I have a new toy - I bought a Cuttlebug! I haven't gotten it out of the box yet but plan to this week. I also bought a Tim Holtz die and a few embossing plates. Luckily I'm off this week to play!!!

| I'm still playing with acrylic paints. |
I started making another project from the 12 Artsy Ornaments e-course. It's a wreath wrapped in burlap and then you add balls wrapped in yarn, lace, old book print, etc. Here's the beginning of my wreath. I wrapped a ball in yarn and glued it onto the wreath. I need to make some of the fabric flowers. I found a piece of old lace and cut it into 1 inch strips and covered a ball. Not sure if I like it so I haven't glued it on yet.
Here's a little doodle I did on one of the 2 x 3 canvas. Too cute!

Thanks for visiting. I'm hoping to have my wreath done and try out my Cuttlebug since I'm off from work all this week.

Fab desk, you would have to rip off a couple of layers to make them a bit thinner they are too thick, and wet them to get the best embossing result, I don't mean dripping wet I mean moist. Happy new year
Lovely doodle! Happy WOYWW and all the best for 2012! Tango, #37
The wreath looks like a fun project! You'll have to keep us posted. Cute supervisor by the way!

ps thanks for following me
Oh welcome to the die cutting side...now you have to find two very big storage areas for dies and folders...and you have to make a pact with yourself every now and then to make something without a die or a folder!!! Have fun!
Daisy looks like she is trying to send you a message through ESP....guess that's the way she supervises! Happy New Year from North Carolina!
Have fun with your new toys! Merry, Merry, Happy, Happy!!!
Ooooooh, you got lots of new toys! Have fun with your Cuttlebug, they are fantastic! -Meechelle #86
Oh your wreath looks so very interesting. I do hope you show us the finished project! Thanks for the peek of your task master Daisy too! My best for 2012!
I can't wait to see the finished wreath as I can't even fathom what it is to be like. Have lots of fun with your Cuttlebug! I hemmed and hawed over getting one for a long time and then was so pleased when I did. I find myself doing dies more than embossed background, but I think that is because I'm a HUGE patterned paper fan.
Wow, so much new to play with! The doodle is cute, but so is the little doggie! And I love your carpet, too :)

You do know it all downhill from here now that you have a diecutting machine you will need every die out..... such a fun toy - sorry piece of equipment! - though wouldnt be without my bigshot for anything. Have fun playing with the new toys! Thanks for the lovely comments you have left me these past few weeks and I hope you have a lovely new year too.
It is true, no matter how many dies/folders you have, there is always another one you 'must have', lol. You might like my newest post about using long Tim dies without the expense of extended plates too-I hope you had a great Christmas, and have a very Happy New Year, love Shaz xx
Hey, just popped back to say that your phone post almost worked...there was a typo on the blogspot address, which I was ale to correct on the link list, so I've left both entries because they both link correctly now. Don't give up on your phone...although I have..can't cope with the teeny tiny text any more!!!!!!
Me again- I went & caught up with the visit list before going to read who had posted on mine, lol. Thanks for becoming a follower and for your lovely comments. Shaz xx
Oh you will LOVE playing with you new toys...
And it looks like you have a Great project going on now too.... hope to see what you do with it next week!
Thanks for your visit, and have a Happy New Years!!!
Have fun playing with your new toy - I have a Big Shot and don't know what I'd do without it so I'm sure you're going to love your Cuttlebug. Happy New Year! Sharon x
Thanks for visiting! Glad that you have joined our little...or maybe not so little family of WOYWWers. It is like having a new generation of pen pals :). Love my cuttlebug, hope you enjoy yours! Great little canvas. Have a happy New Years! -Amanda #9
Aren't these supervisors just great?!!
Nice stuff on your desk today and looking forward to seeing that wreath finished. Have fun with your cuttlebug!
Happy New Year

P.S. My name of Hettie is my family pet name for me!! Apparantly Hettie is what my father wanted to call me but Mum won - named after Grace Kelly who played Samantha Tracey in High Society!! Oops! That has probably given my age away!!
Love that little red canvas and Daisy is absolutely adorable, a first class supervisor!
Oh fun, I peeped about a bit and that Shepard's pie looks yummy. Best Wishes for a Happy New Year for you and yours. Happy WOYWW
Hi there Kay, well you are going to go on one major learning curve as you enter a whole new level of crafting with the dear old beloved bug - have great fun dear friend any help dont be afraid to ask ot google it on You tube that is what I did when I started - and yes you can break your machine if you have a strong hand (My hands are weak so no issues for me but my friend broke hers!)- and love your doodle and your supervisor :D
Thanks so much for popping over, for sharing and being such a blessing in 2011. Happy WOYWW! Love, Shaz in Oz. x #24
You're going to have so much fun with your Bug, have fun getting acquainted! Love your little helper, does she stamp too? Have a wonderful New Year.

Hello Doodle Girl, I hope you love your Cuttlebug as much as I love mine - I get excellent results from both the embossing folders and the dies I've acquired, hopefully you will too. Your desk suggests that you have loads of projects on the go and I look forward to seeing the results over the coming weeks. Elizabeth x #65
I love your supervisor. I hope Daisy has read up all the things you need to learn about your new Bug. You will have a wonderful time experimenting with all it can do, and there are lots of people out there who will give you the benefit of their tips ans tricks. Have a wonderful 2012, full of good health, happiness and fun. Maggie #49
I know you're going to love your new Cuttlebug I own 4 of them because I teach classes and use them in nearly every class. You might want to check around for the folders from the UK , Couture Creations they are awesome! have fun!!!
