Ok, So I got a LITTLE carried away...

Hey ya all, I just wanted to share with you some of the projects I have been working on... I am a host of a stamp'n up workshop later today. I wanted to give some door prizes out (what a good idea to get rid of some of my projects, right? lol ) so anyway I have wrapped about 6 bags of candies with these great files from where else than SVGCUTS.com ... I used the Party on Elm Street and Caramel Apple Pie SVG Kit to create most of these goodies. Well I am sure you want to see pictures so here they are...



Ok so I fouled my family too...it's ALL made with paper!!!



This picture do no
justice to the great
Lantern, fun fun





this is just so darling, I know I can make more pretty fast and they are really easy



Here's the Candy all wrapped up and ready to go....





a little of everything....



With all that, I think I better get some sleep before I have to get up and do just a few more things...I could keep going for hours, I just love SVGCUTS.com files... There is a new FREE set and it's Christmas... OMG its already for that again...

Oh yeah I also got a chance to use the stampables from Punkin Patch Stamps, yeah one of those 'had to have' kind of things...I really like the stamps.. I can see me buying more in the future, and I am not a big stamp crafter, but I like the words a phrases they have put together... and then added a svg cut to use ... I cut the paper then I was able to use a clear stamp block to see  the cut image and stamp right there... awsome!!!

Enjoy your weekend everyone...and I won't be posting a MyGrafico on Monday due to all this stuff.

So check back by soon for more from MyGrafico DT... until then  ....

TTFN!!!

Halloween Treat Bags with a MyGrafico file

Happy Monday!!!

I know I say that every Monday, but it's going to be a good week...

Getting ready for all those little trick or treader's...oh and I live in da'Hood of Holbrook, so I don't get many kiddos. I guess that can be a good thing, cuz otherwise I would have to start these little treats 2 years in advance (well in the last house I lived in anyway)

So this weeks DT Challenge is to use this SVG file, and you all should know by now this is my favorite type of file that I can work with, I am starting to like the digi world but it's taking sometime to learn when I am doing it all on my own...oh and with CS5 Photoshop...

Shery K Desings

created this fun file....

And I made them into THIS





 And This

So fun and So easy... used some Shapes from the Shapes Library in SCAL2, to create the eye's, nose and mouth cut in black...Used the handy Crop-A-Dial and some ribbon and green pipe cleaners... some added touches with some black pen and white gel writer...
Added some candy and wha'la there you have a great little gift/treat bag...

Hope you enjoyed this, hop on over to the MyGrafico Blog Challenge and see what the other DT members made as well as maybe you could join in the challenge...so check it out...
Leave some love if you like what you see...

Halloween Goodies

Hey, I have something fun to post...and can you guess what it is?  heehee

Oh yeah you know it...It's a new file from SVGCUTS.com (where else)

It is so much fun to make these little treats, the only think that I have found to be a problem, is that the open path in my SCAL2 is not working... If any of my followers knows what I am doing wrong. Pah Pah Pah Please let me know so that I can do it the easier way(the way it's laid out in the file by Mary and Leo)

 I know HOW CUTE are these? It's the mini candy bars with wrappers and a topping... then I added the great old fashion Tissue paper Sucker Ghosts...I was really amazed the other day when I showed my co-worker the ghosts and she had NEVER seen that before.

So if you are one of those peps...here is how its done...

You get any round sucker (I used the mini TootisePops) and cut squares of either tissue paper of even facial tissue if you want (it's already cut for you) put the sucker in the middle and pull it over the top... Then I used baby hair elastics, that's what I had on hand, I later got some clear/white ones and they look about the same, I cannot decide if I like the black over the clear but if you see in the 2nd picture the ghost to the far right has a clear one and the ghost in the picture on the left has the black one... you choose... and let me know which one you think looks better...

I used the Party on Elm Street SVG Kit for this project... I even made the very cute cauldron but I forgot to get pictures before I took it to work...duh how silly is that, make something and not show it off on my Blog, what was I even thinking...lol

I even ordered some stamps for the newest company that Mary and Leo has started Pumkin' Patch Stamps  and if you act now the This Link takes you to a FREE set of svg's for the  Trick or Treat Stamp Set , and you bet your booty that I set myself up on that one too!! but I just could not stop there I just 'had to' have more ... I felt bad getting so much from Mary and Leo for FREE,

as in; on their SVGCUTS Blog they have a FREE svg about every week... then if you spend $9.98 or more at the SVGCUTS.com store you can get the latest and greatest  (within a certain time frame) Set FREE. Right now it's the Party on Elm Street and you have til Sunday Oct. 23 to get the FREE gift...

