CABIN CRUISER

Here's a boat I created today for StephanieDoan. She needed a boat and didn't have one on a cart. I used George only for this one.

UMBRELLA

Here's a smiple umbrella design. I used HA, GBS and CC. It could easily become a beach umbrella by exchanging the handle with a post.

BASSINET BABY SHOWER FAVOR

I made this bassinet using George. The base is 2 x 3. It will hold some small candies, but it does rock when you put them in. You can apply the rockers so they are even with the base and then they won't rock. I like the rocking, but not sure it would be practical to use this way.

VALENTINE HEARTS & BORDERS

I've been working on borders for Valentines. When I read about the new scallop heart punch by Martha Stewart that's designed "not" to cut completely, I decided to do a scallop eyelet heart of my own. The scallop/eyelet portion is resizable, but you will have to resize the inner hearts, as I could not combine them to be resizable with the scallops. There are three borders in this file also. I used WIMG, GBS, SB & DC. SCREENSHOT CLOSE UP OF SCALLOP HEART

WHIMSICAL BIRTHDAY CAKE

Here's a file I designed today for teeseluvs2scrap. I used GBS & PDDU. I've included many layers so each layer can be cut seperately with or without a design on it. The cake pedestal can also be cut seperately. I'm including a photo of the "original" inspiration. THE ORIGINAL PHOTO MY FINISHED CAKES

I'M NO LONGER TETHERED!!!

My Cricut, Design Studio and I are now all portable. I can take DS anywhere I want to take it. My DH & DS got me a laptop(and it's cricut green)for Christmas and today I loaded DS and made my 1st cut. I'm so excited!!! After reading all the MB threads about not being able to put DS on more than one computer, I just wasn't sure if it was going to work. I really wanted to do this so I won't have to go up 2 flights of stairs from my scrap room to the computer. I want to do some catching up on my own scrap books right now and I think this will help me get it done. It's been awhile since my last post. I got very busy making Christmas cards and getting ready for the holidays. My oldest son and DIL stayed with us for 12 days, so I stayed pretty busy with them. Now I'm ready to get scrapping!!!

YIN YANG SYMBOL

It is cut in two pieces. You can either cut two of the "shape" or cut a circle and one shape. I used GBS & HA.

MOD CHRISTMAS TREE FARM

One of the comments from my Christmas Tree Farm file asked if I could do a "mod" version with triangles. I did it immediately and tried to contact the person "Shelia" on her blog but got no response. I now can not access her blog, so I'll just post here for everyone to enjoy.

CHRISTMAS TREE FARM

This reminds me of going each year and hunting for the perfect tree. Some of us liked the big fat ones and some liked the skinny ones. Personally, I went for the "full, round" ones. They were always a challenge in the house though. They do take up more room. I used Christmas Noel, JOTS and GBS on this one.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS TWO STYLES

I just had to do some Christmas lights for borders. The bad thing is...I don't have the cartridge to cut these. I used CC(I don't have),GBS and OA for the knotted strand of lights. I used JOT & CC for the more formal swag strand. I sure wish I had that Christmas Cheer cartridge. I think these are so cute. They are on seperate pages.

BALL FRINGE

Here's a border made with GBS. I'm going to add some different designs to this one, so you may want to wait before downloading, or come back & check for updated file.

MY ANGEL BABY

This is for my son. I have no photos of him. I wrote the poem that is featured on right page. There is also a letter that I wrote to my son hidden on the left page under the poem. The embossed vellum on the left page is the etching from his gravestone. I shed a lot of tears working on this one but, it is the lo that I am most proud of to this date.

CHAINS & BORDERS

I've created some chains & borders that can be used with scrapbook pages or cards. The circle ones use GBS & or Pooh Font and the diamonds use GBS. These are all on one file, but seperate pages.

CHECKER BOARD

Here's my newest edge design. It's made with GBS.

TBBM BOXES

I have some boxes that members have been requesting on Cricut MB. There are three of them and they will have to downloaded seperately. For information on the fold lines you will have to check the TBBM handbook or CDS cartridge page. The first is the cake "slice" box and it is made with GBS only. Second one is a tree box made with GBS only. Last, but not least is the crayon box made with GBS & HA

BIRDCAGE

Here is a birdcage that was requested on the Cricut MB. Capncricut wanted to cut birdcages from vinyl for walls. I love old victorian birdcages, so I went with that style. It's made with GBS,HA,IA & AE. I added a bird from 50 states cartridge just for viewing. Hope you enjoy it.

"DOE" EYES, NOSE & MOUTH

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED THIS FILE, PLEASE BE SURE TO MOVE THE IRIS FROM THE EYE BEFORE CUTTING. I LEFT IT THERE TO SHOW HOW IT SHOULD LOOK AND FORGOT TO MOVE IT FOR CUTTING. 3:42 pm 10-13-08 Here is the face for PDDU figure. It has the look of Precious Moment figures. I used HA, Geo. Here's a close up of the face.

PINEAPPLE BORDER

I have a friend who is working on a Hawaii book, so I made a border for her pineapple plantation page. This one is 8", but the file includes a 12" as well. It was made on DS with PDDU and I colored it with pencils.

ARCHED BORDERS

I HAD A COMMENT THAT ONE OF THE ARCHES WAS NOT COMPLETE. I HAVE REINSTALLED THE DOWNLOAD. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF EVERYTHING COMES OUT RIGHT. 10-12-08 I HAVE ALSO HAD COMMENTS THAT THE DOWNLOAD GIVES AN "UNHANDLED EXCEPTION" MESSAGE. I WENT IN AND SHORTENED THE BORDER, AS THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN THINK OF THAT MIGHT CAUSE THAT MESSAGE. ANY HELP ON WHY, WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I WAS ABLE TO DOWNLOAD IT WITH NO PROBLEM, SO IF THIS DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU I DON'T KNOW WHY.10-18-08 I've created two more borders. Both are arched, but with a different look. Great for 12" page or cut them for cards or mats. I extended past the page size so the arch would be as complete as possible and then it can be trimmed. Arch 1 is Geo and arch 2 is HA & Geo. I tried to show what I mean about trimming in this second shot. My editing skills on this are just so so. Hopefully it's good enough to get my point across
