Welcome.
This is a work in progress. I wanted somewhere to post images of my craft work, mainly created using my cricut machine and their cartridges or SCAL. Both have made my crafting a real joy. Feel free to look around.

If you have any questions on how I have made anything here, please feel free to email me or post a comment at the bottom right of this page and I will happily try to help you.

You are welcome to download or copy any images, but if you submit the design anywhere, please either change the design or give me original credit.

Enjoy!

Update:
I have started a new blog for my garden and home as it was taking over my craft blog a bit.To get to the garden blog just click on the button below and it will take you there - like magic!

My Dad's Birthday

Today is my dad's birthday so here is the card I made him.


I took the inspiration for it from a post on the Cricut message board by KatesaCraftyBugger
http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=4016711


Kate cuts the spaces around the letters by hand but I wanted my cricut machine to do it all for me if I could so I made it in Inkscape and imported it into SCAL for cutting. Using the shadow feature in Inkscape gave me the different thicknesses of the letters. I then put a rectangle page at the end for a message. I used my 12 x 24 inch mat and paper so was able to cut it all out of one piece of card - each letter was about 6 x 4 inches in size - just fitted into a standard envelope.

This is a wonderful card, do you have the cutting file for it? If you do, I would really love to have it.
Thanks so much for showing us your lovely work.
