My latest trip abroad: Lisbon for Sizzix

I really enjoy travelling, I do not enjoy planning for it though. But lately I have had the chance to travel abroad a few times to demonstrate and teach for Sizzix.

Last weekend I went to Lisbon to teach at Chocolate Quente XL. I love any event organized by the owner Patricia Villa Boas.

You can see all the photos and read all about it here on the Sizzix UK blog.

Technique!

I am afraid I have become one bad blogger, not that I ever was good!
But today, just before Christmas Eve, I wanted to share this year's Christmas card. It is simple but as i lacked inspiration for my own projects (all it is used for my Sizzix job!) I founf that quick and simple is always a good idea.

I used eCAL to design the motif and then I die cut it using the eclips. I am in love with that machine the cut is amazing and the eCAL gives me the freedom to design anything. LOVE it!

December...

Usually when it hits mid November things are quiter for the crafters, but not for the Sizzix designers. A lot of new things in preparation for the new year need to be done in November and December so I am unusually busy for a crafter. But loving it and grateful for it.

But it means that any crafty personal things take back seat, like this blog and my Christmas cards. I am not sure that i will get time to make any!

Wish me luck and energy so I can make them.

Until I have time for personal crafty projects, visit the Sizzix blog.
