Print and Cut

2010-04-20T05:51:00.000-07:00

I am asked a lot how to use the print and cut feature on the Silhouette. Nichol Magourik is a designer for the Silhouette and post a lot of great ideas. She has a tutorial on her blog for the print and cut. This weekend I will be doing a make and take from 2-4 at The Scrapbook Page featuring the Rhinestones. Hope you have a good day.

Heat Transfer

2010-04-01T16:46:00.001-07:00

So yes I am still here. I have been crazy busy. I have been cleaning out 12 years of accumulation out of our house, and it feels good. I have to say I love the new heat transfer and the rhinestones from Silhouette. So, I keep getting asked how do you do all this cool stuff so I added a new class.

Silhouette 104 Take your Silhouette to the next level. Learn how to design and create your own gifts using Silhouette's funnest toys - rhinestones, heat transfer, print and cut, vinyl and etching. The Silhouette class you've been begging for is here! Oooh - this will be sooo much fun!!!**Prerequisite: Silhouette 101 & 102**Thurs - June 10th - 630-830pm Fee: $20.00.

I am very excited about this new class. Also, to let you know I will be taking a leave of absence from teaching from September to January. So, if you have been wanting to take my classes or need to come in for some extra help after you have taken my classes, you need to do so soon.

So, hopefully I will not wait so long to blog next time.

We have a vinyl obsession

2009-12-13T17:44:00.000-08:00

If you have been into the store then you know we have an obsession with vinyl. So do our customers. I have included the ornaments we did in the store. Also, included is our customer Kathleen's Car. She changes it often. Also, in January we will start carrying yellow, orange and purple vinyl. We also begin to carry 12 inch wide vinyl as well. Have a good day and sorry it's been a while since I last blogged. I almost have my entry done on what blade cap and depth to use for different paper types.

A few layouts(Disney of course)

2009-10-21T16:26:00.000-07:00

Someday I will finish our Disney albums. It is taking longer because I am making two at once. I decided rather than trying to keep our books in day order I would go with park order.

For Sea World I used the lighthouse from the Silhouette and went to www.mydiecuts.com and found Shamu. Since I did it on the Silhouette I was able to lay them on the lght house and make them the correct size on he first try. For the entrance to Magic kingdom I used the Cricut expressions to make the big ears. For the entrance to Animal Kingdom I used the Cricut. I know I am a traitor. I used the tree on Stretch you imagination. For Epcot center I just bought the reminisce paper that all ready looks like the entrance and just cut it with my circle cutter. For Hollywood Studios I used the party hat on the Silhouette and stretched it tall removed the ball on top. I then layed the stars and moon on the hat so they fit perfectly. On the opposite page i put a map of each park that I printed off of the computer. On the Disney site you can actually made customized maps of exactly what you did and the restaurants you ate at. I have more pics to post later. Have a good evening sorry it took me so long.

Harley Davidson Layout

2009-09-02T06:04:00.001-07:00

Alright I am back to blogging. This layout is from my trip to Disney with my dad. See a theme of what I am working on. I am trying to finish this book. So this is a cricut layout. The titling was done on the silhouette. I used the Going Places cartridge. The paper is the Harley Davidson line from EK Success. They sell it at the Scrapbook Page. I am doing one for myself but I am using the pink flames. If you are looking for traditional dies The Scrapbook Page is having a huge sale on them they range from $1.99 to $13.99. Have a good day!

Silhouete and Diana's blog

2009-08-08T07:10:00.000-07:00

Everyone has been asking when I am going to add a Silhouette 103. Well, my life is finally settling down. My sister got her new kidney this week. Thank you Ronda. (Her best friend gave her a kidney.) She is the best. Thank you everyone for your prayers. So, now I can learn ink scape. So in October I will be teaching how to import in your own images and the print and cut feature. I hope you all are having a good summer. I can't believe it's almost over. I am ready to go to the beach again. For the above card. Diana Foster who is a designer at the store. She made this card using the Quickutz metal and the cuddle bug embossing folders. (Which are 40% off right now.) I love this card. Their are a lot of examples of her work on her blog as well. You can check them out at http://www.designsbydiana.typepad.com/. Well, have a good day. I gotta run I have to work in the store today.

