I designed My first SVG cut file -an Oval Purse

I've designed my first SVG file an "Oval Purse" cut file.
Actually I've created a few really fun patterns when I designed for a printable paper craft and clipart site. I just need to adjust and convert them to .svg files.
The leaf image and tag are from the "Storybook cartridge". Then used "Swiss Dots" Cuttlebug embossing folder on the leaves. "Happy fall" is printed from my computer.
What do you think of my Oval Purse pattern, would you be interested in the .svg file? Let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Have a wonderfully creative day!

Handwriting on the wall --Vinal Decor

Hi,
I'm so excited to share this wall decor with you. This is in my daughters bedroom, and the really cool thing about this font is you wont be able to find it anywhere because it is in my daughters handwriting, cool huh!
She wanted her own hand writings on the wall so we figured out a way to do it.

above her curtains

next to her bed (it really is on a slant)
"I go to my island of dreams"

on her mirror

If you are familiar with using Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) then you'll understand how I did this.
We used black vinyl to cut out the words with my Cricut Expressions.
This is how the process went...
I had my daughter write on a blank piece of paper the words she wanted. I then scanned the paper with my scanner. In Photoshop CS2 I made sure the complete image was solid black, saved it as a .jpg file (I'm sure you can use any photo editing program).
Then I opened the image in Inkscape and made it into an SVG file. Open the .svg file in SCAL, sized how she wanted it, then cut.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Have a wonderfully creative day!

Wild Card Series Continues...

Hi friends,
I've been having fun creating cards from the "Wild Card" Cricut cartridge, I hope you are enjoying the wild card series.
I always cut my envelope first at the larges setting possible using my Cricut Expressions machine and 12x12 cardstock, then cut the other pieces at the same size.

Wild Card #3 -2 cards

Everything was cut at 4 1/4"

Wild Card #4

Everything cut at 5 1/2" except the birds. I cut them at 4" I used a white pen for the eyes.
One other change I made was cutting 1/4" off each side of the rectangle "icon" so it did not take up the whole card front.

Remember if you have any questions or comments let me know.

Have a wonderful creative day!
Robin :)
