Hello!

Hello everyone! I'm still here, just been super busy lately! I haven't had much time for creating files and I've used my spare time to scrap and do some work around the house since we've had so much beautiful weather the past week!

I'm hoping to be back with some new files very soon!

New Easter/Spring Files

Hello Everyone! I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter. It was a very cold day here, but overall it was relaxing which was nice. Now I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Spring weather!

I have several new files that I just added to my store over the weekend...they're mostly a spring or Easter theme, though some could be used for anything. Here are some previews of the new files...
It's a little late to use them on Easter Cards, but there's always next year--or your scrapbook pages! The plain Easter Egg diecut could be a lot of fun to cut larger and let the kids decorate them!

I removed the jellybean freebie (I hope you enjoyed it!) and today I'm going to give you half of my "Spring Jumbles" file. Click on the image below to download the horizontal Spring Jumble (it isn't as much of a jumble as the vertical one but I liked the finished product so I included it). Remember, all of the above files are available in my store and all of my files are 10% off for the month. There are also several freebies hidden in my store. Thanks for stopping by! Here's your freebie...

Spring Time!

I've had a very productive "cutting" day! I have so many files that are in progress and it was great to just sit and cut and put them together today! Here are the new files I added to the store tonight...

I made the "Hello" collection and the "Thank You" collection because it seems I'm always cutting those titles out to use on cards. Now you can have several different fonts/sayings all in one file. The "Hello" collection includes 6 different files and the "Thank You" collection contains 5. There will be more coming soon! I'm having a blast with titles lately :)

We had some snow this past week (after having a few beautiful days of sunshine) so I was very much in the spring mood! I hope that you enjoy the new files!

I'm hoping to do some more cutting and testing tomorrow, but not sure with the holiday weekend if that will happen. I'm going to leave the Jellybean freebie up (see the last post if you missed it to get the link) for a little while longer. If you're interested in any of the new files visit my store HERE! Remember that all files are on sale for 10% off during the month of April!

2 Easter Files and a few others...

Well I finally made it back with some new files! I've been cutting as much as my shoulder will allow (turns out that the problem wasn't what they thought it was, so back to the doctor I had to go) and I still have a few more to test cut. These files will all be added to the store today! You can check out my store by clicking HERE!

I really wanted to get these Easter ones ready for you, though! The first two are more of an Easter theme and the other two are part of an ocean theme I've been working on...Here are some pictures...

The eggs on the Easter Egg Hunt file can all be cut in different colors or patterns. The light purple part cuts as one piece and then you glue the 4 separate eggs to the back of that piece...then the writing gets layered on the top. I made mine with the SEI Spring Line from several years back because it is still one of my absolute favorite lines!

The little blowfish at the end is probably one of my favorites. I just had to make him out of some bright and crazy colors! There are several more fish, whales, etc. that will be coming soon, too...I had a whole "Under the Sea" theme stuck in my head for a few weeks!

I hope that you enjoy the new files! Hopefully I'll be back before Easter, but if not I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter with your families--and some nice spring weather, too!

I'm going to offer you my Jelly Bean file free today! Hope that you like it!

I'm Back!!!!

Hello! I'm finally back! The past two weeks have been crazy (and painful), and I'm so glad to finally get back to life as usual :)

I ended up having a twisted vertebrae in my neck that was hitting a nerve which was causing all of the pain and weird muscle spasms. I went to my doctor last Monday who sent me to a chiropractor last Wednesday...so now I'm working on getting my neck back to normal. Our family also unfortunately suffered the loss of my husband's sweet grandmother this past week. But things are finally calming down and all is normal (well almost!).

Thank you so much for your patience! I hope everyone had an opportunity to download the free file! I have a new freebie for you today! I'm actually in the process of cutting some files right now. Today I'm giving you the "Congratulations" file I made awhile back. Hopefully you can get a head start on some graduation cards or other happy occassion cards! If all goes as planned, I should be back tomorrow with pictures of some of the new files I've been working on!

Here's your freebie! If you like the files, please feel free to pass on my blog address to your friends so they can download some goodies too!

Just Popping In...

Unfortunately I seem to have done something to my right shoulder/arm/neck/back area. I woke up last Monday and wasn't able to move my head to the left or the right and was in quite a bit of discomfort. I really thought I must have slept wrong. Tuesday was about the same as Monday...then Wednesday I started to feel a little better and could move my head okay, I was just achey.

Well, by Friday I was in a lot of pain...I've spent most of the weekend taking pain relievers and sleeping as much as possible. Of course, I'm right handed so I've been pretty much useless the past few days! I haven't been able to work on any files or cut any of the files waiting to be cut. My plan is to head to the doctor tomorrow and find out what in the world is going on with me.

