The “Dark Side”

Well,  not long after I posted how I was contemplating SCAL I did it! I took the plunge downloaded it and not long after watching a few video’s hooked it up to my beloved Miss Cricut. She cut a few things last night and is still alive!! I think I am going to like the dark side! I like that if I don’t have a particular cut on a cartridge I will be able to find it *hopefully* as a svg file. Now to bring my fellow Cricut users over to this side with me!

The layout I am posting today is from the WSB dt challegne 19! It was a themed challege using the letter S. I waited until a few days ago to get started and finsihed a few minutes ago. I was looking for a bathing suit cut to use not sure why I wanted it on this page but whatever! I did not find one so I made one copying the one from Life’s a Beach. The only problem I had was with the neck peice, so I used the egg from Doodlecharms! And the font, is one that I LOVE but have not used in a while Mickey Mouse font.

If you would like a copy of the ds file for the bathing suit leave me a comment with your email address and I will send it to you!

Have a great week!

Sure Cuts A Lot

I have spent the majority of my Cricut owning life totally agianst this program. Well tonight I was given the opportunity to have and use it. Thanks Boy Scrap’r! I was and still very unsure if I want to use this program that is until I came across a few You Tube video’s from www.svgcuts.com,  and the FREE svg files they offer that I thought about crossing over to the dark side.  Do you have SCAL?? Do you like it??

A manly card!

So, I finished my latest card! It was a WSB design team challenge! I had a  good time making this, since I was going out of my element making something that is not girly.

Be sure to check out the WSB blog to see the newest design team members!

Testing

So,  my brother told me about this windows live writer program, that he downloaded for me tonight. What it is, is a program that links to your blog and you can upload your post from there. I am going to give it a try and see how I like it. I’m thinking I will like it, since I can just open this up, type and upload!  As for the picture its just a random one I took of Julia last weekend, and wanted to upload to test out the program.

Layout

Here is a layout I did for the last Whimsical Bugs challenge. The paper I used is from a Close to my Heart paper pack. THe wording, and cuts are from lyrical letters, and the scallops are from accent essentials. I liked this challenge, it gave me a chance to use pictures that I normally would not use on a layout. But since it was about WHy I scrap, I found it fit to use pictures of our everyday lives. Have you used the new Lyrical Letters cricut cartridge?? I LOVE it! It is my new go to cartridge!

So, Why do you Scrap??

Cards

I would love to say that I have been so so busy scrapping away that I have had not had the time to blog, but the truth is......I have been clipping and printing coupons! Strange huh, well it has been saving me of money! I have been working on a few layouts, and tearing apart a few layouts that I was not happy with. Late last night, I made 3 card with 1 8x8 , and 1 8.5x11 sheets of paper. I made 2 of them for my dd's MDO teachers, the other I made just because I was on a roll! I also worked on my Whimsical Bugs Challenge for this week, for that I made a birthday card for my mom. I liked the colors we had to use Brown, Red, Yellow, Tuquorise, and White.
So, thats all for now. Hopefully I can try and blog more often. Have a great Memorial weekend!

OMG! It's May!!

Wow! I can't belive it's May already, where did the days go??
