Scrapbooking and Crafting Friends Design Team


 Hello Crafty Ones, I hope you are all having a great day. Today is my first official post for the Scrapbook and Friends DT...We were given some amazing files to work with in the form of Digi STamps, and back ground papers. Well being not to smart on how to digi scrap I decided to stamp the stamps and turn them into cut files.. The digi set was designed by Revidevi from My graphico..HERE
My project this time was another altered canvas, this one is a Birthday gift...
Anyway, I turned the digi stamps into cut files and used them as die cuts on my canvas...
You can find out more about the canvas and instructions  HERE I hope you give them a look...

Big News, Happy News.....


 Hello crafty ones, hope you are having a great week...It has been a bit crazy here..As it started to rain, then went to freezing drizzle, then turned to snow on Tuesday night, and has just stopped about 1AM this morning, and we again have almost 2 feet of new snow. Just last week we had 50 degrees, seen green grass and 98% of our winter had been melted away. So back to a deep freeze with again temps in the teens. But even that can not dampen my excitement.
We all are very dedicated in what we do, and we all have an end goal. We also take great pride in the things we do, we are willing to help when needed, and share what we have learned. And I am proud to be a part of a community or group of people like this. Be it a scrapbooking forum, a blogging group, or just a new friend we have made.
I love being a part of Melin's group and being on her D.T. with such amazing ladies. And hope to continue here for a long time any way I can.
But I am also going to be joining the  Scrapbooking & Crafting Friends Design Team...You can find them here... It is going to be quite a challenge for me, as they work very little with cut files, but more so with digi stamps and digi kits of papers and things. SO I have proudly taken on that challenge. And am now a part of their team. I am looking forward to learning and creating with another scrapbooking tool. SO I hope you digi scrappers give em a look...Have a great day

It again allows me to spread my wings, and create things I never thought were possible. SO a big thank you to all the blogs, and stores that allow us the ability to express ourselves. Thank you.. I am going to compile a list of my favorite spots to get these files. So check back soon....

Cricut Made hall of shame for copyright and trademark abusers



To see the actual page, email me for link...or do a search on it


 It really is a sad sad thing, that this is happening, to those of you who have emailed me, I have answered each to the best of my ability, I do love my machine, and it is not the machine's fault, I am just choosing to go with a machine and a company who support the fact I may have my oen creative process and want to explore that outside of the PC family. Makers of other machines embrace these 3rd party softwares and it makes good business to all involved. I will continur to use my machine untill I am able to purchase a new machine.... If you still would like my files I will gladly pass them on, just be aware there are not going to be new ones. Still there are over 300 so plenty of them to go around. I just want the ability to make my own decisions as to what I can and can not do with the products I have purchased.
MTC or SCAL users do not have the ability to cut cartridge based images, there are no steeling of any images, and as the rest of you we do not have the ability to cut from a cartridge that we do not own even with 1 of these programs, so whoever is telling you this is in fact a liar. The link I have included is pretty interesting reading regarding Trademark and Copyright abusers and whats allowed and not allowed. And just how PC themselves are breaking the rules to benefit them. So I understand your concern and sympathize with you, I just choose to use a machine I purchase the way I want to...I really am sorry for those PC users that are not taking the time to really find out what these 3rd party software makers have given us the ability to do. And as I stated before, my purchases have not stopped with PC I have still continued to buy cartridges, mats, blades and was going to buy the E2. But thats has changed, it is still my right to what I please and spend my money how I want to. I am in fact very sad that PC has not embraced these companies like every other maker of desk top cutters have done. Since this has happened they can't keep machines in stock.  Sad really PC will not take the time to listen to their customers and what they want. So if you are again coming here to bash me, go ahead, I can take it, I am just really sad that no ones really bothered to ask before the beat down...This is hopfully my last post on this...It is time to move on in whatever direction each of has chosen. If you want to stay loyal, that is your choice, I hold it against no one. We all have to decide for ourselves. With that said I hope everyone has a great weekend and goes back to creating....

Announcement from Andy and Ann, MTC creators

 Announcement From Andy and Ann......
As you may be aware, Provocraft, the makers of the Cricut brand cutting machines, had a lawsuit against Andy, the man who developed the Make the Cut! Software. The lawsuit was recently settled, and Andy has now posted this statement:

"Effective immediately Make The Cut! will no longer be compatible with the Cricut"

Now that I have said that...