As soon as I'm able I'll be back with some new files and a new freebie for you! Thanks for your patience! I'm just going to leave the "Friends and Family" title up for now and I'll update to a new one as soon as I'm able!

Remember, my Christmas files are still on sale over at CuttersMarket through Tuesday!

Wedding files...

Good morning everyone! I posted one new file to my store last night, it's the first in a series of Wedding Titles. Here's a picture to give you an idea of what they look like:

The file includes the following titles: Groom, Bride, Father of the Bride, Father of the Groom, Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom. I didn't put them all in the picture because it made it difficult to see any detail with them all crammed into such a small space, but they are all the same font and look very similar. This is "Wedding Titles 1".

As I type this I'm test cutting "Wedding Titles 2" that will include Maid of Honor, Best Man, Matron of Honor...and also plural forms of all of these titles. I know often there may be two Maids of Honor or 2 Best Men, so I wanted to try to include everyone. Then "Wedding Titles 3" (which I'm also planning to cut today) will include the bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl, and ring bearer. I'm hoping to start on my wedding album next month so I'm getting ready! I also plan on putting all of the wedding title files together into one collection...if you try to jam too many in to one file it takes forever to load the file or do any work within the file. All the titles include a shadow layer also. The font is a script but it is easy to read and it cuts extremely well!

If you any have requests please let me know! I know there are sadly not many wedding files out there! We didn't do the traditional wedding so I'll be making some tropical wedding titles too and hopefully next up will be summer/ocean type files.

Thanks to those of you who read my blog and who purchase my files! This is just something that I love to do and it helps to support my scrapping habit a little lol! If you haven't yet snagged the "Friends and Family" freebie, do it soon! It won't be up much longer! It has so many uses! You could use it on many different styles of scrapbook pages (Holidays; Events like Weddings, Showers, Birthdays, etc.) and I also thought it would make a cute title for on the front of an address book or something of that nature.

Happy scrapping today! Here's another link to the freebie in case you didn't get it yet! You can see the sample below!

Yes, I'm Still Here

It has been a while since I posted, but I'm still here! I was out of town for the weekend and then came home only to have a million things to catch up on! I feel like I've been operating in slow motion the past few days!

Well, Spring is supposedly here! We had snow flurries here last Friday but fortunately they stayed flurries! Now we are supposed to be getting quite a bit of rain, which we so desperately need. I'm just not looking forward to all of the muddy paw prints!

Today I'm going to offer you a title I did a while back. It's "Friends & Family" and can be used for so many things. I'll hopefully be back sometime before the weekend with some new files to show you...there are so many in the works right now, I just need to find the time to test them out. :) Click the picture below to go to the freebie! Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

So hard to believe that it's St. Patick's Day already! We're not doing anything to celebrate today...we both had work today (and extra meetings tonight) so we won't even be home much...but I still just love St. Patty's Day!

In honor of today, I'm going to offer the Leprechaun file free, but only for today until I get home from my meeting tonight! So snag him while you can! :) The planet freebie from the other day is still also available...just look at my previous post to get the link for that.

Also wanted to let you know that I have several free files hidden in my gallery over at Cutters Market. I changed the "freebies" sometime last week, so if you haven't found them yet, go look for them!

Have a great time celebrating with your families and friends today :)

New Files!!!!

Hello! I'm back with a few new files! There is a lot going on in my life right now (losing my job soon and trying to find another one, still feeling a little under the weather) and things just haven't gone according to plan the past few days. Thursday was somewhat of a bad day for me and I just wasn't feeling too creative...so I gave myself some time to "get over it" and today I FINALLY got around to cutting some new files!

Just in time (really--JUST IN TIME!) for St. Patty's Day is a really cute Leprechaun. He takes a little bit of work to put together, but he cuts very smoothly! His nose looks a little funny in the picture because I put a pop dot under it and that didn't exactly cooperate too well with the scanner! Here he is...

I thought he'd look even cuter with a message written or stamped on the clover, or maybe with some of those "googly eyes".

Here's another file that looks like it would take forever to put together, but it's actually very simple...only two pieces! I'll post this one a little larger so you can make out the color variations a little bit better...

Continuing with the "space theme" I started last week, Here's a flying saucer...looking at it now I realize I attached the top a little crooked...the file is fine though, it's just the user having issues lol...

And last but not least, here is a pear...and yes, I'm working on a cheesy "The Perfect Pear" title to go with it!

There are a few more that I need to cut and if all goes accordint to plan (which let's face it,
RARELY happens!) I'll be back with a few more tomorrow!

Ready for spring!

