Good Morning Bloggers... I thought I would share a couple SVG files today. It is snowy outside and a whole 14 degrees F.. great day to curl up with some SVG files and hot cocoa. I was playing with Cricut Craft Room and the Flower Shoppe Cart and created these 2 SVG files.

Free SVG - Scallop Envelope

2012-02-05T10:22:00.001-05:00

Pin It

Good morning... hope everyone is having a good weekend. ... I've been having fun playing with the Cricut Craftroom, Paintshop Pro and MTC. I figured some other things out... I figured how I can get Imagine images with out the carts.. and no Imagine machine... Not sure if I should be revealing this or not.. But I can still print projects from Imagine carts but have to fussy cut them out myself. That is more than I knew even a month ago. I am pretty computer savvy and did go to school for graphic design. -- putting the pattern printing aside.. I did snag one of the bonus images on one of the carts in the CCR and created a svg file for you today...

Tim Holtz Bird Cage Like Die SVG File

2012-01-31T13:11:00.000-05:00

Good afternoon my blog buddies...

We have beautiful weather today in Pittsburgh Pa.. high of 63 and sunny... totally unlike January weather. Normally we are knee deep in snow. I got luck today and got the day off. I took a vacation day. I got to go on tour with my realty office to view new listings and had a great luncheon with my office. Then I came home a little while ago, started some laundry and now I am playing. Dinner is in my crock pot... fix it and forget it deal LOL. I hope to get some crafting done today. I am working on a junk mini album for a swap on YPP ning group.

Loretta from Your Paper Pantry ning group sent me some die cuts a couple months ago. I don't have the Tim Holtz birdcage die and she sent some to me.. well... I got smart. I scanned the the birdcage, bird and wing. Imported into my PSP and touched it up. The birdcage didn't turn out as well as I hoped but when I imported into MTC I fixed it a little. It is very close to the Tim Holtz version. So, I am offering it to you today. Have a good day everyone!

Sympathy Cards

2012-01-22T13:38:00.000-05:00

Good Afternoon Blogland.... Just making a quick post today. A week ago, two brothers who works with my BF Brian, they lost their mother. So, I made each one a card. Neither one likes much frilly so I kept the cards simple.

The first card I used my ink markers and colored a stamp image and then heat embossed. Then I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment.

The second card I used my small swiss dot border folder for the top and bottom. I stamped a butterfly and colored it with color pencils. Did a swirly design with baby blue liquid pearls and tied on a ribbon.

Santa Secret Swap From YPP

2012-01-21T12:47:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone... I didn't go into the real estate office for my floor time today.. double wami I guess you can say... First, roads are not very good right now. We got a nasty ice and snow storm early this morning. There is probably 2 or 3 inches of ice under an inch of snow. So, I stayed inside today, not that anyone would want to go see houses in this weather anyway.

The second thing is that I have a touch of something. I started with a horrible cough on Thursday that continued into yesterday. Thru the day I started feeling worse and worse. I ran a fever all night. The fever seem to have broken but I am sluggish. I did still manage to clean up the house and getting some laundry done. I want to do some crafting but just don't have the energy.

Anyhow.... while sitting here, wrapped up in my afghan my grandmother made me years ago, I remembered about another orphan video that I shot last month and never got a round to uploading it... I uploaded it today.
Hope you like it... it is not the best... still trying to master the taping thing.

Coffee Sleeve Mini Album Swap

2012-01-14T11:30:00.000-05:00

Good morning blog country... I just uploaded a new video to YouTube. It is an old one from this past fall but just now got around to uploading it. I had to edit it and I didn't like the software that came with my camcorder and for some reason I couldn't load it into my professional editing software. But, I just got a new scanner for my birthday Thursday from my boyfriend and there was software that let me convert the video into a format that I could edit in my software. I have another video that I will do in the next couple days.

Anyhow, this video is of a swap on Mini Album Scraps Ning Group. This is the mini I received from my partner. It was a coffee sleeve swap and the theme was steam punk. Thanks for watching!

Another MS Pine Branch SVG

2012-01-11T19:51:00.000-05:00

Good evening everyone. I was playing around and browsing images again tonight. I found a jpg file that resembled the MS pine branch punch. Played around and came up with another SVG file that is even more like the Martha Stewart punch.

Winter Wonderland Christmas Card

2012-01-05T09:54:00.009-05:00

Good morning and Happy New Year everyone. Hope everyone had a happy and save new year. I am showcasing a card I made. I just finished it up this morning. In fact, I have to apologize for the pic. I was running late and had to take the pic with my phone because I didn't have time to take it with my camera and email it to myself ... almost didn't make it to work on time. I logged in at work with 2 minutes to spare.. whewww.

I am entering this into a few challenges...

