Latest and Greatest Toy

Oh My, I was so blessed to have been chosen as the winner on Kandrews Blog for the Cri-Kit Embossing Bundle- WooHoo!!!  It arrived today and I had to set the housework aside for a few minutes (Sandy said it was OK, so it is her fault my house is so dusty right now).  Of course, my first embossed item was a snowman :)  But it was SO lightly embossed it barely showed up :(  I am a trooper if nothing else though, so I tried again, but this time with a wolf (FAR cry from a snowman, LOL) and I was a bit more pleased with the outcome.  I am not sure if I ever stated this, but I am awaiting a loaner Cricut to arrive from PC so that they can do some work on my Pink Baby.  I have never been fully satisfied with the way she cuts, as I have to cut on deepest setting and highest pressure to get a full cut on most items and it should not be this way they say.  So, I contacted them and after replacing the housing, no major difference so they said they would need to ship me a loaner and send mine to get a full check up.  SO, that may be partially why my embossing isn't super noticeable.  I know, on paper it isn't going to be as deep as with the Cuttlebug, but I have seen Penny's Paper Embossed and it is WAY more detailed than mine so I know I can get it better!  However, with that being said, here is a wolf I normally use for vinyl purposes but I just wanted to try it out embossed.  I played with my Cat's Eye Ink thingies and had fun letting some frustrations out, as the card base is actually a green color, LOL  I used some MS Sterling Embossing Powder to highlight the wolf, and of course here and there around it as well, but that part wasn't intentional- LOL *Hugs*