We are having a very beautiful (but extremely windy) day in PA today! I got to chase our garbage cans down the street again! I am so ready for spring to get here :) I love fall, really dislike winter, like spring and for the most part enjoy summer....I just hate the humidity :) I would love to live someplace that was about 65 degrees year round...that would be PERFECT! :)

Today is a pretty busy day/evening for me, so I won't be posting any new files, but I have a few I'm hoping to test cut tomorrow! Just a reminder that if you have any requests, I'll do the best I can to help you out! Sometimes I get stuck in a creative rut and don't know what to do next! I have a leprechaun that is soooo cute! I'm hoping he cuts smoothly so I can get him offered to you quickly! St. Patty's day is one of my favorite holidays! :)

Also wanted to let you know that I marked down some of the prices in my store...Most files are now somewhere between $1.00 and $1.50 and the Christmas files are still 15% off. The economy really stinks right now, and scrapping is good therapy :)

Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with some more new files for you!

New files and a new freebie

It's very rainy here in Pennsylvania and most of the weekend was that way too. We did have a few days of beautiful weather toward the end of last week. Unfortunately, I spent most of those days on the couch trying to recover from strep throat!

Over the weekend I did get the opportunity to finish up a few files and got to test cut them last night. Here's a peek at the new stuff added to my store today:

The mittens remind me of a pair I had when I was younger...they changed colors whenever you went out in the cold! As a freebie today I'm going to offer the mittens. Hope you like the freebie! **Freebie is no longer available...you can purchase it in my store at CuttersMarket.com**

Just a reminder...

all Christmas files are 15% off this month!

Look for some more files to appear over the next few days, and a new freebie too!

Being creative today...

I spent some time scrapping today and thought I'd share the layout I worked on. This is a layout of one of my adorable nephews opening his Christmas presents. We weren't able to spend Christmas together so he came over the next week to open presents. I decided to not go with the traditional Christmas colors on this page, and instead used the Cosmo Cricket Cogsmo papers for the layout. The actual layout is based on the January 2Peas class...I'm just a little behind!

I created a new file for this layout...the little gears that you see are paper piecings I designed to go along with the overall theme of the paper. The file itself has a bunch of different "gears" and circles that you can mix and match to make all kinds of different gears. I thought you might enjoy seeing them on a finished layout. So here it is! The file should be available in my store by tomorrow. Thanks for looking!

I scream, you scream...

...all scream for Ice Cream! Here's a new file that I just uploaded to the store today. A while back i was looking at clipart for a project for work, and I found a picture of an ice cream cone that I hung on to. I practiced my drawing skills and here's what I ended up with! Thanks for looking! Hopefully I'll be back with some more new files and a new freebie for you in a few days. I'm taking a little sick break!

New Beach Files!

These are some new files that I added to my store today. Three beach files and some other miscellaneous files. Also, all of my Christmas files are 15% for the month of March!

New Files--FINALLY!

My new mats arrived so I finally got to test cut these files and get them uploaded to the store! There will hopefully be more added this week--mostly summer and beach files, and maybe a few more dog files.

Today I'm going to leave you with the "Happy Birthday" freebie I have posted above...the words work great together or on their own. This file will be available for free until I replace it with something else.

Here's the link to the freebie. And to forget to check out my store HERE!

Just checking in!

Hello! I'm still here, still making files. Unfortunately I was having a lot of cutting issues related to my mats, so I had to put an order in for some new ones. I have made my own several times but I think the patterned paper I was trying to cut was too thin and the mat was too thin so it wasn't working. A lot of the new files I'm working on (some fun St. Patty's day stuff!) have script writing so I really need a sticky mat to cut those well! I'll hopefully be back in service this weekend!

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day

Sorry I haven't updated lately...I've been swamped and am trying to catch up on everything!

I'm working on some new files, but they need to be test cut first...I'm working on some birthday pages so look for some birthday titles and paper piecings coming soon!

My adorable nephew turned 3 on Sunday! That inspired me to get to scrapping his 2nd birthday pictures. I love the "Surprise" line by Scenic Route and finally ordered it a week ago. It came on Tuesday, and I like it even more in person! So bright and colorful! Scenic Route is by far one of my absolute favorite scrapbooking companies!
Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day--we don't do much to celebrate, but it is a good reminder that we need to be sure to tell those around us how much we do love them!

This freebie is no longer available. You can purchase it in my store at CuttersMarket.com.

It's February!

February is here--seems like Christmas was only last week! I'm hopeful that our winter weather will be going away soon. It hit 50 degrees here on Sunday and it was such a nice break from the cold! We still have snow coming down, but were very fortunate to not get hit by the storm they were predicting last week!

It has been a very busy week for me so I don't any new files added to the store yet...but there are a few in the works! I thought I'd give you the "Forget Love" file today as a freebie (you can see a photo in the previous post). It's kind of hard to tell from the picture, but each word is individually "welded" together...that way you can cut each word from whatever color you'd like to. The shadow layer is also included in the file.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to those of you who purchase my files and those who leave me comments. It feels good to be appreciated!

**This freebie has expired. You can purchase it in my store at Cutters Market**
