Hey Stampers!

Happy Birthday to me! wooo-hooo! Actually I shouldn’t be that excited because that means I’m getting a year older! But I’m excited to show you what my hubby had bought me for my birthday!

Ladies, I want you to meet my new KNK Groove-e! Isn’t he cute!!! It’s a big machine,  but a very powerful one too! I still have my Quikutz Silhouette and I do intend to keep it but not sure for how long.  It was my very first baby machine and it’s so hard to let go……lol!  I {heart} {heart} my new KNK Groove-e it’s so awesome!

I made a video on how it cuts.  So take a look.

So why did I choose a KNK? Well let me tell ya!  At first I wanted a Cricut because it cuts 12×12 paper and the Silhouette doesn’t. But then my hubby told me about this machine and I was so blown away about how fast and how much pressure this machine can cut! Seriously, this machine can cut chipboard. The cutting force is over 800g of force to cut. It can cut any size images with my cutting mat which measures 13 inches wide by 22 inches long.  With my Silhouette I have been having lots of problems cutting thick cardstock like Bazzil and cutting out small images. Going back and forth adjusting the settings and changing the blades worn me out!  I really had enough of that!! I was getting discouraged on how my cut outs were coming out.  But not with my new KNK! I’ve been back to scrapbooking and have made a lot of layouts making flowers, swirls, circle, squares, letters……..the possibilities are endless with this machine.

The best part……..NO CARTRIDGES!!! No buying those expensive $70 and up cartridges.  Don’t get me wrong, I do like the Cricut, but I really don’t see myself buying them.  With the KNK, I can download a lot of FREE downloads.  What’s so cool and amazing about this machine, I can import my Quikutz Silhouette files into the KNK Studio Max software it comes with. I read reviews that you can’t but I certainly have no problems what so ever importing my QK library to my KNK! I’m so super excited about this machine! It’s the best birthday present ever!  Thanks honey!!

So you interested in getting one? Go over to Sandy McCauley website to read a lot more info about this machine and other one’s too.  She is so helpful and will guide you which machine to buy. Just click on her name and it will take you the her website.

Here are some close up pics of my new machine!

Well got to go now, I’m off to do some scrapbook layouts……….got lots of pics to scrapbook!!

Have a good one!
