My new Cameo arrived on Monday. Darin didn't want me to open it. Something about it being a Christmas present and I couldn't play with it until then? I don't know. Anyway, I've been experimenting with it and am pleased as pop (is my family the only one that uses that expression?) with it. See, happiness -> :)
Yesterday I used it to finish a project that I have been stewing over for a while. I saw
this at Ikea and was totally inspired. I decided to do my own version for my little sister for Christmas.

After figuring out how the Silhouette Studio software works (which you can
download for free here, by the way), I put together this little number in barely anytime at all. A little cardstock; a sheet of patterned pink, scrapbook paper; a $6 scrapbook frame from Walmart; and I was in business. Not bad for a first project.
When I first conceived this idea two months ago, I was planning on doing a simpler design and cutting it by hand. I am so glad I waited! I was able to get so many intricate details with the Silhouette Cameo and it is so pretty! I especially love how the fairy's wings turned out. I really hope my sister likes it. :)

I hope she doesn't read your blog and spoil her surprise! Or is this an early Christmas present, too? ;)
She's nine, so I'm not too worried. :)
