I don't mind the links that send you some place for something else thats different or new. If I jsut confused you more Sorry! I think I confused myself it it that helps LOL! HAve a Crafty Saturday!

Freaky Friday

TGIF! This Friday is just a catch up of this past week and well ok maybe past month. Some days I think I bit off more than i can chew! All these fantastic ideas spinning in my head and i want to get it all out now! I had a blast in vegas wsith my sister. I'm not much of a gambler, too chicken to put that money in those machines. I did a few times and won $40 on my sisters $20. I learned so much at CTMH Leadershare. I am hoping to implement alot of what i learned. But old habits are hard to break. I've been trying all week to break them, I've done ok. Being away for a few days took me a few days to catch up.

First we will start with the Blog awards I've received in the past month. I do apologize I forget who gave me a few and If you can just say it was me who gave you ""x" award. I'll be sure you get credit! :)








I do love all the awards I received and am so honored in receiving them and I feel just horrible for letting myself get so behind that i forgot who has awarded them to me :( 

I did receive this weekend the Versatile Blog Award from Anne at Anniebee's Craft Room

As Part of these awards there are requirements I'm suppose to do and I don't remember them all. I know i need to share things about myself and pick other blogs to award them too.

So here's Seven (since 7 is my lucky and favorite #) things about me

  1. I'm American
  2. I only speak and understand English
  3. I miss drawing and painting
  4. I love the Rain
  5. I'm Christian, just not Good at it.
  6. I miss my little sister so much
  7. I wish upon a star every night (that i can see stars)
Each Day starting tomorrow I am going to choose 5 Blogs per Award. So along with my daily postings you'll see my Blog Award goes to:  Posts! 

Thank you for following me, leaving me comments, sending me awesome emails and just being YOU :)

Sketchy Saturday

This Week, if you haven't noticed I missed most days posting. If you look at the date of this particular point you'll see its posted on Sat. and not Friday. i do apologize for not posting on my regular days. Its been a tough week for me and each week is getting tougher. I am coming up on my 3rd anniversary of my malpractice incident and you'd think each year it would get easier but for me it gets harder and starts earlier. I think because I think of where I was then on this date 3 yrs ago and where I would have been if Dr. Daniel Davis didn't make a mistake and change my life and not in a way a Doctor is suppose to, but he did and he refuses to take responsibility for his actions, no it won't make my arm be all better, but it would make the financial part of all my medical bills I have and still encore every month alot easier. In any case, I'm babbling away. If your interested in MY Story you can see my new Blog and Facebook Page I've decided to start here: BLOG  or FACEBOOK. I'd love to have your following support.

I'm A little Late in getting this post up for today cause of reasons I explained above. So here's the Sketches for this Saturday. No Challenge this week but just for you to add to your Sketches.
Card Sketch


Layout Sketch:


Freaky Friday

Freaky Friday is spontaneous posts. Things that I want to share and either missed throughout the week or a total twist to a post or whatever I feel like doing! Maybe there will be a challenge, or a project I've finished and worked on, or a freebie, or some way out of the box post. Who knows it will keep you on your toes for sure!


This Week, if you haven't noticed I missed most days posting. If you look at the date of this particular point you'll see its posted on Sat. and not Friday. I do apologize for not posting on my regular days. Its been a tough week for me and each week is getting tougher. I am coming up on my 3rd anniversary of my malpractice incident and you'd think each year it would get easier but for me it gets harder and starts earlier. I think because I think of where I was then on this date 3 yrs ago and where I would have been if Dr. Daniel Davis didn't make a mistake and change my life and not in a way a Doctor is suppose to, but he did and he refuses to take responsibility for his actions, no it won't make my arm be all better, but it would make the financial part of all my medical bills I have and still encounter every month alot easier. In any case, I'm babbling away. If your interested in MY Story you can see my new Blog and Facebook Page I've decided to start here: BLOG  or FACEBOOK. I'd love to have your following support.

