Oh my..did you wonder where I was???

My apologies to my loyal blog readers! It's been a busy few days with Amanda's first day of school and extra curricular activities , and Birthday get togethers! Then…. to top it all off my camera started giving me problems and wouldn't let me download pictures onto my computer!!

Thankfully that's all fixed and I am back up and running!!

Here's my daughter blowing out her candles at her 5th birthday….isn't she adorable!! She had a "Build -a Bear" party on Saturday…notice the build a bear die on the balloon behind her? I had to use this die some where for her party! :) I made a few and put them around the house for decorations.

Another thing that kept me busy…. I spent and evening decorating this cake for her… I am a rookie at this but she liked her cake so that was the main thing.

So now for the card share for today… I would like to share with you a technique I did with my club members this month. I love this! I can't stop making things out of metal!!

Did you know that you can cut thin metal with your big shot dies? This card was made using a recycled pop can!

Scroll down for the tutorial on how to do this.

Here's what you do…. Take an empty pop can and cut the sides and flatten.

Run a piece of the can through the big shot the same as you would a piece of paper of cardstock.

Next take your cut out piece and place it inside an embossing folder and emboss the same as paper…
