    I am new to your blog but finding it so inspiring and full of great information. I have a Cuttlebug but have not used it much so depending on you to inspire me to use it more and I am sure this will be the case. I already found a couple of challenges I want to try with what I have but need to get more when I get a job. Thanks again for your inspiration and much needed kick in the pants to use the tool I have.