We will continue to support:
Anything that has nothing to do with Provo Craft and Novelty, Inc.

This includes, but is not limited to:

* Black Cat Cougar and Lynx
* Boss Kut Gazelle
* USCutters MH/LaserPoint Series
* Craftwell eCraft
* Any cutter machines that support HPGL printing (Craft ROBO, Silhouette, etc)
* And many more to come in the near future :)

Thank you all for all your support in these times of absolute uncertainty.

Sincerely with much respect,
Ann, Andy and family


If you use Make the Cut with your Cricut and you wish to continue to do so, it is very important that you do not update your Make the Cut! software. Any updates that are done now will be without the Cricut drivers. If you do not update, you will still be able to use your current version of Make the Cut with your Cricut. It is unfortunate, however Make the Cut! is such a great program already you're still ahead of the game.

If you own one of the other cutters listed, you are in luck as other companies have been working with Andy to make sure Make the Cut! is compatible.
There is a list of compatible cutters HERE

Cricut VS. Crafters

Wow, I am sure like myself many of you have been following this law suit with Cricut and SCAL and MTC. Or perhaps you have heard about it on another board or blog. Cricut and MTC have settled and effective immediately, Cricut has again taken away options from the consumer.
I personally have enjoyed my C***** products, but I have to say PC has put myself and alot of others in a bind, taking away my rights as a consumer. Since my purchase of MTC I have personally not stopped my cartridge purchases, and have even increased my mat and blade purchases, and since I loved and used my DS all the time I was able to increase what I can achieve as a crafter. but PC does not want that. They want us all to stay with them exclusive, threaten voided warranties, and such, I wonder if the cuttlebug warranty voids if we use sizzix, or spellbinders? or the new Darice emboss folders they are promoting on the C message boards...You can't have your cake and eat it to. I will be using my PC product untill my new machine arrives. I have so many mixed feelings about this, like so many of us do. I am including some links for you all and one of them is pretty interesting reading regarding copyrights and trademarks, and it seems a lot of big companies use that to scare us little crafters, I am sure you all will love this article.
For those of you with the CriCrap machine, if you do not update your firmware, or MTC program everything will remain the same for you at this time anyway, the new MTC is not going to support the cricrap, butif you check the MTC message board there is a list of machines there.
There are a select few over on that message board that are the choosen, they are the ones being lavished with the products, and you can bet as long as the payout holds out so will their loyality.
I am choosing to not give them anymore of my hard earned money, and you all have to make your decisions. I am not saying dump everything at a loss, it is not the machines fault, but I wont purchase anything else with their name, cartridges, nothing...And when my machine dies a new cougar will gladly take its place. You may vice your opinions concerns, or comments, but if you are in support of cricrap do not come here..This is my opinion, and my right. I will also continue to give help and support where needed. SO untill my machine takes a dive I will love the machine but hate the company and what it stands for.
here are the links you all as crafters should read

Altered 8x8 Scrapbook album

Another 8x8 scrapbook I re-did, all they have to do is add there own scrapped pages... I really like making these albums, there are so many possibilities when doing these, it is hard to stay focused on just one at a time...And the perfect size for beginners, not to big and overwhelming, or perfect when there are not alot of photos....

Just a thought, and a challenge.....

 Hello crafty ones, this is shaping up to be quite a week...A week of ups and downs....
First of all I had a friend or mine come to buy a few Sizzix dies, and I was actually impressed because way back when I started out I would see a new product and think, boy i want that, look at what it can do. So I bought the product, and then others followed, and it continued into a snowball of a quite massive size. I think we all buy things with good intentions of using them. But some where some become more of Die or stamp or paper or whatever collectors, and less of actually using the product. I am so guilty of that.
I started out with Sizzix, and it fast became where I wanted it all even if I did not use it. I had to have the whole sets, of everything, and then it just accumulated. I have literally thousands upon thousands of dies, probally 75 font sets the embossing folders, I have a lot of stuff!.. I still use my dies, and love my dies, do use them as much as I should...no! Some I have never used. What impressed me the most was Elizabeth said to me, wow, this is a lot, but I want to get dies that I will use more than once, and that work with the other's I have. She is so far ahead of most beginner crafters.
I really do have a lot of product I will never use, and the dies I will never part with, well the doubles I will part with..
So here's a challenge to all of you who know exactly what I am talking about...
Take a set of dies, or stamps, or a cartridge, and use the same images in a minimum of 2 different projects...The winner will receive a special gift from me...
So I am choosing to use my Sizzix dies...
the Train and the wagon as my base pieces....And as you see I made a 3x12" Easter border for a scrapbook page..


