Fun Shopping Day!

Hi everyone!

Well got my blood work done yesterday then went shopping!!! I really went shopping to look for scallop punches (none to be found) and to get a heating tool that was on sale at A.C.Moore, some ribbon .25, $ stamps, Versamark...well guess what? The Cuttlebug & accessories were on sale for 40% off!!! Could not pass this up, right? hee! hee!



So I got the cuttlebug machine and two embossing folders (D'vine Swirl & Stylized Flowers) for - are you ready? drum roll please...$59. plus tax (charged that baby). What a great deal! I also got my heating tool, $ Halloween stamps, ribbon, versamark and staz-on jet black.


Then I went to Joann's and got some acrylic $ stamps, more ribbon, embossing powder in clear and iridescent sparkle. Then my last stop was Michael's where I bought embossing tray, more ribbon, more acrylic $ stamps, copper square brads and 40% off the Sizzix scallop tags for my sizzix machine. Now thats what I call a great shopping day! Unexpected bargains.

Now all I need to do is learn how to use all this stuff, so if anyone has any tips on how to use the cuttlebug please leave a comment or email me. I also need to learn how to do embossing, that should be interesting, wish I had someone here to teach me, oh well...I'm a fast learner and will be looking at every one's blog for tutorials.


Here's an ATC box that I made the other day. I got the tutorial from Stamp your Heart Out with Jenn D the measurements were wrong, (might be a typo on her blog) so you have to play with it a little till you get the measurements right. This is the measurements that I finally ended up with after playing for a long time: Bottom piece I used 4 3/4 x 5 3/4, then the big piece I used 8 1/4 x 3 7/8, I tried to write them down as I was playing with it so I think that was my final measurement, I'm sorry now that I didn't make a template of the final cut. Oh well! Live and learn, right? Hope that helps.

Hope you all have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Hugs...Rita
