Back Again

It's been a very long time since I've done anything creative, but here are two things I've had fun doing this past week. Jan, of Sam and Hailey Designs, has been creating awesome files to get my creative juices flowing! She has a new membership club open for this quarter and all the items pictured were created with files from this membership.

Just FYI, the cost of the membership is only $10.00 and she guarantees to give you at least 20 files created for your digital cutter (gsd, ai, knk, svg, wpc formats are available). That turns out to be just 50 cents per file and trust me she does some awesome stuff. If you want to check out some of the most recent additions to the membership club check out her blog at http://samhailey.paperthreads.com/ and if you hurry she has a cute "Earth Day" file available to download from her blog for free. There's also a link to purchase the membership club.

Okay, enough talk here's the projects:



I need some cards to go with baby gifts--it seems I have at least 10 friends who are expecting baby girls any day now. This card was fast and so simple to throw together. I used Jan's "Baby Carriage" digital stamp (which also includes a cutting file) and simply used the "print and cut feature" on my Silhouette to make fast little embellishments for the cards. I was amazed at how well they cut even being so little (approx. 1.5 inches wide). Here's a close-up of the carriage. I didn't want to color it, I like the black and pink combo, but you could always add a little color too.


SO CUTE!!!!

Here's another project.


I've been needing new decorations for my kitchen window. Lately, I'm really liking quotes so I wanted to create a tile with some of the attributes the LDS Church is encouraging it's youth to develop. When I saw Jan's new file, "Swirly Spring Tree", I knew just what to do. A tree is a perfect reminder of something that is "strong, steadfast and immovable"--it went perfect with the quote, plus it was cute and "springy". So here it is. I cut the file out of vinyl and then just stuck it on the tile. I love it and it added some much need "spring" to my window!

Thanks for looking and come back soon--I hope to have some more stuff to show you!
