New Blog Look

A couple of weeks ago I decided I wanted a unique blog look.  I made the header on this page with Photoshop.  The crafts shown were all sold or given as gifts last year.  It still needs work, but I'm still learning Photoshop and Blogger!

Valentine Card

This is a scan of the Valentine's Day card I made.  I used my Silhouette to cut it out.  I made the pieces using paint, then used the trace feature in the Silhouette Studio.

CCR and Expression 2

I love all the buzz about the new Cricut Craft Room and the Expression 2.  I've been reading everything.  I was tempted to get the E2, but I have decided against it for now.  My wish list for PC's CCR:  the ability to freehand images, to use my computer's fonts, to use it offline, and to be able to purchase single images.  I will not be getting rid of my Silhouette soon.  I don't pay a fee to use the Silhoutte software, they have free upgrades, and I can find free cutting files on the net.  My only problems:  the cutting mat is not as large, and I don't use a laptop, so when I cut everything must move to the computer room.  I guess to sum it up, I love both the cricut and the silhoutte!
