Cutter Files

I sell cutter files. I am not sure how to describe what these are if you have never used one. They are files that you send to a printer-like cutter and the you have a diecut to put either on a scrapbook page or a greeting card. If you cut these files out of vinyl you can put on a wall, a vehicle, or a sign. The possibilities are endless. Most of my files that I sell are paper-piecing files. You would cut these files out of different color cardstock and then glue together to make a picture. These are better than stickers because you can match the colors you want. I make these files in the following types: GSD for the Wishblade, Craft Robo, and Quickutz Sillouette; KNK for the Klik-N-Kut; WPC for Funtime users, and AI or IEPS for the mac users. My files can be seen at designsbysky.cuttersmarket.com.

So why am I doing this?

Everyone has a blog, or a myspace, or a whatever. A blog, I thought was an internet diary. I use to keep a diary until my mom found it. Need I say more? So why would I want to pour out my thoughts and feeling for the whole world and my children to read. My kids think I talk about them at work way to often. Can you imagine if I wrote about them for others to see? No this blog of mine will be mostly my cutting blog. I say mostly because who know what I will write about later on down the road.

So much for good intentions

Ok I said I would write a little each day, wellll... didn't work.

A little bit about me: I'm a single mom with 2 beautiful girls, ages 20 & 24. I have worked for Head Start for over 16 years. Not the best paying job, but the rewards are great. My hobbies include reading, flying and scrapbooking. I have been scrapbooking for well over 10 years. I bought a quickutz sillouette last year when taxes came in March. In June I had to have surgery, so while I was at home I started joining cutter groups to learn more about my cutting machine. I learned about Inkscape and started designing my own files. I started with clip art, then coloring books, and now designing my own. I still use clip art and coloring pages, they are the easiest. friends liked my files and requested certain files and so I started selling my files at designsbysky.cuttersmarket.com. I like paper piecing the best, so that is what I make.

What to say

I have been asked to start a blog so the people who buys my files can learn a little about me. So here I am and I have no clue on what I want to say. But I will try to write a little each day. I am not the best speller and my grammer is not at its best, so please excuse me.