Sketching your images

2009-07-23T16:56:00.000-07:00

I have been really bad at blogging. This is because I have not been in my scrapbook room since June 20th. I think that is a record for me. I plan on working on Monday and Tuesday I have so much to do. I have to have my dad's book done by next Saturday. So, my dad was an awesome sport at Disney World and humored me by getting his picture taken with all of the characters. I decided instead of spending the money to buy all of the individual characters I would make my own. To make my layout I went to http://i-love-disney.com/downloads/disney-cartoon-fonts/. I found the characters. The next problem I encountered was they were too sketchy and would not cut. I then grabbed my handy pens and sketched them on the color of paper that coordinated with the character. (Have I mentioned I love my silhouette.) After they were done drawing, I did not move anything then clicked on the shadow button and then let it cut out. After they were cut out I then used my color pencils to color them in. My dad thought I drew them. So far this is one of my favorite Disney layout.

New Classes at The Scrapbook Page

2009-06-24T22:37:00.000-07:00

The July, August and September classes have been posted. So, go check them out at http://thescrapbookpageonline.com/. For all of you die cut machine owners you will want to check out Carolyn Grays Detailing your die cuts class. She really makes them pop off the page. The best part is she will cut the shapes for you. I am planning on taking it as well. The instructors love to use their own die cut machines so taking their classes can help inspire you to do more with your own machine. Well, have a good evening!

Aloha!

2009-06-23T22:44:00.000-07:00

Aloh a, I am on vacation. I went shopping today and found a cute store and they have a blog. Check it out. I got the hula girl stamp and the stencil so I can make the card. Have a good day! http://islandscrapbooking.blogspot.com

The replacement

2009-06-05T19:33:00.000-07:00

This layout was inspired by an idea I saw in Creating Keepsakes magazine. I could not resist. Brian got me a new car for Christmas so I had to scrap it of course. I had driven my old car for 8 years so it was bittersweet when I got my new car. To make this layout I did my titling on the silhouette of course. I used the going places cartridge on the cricut which is one of my favorites. For the photo mats if you zoom in and look I used black magic coordinations paper and I used an embossing folder and then sanded down to the blue. It gave it a lot of dimension.

Animal Kingdom

2009-06-03T16:42:00.000-07:00

I know I have been a bad blogger. However, I have been a really good scrapbooker. I have been very busy trying to make my Dad's scrapbook from my Disney trip. I have about 20 double page layouts, so I have a lot to post I just need to take pics. For the above layout I use both the Silhouette and the Cricut. The little jungle car was made on the silhouette. The animals were made on the Cricut as well as the title. I used Graphic 45, reminisce and coordination's paper this layout. I had a lot of fun making it. I have enjoyed making the Disney album it's such a change from my normal books. Have a good evening. I will post again soon,

Love the outdoors

2009-05-07T17:08:00.000-07:00

This layout is from Utah last October. Brian hiked up to the top of a mountain while I was at the retreat. Not something a klutz like me likes to do. I am getting excited in June to go to Hawaii and do my page on the beach. That's where I am the happiest. I am loving the great weather.

Megan's Disney Mini

2009-05-01T00:24:00.001-07:00

Hey, I just thought I'd share the mini book that fellow Page girl Megan made for me for my recent trip to Disney! She made the cover using the welding feature on the silouhette. That is my favorite new feature. Also, check out the store schedule she has some great mini book classes coming up. You can check out Megan at her blog http://www.bare-rosavert.blogspot.com or you can see her upcoming classes at The Scrapbook Page.

Transfer Tape and Embossing folders

2009-04-29T10:33:00.000-07:00

The long wait for transfer tape is over. We received it at The Scrapbook Page today. Rumor has it that I will receive blades Friday. I will post a cute Disney book that Megan Anderson made for my recent Disney trip later today. We also received the new embossing folders from Quickutz. They are $4.99. You can check them out at http://www.quickutz.com/qk2/new.aspx?gc=21. Have a good night.

Game Night

2009-04-19T17:39:00.000-07:00

O.K. so if you have not figured out yet I am a die cut junky. I use them on every layout. For this layout I used the dice on the silhouette and used them as little journal boxes. Hope you are having a good spring. Don't forget May 2, 2009 is National Scrapbook day. The store will be having a crop and lots of fun stuff going on in the store.