Now before I get to the FUN STUFF! I am going to speak my mind because that is who I am, if you want to unfollow me because I am speaking from my heart and you don't like what i have to say, I say farewell, it was nice having you and I'm sorry you are leaving, but it is what you feel you need to do and I understand. I will miss you because I do enjoy having each and everyone of you as a follower. But I do hope you'll read to the end and decide to stay.
With that being said, there is only one way to say this so I'm going to spew it out and I am not trying to offend anyone in any way and maybe you didn't even realize it was happening. I don't mean to sound stuck up or mad or unappreciated or selfish or even greedy. I have been working hard, really hard on making MTC files and also converting them to SVG (easily thru MTC), but I don't use SVG files myself, but I do it for those who use SCAL or other programs, that I do not use, but they do, so they too can enjoy the files, but the time adds up in saving them, uploading and listing them along w/the MTC files. One thing, what many may not realize is I see how many times my files have been downloaded and most are in the hundreds, (that is each file, while a few only have 20 or so most average between 100-300 downloads) which YES its awesome that HUNDREDS of people are enjoying the labor of my hard work for free! But what sucks is I have only been thanked a few times, not a few hundred literally under 20 combined and it really makes me feel like I smell.

From This day forward I will have Freebies on MTC Mondays and they will only be free on Monday, by Tuesday the Freebie will no longer be Free, sorry. Beyond that you will need to email me for any Free files but it will need to be within that week. On occasion, you may find other days I will have Free MTC files (and yes SVG too) those will too have the 24 hr download period and the one week to email me. I will be updating my older posts and possibly removing them all together, not sure yet what I am going to do. Why you may ask? well, its pretty simple, everyone else is doing it too, so why not me too. I work really hard at making these files. Alot of files I make are for you because its something either someone has suggested, requested or I know there is a need or want for it but I don't necessarily want or need it. Most of my files are test cut by me and the cost of even cheap paper adds up and that is money I don't have. On top of that, the time it takes to test cut all my files is less time I have to Cut stuff for me, for my projects, blogging, facebooking, and working on my CFS cards. Many don't realize the sacrifice in my time, money and my hobby that it takes to make these. I do enjoy making them but time is money. So basically, it is a very hard decision I have made. One that came from many fellow scrappers who also make files and others who don't, that I should be charging and therefore I am charging. I need to find a way I can make a living and maybe this is a way I can work part-time and you can still enjoy my files at a very fair price in comparison of the prices of cartridges or even CDs (not the cricut software the disks for other cutters). Maybe you don't have an extra $1 to spare, I understand completely and I am sorry  that your in that position. But unfortunately, just like you, I need to worry about me. If i had a great paying job (my old job) and my bills were all paid and i had extra money, well for one I wouldn't have the time to make the all the files I do and two I'd probably share more free because making a living wouldn't be a priority, but unfortunately I've been out of work for 3 yrs w/no pay or any social benefits because the gov't and lawyers have all refuse to help me even though in the 20 yrs I worked before becoming disabled, I paid into that system for if this day would ever come. Again, I'm just simply trying to explain, which i don't really have any obligation too, but i feel obligated to tell my followers. It wasn't an easy decision, knowing I'll probably loose alot of followers, but its a decision, I've made and one I'm willing to take the consequences with it.

So, if you've read thru all my crap and have stuck thru with me, Here is your reward, all the MTC files I am choosing to share for FREE, I am only keeping them up for 48hrs. to download and they will be removed. From This day forward I will have Freebies on MTC Mondays and they will only be free on Monday, by Tuesday the Freebie will no longer be Free. Beyond that you will need to email me for any Free files but it will need to be that week. On occasion, you may find other days I will have Free MTC files (and yes SVG too) those will too have the 24 hr download period and the one week to email me. If you've stumbled across this in the future and its past the week, I'm sorry you've read it all and get no reward, but I do hope you'll stick around for other free and Priced files. Thanks for listening (or should I say reading) and hope you understand.

