at five ...

For Amanda's scraplift the teachers challenge over at Escape2Create.

A bit more Silhouette action this morning!

So finally some scrapping!!

On Thursday I received my long awaited Silhouette Cameo! Yay!!

So this morning I unpacked it and got to work.

After a couple of false starts I had some success ... lucky it's only paper hey!

Firstly I went for a title and then once I had taken the letters out I used the rest as a mask ...

Then with the next one I wanted to try a different technique and it was a little more labour intensive!!

When you put the cardstock through the cutting machine it temporarily sticks to a sticky mat to hold it in the correct alignment and the mat being new is fairly sticky and to get the cardstock off after the cutting is a slow process but worth it I think :-)

Next time I think I will try cutting some shapes rather than just the fonts I have tried so far :-)

Oh Silhouette hurry up ...

Oh my how totally gorgeous is this Advent by Kerri Bradford Studio ... I am definitely going to download the one!!
