I hate my Sizzix. Can you tell I'm about half way done making Morgan's birth announcements? Why did I put myself through this? 42 doesn't sound like that many when you say it, but when it comes down to cutting out 42 edges, 42 frames, 84 of 6 letters because of shadows, then gluing the itty bitty letters to the shadow. I can't wait to be done with this. If it weren't for all the work I've already done I'd just say to hell with it and pay 33 cents each to Walmart to do them.

Oh, Sweetie, I'm sorry. You'll get done with them and be sooo happy about what you did. And everyone will appreciate them, too. Just keep trekking. Don't look at it all at once, just take each step one at a time. Good luck, Sweetie!!

I made Cadence's announcements also, I started them almost 2 weeks before she was born, and didn't finish until around 2 weeks after she was born, lol. It was awsome seeing the finished product though, don't give up!

I'm sure they will be so much better than the stores though!!

Doing crafts is not easy, it takes time and sometimes a headache but once you are done you will be so proud cause you made them.
