So, still a week and a bit until my birthday, but I have already received my present!
It’s the Making Memories Slice Elite Machine! yuhuuu!
They only had it available in pink, but I don’t mind… I matches my dressing gown 
For those of you who have no idea what this is (I had no idea what it was until only a few weeks ago), it’s a die-cutting machine used for scrapbooking and card-making. There are tons and tons of pictures out there on the web, so have a go with google and you’ll be amazed.
So, after spending a little fortune at Hobbycraft (both Jon and myself), I arrived home and opened my present despite my husband’s dismay who thought I would wait until my actual birthday to open it. If only….. Nah, I couldn’t wait I am afraid, so that same afternoon, I made three cards, two of them using the slice machine.
I must say that it was a tiny bit trickier to use than I thought it would be. Especially because I think I still have to learn a bit more about the amounts of glue to use on the glass mat and how often to reapply it. But I suppose it’s just a matter of practice and I will get better with time.
These are the two cards I made with the slice machine:
This is not Jon’s Valentine’s Card… For some friend’s new born baby
There are still a few accessories that I need to get to be able to produce stunning cards all the time. I reckon that if I tried to make a business out of this, it would take me roughly one year of making cards full time to get a return on the investment 
But as Jon says, I will make cards for my own recreation, I don’t necessarily have to try to make money out of them (but if I did, then… result!)