Silhouette Certification

2009-04-16T19:07:00.000-07:00

I talked to Brian at Quickutz today and they are now letting anyone do the silhouette certification. It's now called a tutorial. So if you go to the following link you can learn a lot about your silhouette. It's how I learned the more advanced functions on my silhouette. Have a good evening. http://www.silhouettemachine.com/training/

Flowers

2009-04-12T18:09:00.000-07:00

Hope you had a good Easter. We had our family over it was crazy. Lot's of good stuff for some future layouts. Hopefully we get some more spring weather. I can only get my tulips to open up if I bring them in the house where it's warm. My above layout is from last mother's day. I mad the tree with three full pages of flowers and a tree from the silhouette. I took me longer to glue them down then it did to cut them out but it looks great. The scalloped circle is also from the silhouette. Well, I have a good evening! I added a little bling to my website. Because, you can never have too much bling.

Dorothy and her peeps

2009-04-10T05:15:00.000-07:00

Yes, peeps were harmed for this project. My husbands work had a contest to decorate peeps. So my sister who can do all things crafty pitched in and made this super cute Wizard of Oz characters. Well, have a Happy Easter!

Easter Inspiration

2009-04-09T07:13:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter! Today my layouts are from Carolyn Gray and Barbara Spade. The top one is Carolyn's she used the silhouette with the spring portfolio CD. Carolyn designs and teaches at The Scrapbook page. The second one is from Barbara Spade and she used the Quick Kutz Easter border, chick and egg border dies. Don't forget to go to the www.scrapbookpage.blogspot.com and vote for your favorite Reminisce Easter layout. Also, don't forget The Page has all of their alphabets buy one get one free. Have a good Day inspiration

Hogle Zoo Utah

2009-04-05T17:45:00.000-07:00

These pictures are from our trip to Utah for the Quickutz retreat. I used wallet size photo and a five by seven. For the die cuts I used the Animal Kingdom cartridge on the Cricut. Yes, you are correct I now have the Cricut expressions. I still love my silhouette and the fact that I don't have to have all the cartridges. For titling and getting things these exact size on the first cut. This page could be done with the silhouette. Have a good day!

Eat at Mo's

2009-04-05T14:53:00.000-07:00

This was one of the first pages I did on my silhouette. When we were in San Fransisco we found a little hamburger restaurant called Mo's. It was yummy. So I made a 6 inch hamburger to fill the space. Their was a dog outside who wanted to eat at Mo's.

You're such a Hoot

2009-03-29T08:43:00.001-07:00

I wanted to use this owl from the moment they released it in October. At Christmas one of our nephews was playing in a cloths hamper. When I tried to take his photo he turned his head, when I told him I would keep his presents I got a cheesy smile. The owl is a Quickkutz download and then I used one of the branches. I removed the cutout eyes and used googly eyes instead. Well, I am off to teach class. Have a good day!

Random shapes

2009-03-29T08:18:00.001-07:00

We had snow yesterday, so I took photos of all of my layouts for my blog. The top two photos are a cupcake from the Block Party portfolio CD. After I cut it out I used the cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the top with swirls and then I used sparkly embossing powder. For the bottom of the cupcake I used the crimper. The next one is just a cute little snow hat. I have another layout that I need to fix but I used the top of the hat and made it into a meatball. Julie Case used it as an egg last week for a recipe divider. For the pizza, I used the shapes on the side of the silhouette and then used the scallop circle and topped it with little pepperonis. After it was done I cut the pizza crust so it looked tossed. I designed it on the screen by layering it so I could get the proportions correct. So, that is all for this post. I am going to add some more layouts in a minute.

What's a Cuttlebug?

2009-03-24T18:33:00.001-07:00

So I was asked what a cuttle bug is. It is a machine similar to the bigshot that you can emboss or die cut with. If you look at the birthday layout that has the nubers on the side, I embossed it with the cuttlebug and then inked it. I will be teaching a class in May and June on the differences in the die cut machines and how to use them. Which is the perfect class for me the tool junky. If you go to http://www.thescrapbookpageonline.com/ you can checkout all of the latest classes. I have several Silhouette 101 and 102 classes. I have seen the other instructors layouts and they are all super cute. Tomorrow I will try to post a new layout. Have a good evening.