So check back later to see what else can be made with these 2 dies.... and add your link....

Cooking With Cricut, Challenge

Hello Crafty ones, I apologize for posting a bit late.. this week's challenge was to do a project representing Spring forward, and to use a time piece of some sort....so this is a plain old 8x8 scrapbook from the craft store that I altered the front and back and cover.  Cartridges used is Base camp, Graphically Speaking, Home Decor.... Added some lace, some stamping, inchies, embossing, and it looks not like a store bought album.  The possibilities are endless...Have a great day everyone, we again are in the grip of a snow storm and I am not sure how long the power is going to stay on....

Here come's trouble, Luke

Just a quick little project, this is a 8x8 album you buy from H.L. they come with plain old red or green covers, so being a person who can never leave well enough alone I just did a bit of tweaking. The Craft Shows are starting soon, and I sell tons of these, I usually go buy everything they have, and do them all with different themes. This one is for my friend and her Son, who is to say the least a HANDFUL! Sorry Mindy, but when you look up the definition of trouble, there is a picture of your Luke....lol, Have a great day crafty ones

A tribute to Bogie


I feel like the saddest person around today. I was informed by my Friend and her husnabd that this day was the day their beloved yellow Lab, Bogie had to be put to sleep. He(Bogie) had been ill for awhile,  but would get better, and go back and forth like that, but today was the day the good Lord choose to have him come home.
Know Bogie, was a local celebrity ha was on planets funniest animals, and the star at the golf course my friends own. He was always entertaining the golfers, their kids, and himself.  If things slowed down a bit he would go catch himself a huge fish from the river that runs parallel to the golf course, nuzzled the kids, played catch. He was the Icon at the Golf Course.
When we choose to love animals, and let them into our lives, we are setting our self up for heart ache, as we know they do not live as long as we do. And yet we take that chance and open our hearts to their love. I am thankful that we do. What would life be like without our beloved pets?  Mine would personally be empty.
This is going to be very hard for my friend and her husband, as Bogie was with them 24/7 literally. As hard as it is to go on, we each find a way. So Dan, Sandy, you know I love you both, and Bogie was like my own. I hope you can find peace knowing he is safe, and pain free, playing on the bridge. I made this memorial for you to hang where ever you like. It is from my heart to yours....
This is a canvas I made for hanging on the wall...
1....Start with a canvas whatever size you wish to use, now you can prime it with Gesso, or you may leave it as it is, most them are primed and ready for paint.
2....Gather acrylic paints to match the photos.
3....Assorted brushes
4....Files for flowers, and the title
5....Stickles
6....Cricut, 50 states cartridge, Home Accents cartridge, Home Decor Cartridge
7....MTC files for title, and rolled roses, (small)
8....Strong adhesives
9....Embellishments and whatever else you may want to use...
Start by painting the canvas, once you have it the way you want it, let it dry....While this is drying you may start cutting and making flowers, titles, and other embellishments.
Once you have everything the way you like it, make your master piece however you like. If you would the cut files please leave a comment and an email so I know where to send them.
And Dan and Sandy, my thoughts and prayers are with you....

Just a thought .....Free Files



 Hello everyone, I have been receiving emails from a few different bloggers and followers. All asking about free cutting files. The only way for me to get you all the files you wish to have is to make a list...So in the comment field, leave your name, email, and what types of files you are looking for, and the file type. The files I have available to you are...GSD/SVG/MTC/DESIGN STUDIO/GYPSY... Most cutters can import SVG's so that may be the most popular. I am also compiling a list of the files I have on hand and that I am able to share, also making a list of other places where you can get files.  So please be patient, and in the comment section leave me your lists.
And for those of you with the cricut, if you do not design studio, you can still download the software, and have every feature available to you as the paid version, except it will not cut. But you can see images from every cartridge, and remember to think outside the box when creating your own files. Here is a great link to some amazing flower tuts that are easy-peasy to make and a lot of fun I might add, as well as addicting. HERE FLOWER TUTS 
For those of you with the Gypsy, well know how amazing the design features are on there. So make your lists and leave em in the comment field...