I cut the iceskates from an SVG file that I made ( I will upload that probably tomorrow). The skates are similar to the ones on the Winterwoodland Cricut Cart. I used brand new Martha Stewart Glitter Glue I just received (covers the use something new for one of the challenges). I used the glitter glue for the bows on the skates and the blades. It was a pack of like 24 colors.. love love love it. It doesn't clog like my stickles does.

For another challenge I used a few things from my stash. The background paper is old paper scrap from a DCWV paper stack that is about 2 yrs old. The square mat and the scallop circle was cut from scraps also.

Entering this card in the following challenges: (will be updating this as I enter the challenges.)

Christmas Goodies From Mom

2011-12-30T08:15:00.000-05:00

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers! Are you ready for the new year? I am getting there. What are your New Years Resolutions? I have a couple.. give myself at least 15 minutes of crafting each morning before going to work.. plus the traditional loose weight thing. I am also committing to using my treadmill at least 3 times a week starting out at 20 minutes work outs.

I have not done a video in a long time. Here is one I did this morning. It features all the goodies my parents got me for Christmas..... my mother knows me too well....

Some of My Clay Roses

2011-12-01T20:15:00.000-05:00

Good evening. Just thought I would jump on and share with you my clay roses that I make. They are acid free and safe for scrapbooking and card making. I am going to be selling these beauties. I took a couple close ups of the red roses. Not sure if you can see it or not but the leaves and the roses are made with mica clay.. has mica powder in them to give them some shimmer and sparkle. Not all of my clay roses are made with mica clay. Mica clay is only available in a couple colors.

The Large Roses with Leaves are about 30 mm .................. .65 each

Med Roses (ones under the Large Ones) about 24 mm ....... .45 each

Smaller Roses are about 13 mm ............................................ .25 each

I can do custom orders with custom colors.. If you are interested in ordering, send me an email with the what size, color and quantity and I will send you an invoice via paypal. This is how I am doing it until I decide if I want to try to set up a store here on my blog or continue to use Etsy. Shipping will be reasonable. Depending on quantity.. will probably ship first class mail.

Free Christmas Card SVG File

2011-11-19T22:56:00.000-05:00

Good evening... hope you all are enjoying your weekend.. Don't know about you but I am attempting NOT to make my Christmas cards at the last minute this year. Every year I say the same thing but end up making my cards all in a two day span and try to mail them before Christmas Eve. But I did start tonight on some cards. Brian's (my boyfriend) oldest son Trevor (age 11) helped make some cards. I am going to let him give them to his Aunt and Uncle and his Grandparents.. He learned how to use the Cuttlebug. He uses it all by himself. Not only that, he learned how to use clear stamps and stamp his sentiments. Next I will teach him to heat emboss. He had a blast. The first three pictures below is of Trevor's cards.. then comes mine... the one on the Right in the last picture is what I cut from the free svg file at the bottom of this post.

The above 3 are Trevor's Creations. Not too bad for a 11 year old and his first time making Christmas cards. Below is my cards and then my free svg file.

Trevor helped with the one on the left. The one on the right is the one made from my svg file below. The idea for this card and file came from the Christmas Cards Cricut Cartridge that I recreated into an svg file.

Been A While.. Free Rosette SVG Files

2011-11-09T20:52:00.000-05:00

Hello ladies and gents... I know I have been MIA... I have been very busy. As I mentioned before, I am working 2 jobs, managing a house hold, trying to find some kind of time to craft.. but tonight I had a few minutes and had some fun playing with rosettes. I created 2 svg files and actually cut one of them and made a rosette.

Above are 3 pictures of my file that I created to look like one of the rosettes on the new Cricut Cartridge "Ribbons and Rosettes" I am pleased with how it turned out. I cut my file at 1.5" high with the keep proportions lock on. I then used my MS scoreboard and scored every 1/4" and did an accordion fold.

You can download this file by clicking here

.This one was created to look like the EK Success punch. I will probably be making more files soon. You can download this file by clicking here ...

Hope you enjoy the files.... Til next time.... Happy Crafting

Antique Scrapbook

2011-08-14T10:46:00.000-04:00

Good morning fellow bloggers... hope you are having a great weekend.

Yes, 100 yrs ago they did scrap.. not sure what they called it back then but I managed to get my hands on a 100+ yr old scrapbook. My cousin passed a year ago. He was living in my Grandmother's house who passed 6 yrs ago. Anyhow, my mother and my aunt was going through boxes in the house. They came across this scrapbook that my grandmother had. It is believed that oine of her aunts or cousins or something like that put it together. There are articles from the 1880's and 90's.. plus turn of the century articles. It is quite thick. It was made from an old hotel register from the 1800's.. The artwori is breathless as well.

I did a video on the book and it is below.

Hope you enjoy it.
