New edition to our family!

Hello.  Well I have to admit I am quite embarrassed by my lack of posting in recent months.  I allowed busy and travel to completely derail my blogging endeavors.   I was surprised by the number of people who have commented that they were reading my blog until I stopped posting...It was pretty encouraging...so I am back.

We had a wonderful Christmas and I am super pumped about the 

newest edition to our family...

wait for it...

It is my Silhouette Cameo.  

(You thought I was gonna say I am pregnant  Sorry if you are disappointed.)

What is a Silhouette Cameo?

A Silhouette is similar to a Circuit Expression.  

It can cut designs on paper, fabric, vinyl and other print mediums.

It can also sketch designs.  

I love the Silhouette because it is 

compatible to use with my Mac (or PC) computer.  

I simply download the software from 

their website and I design right from my computer.  

This gives me access to all of the fonts already loaded onto my computer.  

I also don't have to hassle with buying cartridges because

 I can purchase and download images and designs individually from the Silhouette website.

I have done a few projects...this is one of the first....

a flower using a free template I downloaded from the Silhouette website. 

You can download this template from the Silhouette America website...

the template is called 3d_fanned_flower_C03086_1.

To find more design ideas...check out the Link Party on Maggie Muggins Blog.

I am excited to be back!  Hope you all will start reading again!
