Adorable card!!!
I have several of the cross stitch dies available....several companies make them. I am on the fence, as a cross stitcher, I love the idea of using my love of cross stitching into a card. BUT...it is a lot of work for a card. So I go back and forth on whether it's a good use of my time or not. BUT.....I recently used the MFT tag cross stitch die (which is smaller) to cut holes out on a felt banner and cross stitch on it. I liked the look and like that the time I am spending on it will be saved.

I have it, but it's not my favorite. I like the smaller size of the one I have. But my favorite cutter is my Cutterpillar

Not stamping well in the corner is killing it for me. I want to like it but I feel like the corner issue, for me, is a big deal.

Is anyone else thinking about Christmas 2018 crafting? What projects are you working on or thinking about? I crafted up until the last minute this year. I was prepared with cards but I was still stitching banners and making gift bags up until the end! I am trying to be even more proactive this year. I have already started on 2018!!!! Now it will take me a LONG time to get done....but I've started!!! Who else? I did a blog post showing some of my projects that I did this year and what I've started for 2018 if anyone is interested: Here is a BIG blog post of my Christmas crafts that I worked on and MANY felt projects: 3monkeysthrowingaroundsomepaper.blogspot.com/2018/01/felt-felt-more-felt-projects-christmas.html

I have one of the first Brother Scan N cuts, and I have to say, I am thrilled with mine. I wanted it to cut out stamped images, and it does that. I don't do anything else with it, maybe one day I'll figure something else out, but for me, it does exactly what I bought it to do. Happy camper!

Okay take this with a grain of salt: I was told from a local retailer that 1) the misti creator was extremely hard to deal with at a wholesale level. 2) the lawsuit was settled because while the MISTI creator was suing TH for the US patent....TH holds international patents and he basically said if I can't sell in the US, the MISTI couldn't be sold OUTSIDE of the US. and that is why it was settled. Now this was heard from someone else, I have NO personal knowledge that it is true or false but it made sense.

I must be the lone one that loves it. I like the sentiments. I immediately thought Disney scrapbook pages or cards. I can't wait to get mine

I have the Vagabond 2, it's on amazon right now. It works great for me, and is a work horse of a machine. I think the big shot express is sold out but supposed to be re-released some time in the new year.

As far as favorite projects: I love the stitching dies from PaperTrey ink, they are really well thought out with special extras. I've been making banners and Christmas Ornaments.
Benzie Designs sells their felt in 9X12 sheets. I buy them in the color collections packs. For those I store in my bin in plastic gallon ziplock bags (felt folded in half). I don't store them by the color because I love their felt in color collections, so I use them a little bit different.

Every year, I buy new Christmas stamp sets, I love them! I always have a "favorite" for various reasons. Does anyone else do this? What is your favorite Christmas stamp set this year? (new) Mine is Stampin' Up's Sugarplum Dreams. I did a blog post showing my new favorite Christmas stamp set from this year if anyone is interested: Sharing some Christmas cards today and also using the same Christmas stamp set for another occasion! Lots of cards on the blog, : 3monkeysthrowingaroundsomepaper.blogspot.com/2017/11/using-christmas-stamp-for-other.html

I'm gonna preface this with I am a Stampin' Up demo: when I first heard about the new platform, I kept thinking how different could it be? Well I was impressed when they showed the video. I like the 4 stamping sides- great for the layered stamps (like Altenew). I like the open sides to do other sized projects. I like the example they show with moving the plates up and down to create some unique stamping. I like the area on bottom to store magnets in. I like that they used a bar magnet instead of the circles. Overall, I think it is a well thought out product. Preordering is going like mad, first window sold out in 15 minutes.....There is a second preorder window coming up. And then one after that. It will be in the catalog that comes out in June so all these are preorders, I hope they have enough to launch with the new catalog. I think it will sell well. I didn't preorder....YET>....but I might.

I miss place everything!!!! Unless I label the drawers, so know I label the outside of my drawers with what is in it so I don't forget. that helps if I actually put the item back correctly though!!!

I love the kit as always. I noticed I didn't get my notice that if I wanted to order any coordinating items with my subscription. Went in to look and my subscription had been canceled. I didn't cancel but I have had a credit card compromised so maybe it was the one I used to pay for it, but I also didn't get any email saying my CC payment didn't go through. I was able to reorder with a new card: I ordered the subscription again, and November kit, with the add on for the animals stamp set.

OMG....you NEED to share your cat dressed as Wonder Woman....that's awesome!!!
We have a cat as well, well as much as she qualifies as a cat...she's more dog like sometimes! LOL I scrap the dogs more because they photograph better, Sammy moves around so much when I'm trying to get a good picture!!!

I had to giggle at your post, I NEVER watch crafting videos with my hubby in the room, or at least not with the sound on....he makes stupid comments and then I can't focus on what the video is saying but what he is commenting on.
Kits aren't cheating, it gives your scrapbooks a different look! LOVE kits!!