Check out the details Here and it will show you just how to do it!!!

Ok so a lot of Blah Blah Blah... no, I think it's great info if you don't already know about it...

Watch for Monday's MyGrafico Post....It is soooo cute I just cannot hardly wait to share...

Have yourselves a Great rest of the weekend...

I hope to post a bit more in the future so watch for me...

TTFN

(Tah Tah for Now, if you did not know heehee)

It's Been Just TOO Quiet here, so sorry

I just wanted to say 'Hi' to you all...

I don't have much to say but I would like to show you a few things that I made using SVGCUTS.com files, OMG they are just amazing!!! Leo and Mary, the everything they are, good customer service, great files, oh I just could go on for days, but I will spare you, cuz if you have had chance to use their files you know what I am talking about...

Oh well crap...I was going to show you the cute candies that I made and took a picture of before work this morning but my puter is having difficulties...so no pictures of that....I will have to share those later...

Oh and the State Fair photos are also too big to share, I need to edit them too...

Oh I guess this means I have to do some crafting til the hubby can get my puter back to normal, if there is such a thing when you have a computer geek for a husband(and would have no one else in his place, he is the worlds greatest)

Well, I guess I will just have to keep you all in some more suspense with my State Fair Projects...Ok, so I did get 1 Honorable Mention ribbon, and a 4th place and a 3rd place and a ....... yeah I got a 1st place blue ribbon on this....



This is the Picture taken at the Navajo Co. Fair, that I later sent to the Arizona State Fair and got a Blue ribbon...how cool is that?
If you did not know already it the Gingerbread house that is mine, not the bunny....lol

So I will get my hubby to work on my computer tomorrow I hope then I promise to post more pictures soon...

Off to crafting, I have my DT project for MyGrafico to post on Monday that I need to work on...

Good day, Katie - KtsAngels.Blogspot.com

I Have been a bit quiet!! but a New MyGrafico Project anyway!!!

Hey, I have been a bit quiet lately sorry... Life is getting in the way of my crafting... but I still have an obligation for MyGrafico. So with that being said, I love my obligation, but some of them are really challenging to get something out, but yet they give me plenty of time to do each project. Well anyway Blah blah blah, you want to me to get down to the project for this weeks Challenge 113 Baby Shower...

Well it came out a bit simple. I made one of my few cards that I make!!! 

Use this MyGrafico file 

I thought this could make a really fun gift card holder or an invite for the mommy to be to go on a shopping spree!!!

Hello everyone

Happy Monday!! 

(at least I have the day off due to the state holiday and I am a full time state employment)

So with that being said I hope that next week you will get to see my project a little earlier.

You can also get to the challenge 113 Baby Shower

and enter your own project for this file !!!

New Design Team Project For MyGrafico...

I know, I know, I have been a bit quiet, and I know I say that ALLOT, but it's been crazy... My hubby got a job and things just went crazy... So with that being said, I did manage to get this next set 'OUT OF THE BOX"...

I know I just spilled the beans for my friend, but it's in the mail soon...LOL..Anyway with that here is the file we were given to work with...

Here is a direct link to purchase these stamps

So I took these stamps and learned how to color them with my computer software, that took some time, but I did it. I like what it did, anyway after many attempts of coloring these stamps (which I hope I did it right ) .LOL.. I reversed the image and this is what I got!!

This just 1 of the many stamps that come in this kit, to color just the way you like it.






Here is what I did with these stamps!!!



I think this is "OUT OF THE BOX'  kind of project, what do you think?

Well, I hope every one starts their day with a smile...

Happy Monday....

Best of thoughts for today and the rest of the day!

Thanks for stopping by
Katie

MyGrafico Design Team Project of the Week!

It's MONDAY !!!!

Let's start the day off right !!!

Have good happy crafty mojo thoughts !!!

Ok, so I have been a bit quiet lately, so sorry, I have just had so much going on (like most of us do) but my doctors are changing my medications and that is always so hard on anybody, but its really had when you have to fight with your insurance companies to pay for med's that you doctor orders, and if find that it is not working they way it was intended too....'whatever' has become my attitude lately. I just can put up the fight and work full time and keep up with my crafts.

This Week's Digi Stamp for Halloween !!!



MyGrafico



But crafting is what helps me through most of this crap ... so I continue to craft ...