Cooking with cricut challenge Double Take.


Good Morning crafty ones, so today is the CWC challenge day. And the challenge was to use 2 pattern papers and 2 embellishments. So with the challenge being all about 2's I thought why not...
Seeing I love and adore my 2 yellow labs, and there are 2 of them, and challenge is about 2's..How could I resist in showing off the 2 biggest babies in the world. Both studs, both around 80+ pounds, and both full brothers. They are the sweetest, kindest, most gentle dogs. And always give that look. They do everything together, and always have to be touching..SO my layout this week for the challenge is of my pampered pooches, Ryder, and Rookie

The papers are from the DCWV pet stack, the paws, and dots. As you can see the embellishments are water/food bowls as flower centers, and even fire hydrants.. More hand made flowers. I think I have a sick obsession  for flower making. Just added their names and 2 little paper piecings.
Don't forget to check out the other Design Team member's blog's.
Cooking with Cricut Blog HERE
And the CWC store where you can find all of Melin's cutting files and Digi stamps  HERE And if you would like tons of Tutorials for beautiful flowers and other projects, check out more of Melin's hard work HERE

Have a great day everyone....

What a week............


 I know I am not the only one who those days just seem to never end...
We had that large snow storm on sunday and monday last week, just when the green grass was peeking through. So that was ever so sad, my computer was still not fixed, and to top that off my husband came home from work  and said he had thrown his back out. He could hardly even move, so that left me with all the 13" of snow to move. Then on Tuesday morning I got a frantic call from my friend where I board my horse, Ms Kitty, and she said she was sick was has a BAD case of colic, colic is like a twisted stomach, and at least half the time can be fatal, so I was on barn duty, nursing a sick mare back to health. As I was sitting in the barn praying for things to get better, I decided to put in a thank you, as the back injury could have been way worse, and I easily could have lost my dear Ms Kitty. SO I was thankful in having the chance to save 1 of  my most prized possessions. I have had so many great times with Ms Kitty, and we have been through a lot together. I would be lost without that loving face and big heart to love. So I am happy to say, she has pulled through, and is going to be fine. So I thought I would share some photo's of Ms Kitty with everyone.
Ms Kitty is an Overo Paint mare, and is the most quiet, sweet and loving horse. She has more personality than most people, and loves Chocolate muffins.
She will even allow you to dress her up and put on lip gloss, earrings, clip on of course, she wears ball caps, bandanas, and what ever else one wants to try on a horse...
She is amazing when we go to jack pots and other rodeo events. Can normally find her tied to the trailer sleeping or begging food off the people passing by..

This is Kitty's best friend, Cowgirl...She is a grey Quarter Horse..These 2 go and do everything together..Both are amazing.
As you can see here, I have something hanging from my mouth, well it is Kitty's Pixy Stick, those little tubes of sugar. She loves them, and after each new completed task, she gets her pixy treat...
Then there's the times, when she is stubborn as a mule. And decides it is too hot and she can not possibly take another step. So I end up waiting on her to decide it's not so bad. I am in such hurry for Spring to get here, there's nothing better than the smell of a horse and leather, well I guess if you like that sort of thing. Looking forward to a quiet week this week. Fingers crossed

I am almost there..And the winner is ???

As you may or may not know, I was infected with a horrible virus, the technicians said that usually when a computer is damaged that badly there is no saving it, but they did a wonderful job by remote access, and fixed me up good as new. And I did not loose anything. I was ever so happy. But being down and out of the loop for 13 days has me really far behind, and trying to desperately play catch up. Well I am almost caught up... Know it is time to get back on track and not look back.
Those of you who have won files during the blog hop, you will be getting an email from me shortly.
Thank you all very much

An honor to recieve and pass on..

