Got my silhouette out of the closet!

Some of you might remember that we have been building a house for the last year. Most of my craft supplies (except my computer!) have been in packing boxes for months! We finally moved into our new home a few weeks ago. My *new* craft room is the last room to be put together.

I'm picking up my new cabinets for the room tomorrow and my hubbie will install them this weekend. I'm so excited! I'll finally have a place to set everything up.

In the meantime...I found my silhouette and set it up yesterday. Took me awhile to ge the software loaded and upgraded. Then I had to figure out how to import something and trace it! I also used Mari's new cutting files and that awesome 'crimping' technique!

So here's my first card. Looking forward to creating more wonderful things when I get my room set up!



Thanks Mari for the inspiration!

I love your card!!!

I went ahead and ordered one today with the educator's discount and now I just cannot wait for it to arrive!

Where did you order it from?

I ordered it directly from Silhouette America. They were great to work with!

Ok Kristi! I am so happy for you! your card i stunning and love how you shaped the flowers!

Thanks Mari! I'm looking forward to trying the rolled roses too!

Can you tell me what the discount is for educators? I really want one of these for use at school. I don't have the right documentation but I am sure I can find someone to order for me.

Sherri, here's the link to the educator discount

ETA: Oh I guess you can't find out what the discount is without proving you qualify... hopefully Monica can tell you what she got!

Just in case anyone else is wondering, the educational discount is 20% off.

Sherri, I hope you're able to get it. It sounds as if it could really be a big help for you!
