I hate to leave you hanging so if anyone knows where the original is please leave me a post and I will add it here. Anyway you should check out the link above this gal is so talented. I always find great ideas there.

Butterflies for a friend.



A friend of mine asked me to keep my eyes open for open butterflies. I found these and a few others that can be cut with the SCAL and Cricut. These are just proto types and won’t be used. I just wanted to see how they looked cut out. The flower on the blue card is from the Stampin Up design studio. I used it in the SCAL program and had the Cricut cut it out. This is my first try at converting a design studio image to SCAL and it worked great. I love it when things work the first time round.

Last of the black and white hearts ...... for now

Ok even I have had enough of the black and white hearts. I will try to think of something different for you. I still have black and white hearts left but I think I am going to put them away for a while after this one.

Design Studio Images

Back to black and white but not a wedding card today. I will work on a black and white wedding card for tomorrow. I still have plenty of the hearts left. Again these images were printed out with the Stampin Up design studio. I will have to try printing something other than black in the near future.

Careful on Downloading SVG files

Oh I have learned a valuable lesson. Be careful of the SVG files you download. There are 2 reasons I found for this.
1. Some just might have a virus attached to them, I have not had this happen but was warned of them form a forum on Craft edge.
2. Some of the cut files, ok a lot of the cut files are junk! If they don’t show a picture of the cut item I am going to pass them up. I spent hours in the craft room yesterday cutting things out that I downloaded just to find out they don’t work. Good thing I had a bunch of cheap paper and I used it to test cut things. I came down hours later with not one thing to show for the time. Grrrrrrrr
I am going to spend some time cleaning out my files (I have over 6000) and I will be much more careful of the files I do download.
