Sketchy Saturday for June 1st

I missed posting a sketch last week. Sorry about that. The end of school year is so busy, sometimes I feel its busier than the beginning of a school year. Plus, I'm still trying to get a good schedule going and its slowly coming together with a few hiccups along the way.

The Sketch for last Saturday was also Scrapsome Design Team Challenge. Maybe, take a moment and check out some of the previous challenges, if you haven't already, and this challenge too at their Facebook Page HERE.

Scrapsome Design Team First Challenge Snips & Snails 3 of 3 Projects

As you may (or may not) have seen my past two post (three really) of the products I received from Scrapsome to do my DT Challenge which was to do anything! I just LOVE the Kids paper Doodle Bug "Snips & Snails" and the Bazzil Cardstock plus the cardstock Stickers!

I was flooded with so many things to do! If you missed the Mini Pocket Album I made and Posted you can check it out HERE and if you missed the Coordinating Card check it out HERE

Of course with any gift and a Card, what do you need?
A Bag or Box, of course!

I haven't mad one of these in so long! I came across a whole punch of these Clear Acrylic Pillow Boxes that I've had for quite some time. I remember at a Scrapbook Expo in CA I want to say it was the 2nd one I went to. There was a booth that had these as a Make n Take. It was a smaller one and for a Birthday. I of course made mine to coordinate with and Hold the Card and Mini Album I made.

Start with the Clear Acrylic Pillow Box
You can make one out of Paper or Cardstock too

You cut a 4" x 12" Strip from your choice of Paper.
Wrap around the Pillow Box and adhere the edge
that laps over the other edge of paper.

Then you cut a 4" x 4" (or size of your choice)
as you can see I missed measured and cut short so I made do with what I did.
You adhere the Square down after you ink or distress the edges, if you choose.

Next, you cut a 3.5" x 3.5" Square, round the corners if you like.
Ink or Distress the edges of the paper, if you want to.
Then adhere it to the bigger square that is already adhered down.

This is where you Choose to decorate for your Theme and Style.
I used the Doodle Bug Paper Snips n Snails Print that had Borders of Clothesline with baby items.
I cut/trimmed out another Clothesline, added adhesive to the back
and wrapped it around the Pillow Box.

I then started adding the Paper House "Born To Be Wild" Cardstock Stickers.

Scrapsome Design Team First Challenge Snips & Snails 1 of 3 Projects

When I saw the Designed Doodle Bug Paper, I was so excited! I was flooded with so many things to do! I just had a new nephew born in March and haven't made anything for the parents or baby or his Big Brother yet! I was running out of time and had to get making something! The first thing i made was a simple Mini pocket Album! Its small enough to carry around in your purse or Diaper Bag.

I tried making a video but just kept getting interrupted or messing up the measurements. so a video will be coming soon, the past 2 days were bad arm days and doing a video on major pain meds, not sure if it would be funny or just plain embarrassing plus I slept most of the 2 days away. I had my post pre-written, hoping that on Monday I was going to get the video done but like I said I haven't. But I also am working on a cut-file with several "designs" for this mini Album simply because I know for me (and maybe its just me & my brain that can't seem to get the measurements scored properly. So, those will come along with the video, fingers crossed later this week as I need to test cut them before I share! I had to wing the measurements because I found this adorable mini album on Pintrest but the blog no longer existed :(.

Don't you just hate when that happens!? I know I do, or when it brings you to the main blog and not the post because it wasn't pinned properly. Which reminds me I want to do a tutorial on how to "Pin" a great "Pin" properly so you don't have to go searching a blog most times unsuccessfully and wasting more time trying to find the post nevermind the time spent on Pintrest "Pinning" and finding more and more stuff to "pin" LOL!

Blah-Blah-Blah! Here is what you came here to see; the pics of the adorable Mini Album!

MTC/SVG Monday

Good Afternoon, sorry I forgot to get my post ready early and scheduled. I was a bit pre-occupied with my dr. appt. I had today. I had an injection, known as a nerve block, which I have had done before and not so successful. Never mind the fact that my original injury was caused by an injection and creating a complete and utter fear of needles. Though, I am home and the procedure is done and went well w/out any issues and not feeling any undue pain like the last one. Time will tell if it works, as of right this minute my arm feels great from the lidocaine but that will be wearing off soon :( but hopefully the other meds he injected will kick in and it will do its job for hopefully for a least a week, a month would be wonderful, a couple months would be better but I'm keeping my expectations low. However, my files for today I hope meet your expectations!

Meet the cute and furry or not so furry Halloween Monsters, Which don't necessarily need to be used just for Halloween as they are generic but absolutely adorable (i think anyways). For the .zip file which contains both the MTC and SVG Files in the one and a color picture of the monsters is just $2 for all 7 of the silly cute monsters. (most other sites charge $1 up to $4 for just one character).

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

MTC is all in one file and each layer is a different color

SVG is in several files in order to fit all the pieces and there is a color Picture which hopefully helps for the different layers.

I wish I knew how to export from Make the Cut to a SVG file in color and in the multi layer like MTC does?

Is that possible or does SVG files just not work that way?

DESIGN TEAM INSPIRATION

Please head over to the Design Team Blogs and see more on their awesome inspirational work. They work just as hard on their projects as I do on making the files and I know the'd love some lovin'. Even if you just checked one of the boxes under their posts about how you feel. It only takes a minute to put a smile on someone's face. Thanks
