"Oh, just new toys for me and the girls" I reply.

What is it you may ask - it's my new Cuttlebug!!! I have been wanting one for FOREVER but I was somehow able to resist the urge. Then a couple weeks ago I saw a really great bundle on HSN so I called my SIL Sandy ( I can blame everything on her, she is an enabler ;-P ) to let her know about the specials they were having. She already has a Cuttlebug but I thought she might like the new embossing folders. Anyway she kept asking if I was going to get it or not and I hadn't quite decided yet and after a while she finally informed me that she had planned on getting me one for my birthday. So I finally broke down and ordered the bundle and she ordered me the new folders for my birthday instead. So now I am a proud Cuttlebug owner! The girls and I finally opened it up yesterday and started playing with it. The girls already have a CuttleKids and I originally thought about getting rid of theirs since I was getting the real deal but now I've decided that we'll keep both, which will be easier with 4 girls playing ;-)

Hopefully the new toy will inspire some new creations - I've been missing scrapping! I've made lots of cards lately, but I started (and nearly finished) two pages mid-June and haven't touched them since - I need to get my mojo back!

So, now I'd love to hear your thoughts - what are your favorite dies or embossing folders to use with the Cuttlebug?

Well, I only have a few since getting mine I have been unemployed so I think I may have the two small ones that came with it and one large folder so I am limited to swirls.
You will love it I'm sure.
Congrats Jena. You're sure to love it. How fun that you got the new embossing folders. Some of those look great.
My favorite embossing folder is the swiss dots. It's so versatile and can add just that extra touch. Have fun with it!
You are going to love your new Cuttlebug!! The brand new folders are great too. Another one that is really versatile and fun to use is called Swiss Dots. If you can get that one I think you will really love using it. Remember you can use any company's dies in the Cuttlebug too. Spellbinders has quite a few good ones and they all work in this machine. Here is a little tip I have. Set aside 2 "B" plates for cutting and mark them with the word cutting and another 2 for Embossing and again mark them. That way you will always have smooth plates when doing your embossing. Have Fun!!
Love your site. Lot's of great inspiration.
