Boring.

Nothing boring here today Smile The sun is shining so even the commute was lovely driving through the trees and valley. Work was hard, hectic and adrenaline fuelled but not boring. Our mortgage application was approved and my sizzix eclips has arrived and cuts beautifully! I am using some of the mortgage and my savings to do some much needed improvement work on the house, which I am really happy to do, but I have treated myself to this much longed for toy as part of that. I wanted a cricut since I first started crafting, I didn’t need and couldn’t justify it then. Over the last year or so though since I have been planning to start a crop and I thought it would be useful to cut down on the cost of alphas, since seeing the magic of the ecal/scal where you can design your own images, use your own fonts to make alphas then it has become an absolute want. After lots of research this last year, I decided on the sizzix eclips.

Right, off to play with the software that goes with it Smile Then I better get on with planning this crop so it earns it’s keep!

  4. All the best with your new crop xx
    I have a silhouette that was GIVEN to me by a teamie but haven't used it much, so really must try again. My laziness makes me grab alphas or the Big shot, too many options!!
