Courage

I thought this sentiment was just perfect for this month's celebration!  How thought provoking, "Change is what happens when you take small steps of courage."  Don't you love that?  I am also using some great Turkish Lace on this card along with some adorable floral confetti.  The stamp is from Unity stamps.

Question of the day, ???

do you have a die cut machine(s)?  what kind?

I have TOO many to fess up to, but I mostly use my big shot and my cuttlebug.  I don't want to admit to the others lol!!

  22. I love this card so much. She is so beautiful and paired with the lace, it is perfect. I have always admired this girl, I might need to add her to my wishlist! I have a cuttlebug and a Cricut. I use my cuttlebug all the time and need to use my Cricut more often!

  23. What a pretty card, and the floral confetti adds such a fun touch! I have a Big Shot and a Spellbinders Platinum 6. The Big Shot is my main die cutter and I keep the Spellbinders next to it to do embossing so that I don't have to keep switching the platform tabs on my Big Shot. I LOVE my die cut machines!

  28. Oh, this card is so beautiful with the gorgeous image and that pretty lace! I don't think I would be able to bring myself to use my lace on a card and send it out, lol! I don't have a die cut machine but I borrow my mom's Big Shot when she comes to visit and she die-cuts shapes for me when I request them. I love using die cut designs so should probably give in and get myself my own Big Shot.

  35. Beautiful card. The sentiment is exactly where I have been over more than a year. Lots of small steps forward and gradually gaining ground....smiling. Like you I have waaaay too many die machines and embossers. My favorites are the Big Shot and Spellbinder's Platinum. Hugs, Barbara

  45. That's a gorgeous image and card! Love it. I'm thinking I better plead the 5th about those die cut machines [wink].

  46. Such a pretty image! I love how you color hair!

    I used to have an old lever sizzix machine, but I sold it. I've had a cuttlebug for a while. I like it, but it kinda wears me out. I use it a good bit, but It's kinda heavy, and I'm not real strong anymore. For my birthday my partner got me a Sizzix Sidekick. I love that tiny little thing! It's small, so it's in my papercraft tool box, and it's pretty light, so easy to move around. The thing only cuts 2.5x3.5 inch dies, but I use small dies quite a lot anyway. I highly recommend them! I have 2 12 inch dies, that I need to get the long plates for the cuttlebug. I expect I should put that on my list.

  47. I love this sentiment. It is very appropriate for today as my youngest daughter and her husband had their gender reveal party at my house today. This may be their only child as they need IVF (2nd attempt) to have this child. It is a Boy! I have a Cuttlebug which I use a lot. Love this card.
