I have met a wonderful gal named Sabrina from Cuttlebug blog which is a challenge blog for cuttlebug beginners. She had sent me email about a month ago asking I would be a guest designer on her cuttlebug blog.. Only problem, I don't own a cuttlebug, but with a generous heart, Sabrina actually sent me my very own cuttlebug as a gift..
"WOW!!" is all I could say really..
So, I got my cuttlebug in the mail about a week ago and I was so very excited to open the box and explore all of the wonderful things this little green thing can do...LOL
and then it hit me like a brick wall " I have no idea what the hell I'm doing!"... :O)
So, no need to panic, I checked out some how to videos on youtube and I was like "OH yeah, I can do this!"..LOL
and well, this layout is my very first ever attempt at embossing..
Sabrina said that this months topic is Flower Power and she knows how much I love's them flowers, Perfect topic for me...LOL
Here are a few close ups of the layout:
Supplies Used:
Cricut cartridges:
Home Decor: flowers
A Childs Year: leaves
pooh and friends: clouds
paper doll dress up: fence
my community: house
storybook: vines and plants
