challenge 1-crafty problems

Journaling : After a long time of not buying any craftstuff I finally succombed and bought a new die for my Big Shot.It proved to be a nightmare as it would not cut properly. I had to pierce out evry single little square from the hearts.That took about 6 minutes and drove me up the wall.The die then got several treatments...it was sprayed with Pledge , rubbed with a candle a new expensive metal adaptor plate to use with it was bought. Still no luck . I then put several layers of aluminium foil on it and through the machine it went again.Then I used a few layers of waxed paper and rotated the die 3 times. Then it worked!! The hoops we have to jump through to make us crafters happy.

I used to go through that when I used little punches, cannot imagine dealing with it on a die machine! Love the journaling and the whole page is fantastic!
 
Oh Ellen, I really like your story here. I love beautiful vintage feel of the page...so perfectly creatig the feel for your story! Beautiful colors!
 
What a time you had!! Glad things worked out!! Your page is beautiful!!
 
Oh yes, I remember having to go through this sort of thing with my old punches - especially those really silly little ones that really shouldn't be used on grown up projects!

Great page - great story.
 
We are crafty crafters if nothing else. When all else fails whip those tools into shape. Great page here - really like the vintage feel.
