Two new freebies to share!!

Well it is that time of year again when Science projects are assigned and I help with the board to add that Title and any pics that I can cut to make it look better.  So this year my son decided to do invisible ink.  Sounds simple!  I have no cartridges with lemons or orange juice containers on them.  Thanks goodness I have MTC!!  I found free coloring pages online and away I went!! So here is the 2 free files formatted in MTC and SVG!  The orange juice box I had to almost redo a lot of it because the lines weren't connected.  The right upper corner is a bit rough.


Here is the finished product!  They both cut great!!

Please leave me a comment if you like them!!

Here is the finished project!
 The font I used is Bonniesfont
He was so happy. I think he did a great job getting the info together.
 In order for the juices to show up we had to use the embossing heat gun and they showed up real good...

Hey all, it has been awhile since I have posted! I have been busy with a new job! I ran out of adhesive and we just could not justify the expense. I did however get over to my friend Lori's house to make a card for my son's 16th birthday! She had gotten a kit from Annie's attic back in May (she thinks) that was masculine and she did not use all of it. Soooo we decided to make one of the cards with a little bit of modifications! Here it is...

Halloween Challenge

Here is my Simple entry into Getting Cricky with K Andrews Challenge to Make a card for Halloween using ANY Cricut Cartridge.  I used Plantin SchoolBooks for the TRICK OR TREAT words in Design Studio.  The orange layer is card stock from my stash and the Black Layer is actually vellum co;ored on the back side with black Sharpie.  KAndrews showed a tutorial on this tecnique and I tried it and think it looks good!  The background is from a box that has solid colored and patterned cuts in it. On the top of the box it has a label that says 076767 Solid/print Soup Combo pack it is from Pixie Press and called Alphabet Soup.  It is about 7 or so years old so I don't even know if it is available anymore.  The black sqares I crimped and just thought that it needed a bit of texture!  Thanks for looking!

Have a 4 Star Day!!!

Here is a variation of the Okieladybug's card!  I highly recommend her blog okieladybugsscrapnmore.blogspot.com She has a lot of great ideas and if you own Design Studio she has a bunch of c0904002031ut files for downloading!!  She is quite a character as well!!  Very humorous and fun!!  The Cart. Mostly uses Plantin Schoolbook and in her variation she used Locker Talk on her tickets as I did not have locker talk I skipped that part and instead used the Baseball Solutions cart. for the soda!!

For the Popcorn I cut out all the pieces and put them down on scrap paper and took my Color Box cat's eye in Canary and just started tapping on them!!  I really thought it turned out great!!  Here is another version of this same theme...

0904002031a This was the first one I did.  Here is the inside of both cards!!0904002032   Please check out Okieladybugs blog she is a very creative Lady!!!

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry I have been so busy with Baseball Tournaments the last few weeks.  Summer is winding down and I have been busy applying for jobs.  I can't believe that it is taking so long...  Some good news though I had a job interview today and I think it went very well!  When I got home from my interview I checked my e-mail and a job I had sent my resume to had said they checked it and I am a good match and they are passing it up the chain!  Plus one of my favorite stores the Scrapbook Zone asked for my resume on Mon. I filled an application last week.  Hopefully something will pan out!!  I need all the prayers I can get on these!!  I hope to be crafting soon.
