Happy Mail today!

Hi everyone...... yayyy!!! its finally friday night and tomorrow is the weekend :0) Today, I wanted to share with you something that I purchased from provocraft last week.   If you recall my last post on Cuttlekids Machine, so its finally here and my son couldn't be more happier.
Scroll below for products review.

Here is his new machine....



Since my son just started kindergarden and he loves anything school, he picked out this 4 pack School Days die. I'm sure you will be seeing some of his projects too.



Product review: 

The positives- the machine itself its really really cute for kids. The die are also cute. 
The Negatives - At first we used paper and even with that it was a really hard to press the paper through and if that was easy we tried self-stick foam...... well let's just say it wasn't easy either but at the end it pretty nice to have something for the kids to craft along.  

So for me I purchase the cricut cartridge binder which I really was looking forward to it, since I will be attending crops and retreats this is a great way for us crafter to store our cartridges in a safe dry place. :0) there is also another binder that provocraft offers but I like this green one better so it matchs my machine.

My Product review: when I first opened the box I was like holy COW its huge.... but then after some minutes it kinda made to be so big.  It needs to fit 12 cartridges plus the keyboard and the books. Off course it needs to be huge.


Here is the opened empty binder. 


and here is with my cartridges, I actually fit all my cartridges, which are 10 full cartridges plus 2 lite. 
I did not include my CTMH cartridge. I do plan to purchase another binder and then organize my cartridges.  




I hope you like my product review and I hope I convinced you on purchasing your own. I sure love the colors. :0) Have a great everyone.... tomorrow I have a CTMH Art Philosophy class  can't wait to show you all the projects I made with this wonderful cartridge.... but because I love my readers so much here is a sneak peek..... oh yeah by the way... I will be doing a giveaway soon on my blog, so stay tune.
This is 1 out of 700 images that you can cut with this cartridge. If you are interested on purchasing it please visit my website....

Cuttlekids Machine

Hi everyone, I can't believe its friday already. Finally my mom is flying in tomorrow. She went on vacation and she's been stuck in Lisbon (Portugal) since we had the storm last week. There hasn't been any available seats for her to come back.  :(  So today I don't have any crafts projects to share but it is crafty.  I purchased my Cuttlebug about 2 months ago and I absolutely love it and so does my son. So after a few many "mommy can I have my own cricut"... I finally purchase this adorable machine for him today.  It is deft not expensive... at all and I also got a few die cut folders for him... He is going to love it.  I will deft review this product and since I haven't found any reviews on this yet.. not through cricut.com I haven't. Anyways I also purchased the Pack School Die since he wanted to do something for his teacher when he starts school next week. 





I hope you enjoy my post. 
Have a great day.