The Links will no longer work after March 13th at midnight.
HOWEVER YOU CAN EMAIL ME UNTIL MARCH 20, 2011 FOR THE FILES

Thirsty for Digital Thursday

This Week, if you haven't noticed I missed most days posting. If you look at the date of this particular point you'll see its posted on Sat. and not Thursday. i do apologize for not posting on my regular days. Its been a tough week for me and each week is getting tougher. I am coming up on my 3rd anniversary of my malpractice incident and you'd think each year it would get easier but for me it gets harder and starts earlier. I think because I think of where I was then on this date 3 yrs ago and where I would have been if Dr. Daniel Davis didn't make a mistake and change my life and not in a way a Doctor is suppose to, but he did and he refuses to take responsibility for his actions, no it won't make my arm be all better, but it would make the financial part of all my medical bills I have and still encounter every month alot easier. In any case, I'm babbling away. If your interested in MY Story you can see my new Blog and Facebook Page I've decided to start here: BLOG  or FACEBOOK. I'd love to have your following support.


From This day forward I will have Freebies on Thirsty For Digital and they will only be free on Thursday, by Friday the Freebie will no longer be Free, sorry. Beyond that you will need to email me for any Free files but it will need to be within that week (so before the next Thursday Freebie). On occasion, you may find other days I will have Free Digital Stamps files, those will too have the 24 hr download period and the one week to email me. I will be updating my older posts with the disclaimer. Why you may ask? well, its pretty simple, everyone else is doing it too, so why not me too. I work really hard at converting these files and while some are my doodles from before my injury, I do have to also, pay my artist who hand draw all these cool, cute, fun awesome Images, they do not work for free. All of my Digital stamp files are test printed by me and the cost of even cheap paper adds up and that is money I don't have. On top of that, the time it takes to test print all my files is less time I have to do stuff for me, for my projects and working on my CFS cards. Yes, the ones that print fine i can use but there are many that don't. Many don't realize the sacrifice in my time, money and my hobby that it takes to make these. I do enjoy making them but time is money. So basically, it is a very hard decision I have made. You will have the opportunity to receive still free digital stamps its just a limited time frame.

Here are ALL the Digital Stamps I am sharing for FREE today:

These ones are all JPEG Files: Click on the picture to bring you to the download.

We Love CTMH Wednesday


This is in part a duplicate of what I have in Thrifty Tuesdays Post. This Week, if you haven't noticed I missed most days posting. If you look at the date of this particular point you'll see its posted on Sat. and not wednesday. I do apologize for not posting on my regular days. Its been a tough week for me and each week is getting tougher. I am coming up on my 3rd anniversary of my malpractice incident and you'd think each year it would get easier but for me it gets harder and starts earlier. I think because I think of where I was then on this date 3 yrs ago and where I would have been if Dr. Daniel Davis didn't make a mistake and change my life and not in a way a Doctor is suppose to, but he did and he refuses to take responsibility for his actions, no it won't make my arm be all better, but it would make the financial part of all my medical bills I have and still encounter every month alot easier. In any case, I'm babbling away. If your interested in MY Story you can see my new Blog and Facebook Page I've decided to start here: BLOG  or FACEBOOK. I'd love to have your following support.

Here and There and Everywhere

So much is happening here and there and Everywhere!  Its is tough these days is it not on keeping up with all thats going on in the Scrapbooking Blogging world? I find it harder everyday to keep up. Following new blogs and old blogs trying to be fresh and new here on my blog!
Here we have 3 New Design teams, new venture on my part having a Design Team let alone 3. Plus still in the works is my blog makeover. I'm also in several Blog Hops that have just happened and several upcoming! I am also venturing out into a New Blog that is "my Story" if you'd like to follow it HERE.  Its New and only has one post but am going to be more a Video on-line Journal.

