SVG Attic Design Team Day

*** This is my 2nd post of the day:-)  Make sure you check out the Cardz TV Stamps design team post here ***


So today is my day to post a project using SVG Attic's wonderful svg files.  I am so excited to be a part of the SVG Attic design team and after working with Jessica's files I am even more excited. I was sooo happy when I saw the 3d Valentine boxes in the Heart Shaped Box set.  I decided to work with this set give the woven basket a try.  I love the mix of brown (which resembles chocolate:-) with red.  I also made the penguin card using the My Valentine set.  I referred to the pdf files for both of these projects that come with the file set when you purchase them.  Let me say that both of these projects went together quickly!!  I highly recommend using a wet glue with a bit of "forgiveness" when putting the basket together that way it gives you time to shape it as you are glueing it.


I really want to point this out to those of you who may be new to using svg files.  I know a lot of us have gotten Silhouette Cameos over the last few months and it may be your first time playing with svg files.  I work with SCAL 3 (sure cuts a lot).  The SVG Attic files come with a pdf file that give you help in putting together your projects.  I love the way Jessica makes her files easy to size - this is not the case with all svg files I have worked with.  Anyhow, onto the actual project but let me just say if you have any questions about working with svg files  feel free to leave me a comment on my blog.

I am entering my projects in the following challenges:

Basket - Decorate to Celebrate: Valentine's Party

Cardz TV design team

Yesterday I received such a wonderful surprise - I found out that I am on Cardz TV's design team!!  Needless to say I was very excited and humbled to be chosen.  The list of designers includes some amazingly talented people ( some of them seem "famous" to me cuz I have been following their blogs for so long) and some new-to-me faces.  I am looking forward to working with this talented bunch and designing/representing Mary's line of stamps.  

LEGO Rock Band Party!!

Well somehow my youngest dd's birthday always sneaks up on me!  I guess it is because it is the 1st of April (yes, she is an April Fool's kiddo:-)  and even though that is technically in April it is still smack at the beginning!  She wants to combine Legos and Rock Band so we are doing a Lego Rock Band party and these are her invites.   I made them today but they were not quick and easy.  There was quite a bit of glueing!  I got this great cut file for the drum set from http://amkscrap.blogspot.com/.  I made a few changes to the file but nothing difficult.

I found a Lego font and used that on part of the inside of the invitation.  The stamp on the front is from Heidi Grace but just doesn't stamp as well as I would like.

Take Out Box for Easter Goodies

I made this "takeout box" using a cut file I downloaded from Cindy at crazy4crafting.blogspot.com

Thank you Cindy for such an awesome project and for the download too!!  The polka dot paper is from a K and company paper pack.  The colored cardstock is all Recollections from Michaels.  The ribbon is actually some I picked up at Walmart a few years ago in the holiday section right after Easter. 

I am entering this into the Bitten By The Bug 2 challenge.  The challenge was to use the chick from the Easter 2010 cartridge.  Both the chick and bunny are from there.