Comment Moderation

2009-03-18T18:49:00.000-07:00

Thank you to everyone who has sent me comments. I just learned today when I was editing a post that I have to look at the comments for them to post. My husband said look you have 5 comments. So sorry it took me so long to post your comments.

Spring layout

2009-03-18T16:26:00.000-07:00

Spring is getting closer. Yesterday it was 80 degrees here. I love spring! This layout is a day in our yard last summer. The birds are the birds a calling from the 12 days of Christmas on the silhouette. The little flower I sketched. I love sketching things it gives it a real handmade look. I really need to take some more photos I am running out of layouts on my computer. I also need to scrapbook. I am going to the Omaha Zoo tomorrow. So I will have more pictures to scrapbook. I am so far behind. Well, have a good evening.

Science Layout

2009-03-11T11:30:00.000-07:00

Good afternoon! I used the above layout of my husband and nieces doing science experiments. My sisters oldest daughter loves science just like my husband. The beaker is from the quickutz website of course. For my nieces birthday party my sister made slime and put them in test tubes and then used the Little beakers to put the instructions on. They were super cute. Well have a good day.

Birthday layout

2009-03-04T12:46:00.001-08:00

This page layout is a very simple. I used the Happy Birthday title from Block party. I have used it on every birthday layout this year. I then used ultra think embossing powder and embossed the happy birthday. When you see the layout in person it looks like vinyl. Well that is all I am going to post for today. I still have some more layouts to post. It will probably be next week.

Brian's Birthday

2009-03-04T12:40:00.000-08:00

Here is a layout I love. I used the cuddle bug numbers embossing folder and then inked it on the paper on the sides. For the celebrate and the 35 I used the block party portfolio cd. I love the cd's the rumor is they are going to quit carrying them.(QK has not confirmed this.) However, we still have some at the Scrapbook Page.

carving pumpkins

2009-03-04T12:32:00.000-08:00

O.K. so I am way behind on my scrapbook. Last fall I went to pumpkin patch with my sister and the girls. So, for the first time in a long time we decided to carve pumpkins. Mainly because I wanted fried pumpkin seeds. We still had fun. The frame that the fall art is on is from the QK web site it is frame 1025. And the jack o' lantern is pumpkin 802. I just removed the vines.

Free font websites

2009-03-04T06:45:00.000-08:00

Good morning! Everyone keeps asking me where you can find Disney characters to cut. A few weeks ago a customer showed me some tree dingbats she had cut out that she found on refont.com. They are really cool. They also have Hello Kitty and Mario Brothers just to name a few. So, I went on the hunt for Disney and after several days of searching google I hit the jackpot. i-love-disney.com/downloads/disney-cartoon-fonts. When you go to cut them if you first weld them then you are able to ungroup them so you can get your layered looks. Well, have a good day! I may post some layouts later today.

2009-02-25T19:04:00.000-08:00

My new scrapbook room

2009-02-25T18:51:00.000-08:00

After a month of taking everything out of my scrapbook room and redoing it. I am finally done, and I love it. I made the little birds on the silhouette of course. They are actually in a frame. The shelf on the wall is the Making Memories embellishment center. In my white cabinet I have used the vertical storage by cropper hopper. (We sell it at the page and the embellishment center.) I love having everything at my fingertips. I can get more done. If you looked closely their is a Cricut expression. What can I say we are now selling them and I am a tool junky. (soon I will have layouts with both machines. Onto other news we now have the Silhouette SD. The Scrapbook Page is selling it for $229.99 with a free 6 month download card and glass etch. I have cut with it and it works like the old one. I have not saved anything yet. In case you were wandering I will still be teaching classes on the original silhouette. It may be on the shelf but I have not abandoned it.

The New Silhoutte SD is arriving

2009-02-25T05:33:00.000-08:00

Today is the day the silhouette SD arrives. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I know it works a lot like the old one. But what can I say I am a tool junky and love a new tool. The above layout is from my husbands company Christmas party. They had a white elephant exchange I cut my elephant out of white paper and inked him. I then cut out wreath on the Jingle portfolio cd. I sized it on the elephant when I had him on the screen so it looks right. I will soon be posting pictures of my scrapbook room makeover. I used vinyl on my walls and it turned out cute. I now feel like I can be creative in my space.

