Thank you all for the Holiday Wishes! You are all such and AMAZING group!
This has been and great year after many not so great years. So many blessings cannot even begin to count.
I am having trouble getting into Christmas this year. I don’t even have tree up yet! I left too late and now can’t find one 🙂 I would prefer an artificial tree but literally sold out everywhere. Just wrapping my head around grabbing a fresh one and dealing with stands, etc not all that appealing.
Sorry to whine!
I did up this gorgeous poinsettia and used ii on simple scalloped A2 sized card HERE.
You can make this as complicated or simple as you like by varying colours of paper in shades of greens and red.
This also looks fabulous with all ind of embellishments( like glitter glue!)
Hope you enjoy!

Free SVG GSD MTC KNK Cutting File: Pine Tree Border for Scrapbooks and Cards

Pine Tree Border SVG GSD KNK MTC

Probably one of my favourite places on earth is Algonquin Park in Northern Ontario. I have not been in a few years but i used to camp with mys sister every year there for over ten years. The views are just spectacular.
The first time I saw the view from the look out on Pine tree trail literally took my breath away.
Ever since then I have loved tress and the look of tress on the horizon. When I am at my trailer I will spend hours painting with watercolours the skyline and tress that I see on the drive up. I am no great talent but the swirl of colours relaxes me and I often invite people to pull up a chair an paint away with me.
I wont go into detail for privacy reasons but it has been a tough time this past month for our family and taking a moment to be “in the moment” and being mindful has helped keep my sanity.
I keep meaning to do up more camping and rv files- I don’t see very many of them and I think one of the reason is that they are HARD to do 🙂
This border would work just as well on a winter or Christmas themed page…just add some red balls or snow flakes and there you go 😉
I did up the simple but elegant pine tree border and just love it! It is sized at 11.75 inches long so size according to your cutter. I am a HUGE fan of borders. My scrapbook pages are usually a funky border and a couple of matted photos. I got my start scrapbooking in 2001 with Creative Memories (and still have shelves of product!!!) and that style still sticks with me 🙂
Hope everyone is enjoying their week and have a GREAT weekend!!!!

Free Christmas Jingle Bells Cutting File Download for Scrap booking, Cards and Paper Crafts


Hi everyone! I’m getting more and more excited about moving! My old house looks so cluttered and chaotic and new one all fresh and clean! I broke down and ordered boxes from moving company- its almost impossible to find free boxes for moving anymore- everyone mashes them up in machines for recycling. Normally I could find on free one on Kijiji but I think not many people are moving this time of year. Go figure!
I am at new house while ducts get cleaned and cable/internet is installed.
Here is a really sweet Christmas bells cutting file done up as disc/charm- charm sounds much better. My move feels like it has totally eclipsed Christmas and I feel a bit out of the loop. No Christmas decorating, crafting or baking 🙁 At least making holiday files keeps me in the spirit!
Hope you enjoy the file!

Free Christmas Bell Cutting File Download for Scrap booking, Cards and Paper Crafts

Took possession of new house yesterday and was a nail biter! The mortgage company sent mortgage funds to wrong bank and my lawyer was jumping though hoops to get it closed! I should be more anxious than I am but might be i denial about the work ahead 🙂 I have picked my hot tub to stress about. Winter hit us on weekend and weather is pretty cold and bit worried about water lines freezing and ruining my poor hot tub I have moved it now 4 times! SO far only in warm weather s cross your fingers I don’t screw this up!
Going out to look at paint samples and possibly new dresser. I bought new bed for my daughter and the matching dresser I bought for my son’s room which is now causing world war 3 as DD feels since it matches it should be hers and he can have the one she STOLE from him 7 years ago back. This is what I am dealing with. *sigh*
I needed stress relief and find designing files good way to relax. Some people bake I fiddle with computer software 🙂 This is simple bow done in disc style I seem to have latched onto.
Hope you all are having a GREAT week!!!

