Beware of the Locals

Lettering Delights-The Wanderer

I saw this cut file and fell in love with it. Where I live we were the epicenter of the Legend of Big Foot/Sasquatch. There was  an office near my home and Mr Big was often "sighted" in the mountains around me. I suspect it was someone in a furry suit trekking the mountains making footprints to excite the locals LOL! Do you remember that 80's movie named Harry and the Hendersons?? I am sure it was inspired by Mr. BF!

I cut the card file and made a computer generated sentiment using Chiller as the font. It's a rather large card (6x8) so I think I would resize it next time. 

 I hope you enjoy this-it made me smile!

Happy Halloween! Candy Huggers and Mini Monsters

Trick or Treat!!!

I made these Halloween treat holders Saturday and then was gone all day Sunday...so just getting around to posting these! I do hope you enjoy them.  Trick or Treat!!!

Halloween Frankenstein Candy Hugger-Lori Whitlock

This is a Lori Whitlock Frankenstein treat holder. I enlarged it quite a bit so it would hold  full size candy instead of miniature size. I made 3 of these for my grandsons and a dear friends son.

Ghost Candy Hugger-Lori Whitlock

These were the easiest to make, although they were all super easy!  I made 6 of these.

 Halloween Cat Candy Hugger-Lori Whitlock

Halloween Bat Candy Hugger-Lori Whitlock

Mini Monsters-This was such a cute file from Lettering Delights...and super easy so I made 12 of these. The eyes go on the back side of the file and then when all folded, it ends up in the correct spot. Just sayin...some of my monsters ended up with two sets of eyes...which would not be unusual for an Alien anyway LOL!

I was not going to make treat holders this year, but shoot, there were soooo many fun files out there that I decided to go for it-but picked VERY easy files to whip up! 34 treaties made in just a couple of hours!  I missed doing my 31 days of Halloween treats this year...maybe next year!

Freebies! Donut know what I'd do without you!

Do you love freebies?  Having a Silhouette machine has sure changed my crafting style...(or maybe made it easier and took it to a new level) as I have always been one for fun shapes and fun fold cards!

Today I am showing you a fun little gift card freebie that I got from Lettering Delights this past weekend.  Super cute...I made it as a print and cut, but it did come as layers as well. Thank you Lettering Delights and also to all the other Companies and individuals listed below. They are so generous with their time and product!

Where do you find your favorite freebies for your cutting machine? Many companies have a freebie in their weekly newsletter and some post on their blogs or business sites as well.  Also, many individual  blogs share freebies too!

These freebies are  a great source of inspiration and an easy way to  start  building your file library and deciding which designer you want to look into further!

These freebies usually come in different file forms.---  .studio files are used in the Silhouette software, but if you have the designer edition-you can use .svgs as well just by adding cut lines. There are also other file types that will work as well, but I stick to .studio and .svg files.

Here is a list of some of  my favorites-please feel free to share your favorite sites with me and I will add to this list! If you look at the right hand side of my blog (scroll down a ways)  you will see a list of blogs (sadly needing updating-I have found sooo many new inspiration blogs).  All on the list below have freebies, but some of the other blogs listed off to the right side of my blog have  cut file inspiration too-not freebies!

Don't miss them!!!

What have I been up to today??? Cupcakes

I have a gazillion things to get done today...so what did I do instead?  

My daughter Abby received cupcake decorating tools for Christmas so today we decided to decorate her tool caddy with vinyl cupcakes and colored sprinkles. We had so much fun!!!  

We used the font  LDHipster  34449.  I actually got it from Lettering Delights, but I see it is available at the Silhouette Store as well!

I also used Cupcake with Decoration cut file 47375

I am entering this in the Silhouette Challenge for February-3D Item for your craftroom.

Thanks for popping in today...call me a slacker, but it was a good craftin' day!

Left Shark Valentine.

Left Shark Valentine!

I made this Valentine card especially for my Sweetums. I am not sure he will 'get' it, but I had a great time making it.    If you watched the halftime show of the Superbowl this year, then you might remember Katy Perry singing with the two dancing  sharks on either side of her and the funny beach balls bouncing all around. 

If you don't know what I am talking about...you can see a bit of Katy's performance here. 

There was quite a buzz about the silly shark dancer to the left of Katy...he sort of did his own thing and endeared himself to those who watched!

Lettering Delights offered a one time shot to download the shark freebie Dancing Shark Cut File so of course I got it and have been planning this card for the last couple weeks! I can't find that the file is available anymore....

I used a step card file from the Silhouette store as well and the palm tree and beach ball. The sentiment was made on my computer. The sharks are mounted on Action Wobbles so the sharks actually 'dance'!!! That makes me smile....

I hope you enjoyed my last Valentine of the season! I actually made about 30 sucker flowers and several other cards and dang-I forgot to take pictures. Oh well...it was a busy Valentine season for me this year LOL! Whew...now maybe it's time for a little break to clean my house --YIKES!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Dancing Shark Cut File

You're Hot Valentine

Just a quick Valentine to post. I have had these made for a while but just getting around to photographing them-probably because I need to give them out today LOL!

This was a freebie from Lettering Delights-(but can now be bought at their site HERE)so fun!  The front is pieced on the holder and the tag is a print and cut.   I had some wide bags that I filled M &M's and then folded in half to fit the tall, slim treat holders!  The files come in both print and cut and Cut It sets.

If you are not familiar with Jin at Under a Cherry Tree-and you are a Silhouette fanatic like me...maybe you should hop over to her site and check it out. She designs for Letter Delights-- I sure wish I had time to make all the fun things she shows off on her blog!  She will point you to all sorts of freebies as well! I l♥ve her blog!!!  What an inspiration!

I have my left shark Valentine card still to post today, but that will have to wait until some house projects are finished around here today!

Thanks for popping in!

Happy Birthday Cole-Turning 7!

Cole turns 7! 

 I can't believe it has been 7 years ago today that my little grandson made an appearance! My how times flies!

I took this picture a couple weeks ago at the Mt Hood Adventure Park here in Oregon where we took him for an early birthday present. He is actually jumping on a trampoline with tethers-oh what fun Peter Pan!

Gwamma Sue decided to make him a special card for his birthday...as rusty as I am-it took me off and on a whole day to make this...good grief.  I think he will especially love the googly eyes!

Everything was cut with my Silhouette using an Echo Park "Scoot" 6x6 paper pad from Inspiration Emporium and  some great cut files from the Silhouette Store. I used  misc fonts to cut the number 7 and Cole's name.

Links to the cut files:

Gotta love those googly eyes!

Thanks for stopping in today-see you soon!

Outlines Monday Challenge-Tags

Welcome to Outline's Monday Challenge -Make a Tag

I just love Christmas time!!!

I am usually so busy with my annual woodcraft project and cookie baking to do too much in the papercraft department, so I am enjoying making these fun stamping Christmas creations. I made these tags using images from just  ONE Outlines stamp! It was love at first sight when I  saw this  Christmas Carolers stamp! It is so very versatile.

I cut out the tags on my Cricut, using a svg file from Lettering Delights named Delilah Tags. I colored the Carolers and then cut each one out and added them on to the tags with dimensionals. I added some pretty gold ribbon that I think is May Arts...some I have been hoarding for just the right project!

Please check out what the rest of the team has made for you today!  
Kecia, Jenny, Jeanne, Lisa,  Sandy and Robin !

Don't miss a chance to win $25 worth of stamps on this challenge!