I have New Digital Stamping from JJ's Designz that feature some of my old drawings and Two very talented artists one being my Neice Jennifer and my Brother Jay. See why we call it JJ's Designz!  I have a possible other artist I am working with to join in thugh her name doesn't begin with a J, but thats OK! Have you check out the latest Digi Stamps? NO? you should. The Design Team has some great Inspiration and theres always a Challenge the weeks my Design team Posts. they are awesome and every other Thursday and we are hoping for Every Thursday soon to be a New release of Digital Stamping and maybe even someday open a new line of Clear Arlic Stamps?! Watch for Thirsty for Digital Thursdays!  What a mouthful huh?!

I also, Have the Make The Cut Monday! Where my Design Team uses some of my files to create Inspiration for you. I also have MTC Files also available in SVG files too for sale and on Occassion some free files. I have been trying to fix any old files and get all my files in one place for Sale and One place for Free. Many Free Files will be a limited time only. Also, holding Challenges for you to enter with either the free or for sale files on the weeks with the Design Team. So be sure to check that out.

Design Team MTC Challenge

MTC Monday

Every two weeks on MTC (Make The Cut) Monday, I will have New MTC/SVG Files For Sale and One free file. On occasion, on other days I'll have other Files for sale or For Free so be sure to become a follower and stay up to date on what is happening here!  I have my MTC/SVG Files as "Collections"  I find it hard to find files when they are just one individual even in folders on my computer. When you purchase my Files you will find 15-25 images in each File. Once you have the files you can save them as you choose to.
However, do not share the files please send them here. You will have to resize each image, but ones that are "layered Images" are layered together and "colored, So you'll select all of those to resize together. I'll have a tutorial on that soon. I do have a Video Tutorial on the "borders Collections" I have for today and How to resize should you Purchase the files. The "free" Border File is already "Sized" for you.

Don't have MTC (Make The Cut) yet? You may want to consider getting it with Cricut Cartridges going up in prices!
What you haven't heard about Cricut Cartridges going up in price? yes, in this hard times of recession they have raised their prices to not only on their sites but also to retailers too. You maybe able to still find a few deals for awhile but I would consider buying MTC or if not SCAL
For Info about MTC check it out by clicking the picture below
or to Purchase the User Friendly Software click this picture below and Already the Savings Code is in there! $58.36 for the software! Considering How much you spend on ONE Cartridge Not a bad deal, when for nothing you can add most any true type font to cut right away.

You can Also check out Lettering Delights for SVG Files and also get 9 Free fonts just look off to your left on my blog and click the correct blinkies to bring you there. Or just wait til I upload my Files. I have alot coming soon. I'll be updating my Free ones and ones I have for Sale come back daily to check. Become a follower while your at it so you can keep up with all the happenings around here!

The MTC Design Team were given the Collection of Files and they chose the border(s) of their choice to do their Inspirational projects for you. be sure to click on their pictures to go to their blogs and Follow them and also, see more details and maybe leave them a lil love. We all love reading comments and So does my Design Team.

 


Here are the 3 Border Files 

Border Collection 1

Border Collection 2


Collection Borders Fancy

Sorry Freebie Has Expired

Check For $ale Tab or My Etsy Store for Possible Purchase

You may use my files for personal use and for use on items you make to sell. however you may NOT use my files to sell yourself or to share with anyone. Please send them to my blog, even for the Free ones but especially for the ones that are for sale.
If you share my files that are for sale that is stealing, as this is one of the few ways I can earn a living. Its not fair to me, other designers who also sell their files or our families who depend on our hard work.You may wonder well, its only $2.50, well that $2.50 pays for one child's meal in my house and I have 3. Also, if 10 people do that is adds up to $25.00 real quick. how would you feel If I stole from you? anyone knows how tough times are My family & I most certainly do.

Here is my video Tutorial on How to use MY Border Files in MTC
I do NOT own SCAL or any other software to use SVG files in other than MTC with The Cricut. Sorry
