The Gemini is coming to HSN!!

Hello friends!
Great news! The Gemini machine is coming to HSN!! Sara Davies of Crafter's Companion will be there showing you all the amazing things you can do with this machine. I have to confess something, I haven't been blogging much because I got an injury on my right shoulder and hand while doing yard work, yes, I think I worked too hard, and since I have this machine already (Yes, I am very lucky and blessed) I've been suing with no problems, especially no handles, so you can die-cut and emboss without using your hands.

Let me show you a project I made with the Gemini (which includes dies and more when you buy it), I created a couple of cute mini tags! Perfect for special occasions.

What's in your Gemini Machine

More projects coming soon!!
Have a fantastic day!
