Boy was yesterday HOT? ...or what! I stayed inside as much as possible. Sonny was looking for some punishment, he went out and made some adjustments to our new steps. By the time he came back in he was soaking wet from sweat. I practiced coloring with my new Copic markers. I am getting better, but I have decided that I need more colors. Now, I will have to do something with all those images that I colored. I have a box full of containers that I have kept thinking that I will alter and reuse. I hate throwing away a perfectly good container. LOL Well, I finally did one, can you figure out what this box was used for originally? Have you seen the new Sizzix Bigz Die that Stampin' Up will have in the new catalog? When I first saw it, I thought, I'm not impressed. I don't need to have that one. Then! I watched a demonstrator video on it! Bad, bad, bad, thing to do. Well, I am now the proud owner of it. It's called "Pop-Up Look Here". I used Cosmo Cricket paper to create my first gift card holder using this die. I liked the card better before I added the stickles. I wanted the arrow to be real sparkly, pointing to the gift card. I guess that's what happens when you use an off brand that you have not experimented with yet. I'm off to shell black eyed peas, have a relaxing day.
