You know...a few things here..a few things there.. basically LOTS OF THINGS EVERYWHERE! HA! HOWEVER....the most exciting part of my workspace this week is the addition of a couple of VERY fabulous items due to my awesome family and my birthday!
Yup! That's a Grand Calibur! And my parents gave it to me for my birthday. And I'm in love with it! Well, okay...I haven't actually used it yet as I just got it on Sunday evening and that darned job that pays the bills keeps getting in the say...BUT...I KNOW I am going to love it!!! You can cut, you can emboss, you can stencil, you can slice, you can dice, and you can julienne! I bet, if I tried, this sucker could even make smoothies. Just say'n. HA! Okay...so really just the first three, but that's PRETTY amazing!!!! I bought a couple of die sets already and I will be playing with it this weekend and getting it all set up. Along with this...
What is that, you ask? Well, those just so happen to be the photo studio lights that go with my new at-home studio! It's a fabulous collapsible light box, complete with backdrops, tripod, lights, and fabulous storage!!! I have to move a table around in my room to get it set up and play with it a bit to learn how to properly use it, but I am SO excited!!! I've wanted one of these for a long time! I'm giddy!!!! The Hubbums looked through several options before deciding on this one and he chose SO WELL! I love it!!!!
As for this pretty little card, well, I created it with the Scrapbook Circle Remember This kit and the amazing printable that is included with the kit purchase! I LOVE this printable!!! Polaroid frames. Need I say more? LOL! This one was featured on the Scrapbook Circle blog yesterday along with a layout made by one of the other DT members using the printable in awesome ways! This kit is seriously amazing!
So...that's all for today.
Oh....WAIT just a minute! I need to announce a winner from my Birthday Giveaway! The winner is...
ERIN!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll enjoy the GC - hope you have time soon to play. I'd love one, but have a cricut and a cuttlebug, so couldn't really justify it (Hazel, WOYW #136) x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card amazing colors. Congrats to Erin for winning and have fun playing with all your new toys.
ReplyDeleteVery cool card--and I'm envious of the GC--I've been starting to wonder if I NEED something like that myself.
ReplyDeletewoohoo, what a birthday, hope you enjoy playing with the GC! and your studio will be fabulous! I am tempted to get one for my birthday, hubby is always asking me if I need something crafty!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW! Debxx
Happy Birthday to you, just a little envious of your grand calibur, ok a big bit envious lol. Love the pretty little butterfly card, I always smile when i see your profile picture, you look like your having so much fun in your world, keep smiling. Have a great crafty week Lou @#91
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and have lots of fun playing with your new Grand Caliber.
ReplyDeleteThat light box system looks awesome. I really need to invest in something similar as my work space has glare from the overhead lights and no natural light (basement room. I love the look of your lights...does it come with a collapsible tent type structure to place the items you wish to photograph? And maybe a tripod too? I have been eyeing up some different ones but can't decide.
Keep posting some feedback on your blog...
wow you did have an awesome birthday...and I always loved your photos ...been wanting to forever make one of your light boxes ....shame on me...it will be exciting to see your photos now!
ReplyDeleteloveee your card pretty paper!
hugs
