Sizzix Eclips

I have just treated myself to a Sizzix Eclips.  I am a novice when it comes to this type of machine but with the help of Sue [playingwithpaper] on the Docrafts forum I am getting there.  She has given me a lot of good pointers with Ecal so I think I need to purchase that as well.  This is my very first card made with the new machine.  White base card with backing paper from my stash. Snowflake border is a memory box die. Merry Christmas was cut with the Eclips and layered onto a white embossed layer and then a red layer.  Plain and Simple but thats what I need right now.

Now that the bowling season has come to an end I really need to update my blog and upload any cards that I have have over the last few months. I hope you have all had a good summer and been busy with all your creations and entering any challenges.  I need to get back into this again as well.  The new bowling season does not start again for me until April next year so I hope to be back in blogging land quite a lot until then.
Happy Crafting everyone and nice to be back.
