It's Been A While.........

It has been a while since I posted due to my husband being sick. He is feeling better now so I decided to do some creating this past weekend. A few late updates: 1) We went to NY for Christmas amd after shoving snow and our vehicle getting stuck on the ice so many times, I believe that I have to delete that license plate at the bottom of this blog that says, "I Miss NYC". 2) New Years Day was my birthday and I'm now.....one year away from Forty! "Urgh" 3) This weekend I will be attending the "Stamp, Scrap Art Tour" in Columbia, SC. I really love learning the latest stamping techinques from this show! And now my last, but my favorite update: 4) My Stepdaughter will be expecting her first child a baby girl in July! So expect to see a lot of "PINK" on this blog from now on! Here are some of the pages that I created for a Scrapbook that I'm going to make for her:

New Software!

I was on the SCAL MB when I noticed a post about a new software for the Cricut. It is called MTC Make The Cut. I know that I'm going to have to try it because it combines both the capabilities of SCAL 2 and Inkscape into one program, Yah! So I will be downaloading a trial version soon.
Here is the link: http://www.make-the-cut.com/

Comments and Graphics - Layouts - Photobucket

No special occassion, just wanted to honor all Law Enforcement (past & present) including all my co-workers, my father, my husband, my sister & myself.

Sympathy Cards

I made these cards for two of my co-workers that I have known for many years. They are brothers who recently lost their Grandmother. The pictures are not the best, I had a hard time trying to take a picture without glare.

Etched Trifle Bowl

I etched this bowl for a co-worker. She will be giving it to someone as a gift. TFL.

Coloring Pages.....

I made this plate for my In Laws. I used an online coloring page for the cut (bells). I really love the trace function in SCAL 2. All you have to do is open the coloring page in SCAL 2 push the trace button and you now have a beautiful, free design to cut. I have decided that the easier way to share the coloring pages that I have saved and/or used would be to post them as a picture on my blog. If you want one of these coloring pages to trace in SCAL 2 just double click on the picture to make it bigger, then right click and save the picture on your computer to import into Sure Cuts Alot.

My Latest Toy....

I had been debating a while about purchasing a Slice machine and finally, I decided to get one. It was a hard decision to make because there were many mixed reviews, so I decided to just try it out for myself. And I'm glad that I did! It cuts very well and it has very pretty designs. My Slice came with extra cutting blades, embossing tips and the embossing mat, markers, design idea cards, a pack of patterned paper, a spatula, adhesive & brush and a new MS Plus Design Card!. My Slice will be a good companion for my E, but not a replacement.
