I just recently sold my little silhouette and bought a cameo (I just did my first cut on it yesterday but I need to make it into something before I post that freebie). My thoughts for getting the cameo was that I would no longer need my cricut. I've got rid of my less used cartridges already and now I'm down to my final 15. I want to go through them and make sure there is nothing I will NEED before I get rid of them. First on the chop block is Storybook. If you are a cricut/cartridge user, this is a good one. I made two cards with it today, but I think I'm comfortable letting it go now. Next up will be Cindy Loo .
For the two cards: the cherry blossom is cut at 3.5 inch and Thank you is at 1 inch. For the branch/butterfly card, it is the border cut done at 1.75 inch, butterfly is a martha punch and the friend is a Stampin Up stamp.
I also did my first serger project this week- some flannel pillowcases for my boys. My mom gave me her serger over a year ago, but I hadn't even taken the cover off. The first pillowcase took me over an hour due to not knowing how to use a serger and having to rethread the darn thing, but the second one only took about 15 minutes. That machine is fast and a little intimidating but I love the finished edge and will definitely be using it more in the future. Hopefully I won't loose a finger in the process.
Thanks for looking!
