Sam and Hailey 3rd Quarter Membership

It's been a long time since I posted--somehow summer left and school (and PTA) began and my time got away from me. As usually Jan has designed some awesome files for her membership members. Below is a sampling of 4 of those files available to those in the 3rd quarter membership.

The card above was cut using Jan's "Side Step Card". The little present is from her "Itty Bitty Presents" file which can be purchased here:http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7055 The "Happy Birthday to You" on the font of the card was created using Jan's "Casual Cute Pen Alpha" file. This file allows you to make use of the pen tool accessory for you digital cutter. Jan's file can be found here: http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5386 The card was fast and simple to make since all the thinking is already done for you! It is always fun to give a handmade card to someone you love!

This next little treat was created using Jan's "Page Borders-Garden" file. These borders are designed to cut 12 inches long so they can complement your scrapbook pages. But, since I haven't scrapbooked in a year (to my disappointment), I decided to think "outside the box" and use the cute file for something else. One of my neighbors had checked on our house when we were on vacation--so as a small thank you I gave her her favorite candy bars wrapped up in the cute flower bordered backed by some ribbon--she loved it and it only took 2 minutes to make!


This little sign was made using another of Jan's Pen Alpha files. I used the "Curly Cursive" file from the membership to quickly make a Fall decoration for our guest bathroom. We could all use a little reminder to be grateful. The brown frame and swirl are a photo overlay from "My Minds Eye"--but you could easily do something similar with your cutter. Oops, I just noticed that the "A" in the middle of the picture is a little messed up--a lesson on remembering to "group" objects before moving them around. Trust me though, this is user error--Jan's file is perfect :)!


Somehow I got involved in PTA this year and am now in charge of the Reflections Program for our school. I needed to make a few posters to remind students to enter and Jan's "Very Vinyl-Get Creative" file in the membership made for a perfect header for the poster. The "Art Crown" is from the file. Can I just say how much I LOVE vinyl--this was such a fast poster to make since it was just a cute graphic (courtesy of Jan) and text. No gluing needed since I cut it from vinyl!
I still have two more little project to post, but I've got to run my E to the orthodontist! Be back later.
