Grill Card

So here's the grill file cut out, nothing fancy, but I wanted to make sure that if it didn't arrive in time for christmas that my dad would have something to open. Ordered a Grill cover from walmart, in his favorite team, MN Vikings.

3 Year Blogaversary!

Is just around the corner! Holy smokes! My Official Blogaversary date is January 3rd, so stay tuned for a posting with some Blog Candy :)

Gas Grill

Yes! I still know how to make .cut files! lol! 'bout time I start doing something.

I need a Gas Grill for a card, and I couldn't find anything that I liked on the cartridges, so out come's good O'George and a bunch of random shapes to make one.

The file is for the E, but just change the mat size and it will work with the baby or create too.

Now, off to get it cut out and make my card!

Mr Rebates

Chances are, you already shop at a good handful of the stores that are listed with this site. Like JoAnn's.. or HSN...or even Ebay! so why not get an extra "kick back" from your purchases? JoAnn's has a 5% rebate, and HSN has a 6% rebate... Ebay has a 5% rebate.. and many more! Plus, you can have the money put into a paypal account once you hit $10 in rebates.

On a side note, I did get the flowers ordered, Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I went with the Celebrations by Radko. I was googling coupons to see if I could find something more than 25%, and that's how I found MrRebates. I got an additional 16% through them :) They will be delivered on Thursday, so I'm now anxiously awaiting to hear how they turned out!
Now I'm off to get some more cards made... I completed all my "bulk" ones, and now have a handful of special ones to make.. going to try doing them as the "Tri Shutter cards", and will definitely post when they are done!

Bean Bag project

So Menards had these bean bags for the day after Thanksgiving. I won't lie, they are ugly. But, with some fabric and a sewing machine, they can turn out pretty cute. Its not perfect, but she is 7 and it will serve its purpose... And is much more inviting than the red. This took 3 yards of fabric, and I didn't have a pattern so I made it up as I went. The base was cut as a 50" diameter, and then 2 halves, cut slightly longer on the straight side so the 2 pieces would overlap. It is bigger than the bean bag, should have done a 40" diameter. But hey, it works right? And it can easily be taken off to wash.

Etched Jars

Here are two gifts for my coworkers, Beth and Kathy. The both have a 4 legged family member so I thought I'd make them treat jars.
Dog images were found on the web, fonts are Arial black and Comic Sans. Paw prints were found online too. Jars from Hobby Lobby, and were only $2.50 each! Can't beat that!

Vinyl on Scooter

Here's the scooter I got Lilly. Thought I'd decorate it a little, so I used vinyl and put her name and a butterfly on it. Sorry, can't remember font, but it was cut with SCAL. The butterfly is a SVG file
