WOYWW 112

I haven't managed to pop around the work desks of the world for quite some weeks... but today I thought I just had to show you what arrived this morning... I think the postman was up before breakfast today!
Yesterday was my birthday and on a whim, after struggling to emboss just part of a band of card and not managing to fit it through my Cuttlebug... I ordered this Spellbinders Grand Calibur... and this morning here it is. What fabulous service and FREE p&p too! I bought it from Card Craft UK... brilliant.
Now to have a play!
I was really impressed that there is an embossing mat included in the kit..
What fun!

Have a good day everyone!

    Happy Birthday for yesterday.

    I have come to the conclusion that I might want one of these - and I guess I might have to buy it before my official retirement next month! I just want to used larger shapes sometimes.

    And I think every piece of equipment comes with different advantages, so will love to hear what you think of this.

    A belated happy birthday to you, and what a great way to celebrate - much as I love my Cuttlebug I can see the advantage of the the Grand Calibur. Super swift delivery service too! Have a great week. Elizabeth x #59

    It's really good to see you again. I've wondered how you were doing now that you have a business to take care of. Happy belated birthday. I hope it was great one. Looks like you treated yourself, too.

    Happy belated birthday. Hope you're enjoying your Grand Calibur - I just received mine last week too but it's still in the box. I'm always a little nervous of new things and it takes a while for me to pluck up courage to play properly (I always think I'm going to break it).
