This was a tile I made for my friend Colleen. I used a dark tile and the winter scene was from the font MarshMallow World which can be found here

It is a cool free font that is all snowflakes and winter scenes.
I did delete a few things from the ding and I added the star in the upper right corner which was from a nativity silhouette which was found online. It was cut from white vinyl with my KNK.
This tile was made with a "pattern" or file that I had purchased. I bought several files at the same time. What I discovered is that they did not all cut as well as they should have. This file I had a problem with the font cutting decent so I changed it and then added the star in the right hand corner.
I have been having a lot of fun cutting vinyl lately so you are going to see a lot of tiles. :O)
I did manage to make a few cards this weekend so I will get them posted soon.
Enjoy what is left of the weekend! We had snow today but it didn't last long.
On Day 163 I posted a picture of an ornament I made for my Granddaughter's First Christmas. When my grandson Gavin saw it he said "Where's mine?" So here it is. :O)
I used the same alcohol ink technique as I did for Hailey's and then I used Chrishmkbold font for Gavin and the opposite side has the year 2009. I added a small snowflake on each side. Hopefully Gavin will approve.
The other day Gavin and I were reading and there was a picture of a macaw. I told him "Grama would love to have a macaw". He told me he would like to have a pigeon. :O)
My daughter and I shopped "Black Friday" today. It was a first for me and it was fun, mainly because I was with my daughter. :O) I get to see her husband and of course my adorable grandkids, but my daughter works long hours so time with her is always special.
Saying all that, it was my son-in-law who inspired this tile. He is the best Daddy and his kids adore him. It is an 8x10 tile, designed in KNK Studio and cut on the KNK. So simple!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I am waiting for the guests to arrive! I hope I have everything ready and didn't forget anything.
At the retreat Sandy had some cute placecards that she had made and she shared the file with us. So it is what I made for our Thanksgiving. I used brown vinyl for the names so that I didn't have to glue on all the putzy letters. I made 30 of them and they went pretty fast. I used the Coordinations paper so I sanded the edges of the pumpkins.
Last Thanksgiving dinner doubled as our son Joshua's funeral dinner. He passed away the Saturday before Thanksgiving. I really don't remember much of it, other than I didn't cook, everyone else did.
As a family we are truly blessed. There is my mom, her 8 children, assorted spouses, both current and ex's still come for the Holidays. There are 16 grandkids and 9.5 great's in the family. In the 59 years since my parents married we only lost my dad and our Josh. We are a family that gets along and who support one another. Our parents did good!
No, it is not a card or a tile! I made this for my husbands snowmobile trailer. It has been on all summer using the Oracal outdoor vinyl and looks like new. It was fun to do and he applied it himself. Tomorrow is Turkey day at our house, should be fun. We will have 4 little ones from 8 months to 3 years and they always make us smile.
This simple card was made doing a scan and trace. I had purchased some note cards at Michaels in the dollar bin that had a leaping reindeer.
I decided to try to duplicate it. Using the scan and trace method in my KNK Studio it was very simple. I cut the reindeer from vinyl and applied it to patterned paper like a sticker.
After having the grandkids 4 out of the last 6 days and being up at 5 am for the past week, I am one tired Grama! I have some neat stuff to show you in the upcoming days so keep watching!
