I Have Become a Crafting Nightmare

Let me tell you about my current crafting obsession and what it means.

So I started out as an extremely casual/inconsistent scrapbooker. I would do a layout, put it away for a couple of years, do another layout. For YEARS. I have a Creative Memories photo album that I have had for about 13 years that's still not complete.

Then I decided to take it a bit more seriously and turned to mini albums. I found my art form. I have stacks of paper, accessories, die cuts (purchased), odds and ends, bit and pieces. I bought a Silhouette and use it a lot. I bought the Sizzix Texture Boutique and loved it. I bought embossing folders and a folder to put my folders in. I love to make and decorate the mini albums and I'm running out of friends and family I can give them to.

I do love the Silhouette Cameo. You can do anything with it. My sister is an artist and she can design things for me that I can put in to the Silhouette and then cut out and use. Amazing!

But always, always I have been interested in the Sizzix Big Shot. All the die options, all the embossing, all the different things you can do. Every tutorial I watched on YouTube would include an adorable die I wanted. I could get something like it for the Silhouette, but not that exact shape. I starte stalking the Big Shot. Visiting it in my local craft shop, watching how-tos on YouTube. So when Scrapbook.com announced the giveaway, I immediately did all the requirements I could to get as many entries as I could. And this is the final one I have any control over. I want one of those things and I want to up my odds. The Big Shot is SO cool and all the pieces included in the giveaway are amazing. I'm already fantasizing about everything I would do with it. The cards, the layouts, the felt shapes. Can I decorate a dress with some applique pieces? Let's find out!

So that's it. This is the first blog post I've done in about 8 years and I did it all for the crafting.
