Name Book

By


I posted this on the forum at Paperthreads in their new gallery. Don’t forget to check it out. I made this for my friend Raquel and she seemed to like it. Thought I would share it here. The possibilities are never ending when it comes to the cutter. I got this idea off the UK scrapbookers website and knew it was perfect right away for a birthday gift. Her name is spelled out on the right hand side of the book in large puffy letters.
Enjoy!

Tulips, Spring Flowers

By

Okay first I must say. How awesome the wonderful comments posted here have been. I love it. I have been reading through them and working on lots of files. It is wonderful.

Here is a bouquet of tulips. So the words should cut out of the “green” word mat in one piece because I linked the centers of letters to the mat. the green stems have the shape of the tulip heads in it, but I included some additional pieces to make the flower heads a different color.This file has hit its download limit is no longer available,but you can purchase the file HERE. Thank you for looking. For Personal Use Only! PW is still easter.

Enjoy!

Helmet

By

Okay So I think this is my last freebie of the racing files. I am going to post the others I have directly to Paperthreads. This is a simple helmet. Nothing fancy. Two pieces overlayered. the bottom one is a solid helmet shape. the top has the red cut out. This way we can get on to another topic of files.This link is no longer available, but may be purchased HERE! This is for personal use only. Please do not alter share or claim as your own.

PS My son is doing better. Hanging out and driving me bonkers as I try to get this file uploaded. Anything he can do to distract me to focus on what he is doing. This is why the file is simple tonight. No time to make a clever verbage. Hope it is useful.

Pit Crew, Flag, Tire, Words & Mat

By


Lots of Requests on the Groups for Racing Files. So I did a few. This file is no longer available for download, but will be available for purchase at www.paperthreads.com soon. For Personal Use only. PW is the same as the last time. Please do not alter, change or claim files as your own.
Also, you will notice a sample of cutlines on the pictures. I got a few emails that people asked me to post the cutlines so they could see better how the file could be used. I think this is what they were asking about. I don’t know if it will help or how long I will include it, but thought I would give a try and see what the response was. The mat in this file works if you layout all the pieces like I have here, but of course you can lay it out however your project needs.
After a long week of work, my hubby, my son and I are headed to the farmer’s market and to get hay for the horses. I look forward to the family drive. My son has had an allergic reaction to penicillin and is covered in hives. He seems to be in good spirits, but it is mostly just happy to hang out with Dad. It is cute. He asked me to buy doughnuts for breakfast to have with Dad. he is almost 3 and in charge of his world. So he thinks. Well off I go. Have a wonderful Saturday.
Enjoy!

Key To My Heart

By


So this started out as just Key To My Heart, but they have those Cadbury Easter items out , like the mini eggs, solid choclate in crisp shell, purple bag. hmmmmm.. and I just cannot help myself. Well I do, but man is it hard. So I added Chocolate with a mat to the orignal files. This file contains heart, key, Wording “Key To My Heart” and mat, and the word Chocolate and mat. My husband and my sons laughter are actually the keys to my heart. But Chocolate will work right now to. Password is easter. The download link is no longer available , but can be Purchased HERE. This is for personal use only! Enjoy!
