Christmas is coming ...

Hi Everyone, alittle over a week-ago I posted on the Cricutlovers group for someone to help me with a tag that I had made using my Design Studio and Plantin cartridge, and due to an unfortunate accident (I broke my tibia bone in my ankle and have been home bound, upstairs bound, no stairs in other words for about 4-6 weeks. ) Any how, I had one of those 4 in the morning, gotta make it creative spurts and I made a cut file for a Christmas tag, but since my DS was upstairs on my computer, that my Wonderful hubby brought upstairs for me so that I would not be bored, and my Cricut which was downstairs (wouldn't fit on my table with my computer) I could not cut it. I got 2 Wonderful ladies saying that they would give it a shot. I gave them what I was invisioning, and the cut file and let them know that they could cut it to their vision once they saw the cut file. The first gal, Cathy Smith, for some reason could not open the file. Said something about the time and date not being valid. (I remember this being discussed on the group but I dont remember what the fix was, so unfortunately I could not help her with that. But I thank her very much for trying. Huge Hugs going her way.

Another Great gal did also reply and her name is Deanna Mulder. She was able to open up the file. Even though she did not cut it in the colors that I had imagined, she did cut it in the way that she saw it when she saw the cut file. And I am so VERY Glad that she did. Because I would never have thought of it. I will be sending her a little gift of appreciation when I am able to get it finished and mailed to her. This was a First for both of us. She told me that she doesn't normally cut other peoples cuts, and it was a First for me too, as I dont usually ask for help. But I wanted to see it cut so bad. :o) and she did a Beautiful job. Proud is not really the word that I am looking for it works though, and very Thankful as well for her stepping up and doing this for me when I couldn't. So Thank You Deanna I don't know how to say it enough. I love the job you did. Of course the picture is above, I love it too.

Oh and of course you may want to take alook at some of the other work that Deanna does she has a Wonderful Blog and you can find it Here

You may find the Cut File Here with the wonderful tag cut by Deanna.

Thanks so much Deanna.

Hugs and God Bless

My In-Laws 50th Wedding Anniversary is... and a .Cut file share

9-9-09 and this is the card that I made for them. Though this is not the Exact card even though it is made out of the same papers and everything. I had to show you the picture so I made another one. Now I just need to keep it nice until next year and I can give this one to my own parents, as it is there 50th Wedding Anniversary next year. I love how it turned out, and it turned out Right the first time. Which Almost Never happens for me. So I was quite happy with myself.
I have been so busy with work/school lately and keeping my daughter on track that I have not been able to come this way hardly at all as I am just collapsing by the time I get home from work. I have been losing weight as the food that we get to eat is Very healthy for a change and I am Constantly on the go. Which is why I am crashing then when I get home. But I am having fun this year and it is a great group of people to work with and the Kids or I should say Students are great too to work with.
I am also sharing the file with you, hope some of you might be able to use it.
Here is the link.
Happy Cricut-ing...
Hugs and God Bless

I am Back from Vacation

My vacation was a Blast, went to Northern Minnesota and spent time with my cousins and one of my sisters at my cousins familys cabins on Cotton Lake, near Detroit Lakes MN. It was cold and rained alot, but we did get in alot of Relaxing time in, and Fun time. Oh and one of the Best parts is that it was Only us Girls.
My daughter caught herself a Fish, a Sunny, so I am in the process of making her a Fish Board book, and I will post when it is done.
I am also in the process of making some Boxes and Bag toppers and will get those uploaded when I figure them out.
Oh and I am back to work/school again now so wont be around as much as I was all summer but will post when I can.

The not so exciting stuff, is my family all has a summer cold and it is beating me to the ground, Not fun, when it happens right before we go on Vacation! But even so I am so Very excited because I have not been up to my Cousins cabin in Northern Minnesota up by Detroit Lakes in almost 18 years. They have no TV which will be a Great thing for my daughter and nieces, but so many other things to do. Ok so that was not so exciting mixed with Exciting...

On to some more Exciting stuff, I have been very Busy creating and then converting some of my creations, (mostly my old digi scrapping templates that I made a couple years ago) into SVG files for you. Also been Quite busy getting images and converting them to svgs for you, so keep on coming back and checking for more Free SVGS for you to use in SCAL.

From Digi to Paper -Free SVG file too...

From Digi to paper that is the way that I started scrapping way back when... Well I had one of those all day all nighters again last night, when I thought that I was tired enough to get some sleep I went upstairs and was wide awake again... so back down to my drawing board, which is my mouse, computer and PSP8. Then after having watched a Tutorial on ScrappyDew.com I was able to take my digi to inkskape and make this wonderful little girl.. I have 1 to share with you now, more to come later.

Here is the link. Please let me know what you think, either here or email me.

Hugs and God Bless
