My Ice Cream Truck Was stolen on Christmas Night

To all my wonderful readers, please visit my facebook page and share. My ice cream truck was stolen from my driveway on Christmas evening.

I am trying to get a news agency to do a story on it to no avail. We need your prayers.

Here is a facebook page I have created. This is where all the updates will go

I am on a roll, Rudolph the red nose reindeer cutting file for MTC, Make the Cut!

Well, today I am just in the mood to create files. Here is another little cutie, Ruldolph with a nice shiny blue collar.


I had to fix his eyes, they were just pin points in the coloring image I scanned in, I think he looks much better now. What do you think? Enjoy, remember to show your love if you find good use for my files. Merry Christmas! Just click on the image to download a zipped folder with all the types of images in it.

Free Harry Potter Snowman Cutting File

I call this my Harry Potter cutting file because I made the colors on the scarf the Griffindore colors. That was the group that Harry and his friends belonged in. My daughter and youngest son are huge Harry Potter fans.

Here is an image of the file. Click on the image and you can download a complete set of files, Ai/Gs, pdf, png, svg, and mtc. Enjoy.

Would love to see what you do with these files, feel free to comment.

Regards,
Laurie

PS. After I uploaded the files I realized he has a band on his hat. So I edited the mtc file with a version with the band to match his scarf on his hat. I didn't edit all the other exports in the zipped file. That is an easy fix for anyone familiar with cutting files.

Here is the new image and clicking it will give you just the mtc file.

Conducting Node Surgery with Make the Cut Software, Version 4

Here is another one.

A version 4 youtube tutorial of Make the Cut Software


Many at the forum have been searching for tutorials, but many of the ones on Youtube.com are for the older versions. So I decided as I find the newer version ones, I am going to embed them here.



If you have one that is 4.0 or newer please let me know.

Organizing with the Cricut, Look What I did Tonight!

I am about to get into some serious sewing in the next few weeks. Besides Christmas I plan on sewing a bunch of items to put up on etsy to earn money to pay for my Zing.

Well the first thing I had to do before I can do any SERIOUS sewing, is to get a little more organized in the sewing space I have.

I have tons of those white pull out plastic bins, you see below, (I get them dirt cheap at yard sales  in the summer when I am selling ice cream in my ice cream truck. :).

They look a little yellowish in these pics, it is because of the indoor lighting, crappy picture. Even though they are semi see through, it is still hard for me to remember what I have put in them all.

So ooooo.... or should I say sew....... tonight I cut out chalkboard labels with bracketed edges. Now I can write in chalk on them what they contain, and can even change it easily as the drawers contents change.

The brackets are cut out of chalkboard contact paper. Don't ask me where I got it, I bought it quite some time ago, and can't remember where I picked it up. LOL>

Oh and as always I cut, designed and resized my brackets to fill a whole 12x12 mat, and used the small ones for smaller drawers and the big ones for the larger ones.






The bracket files are available in the gallery of the MTC software. Just search under bracket, not brackets. When I did the plural version it came up empty.

Never knew I could have fun organizing.

Til later,
Laurie

PS. Thanks, so much to the donations, I use them for my creative endeavors, that way I don't have to take funds from supporting the kids for my fun habits. :o)
You have know idea how much those donations are appreciated.
