Having a ball with my eCraft

Santa isn’t very good at keeping secrets – he made it kind of obvious that he was bringing me a purple eCraft for Christmas. Hubby has actually played around with the eCraft more than I have, and he finally figured out how to get it to cut out the template from How About Orange to make these cool 3D balls from CB2:

I picked up a big pack of scrapbooking paper at HomeSense, and now I’m having fun making balls :-)

This is the first one I made, so I used colours that aren’t my favourites in case there was a screw-up.

Of course, I had to make one in purple & turquoise :-)

And a beach-inspired ball in blue and light brown.

These balls are so much fun to make, especially now that I don’t have to cut out each of the twelve pieces to make them! Now I need to work on some other projects that I’ve seen. I think I’m going to take a shot at something like this next:

Happy weekend!
