wahooo

i bought a silhouette cameo a few month's ago now, sadly every time i planned to go near it, got it out, something happened to prevent me from using it, knock at the door, phone ringing or Ellie popping round for 5 Min's that turned to hours. i did create a card for Ellie,s birthday cant believe the minx is 5 going on 50 lol, i do have a pic on my fb page so will need to save it into a file before i bring it to my blog.
well after downloading many free files and being unable to open them i eventually sussed that i cant touch certain files as i need the silhouette designer edition, at £50 its a road I'm not prepared to go down unless i make that money selling cards created using the machine first. the other night i created this card using a free file from here http://shirleystemplates.blogspot.co.uk/. some lovely files to be bought maybe in the future once i learn more. well lets get to the card in question, made for my friend and colleague at work, she likes it, i deliberately left no greeting as in the past she has left my cards up for a year or longer, she said she may even frame this on.
because i was having problems cutting it on thicker card i cut it from thin coloured card and wrapped it round the white base card, added the gems and left it at that, a rarity for me lol.
all i need to work out now is to resize i would love this to have been bigger, but hey ho that's to come .              cut from a chocolaty thin card.
