Silhouette PixScan

As soon as Silhouette America launched the PixScan I knew I had to have it. I absolutely love buying new stamp sets, but absolutely hated having to buy a more expensive matching die set for every stamp set I buy. The PixScan mat really helps me because now I do not have to have dies for every stamp set I have. Below is a wedding card I made using WPlus9 Fresh Cut Wreaths. I am incredibly happy with how well the Silhouette Cameo worked with the PixScan mat!
I've read on some posts on Instgram that some people are having issues calibrating their mats, or something of the sort, with their machines. I had absolutely zero issues. It worked perfectly the first time I went to use it. My iPhone 5s worked seamlessly with the program. Plus with iCloud Photostream for Apple Products, I didn't even have to connect my iPhone to my iMac to download the photo for the PixScan mat! I highly recommend this mat to everyone with a Silhouette product!!!

Sketch Challenge #237


Recently I bought the new Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather 6x6 paper pad. I absolutely love Lawn Fawn EVERYTHING as it is all so adorable and easy to use in projects. Here is the first card I've got around to making with my new pad.

Sketch Challenge #240

It's hard to believe that it is already time to start on Christmas cards, so that when December hits, it isn't a mad house. Today I used Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge #240 to get started. 


Almost all supplies were from the 
December 2013 Card Kit 
from Simon Says Stamp
Patterned papers are Doodlebug
