Silver Bullet Cutters Forum

You are going to have to pull awfully hard!!! THere are way too many left for me to finish, but I promise to do a few more!!

Lisa is awfully quiet - I think she is working on them!

Yikes, I don't have a hope of finishing them all! Great job Sheri!

Me either Jeannette. I am in awe of Sheri and anyone else who can do that -

I would need a lot more time to finish all of the challenges, even if I hadn't been out of town for 4 days, I wouldn't have had the time to work on many of the challenges. But it is always fun to see what every one comes up with, and to get ideas for future projects.

Me neither, I am so pleased I am not alone!

Wow! That is impressive! No way will I even come close to doing them all.

Okay Dawn, I KNOW you are a busy woman, etc., etc., etc. Buuuuuuuut, we really want to see you do at least ONE challenge. Come on now, you can do it!!!!

Shall I stop working on stuff like tables and mats while I do the challenges????

Yes, you are given a 2 hour reprieve. Please tell me that in 2 hours you can get ONE challenge done! Sure hope no one else gets upset with me, LOL! But we really would love to see you post something in one of the challenges.

two hours, me make something in two hours??? No chance at all, once I decide to start something I become a perfectionist and two days would be more like it

Okay - just remember - I'm your GOOD sister!!! I think you should do whatever you want! And I will say - that if you did my challenge, since you know way more than I do about Inkscape, you would be done in like 20 min. Cut and no problem!

But I think your partners in your group - The should be doing part of it.

LOL It took me 2 days to make 8 of Pennys roses.... too bad there isn't a challenge for that... and I would have gotten one done. But I'm the same way as well, I have a terrible time coming up with ideas, then when I do get one, it takes me forever to decide on the paper I want to use, and then I have to figure out what colors I want to go with it, and search for a shade that will look good. Then it takes me a couple of tries to get my cuts to come out perfectly....then I always manage to tape or glue something in the wrong place and have to start over.. but then, of course, I don't have any more of the paper I started with, and have to start all over from the beginning and think of something else to do, because I can't find the right paper any longer. This crafting stuff is HARD WORK.... and I'm trying to do it for relaxation??? No wonder I don't feel relaxed when I complete something.

LOL - I am SO with you Diane - I love it but it can be really stressful - I am NOT a fast worker. It takes me a day to make a card most times - have to come up with the idea, am I stamping or cutting or both, what colors, what paper, and on and on and on......... but once it's all figured out it's great! LOL

I still can't imagine not having this outlet as the satisfaction when project is done is GREAT!

THAT is SO ME!!!! I have only done 5 projects and I don't think I will get any more done! I have been up since 6:00 a.m. thinking I would do more challenges, but then I get distracted. (Like watching Youtube videos on new ideas, doing a litte straigtening so I can move on to my next project, or searching for one of those things that I know I have but cannot find it!) Right now I need 2 large googly eyes and I knew I had some and checked the place that I keep them and they were not there, then remembered I gave them to my daughter for crafting projects for my grandson, thinking I would NEVER use the BIG ones! So, NOW, I have to run to Joann's where I will find other things that I "need" and my day will be shot!

BUT, I am coming up with new ideas for future challenges! And, I have been playing with the UTEE melting pot! See, distractions get me every time!

I have always wanted to make a shaker card. Thank you Jeannette for posting this challenge! They aren't nearly as hard as I had thought they would be! I do apologize as after I finished the card, I read that the frame paper was supposed to be a print. I should have read the instructions better! Sorry!

Hmm, I'm beginning to think I must be the ugly stepsister!

That is beautiful Shirl - just beautiful!
