The Cuttlebug:

This will be my last post for the evening, but this is the cuttlebug. Yep, I want this too!

Cuttlebug Information

I'm definately going to put this in my Cricut Binder: Cuttlebug Sandwiches

Important Sandwiching Notes:
· Always err on the THIN side; you can pass the sandwich through the machine again, but if you start out too thick, you can potentially break a plate or otherwise hurt your new ‘bug!
· If a cardstock or chipboard shim is noted, always try the sandwich without first, then add cut-to-size (the size of the plates) cardstock or chipboard layers until the appropriate thickness of the sandwich is determined.
· Based on feedback, the space inside the Cuttlebugs differ from machine to machine, so be SURE to error on the THIN-STACK side!

shim Cuttlebug Embossing sandwich will result in B Plate

This is a room that has a lot of die cuts for cuttlebug and sizzix, which is next on my list.

One of my projects

I've got to try and not be so hard on myself. This doesn't look that bad. I know I have a long way to go, but it's a start.

Here is some of my origiinal work. I gave this card to a guy at my husband's job. He loved it! It was like literally the very first thing I've done. Yeah....

Adding some more stuff....

I'm going to be adding some of the stuff I've posted on my other blog. Have a great night!
