This is the first ever thing I have cut out of vinyl. I picked up a pack of vinyl when I bought the pazzles six months ago confident that I would be cutting everything out of vinyl... but then I made one attempt and it went completely wrong. Seeing this challenge this month made me go back and watch the videos... (duh back to class) and I am so proud of my first attempts. As I have a newly decorated craft room, this was a perfect thing to try. I am going to try 2/3 colour stuff now - I have an image in my head of a little design fairy... working on it now...> Thanks for making me try something scary and different... can we do embossing next month... bought the tool and its a gathering dust!!!
