Cameo Silhouette

      Hey everyone, I went on a mission yesterday to find a cameo silhouette that was affordable, not loving the $299 price tag on the brand new model!! So with the help of my friends and Robyn over at https://lusheswithbrushes.wordpress.com/ I found a sale price on the older model at Michaels for $179!! Woot! I called and they said they had 4 in stock and asked them to put one on hold for me. Then I rushed through my dinner and out the door. When I got to Michaels quickly went to the register to see what they'd put on hold after seeing the newer model on the display above the $179 price tag. I ended up getting the newer model for $179!!!

     Now I just have to figure this thing out! Wish me luck, I tend to have very little patience with things like this and get frustrated very quickly. As per my New Year's resolution I'll be kind to myself and the Cameo and not throw it across the room if I fail the first 15 times I try!!

     If your like me a new to using a Cameo, check out this great tutorial here: https://lusheswithbrushes.wordpress.com/2015/01/01/wood-sign-tutorial/ I'll share my learning process with you all over here and post what tools/videos I find helpful. Thanks for your support!
