You are on my mind

Happy Monday, all.  Wow, what an amazing few days I have had.  Last week my incredible, wonderful roommate came up with an idea to get my silhouette up and running in this tiny space.  So I went to the storage unit, pulled my cameo out and brought it back here to see if it would work and yes, oh my goodness it was a fit.  He had a wooden TV Table and it fits perfectly into my closet and then when I am ready to use the cutter I just pull it out a little and it is ready to go.  The only hang up was I did not have my Silhouette Studio loaded to this laptop.  Sooooooo, I downloaded, got it set up (or I thought I did, lol) there have been so many amazing updates since I last used it, I had to go through and figure out how to use it all over again.  I still have some boning up to do but this weekend I finally got it to work.  I created the card blank using the Cameo and a sheet of their patterned background.  The geranium and leaves were done with my Canon, the scanner for the leaves and then turned them into elements with the Studio Design Software.  There are some great changes and can hardly wait to become proficient with it again.  The card got some layering and some photocorners to the little word block and did some doodling on the white blank area with a fine Sharpie Pen.
Here is a closeup of some of the layering.  We have a gloomy day, perfect for doing some catch up with the software, so that is what I am off to do.  Have a great start to your week, hugs
