Happy Saturday everyone! It is Saturday isn't it? It feels like we have had a succession of weekends and my poor furry brain is a bit confused. It didn't help with Holby City being on BBC1 last night, which made Friday feel like Tuesday!!
Anyhoo, I've been playing with my new toy - the Grand Calibur - and I have to say, I love it to bits! I can finally emboss the edges of my dies (I could never get a rubber mat through my Cuttlebug) so I have been cutting and embossing like a mad woman over the past thirty six hours.
TOTALLY GORJUSS challenge this week have the theme of NEW and the challenge over at CRAFT is Not A Card and at WINTER WONDERLAND it is New Beginnings so what I made late yesterday fits these well .......
As you can see, I only have the Grand circle dies for the moment, lol!
Stamped image is Crafters Companion Everyday Mulberry Wood - Relax
Painted in Distress Inks (ReInkers)
Numbers are Memory Box "Parker"
Papers are a mix of Papermania and First Editions
Calendar tab is Anita's
Finishing items are Cropodile eyelets, two book rings and a piece of ribbon
Sorry about the shine on the photo - I forgot to take the picture before I laminated the page.
I did think about taking this to work to hang on my office wall but Toad says that I'm not too as he likes it too much never to see it again - so it is now hanging in our dining room, bless him.
And what wonderful news from the New Year's Honours List for British sportsmen and women - but the one I am most thrilled about is SIR Bradley Wiggins!
Let's hope 2013 is as good for British cycling as 2012 has been - and maybe even a second Tour de France win.....? The 100th Tour de France starts on 29th June with the island of Corsica hosting the Grand Depart. I'm off to mark it on the calendar and book some holiday!
Hugs, Sxx

WOW this is lovely I too love my GC xxx
ReplyDeleteGo Squirrel!!!! I have a long wish list of XXL Go Kreate dies!! Beautiful card - the papers are perfect and the image is coloured beautifully. I love it. Big hugs, Jayne xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, love that little bear. Glad you love the GC. I find it really good for cutting intricate dies as the bits come out much easier than with my Big Shot. Thanks also for playing at TG.
ReplyDeleteLovely calendar Squirrel. That image is sooo cute. I always mean to make a calendar but it never seems to happen!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be loving your Grand Calibur. I have one which has still to make it out of the box! What is really bad is that I've had it since before Christmas. I think I've got two dies for it! Also have a couple of A4 embossing folders that would have been useful a few times. Funny how you can't seem to find time to do something that would make things easier and quicker! Doesn't make sense does it. I'm going to unpack it this week. Definitely.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful creation just perfect for our New Beginnings challenge at the Winter Wonderland, wishing you a Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteHugs Kate xx
What an excellent and sweet calendar. May every day be one you can relax and kick back! I learned that not all rubber mats are created equal so you have to have the right one to get the embossed effect with a Cuttlebug. But who cares now, right as you have your fun new toy! Happy playing!
ReplyDeleteLovely creation thank you so much for joining us at CRAFT this time.