Wow, what a great surprise, I feel so blessed to have such beautiful online friends..
Jen, my dear Cooking with Cricut Design Team member has ever so graciously awarded me this award. Jen is such a talented paper artist, and a wonderful person, I am blown away be her talents, her spirit, and Jen's gift to give in any way she can. Thank you my friend...
This award was created by Grace at Gracenotes for Today.  She decided to create an award for the special sites which, in her opinion, have it ALL together. Not only are their projects great, but the blog owner has taken the time to make sure the overall blog design is good. This includes spelling, layout, color scheme, titling and pictures.


There are some Rules of Acceptance for the Award!
 
You can right click on the award and save it to your desktop so it can be added to your blog.
  1. Choose 5 worthy Recipients and list them. Give a reason why you think their blog or work is special
  2. Then list 5 things about yourself including one thing you enjoy about crafting.
One small request. It is not a rule, but Grace would greatly appreciate a link back to her blog attached to the award badge when you display it on your site. Grace has kept the requirements few and simple so people will not feel it is a chore to accept the award. It is meant to be fun and encouraging! Since there are only 5 recipients each time, select them carefully and thoughtfully.
 
So here are my 5 choices in no particular order.
1. Anne from Stargroves blog... Anne is an amazing card artist. Such an eye for detail, color and just a beautiful person inside and out. And a fellow GlitterBee blog sister.

2. Joanne from Cardiology etc...Joanne is one talented gal.  Such a passion for the people in her life. A beautiful person inside and out.  The cards Jo creates are absolutely stunning. A SBS29 blog sister.

3. Tracey from Crafty corner blog.. Oh Tracey, you have got to see her work. She is amazing, her cards are stunning, and she is the sweetest person you will ever meet.
4. Karla over at KA Little ScrapCorner..Karla,is one of my co Dt members on cooking with cricut. She is an amazing paper artist. Such an eye for detail, she makes the most amazing paper piecings, her cards are stunning, and you will want to check her blog out.

5. Melissa, at Melissa's scrappen place, Melissa also a co member of the Cooking with cricut design team. Melissa has such an eye for crafting, she makes amazing layouts and  cards. Another talented lady with a passion for paper crafting..

Those are my choices, although I would love to give it a lot more people. These ladies are all very special to me.

The hardest part is telling 5 things you do not know about me.

1. I have the most generous, handsome, and loving Sons a Mother could ever want. They are my world.
2. I train and breed Labs for Duck/Goose/pheasant hunting. My 2 studs are the biggest babies in the world. When men come to buy hunting dogs they are surprised to see a woman doing all the training, and breeding. I love it.
3. I also Train my own horses, and compete in Rodeo's doing Barrel racing and pole bending. I love my horse, Ms Kitty, she is more human than most people are. And demands a chocolate muffin, a hug and a smooch before any work can take place.
4. I love to teach others to paper craft, and donate my time and supplies to 4-h groups, Girl Scouts,church groups, nursing homes, anyone who wants or needs to do an activity. I also hold free crops and classes from beginner to advanced and even cricut/gypsy/inkscape/Design studio and MTC classes
5. I am trying to open an actual store front scrap store in my town. We have no place to shop unless we travel at least 40 minutes. 

Thank you again Jen, you rock!

Cooking with cricut challenge swirls and twirls

Good day crafty ones, have I told you all how happy I am to be back!! I know I am late, and I apologize for being late, but better late than never, this is my entry for this weeks challenge, Swirls and Twirls...I know it is nothing spectacular, and working with no computer, no cutting programs, just a stand alone cricut, was a tall order for me. And I have never been so lost in a creative process before, and I hated it. I have realized several things in the last 10 days.
1. I come to heavily depend on my computer, the amazing programs out there, and
2. I have completely come to depend on the cutters, the programs, and the talented file creators out there, and
3. My life basically stopped and was in complete turmoil without my computer.
4. I missed all of you so very much, and seriously had blog withdrawl symptoms.
I realized I still had my gypsy to work with, which has been seriously forgotten about, but with the help of my little old cricut, my cartridges, some extra creativity, and this is what I came up with. I have never fully appreciated the paper artists who do beautiful work, and without the help of technology, so I think that in itself deserves a standing O. And I for one an envious of you crafty ones. SO with that said, and a renewed outlook on technology, I love my techie gadgets, and my online friends, please dont ever take them away again from me. lol
