It's Strawberry Pickin' Time

       Love my strawberries and frozen ones in summer!  The crow "hit a nerve with me" because they always dine on my blueberry bushes before I get to pick them.  Those crows are always one step ahead of me....they are no different when it comes to my 5 pitiful strawberry plants either!  Download HERE for wire basket.  I will use the basket again for something entirely different so come back and visit.  My friend, clbecker from svgcuts.com forum, got me hooked on the cute "Peachy Keen Face Stamps"...they are super!  I also used Trina Clark and Friends.com digi stamps...super cute....super cheap!! Added a little copic markers and embellishments and I say complete!  Thank you for stopping by to take a peek.

FARM Theme (Card Swap)

      I participated in my first card swap at svgcuts.com.  I was so excited that I joined 2 strings, so I had to create 2 different cards.  We had to use a "farm" theme.  I used elements from the cute Grandpa's Organic Farm Collection  and Crafty Mice Set . I designed my own farmer's hat for the male mouse in Inkscape, as well as the straw and basket for the watermelons. (Download HERE) for the hat and straw svgs for mouse and barn.  (Download HERE) for the basket, straw and hat .scut file that is used with SCAL2.  The second card is a slider card. I must say, I had a fun time! Come and join in on the fun!

Stamps for watermelon and "saying" are from "Fresh from the Farm".  Charlie Horse and "saying" were from the Charlie Horse Collection.  Both can be purchased at  cleardollarstamps .

Having Some Woof Days?

      I don't always play on words on my cards, but I've done it a lot lately.  I've had a lot of friends and family that could use a little laugh. Except for the Marvy flower punch, I designed all the svg cuts in Inkscape. (dog, window, flower bracket, and flower basket).   I didn't show the inside, but has a pic of dog's drooling tongue. It says "There's nothing better than to end a bad day covered in dog slobber !"  And, that's the truth if you are a dog lover.  (The stamp is by American Art Stamp) All my svgs can be downloaded by clicking the svg listed in the right column under Svg Files.

Lamp Post at Christmas

Ok...One of my first little svgs I have created for some Christmas cards. I worked with some very special students at Eastside High School that wanted to make some cards for some friends and family. Their patience and determination made me just a little humble.


There is certainly no reason why it couldn't be incorporated into a Spring card.

To get the svg, you will have to "click" the lamp post svg in the right column.

I guess my goal is to deposit at least one svg file a week to my blog. My svgs may never be as good as Mary and Leo's at SVGCUTS, but their inspiration and the support of the forum group are plenty of motivation.
