I mentioned Monday that I would show you how I made my embellishments for my layout of Little Honey. Well, I've finally invested in a Circut...The Circut Imagine. After watching the demonstration at the Craft and Hobby Association Show and actually having some hands on time I realized out of all the Circuts the Imagine has the greatest potential for me to be able to create something new and different.
I sat up Tuesday waiting for the midnight hour. I Instant Messaged back and forth with a friend who was the expert buyer from HSN. By 12:01 over 500 had sold and I was right behind with my order. One catch, I did not tell my husband what I was up to at midnight with a TV, a phone, and my credit card. The deed was done, now to wait.
HSN said it would arrive on the 24th. Plenty of time to warn...tell...my husband. I checked the status on Thursday and it just said UPS had billed HSN for the pickup. I checked the status Friday to see if it had a "real" date. The tracking said it had left the dock in West Columbia and was headed for my house. Before noon my Circut Imagine was on one of my studio tables. I didn't have the heart to unpack it until I told my husband. So I patiently waited until he came home from work.
After several false starts I finally told Jim what I purchased and that it had arrived. He did not bat an eye but said "okay." He did say, "I thought you didn't want a Circut." Oh, but this is not just any Circut it is the Imagine! So all said and done it was my birthday present and I used it for the first time creating LH's first layout. What a better birthday than I could imagine!
Layout
I have been having fun playing with pink and cream so I pulled out an old photo of me and decided to play a bit. I love the Magic Mesh, Prima Crystals, and Prima Flowers. My mother made the little crocheted piece underneath the large flower. I used Craft Dots from Glue Dots® Adhesives to adhere all the pieces together. They are larger than the minis and very strong for heavier embellishments. They are my all time favorite.

ReplyDeleteCongrats Debby! I know you'll enjoy it. I have had my Expression for over a year and I just love it. Don't think I'll get an Imagine as it's way more expensive than I can afford. I'll look forward to seeing what you create with it.
