For a Special Person


Well, we all have had to make a card for that special person at one point or another. The people that really stand out just by being themselves. They deserve a gift as unique as them. Here is a file that may help get a step closer to achieving that special gift. Use metallic papers, glitter or textures to match the gift wrapping. Use it for cards, LO or tags. Make several and have them ready on a moments notice. Add more shapes or less take some out. Get really creative. Enjoy!

China


Here is one for my world travelers out there. I have never been to China, but hey, I can dream right? Send me your LO you created with this file. Enjoy!

Oh Happy Day

Spring Training


Here is another one for the boys. This one can be used for a LO of baseball pictures for teens. Make posters for tryouts. Don't forget to use pre-printed paper with grass as the backdrop. A couple of the vendors here sell them, makes all the difference on a LO. Let me know how yours turned out. Enjoy!

Tap Out or...


Well, I haven't done much for the guys lately so I thought I would change that this week. If they are going to keep paying for our addiction, we may as well make them something every once in a while. So I hope this file helps. Make an invite for the next big fight, decorations for the next gathering or make them a freezer paper t-shirt. Make a poster or a vinyl decal. Make them anything, I'm sure they will like it. Enjoy!

Thank You



Here is a nice .svg that can be used for just about anything. Use on decorations, envelopes, cards, etc. Add a tag line and make a poster. Use metallic papers or textures and turn it up a notch. Send me pictures of your design. Enjoy!

Tiki Time


Well, spring is almost here, and summer will soon follow. Soon we will be making party invites. Should you think of using a tiki, then you may have just found one. I found this one and have tweaked it to cut just right. You will need a sticky mat and a sharp blade if you cut it small. Use textured paper and you will make an unforgettable decoration. Don't forget to send me a picture! Enjoy!

Violin Chick


I saw something similar to this on a t-shirt, and I thought I would try my version. It would look nice on a LO for a band student. Make at-shirt and place their name on it. Make recital invitations or posters for your daughter room. Let me know what you did. Enjoy!

Ants


This is a simple .svg that can be used for a LO. Adorn the LO with pictures and picnic goodies. Make a t-shirt for the family picnics or make invitations for family gatherings. Can be anything you need it to be. Don't forget to send me your pics. Enjoy!

The Martian

Here is the beloved martian with anger management skills. He is better cut in larger scale, as the small details are hard to cut unless you have a fresh cutting mat and sharp blade. Makes for great cards. Show me what you can do with this little guy. Enjoy!

Lady Bugs

Here is one for my ladybugs. Simple little ladybugs make a great accent to any layout of your little girls. Make several of different sizes and colors, you can't go wrong. One of the advertisers here has card-stock that I love to use for this. It is a glossy, colored paper with different size black dots. The red is great, but why stop there. I made several and keep in a sandwich bag ready for those quick greeting cards and birthday gift accents. I really hope you can Enjoy!

Valentine


Here is another file that can be used to create a card, or used to decorate a gift. Very simple and sweet, but can add that wow factor to home made cards. Use it for scrapbook pages with a little tweaking. Where will yours end up? Do tell! Enjoy!

Forever Yours


Well, Valentine's Day is here again, and we all need something special to make right? Well, I don't know that I can help you, but here is what I made for this special day. How about some flowers? I thought about using metallic paper for this one, but still not sure what the final one will look like. I have looked through the vendor websites here on my blog and have found several nice papers I could use. Except, its too late to order. Good thing for our local crafts stores! I'll be shopping today. Let me know what you were able to come up with. Send pics! Enjoy!

Be Mine


Here is one that can be used for children's home made valentine cards. Add your child's schoolmates names, and you will be the favorite home room mom! You can use this with or without the fuzzy fur, and you have a different look. On one of the vendor links here, I saw some furry looking paper stock that would look great for this. I'm thinking of getting some for that wow effect. What can you do with this? Send me feedback and pics. Enjoy!

Grinch

Well, we all know one ...right? Now we can create something special for them. This little green guy will go well on a Christmas card or add him to the next gift card holder, either way, they will know who it is for. I had been working on it , but never really finished it until recently. Yes, it's a little late, but well worth the wait. Next years gifts cards will be ready. Enjoy!

Here is a file that can be used as a whole, or just use the frog portion. Make party invites, get well cards, wall hangings...or just about anything. As always, your pictures are always welcome.

Home Improvement


Well, I don't know about you, but I have tons of before and after picture albums of home improvement projects. Some are organized in nice little albums, while others are still stored in shoe boxes. I have been thinking about making a coffee table book with these pictures. Here is a file for one of those layouts, and I hope to post more someday. How have you organized your pictures? Any thoughts? Send me pics of your work, as I am always interested. Enjoy!

Welcome Baby

Well in all families, there is always a new arrival that blesses a home. And in the process of waiting, we always seem to have little gifts we give. How about making a card, a photo album cover or a gift tag? Every nursery can have a special touch from grandma, auntie or why not...mommy! Enjoy!

Made for Ipod


Well we all know that the ipod is the latest and greatest invention for all music lovers. We all either have one, or know someone that has one. We all also have a picture of some one getting one as a gift, so why not dress it up? This .svg could be used to decorate a frame, LO or card. Why not make a gift card holder with this? How about as a birthday card? Or even a gift tag? So many uses. I have even thought about making a freezer paper t-shirt! What are your plans? Let me know. Enjoy!

Motorcycle Helmet


By request, here is the helmet, another element used in the motorcycle LO. It is very simple, but adds to the look and feel of the design. Use a matte finish paper, and it will give it a classic feel, I think. Hope to see your pictures. Send to nancyscreative@sbcglobal.net . Enjoy!

Motorcycle

Another element that I used on the motorcycle LO was this piece. Very few masculine elements out there, so this was a must for me to create. This one too cuts better at a larger scale, as you loose details when cut too small. Make it out of vinyl, or used metallic paper or sheen, like those found on some of the vendor sites here. Use it to decorate the "Man Cave" or garage. Use it on t-shirts. So many uses, so little money! Enjoy!

Please try and download again. Having trouble with this link. Let me know if it is still not working and I will email you the file.

Route 66


Well, here is one of the elements that I used to create the motorcycle paper craft you see below. A Classic element that can be used to bring that vintage feel to any vacation scrap book, transportation LO or craft. Make sure you have a sticky mat, as the smaller you cut it, the more delicate the cut. Visit the vendors on this page, as most carry metallic paper, or pearlescent paper that will look awesome, as it resembles the actual sign road sign.



If you have downloaded these and have already created, or have ideas in mind, don't be shy, let us know what will or has become of them, better yet send us a picture. Enjoy!

Old Timer

Well its finally here! The Old Timer Truck is ready for download. I have tried to tweak it as best I could, I hope it cuts well for you. This one has so many possibilities! As a blogger pointed out, designs for men are few are far between. Make the bet of this, and please send me pictures of your designs at nancyscreative@sbcglobal.net. Enjoy!

Girls Soccer


Here is one that I also created some time ago. This one was for a soccer picture at the end of the year. Select paper colors and texture that match your uniform. Will make a great keepsake for grandparents! Resize to fit your needs and picture sizes. As always, please send me a picture of your artwork, or let me know if you like. Enjoy!
