New Toy Tuesday: Silhouette Cameo

I did it. I finally broke down and bought a Silhouette Cameo. (Like 3 months ago. It’s been a busy summer.) You may remember that I already have a Pazzles, and you may be wondering why I need 2 electronic die cutters. I don’t.

We’re back from vacation. I’m going to apologize in advance for the bad pictures. I’m being lazy about unpacking the camera and uploading pics, so iphone photos will have to do. We had such a great trip home and really did not want to leave. Of course, I had big crafting plans for while I was gone and (almost) none …
