Day 665

My grandson loves angry birds. I went in search of angry bird files and found SVG's free on www.theladywolf.blogspot.com. If you have a KNK and do not have MTC you can download Inkscape for free, import the SVG into inkscape, save it as an EPS and then import the EPS into KNK. Sounds like a lot of steps but it goes fast and so worth it for a free file. My nephew is having a Birthday on the 9th. Now mind you, he is going to be 36, but hopefully he will like this card. :O)  The black background for the bird is textured paper, the rest is vinyl. I love using vinyl because there is no gluing little pieces! But it would work just as well using all paper.

The site above has many other files like Hello Kitty, Max and Ruby, check it out. If you need help converting just let me know.

Day 643

I made these Halloween masks with a cut file from Lettering Delights. They are over 8 inches tall, perfect for a child. I bought some elastic string to use to hold them on...now I just need to figure out where I put it. :O) The holes on the masks are big for elastic string so on the werewolf I made them smaller. The skeleton is paper with a black vinyl face, the werewolf is paper with black vinyl for the inside ears, the nose, and the mouth. There is white vinyl for the eyes and teeth. It took just minutes to make them.

Day 614

So simple, so sweet! The Love and heart I think were part of a free font. I cut them from vinyl using my Klic N Kut, applied it to some white colorbok paper and matted it with red coredinations.

Day 591

Not sure how much I like this card. The hearts and words are vinyl, the font is Passion Conflict robo. The rhinestones were just to add some bling.

Day 571

The girl on this card was cut from vinyl using a font. I really don't remember the name of the font but it was all silhouettes in formalware. A very simple card!

Day 554

I maybe should have used this as my April Fools Day card. It is either early or late. :O) I saw this card on line. Someone had made it using cricut files...I think that is what it was. Anyhow I had to try it. The black is vinyl, the orance cardstock. It was very easy to cut, weed, and transfer.

Day 526

I made this card for my husband for Valentines Day.
The red is vinyl, the white and blck textured paper. 
Simple but says it all. :O) 

Day 484

 So this is what I did with Dora, :O) The left is the front of the card, the right the inside. I made 7 cards, one for the 2 grandkids and 5 for the greatnieces and nephews who are at an age where they appreciate Dora.

Day 481

My nephew just became a first time dad to Olivia Elizabeth. I couldn't resist making her this. The font is a 2 Peas font, but it took a fair amount of editing. I am not sure why so many of their fonts are "sloppy". The oval is 13x11.

Day 434

My great niece Allison Rose is 4 today. She is the youngest of 3 girls in her family. Happy Birthday Ally!
The card was made using a party hat file that I found somewhere free. I made the hat into a sidefold card. The name and number are cut from vinyl.

Day 419

I was trying to figure out what the strange lines are on these cards and it is a date stamp. Not sure how that got turned on. I am also  not sure of the designer of this file, I think Chris Durnan. I decided to try a few Christmas cards and hopefully I will find one that I fall in love with. We send out over 100 cards so it isn't somthing I do in a day. Everything was cut from vinyl and applied to cardstock.

Day 416

Today is the Birth date of several of my friends and also my niece Anne...Happy Birthday Anne!
One of the group turned 60 today so I made her a special card. Not sure where I got the Groovy file from, but I didn't create that part. It was all cut from vinyl.
Today my oldest daughter Jodie and her two little ones and my eldest son Jim and youngest daughter Tashja all went to a petting zoo/farm. It was a beautiful day and the kids had so much fun. Every animal was touchable, most of them the kids went into the pens with them. They had a 900+ pound pig and a mama pig that had 14 babies.

Day 415

Today is a good day to remember hugs and kisses. Like most people, it is a day I will never forget. Many of the service men protecting our country were only 9 years old on 9/11.

This is another file from Brittany. I used vinyl for the lettering. I tend to use vinyl 95% of the time for lettering because it avoids the mess with glue. I have a "vinyl friend" and we often order vinyl together. We will get 10 yard rolls and then split them so we get to have lots of colors for 1/2 the price. And for most colors 5 yards goes a long ways.

I am sure my daughter will find some pictures of Hailey Grace to put on this page. :O)

Day 398

I saw this saying somewhere and liked it and thought it would make a nice tile. So here it is. It was designed in KNK studio, cut on the KNK from black vinyl, and applied to a tile.

Day 378

This card was made using paper from LaCreme matstack and vinyl. It doesn't get much easier!

Day 372

It has been one of those weeks. First, my car started acting up. It is 13 years old, so maybe it thinks it has a right to act up, but I need to decide what I want to get next before it can rest in peace. :O). My husband thinks it was just a case of dirty battery cables, I think there is more to the story. Time will tell. Then, my laptop decided it didn't appreciate the attempted repair my computer guy did and I had to take it back to be fixed. THEN, a long awaited appointment got cancelled and we have to wait another 2 weeks. And then, yesterday I came home from running a few errands and there was a strange noise. Turns out something broke in my washer during the spin cycle and it was trying to spin but couldn't. It is 8 years old and has done many loads but 18 months ago we got some major part replaced and the repair man said that nothing else could go wrong. BUT, the good news is, my KNK  still works. :O) Maybe I should knock on wood. 

Today's project was a journal from Michael's dollar bin personalized with vinyl. It doesn't get much easier than that. 

DaY 346

Happy Father's Day!                                                     This is a tile that I made recently. The heart is from Mamaw's Legacy I think and the wording was done in KNK studio. It was cut from vinyl using my KNK Maxx!

Day 344

Isn't he the cutest little guy? I cut him from vinyl for a card and decided to cut another to put above the window in my room. He just cheers me up!

Day 303

Today I had 2 projects. One was to make a tile for my sister's in laws who will be celebrating their 50th. I also put together a bag of about 20 handmade cards for them. They are wonderful people!
 The second was to help where needed on our garage. By noon my husband and brother had the walls up. The rest of the day was spent framing in the windows and getting the walls ready for the steel. It is now ready for the trusses which someone else will do because it requires a crane. It's pretty cool!

Day 299

A long time ago I had bought a pad that had 20 A2 cards, of course they were on sale. Now my mission is to use them. I actually bought 4 of them, each with a different variety of patterns. For this card all I did was cut the Happy Birthday from vinyl and apply it to the front of the card. When I cut words from Vinyl I will usually cut a half dozen and that way I have some on hand rather than havving to cut each time I make a card.
