting with my lighting. I hope it is bright enough for you to see!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to try out! Even if I do not make it, I had a great time trying! And, there is always next year ;)

Til next time....I hope to find you all craftin' and stampin'