Half price subsricption for the silhouette

2009-02-18T16:25:00.000-08:00

If you use the code Scrapbook Page (you must have the space) you can get 1/2 price on any subscription. However, you can't use your existing download cards to pay for it. Have a great evening.

Well, I am off to scrapbook have a good evening.

Software download and download subscription

2009-02-17T17:05:00.000-08:00

I spoke to Brian today and for those of you who can no longer see what's in your library here is the answer: We apologize that you are presently unable to see the images in your library. In order to resolve this issue, we would direct you to close the ROBO Master software and save the following files to your computer:http://www.quickutz.com/support/PortfolioImages.zip http://www.quickutz.com/support/50Images.zip I spoke to my rep. and Friday I will have a code for you to use to subscribe to the unlimited downloads for 1/2 price.

The New Silhouette Download

2009-02-16T07:14:00.000-08:00

As many of you may have figured out the new download takes about 6 - 9 hours. Quickutz is closed today so I can't get any answers until tom. It is also taking away the photos of the portfolio cd's on some customers libraries. I will post tomorrow as soon as I have an answer to these silhouette questions. However, on a positive note the welding and matting is awesome and super easy to use. Have a good day!

Summer Layout

2009-02-15T06:17:00.000-08:00

I am finally posting a layout. Our nephew always wants to go boat when he is at Poppie's house. For this layout I used the Summer portfolio cd. It has the shadows for the letters. For the wave I stretched it and pulled it longer. I then used stickles to make the fireworks. If you have not already updated your software it is now available. It took mine 9 and 1/2 hours to load. However, the word welding is so super easy. You can also weld your images. This would have been nice when we made the penguin he would have feet. Hope you had a good Valentines Day. Well, I am off to teach my 102 class. I will add some more layouts soon.

Valentines Cards

2009-02-11T15:30:00.001-08:00

So my nieces decided to make valentines of their favorite things. So we used the silhouette to make an 8 inch penguin and then we goosebumped the heart with the revolution swirls die and then we used googly eyes. She is very pleased with it.(Besides googly eyes make everyone happy.)

My other niece decided to use the sizzix Hello kitty die. Hers is a treat box we attached them to Embellishment Essentials boxes by Cropper Hopper. She then filled them with Skittles. They would also make super cute party favors. I promise that soon I will add layouts. I finally figured out where my imported photos are. Yes, I am computer challenged.

Princess Birthday decorations

2009-01-26T06:18:00.000-08:00

My neighbor and I did decorations for her daughters 4th birthday party on the silhouette. We used vinyl on the door to put Happy Birthday and a tiara. For the Tiara we used stickles and jewels. For her banner we used the princess and the knights cut out of paper. We added stickles to the princess and used silver metallic paint on the knights. They turned out very cute. When we were done the took the Tiara and her name off and moved them to her bedroom door. Well I will post again soon. Have a good day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-27T09:03:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving. Sorry, I have not been good about posting. I have been working on Christmas gifts. So hopefully in the weeks to follow I will have lots of ideas to post. For this layout I wanted a bike but had trouble finding one so I went googled for a bicycle gsd file and I found a lot of really cute files. For the other page I did a flower that I sketched and then I cut it out. If you have not used the sketch pens from quickutz you should try them out. I love them and use them a lot. They look like you can draw. (Which I can't.). Well have a good Thanksgiving. If you are in the Kansas City area check out The Scrapbook Pages Black Friday sales are great.

The tool I can't scrap without

2008-10-10T16:57:00.000-07:00

I am starting this blog to share tips, tricks and page layouts as well as links for my favorite scrapbooking tools. My favorite tool is the silhouette by quickutz. It is similar to the cricut but way cooler. I am posting a link comparing the silhouette and the cricut. http://www.quickutz.com/qk2/silhouette/cricut.aspx. They have compared both machines. In the upcoming weeks I will post great place to find free true type fonts and some great yahoo groups.
