New Addition to my Craft Room

Hi all!! I am back in Switzerland, happy to be back to my craft room again.... and what did I bring back from Singapore with me??? Its the Big Shot Pro!!!! I bought it from the scrapbook store in Singapore. If my dear husband was not going to Singapore to come back with me, I wouldn't have bought it becasue its way too heavy for me to handle, the package weigh 24kg...... it was delivered to my mom's place in the original packaging, the way it came from the state and we checked it in as luggage and of course had to pay import duty at the custom in Switzerland.

This Pro is great, I am glad I bought it, also bought 4 Pro dies to try out and it cuts like butter, so easy. I heard it can cut accucut dies too and accucut has some awesome dies. :D







Now that I am back home, I hope to update my blog more often and hope to scrap more!!!


The first thing I need when I got home was making paperbags. I love to make paperbags album but there was no way I could find paperbags in Switzerland or in Singapore like those I saw on Youtube, some scrappers got from Michaels..... So I made some....... Quite happy with the results, hahahaha!!!! Now I can custom made whatever colors of paperbags to go with my choice of pattern papers.... not bad huh??? :D






Wish all a great weekend and thank you so much for stopping by my humble blog.

Wow, I love that BIg Shot Pro, have been wanting one since Sizzix came out with it. Was it cheaper in Singapore, or was it just that it was there ready to buy? I love your homemade paper bags, will you be sharing how to make them,as I would love to learn?
thanks,
Tammy

Hi Marie!! Thanks and welcome!! :D
Can't wait to see your beautiful project!!

Hi Steff!!(steffogal1), your are always super sweet. Thank you for your wonderful comments as always!!

Hi Aloha Steph!! Yes the Big Shot Pro cuts other sizzix dies and other brands dies as well. It works like the Big Shot, except its much bigger, heavy duty and cuts more dies at 1 go!! :D

Hi Tammy!! I don't know if the Big Shot Pro is cheaper in Singapore but I figured that the shipping cost from the State would cost a bomb based on the weight!!
Thank you for the interest in my paper bags, sure will share once I have everything compiled, will post it here on my blog!! :D

Wish everybody a Beautiful Sunday!!
Love, Connie