Free Noel Christmas Pop Up Card Cutting File SVG GSD KNK MTC

Free Pop Up Christmas Card “Noel” Cutting File Download for Scrap booking, Cards and Paper Crafts

New Pop Up Christmas Card Cutting File

What a day! My house closes on Monday and was a MAD scramble today. A few glitches with home insurance that got me a bit frazzled but was able to it straightened out. I started working on this pop up card yesterday after a suggestion from Pat B.
I have long been wanting to tackle a true pop style card but knew it would be a lot for my brain to handle. This card was one of the more difficult ones I have ever designed for sure but well worth the effort. Only one other card was more difficult than this, Pop Up Butterfly Card Cutting File in SVG GSD KNK and MTC formats. Its not the design that is hard but figuring out how to get what is in my brain and into reality.. what needs to go where and how. This Noel card took about 10 sheets of cutting to nail and am extremely pleased with the whole thing. The design is clean and not fussy or fiddly and eventually cut perfectly. After the large learning curve I know the next ones will be much easier. Look for a TON of these coming up now that I know how to do.
I used my new DoubleMates Berry Red Cardstock as base and then BasicGrey from Wassail Christmas – Collection
prints that were double sided. When I cut the “Noel” letter to glue on the card I flipped the image in MTC so I could use reverse side of the printed card stock.
For the life of me I cant find my glue pen so used some very drippy glue that was kind of messy- you will note messy glue is camouflaged by some carefully sprayedGlimmer Mist. My secret weapon to cover up small mistakes 🙂
I used scoring marks in design but feel free to use embossing tool. One issue I did have was converting file and was in a bit of rush so the KNK and GSD files are not neatly inside the sign blank. Will cut fine but to be honest I didn’t have patience to put into two files not to mention the extra bandwidth for downloads.
Originally the card didn’t have the punched out border but I felt it was missing something and added at the end. All and all VERY happy with this! Hope you enjoy.

Vintage Jingle Bells Scrapbook and Card Title

Free Vintage Jingle Bells Title Cutting File Download for Scrap booking, Cards and Paper Crafts

Hi all- been very hectic few days. Server for my website was corrupted and spent last 2 days trying to get everything back up and running. LOOKS like it might be okaynow.
I have been trying to hunt down font from the movie poster ” A Christmas Story” my ALL time Favourite Christmas movie!
During my hunt, I saw several vintage-style images and I sort of morphed this one to use as a Scrapbook title page or Christmas card. I love the vintage/ Norman Rockwell feel of it.
The fonts I used were Preciosa and and Santa’s Sleigh both of them free.
I have an idea for cards I am going to try and squeeze in involving lots of glitter :-).
Some good news- got my Doublematess card stock paper in from my LSS that I ordered in JUNE!!!!I was bit disappointed because she could only get it in 81/2 x11 size and I wanted 12×12. I took it anyway but sort of a waste. I have 50 sheets of each colour and I am rapidly becoming one of those scrapbookers who NEEDS a special paper shelf just for paper! I cannot believe that where I am heading.
Also one of the colours I REALLY wanted, Pretty Pink
back ordered and may not be able to get again… I was getting desperate for some nice solid red card stock to use as base for cards and very happy with the Berry Red that came in.
I did do draw and will annouthe nce winner when they get back to me so I can confirm.
I will be posting another contest tomorrow 🙂

Free Christmas Angel Cutting File Download for Scrap booking, Cards and Paper Crafts


Expect a bunch of these to pop up n the next few days- I am on a tear making up what I think are cute little files for cards and scrapbook pages. Today is a Christmas Angel disc cutting file. I love the way these look when on a card and my daughter puts them on the back of envelopes. I cut these out with scraps and have stash near ny cutter. The disc behind the file that gives it a pop of colour makes it pop is the same size for all of them so you can interchange with what you have on hand.
Very thrilled with the positive response everyone is having to Copic Christmas Contest! Please don’t forget to enter and win the set of Copic Markers or Copic Coloring Guide Books.
We are having our first real taste of Winter here- very snowy and blustery! Perfect day to be inside and craft ! ( or in my case pack boxes 🙂 )