I came up with this really cute project for this weeks MyGrafico Design Team

I again learning how to use

Digi Stamps

I like how this turned out,

It took a few tries on the

size but once I got is rolling

OMG !!! did it get rolling

I think I am going to make them for my

daughters class room, oh and maybe for

my few tricker~or~treater we get in my

neighborhood  !!! LOL

We did at one time in our lives, get really

into the Halloween spirit, I can remember the year that we had our big picture window with rear projecting on so that the kids would come to our house to watch them move and stay, the older kids liked it too, cuz the little kids did not get the candy, they did... But now that we live in a different house we don't get that many, besides our kidos are just at the age that they would rather go with their friends, then be home handing out candy with mom and or dad...   







Well, back to crafting...

Please hop on over to the other DT members to see how they used these digi stamps,

I am sure you will find some good uses for this great set !!!

I used some plain white card stock from the must have pile of papers, I printed the digi stamps on the paper and cut them to the width that I was looking for, I found the center of the page and went back 1/2 in  and scored then the other way from center and scored, giving a 1 inch flat bottom. I used a topper from SVGCUTS.com cut it to width and length I needed. I used a baggy to fill and put a crop-a-dile to work and make a couple of holes to put the ribbon/fibers through...and there you have it!! a Treat Bag....

Arizona State Fair !!!

So, as you all know by now, I did really good in the open class crafts at the Navajo County Fair this last week. Well I was chatting with my old hair dresser, who happens to be 'over' the open class division, and she suggested that I send some of my items to the State Fair ???? OMG
Can you even believe this? Please someone come pinch me (oh the bills are here so not worries about pinching me... No, really for my first time EVER entering anything in to competition, other than the SVGCUTS.com forum and maybe some Design Team Projects, but this.... WOW ... I am really having a hard time thinking that my work is 'good enough' for the State Level... well so I forwarded 4 of my projects...

Should I tell you or should I make this a guessing game for the whapp'n 40 followers and/or visitors? I just think this could be fun to see what people thought of my paper crafting... so with that.

So if you choose to leave me a comment as to what projects I sent to the Arizona State Fair,

then I will find some blog candy to put together and send it your way.

So you will need to pick 4 of the 9 Items or maybe it was 10 items,

anyway and leave a comment, with an email for web/blog address or something that I can let you know if you got it right!!!!

Just how ever you feel comfortable with leaving would be great...

I will NOT give the answers til October 14, as this is the opening day for the State Fair...

Leave a comment even if you don't want to participate, just let me know you came by and if you have any requests for ideas or interested in anything I do...Please just leave me a note/comment and I will get back with you. so 

REMEMBER 

4 of the 9 items

made for the county fair

&

Let me know who you are !!!

Well, its been a long day so I'm off to bed for the night, I hope to get back on my feet soon.

This morning about 7:30 my daughter opens my bedroom door and asks "Isn't Monday? Cuz it's 7:30 and we have to leave for the bus in like....NOW....so needless to day, I have played catch up ALL day... even though I was not technically late for work, just scatter brained all day... You have got to know what I am talking about...? so with all the Fair stuff out of my hands, I hope to get some R&R for a few days, well til next Monday....Look for the Design Team Challenge...I'll give you a hint...it's a bout the holiday coming up...

Ok, that's it for now... later  !!!!

MyGrafico Feature File for Sept.19

Hey everyone, I hope your weekend was great !!! As you can see in the prior posts, I had an AWESOME weekend. With the County Fair behind me, and looking at putting a couple of my entries to the Arizona State Fair, life is good and a bit crazy !!! I am not sure that I would have it any other way, ok maybe some changes, but for the most part I have it pretty good ...

Well between the fair and blog posting and family, I still made the time to complete this weeks Design Team Feature file for MyGrafico ...

Late Summer Dress Up Girls by Znowflake Design

24 Graphics to mix and match so you can create multiple combinations...the options are just about endless !!!

I just love the colors of the dresses, and the 'bling' is just out right fun !!

Now for what I made from this group of graphics ...

credit for the dresser goes to SVGCuts.com
Paper used is AC Patterned Paper  "Teen"
Scrap from the stash, a piece of black card stock
& a pearl accent from Michael's Recollections collection 

 I will admit that my scissors were dusted off to cut these girls. I worked so many hours on trying to get Inkscape to create an svg so that I could use my cutter & SCAL, but I think if I would have dusted the scissors off sooner this project would have been done in a flash... 

Lesson learned, don't be afraid to go back in time and use the handy old fashion cutting tool, scissors !!!! lol

This also adds to my 'need' of a different cutter, The Black Cat Cougar, pennies have to add up before I get to dive into this 'need' !!  hee hee

I would love to hear what you think of this project. I will say that digital images are fairly new to me, so I am pretty excited to make a creation from them. There is defiantly a learning curve, and this gives a different,  new look to my paper crafting craze.

With that 

Happy Monday !! 

(remember: happiness is what we make of it)
