June's free file

June's free file is an American passport I meant to put up months ago when my "Around the World" series went up at That's Scrap, Inc. The symbol and letters are cut out of the blue and a gold piece goes behind. Caution, if cutting small use a sharp blade and cut slooowwww.

I didn't have gold paper the first time I cut, so I cut 2 of the blue covers and used one for a stencil. I ran my stencil thru my xyron and placed on yellow cardstock. I tapped on embossing ink and gold embossing powder. Took the stencil off, heat embossed it and put the other blue on. Little bit extra work, but I love heat embossing, and the shiny gold set it off.

Life is Busy

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. May is always a busy time for me, so is June, August and September. Beginning and ending of the school year. I have July free. That is my vacation. I am looking forward to that as I will be spending it camping with most of my family. I already have a camping bundle and a hiking bundle ready for sale at That's Scrap, Inc. This will be ready in June for TSI Anniversary/Birthday sale. Be sure to check out all the great deals!

For our camping adventure we split the the cooking for breakfast and supper, so you only had to cook once. Lunch is sandwiches. I got supper. So, I am looking for any easy (and cheap) camping recipes that will feed 30-40 people. For the rest of May if anyone sends me a recipe I will send them this outhouse cutting file. E-mail me at scrapmisfit@yahoo.com with the subject line "camping recipe" and the type of file you would like, ie GSD, KNK, WPC, AI, or SVG.Linda sent me a good recipe for BBQ hamburger. Her husband added the seat to the outhouse. Linda cut the seat 2" tall using SCUT

May's free file is a one I did for my daughter's friend who is expecting a girl. His wife was out of town for the weekend and he was remodeling the spare bedroom as a surprise. He placed this wall piece right over the baby's bed. I cut the letters 4 inches tall, a fairies on each side, and smaller fairies all around. (Only the GSD file has the letters 4". The others you will need to enlarge.) It turned out so cute, I wish I had a good picture of it. The only camera I had on me was my cell phone, so you got this pic instead. I got the vinyl at That's Scrap, Inc.

Uncle Ron and Kili

Uncle Ron didn't win a years free rent, but he did win. He has so many supporters pulling for him and has made so many new friends! He had the most online votes, and his video spread across the internet more than any other and spread to 37 countries. He did recieve a special Presidential Award that wasn't included as one of the prizes, and Kili won a $100 gift certificate to PetSmart! Here are his thoughts on this contest. Thanks to each one of you who have watched, voted, shared and cared. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Happy Spring

Here is this month's free file. It is a Bikini Card. It is from a pattern I saw on the internet. I do not know where the original pattern came from, but I did recreate this from circles and triangles. The front of the card is a bikini top, and the back of the card bikini bottoms.
