Day 269

Not the best picture...sorry. This little bird is something I found and traced. I am thinking of making it larger and putting it on the wall above a door so I decided to cut it card size to see how it looked. The card isn't finished but here is the bird and it is all cut from vinyl.                                      

 We are having some great spring weather. It has been in the 40's  for the past 4 or 5 days. I have managed to take a walk for the past 4 days, the last 2 day taking our Yorkie along with our Weimaraner. Neither dog has ever walked on a leash before. We have 30 acres of land so they can put on a lot of miles chasing bunnies. But they both do great. Lucy, the yorkie is full steam ahead, keeping her leash  taunt. And Amy the Weim still walks at a perfect heel. Today I saw a dozen catapillars even though we still have plenty of snow on the ground. It is so nice living where we have 4 distinct seasons!

Day 268

I take my kids swimming 2 days a week and we have gotten to know some of the life guards. I made tiles for 2 of them that had won a special place in my son Jim's heart. And then one of the other life guards said "What about me?" So I told her to give me her favorite quote and I would make her a tile. This is what she chose. 

Day 267

Something Different. I have wanted to do something with my lap top for a long time. Part of it is scuffed up because of how it sits on the handles of my excercise bike. :O) I wanted to camoflage that. I didn't want anything frilly or cutsie. When I saw this silhouette of the Beatles I knew it was what I wanted. George was my favorite! I was able to save the image and convert it into a KNK cutting file. I used Oracal 631 black. Unfortunately it doesn't cover the scuff mark but I will work on that!

Day 266

Spring arrived today in WI. It was 45 degrees! I took advantage of the warm weather and cleaned and sprayed my mat. I also took our dog for a walk. This may not seem like much but she is 7 and it is the first time I have ever taken her for a walk. :O)
She walked at a perfect heel which is amazing as she is a pretty naughty Weimaraner.
I spent much of my day cutting vinyl...I can't believe how much vinyl I cut. :O) But my two nieces projects are now completely cut. Ya hoo!
I made this card using a file that Linda from my Yahoo group shared. It was an embroidery file made into a KNK file. The thinking of you was cut from vinyl.

Day 265

Just wanted to let you all know I am still alive. I had the grandkids for 2 days and have had a bit of a cold. I just haven't felt very motivated to do anything. :O)  Tomorrow I will hopefully finish cutting the vinyl for my 2 nieces. One wants a tree that is 7 feet tall and 7 feet wide. I had most of it cut and ran out of vinyl so I had to wait for my vinyl to arrive. My other niece wanted a smaller tree and some flowers which should be easy to cut. When it is cut and up I will post pictures.

Day 264

This card is so stunning when you see it in person. I can't remember the origin of the cutting file but I think it was a free silhouette picture that I imported into KNK. I cut it from black vinyl and then put it onto bright colored cardstock. It took a bit to weed this but the transfer and application was pretty simple as it is all one piece. You could do this with black paper and then you wouldn't have to deal with weeding but you would have to deal with glueing.

If you want the file just email me! 

Day 263

March first, spring can't be too far away.

I had bought some baby decals at our $ store and never used them. I also had this paper so I decided to put the decals on the paper and they looked cute. Then I used my KNK to cut "It's a Boy" from blue vinyl and the card was done. Pretty easy!
