Bigshot vs Bigkick

My Bigkick died last night the handle snapped right off.

I was able to get my plates out with a pair of pliers.

I have had it for a good number of years it lead a good life

does anyone know if there is a difference between

the Bigshot and the Bigkick and if so what

is it? Seems the Bigkick is a little cheap from the

web searches I have done.....

What did cutting machine do you have?

I love snowmen and this sleigh with the

 adorable vinyl guy is so adorable!

What a great gift or  holiday decoration this

would make. The blue scarf and hat

pop off the red sled. Those beautiful

snowflakes are the perfect addition for

balance and fun.

Think about it Thursday

For your holiday cards do you mass produce one card

or make a bunch of different cards?

I usually end up doing a combination
I make a variety of cards and if I need more
I pick a simple design to mass produce so I will have
enough.....

My Cup Runneth Over

 

Wow where to begin on this card, so many wonderful elements.

I love the vintage feel the papers and the doily, tickets and stitching

lend to the overall design. The buttons and Santa hat with

the holly berries give the perfect pop of Christmas

red and green! I sure the lucky person that

receives this card will treasure it. I know I would.

Think about it Thursday

Do you post every card you make

or only the ones you like or love?

In the beginning days of my blog I posted almost

every card.

Put now I am much more critical of my own work

and only post the cards

I like.
