There are so many cute images from Cricut and after seeing the hundreds of online videos, it looks really easy to use. The only draw back for me was that the cartridges take up space; something I don't have much of. Also I love watching Robyn's video's over at My Pink Stamper, she makes it look like fun.
I found another blogger Nichol Magouirk who's made Silhouette videos. She does wonders with her scrapbooking layouts. And after asking her about the die cutting machine she said she's had a cricut before but preferred the Silhouette. So I figured I couldn't go wrong with either machine.
One day I stumbled upon a kijiji ad for a Silhouette, it was in the price range I was looking for and close by. I jumped on the deal which was posted in the morning and by the evening, I had it in my hands. The seller was super nice and gave me cardstock too.
Since then I have created a couple of birthday cards and a mini scrapbook. They have tons of online images to choose from and they only cost from $.50 to $1.99 each. I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to using it when I scrapbook.... now if the Cricut drops in my price range, I might just have to pick that up too ; )
This is the first card I made with the Silhouette. I remember reading the Mr. Men™ and Little Miss™ books by Roger Hargreaves when I was young so the images were nostalgic (for me and my Husband).
Thanks for stopping by! And have a great weekend!
If you're in Canada, I hope you saw some beautiful fireworks yesterday : ) Happy Canada Day!
