November's Free File

I have been trying to get this done since October so I could show you the finished project. All I have to do is put together and finish it off. I did tell you I would put the file up Sunday. I don’t have it completed, but I decided to put it up anyway. It is a recipe card gift that’s 5" by 7". If you get TSI’s N’Titles files, then the category words are in October’s files, and sized to fit these cards. The categories I used are Appetizers, Beverages. Breads, Breakfast, Casseroles, Deserts, Main Dishes, Salads, Side Dishes, Snacks, Soups, and Vegetables. There are 6 tabbed cards, one cover, and one index cards. Since there are 12 categories I cut 2 of each of the tabbed cards, and one cover for the front and one cover for the back. I didn’t use the index card, instead I bought a set of 5" by 7" index cards, and rounded the corners (but the index card is included.) I used the cover as a guide line to punch the holes. I will use “o” rings to put it all together, and use ribbon to decorate. I will try to get the finished project done and uploaded before to long  :)  Download HERE. 

Looking a little GRIM

It's probably from eating all that Halloween candy!

Today's free cutting file is one of my favorites from a couple years back. I think I give him away every Halloween. He has changed over the years. I have used the Reaper when someone hits a milestone birthday. Next time when someone at work turns 25, 30, 40, 50, or 60, hire a Grim Reaper to follow the birthday person around for a couple of hours! He doesn't need to say anything, he just needs to stand there where the birthday boy/girl can see him.

This cutting file cuts in just two pieces and comes in SVG, GSD, KNK, WPC, and AI. Download HERE.

PS: Sorry about the ghost card from yesterday. No matter what it looks like, he is not flipping you off :0

Trick or TREAT!

Happy Halloween! I can’t believe that October is almost over! I’m glad it is almost over. I have had the worst month ever. Besides my computer crashing and losing everything (good thing I back up every weekend!) I have been sick, worse than I have ever been.

This had been a bad month with the swine flu in the school system. I have been down twice because of feeling crappy and both lasted 4 days. Drivers have been out so I had to drive. Between those 2 times I was out sick I did something with my right rotator cuff, which connects my shoulder to my arm. It’s one of the hazards of driving a bus. I couldn’t even use my mouse without it hurting like $%*^$.. I will need to have surgery if I ever want to move it without hurting. They say recovery time is anywhere from 6 to 14 weeks! I used all my sick days, my personal days and some vacation days just this month!

I know some people don’t celebrate Halloween because of religious beliefs or the country they are from. I don’t celebrate Halloween because of pagan rituals, I like it for the costumes and the candy. Where else can you dress up in anything you want to be and get lots of candy for your efforts? Saying that, let's get down to the free stuff.

I made 3 sets of card fronts. Little late for this year, but there is a haunted house, a skull, and a ghost. You can also use these for stencils. I make card fronts instead of cards. The card fronts have been tested at 4.25 by 5.5 inches. This freebie cutting file come in SVG, AI, KNK, WPC, and GSD. Download here. Look for another free file, an oldie but a goodie, this Saturday. Next Sunday I will upload a recipe card gift file. In the meantime, Happy Haunting. Bwah-hahahahaha....

September Free File

The end of August until the end of September is probably my busiest time at work. I don't even have time to write right now! lol. Most people, when they send their kids to school, get a little breather or break. This is about the time I am ready to pull my hair out trying to get all those kids to school. I wanted to make a school accent, but I didn't have time to create one. Look for two free files in October. This month's file is a paper tree accent that looks good either on a card or a scrapbook page. Hope you can use it. (Looks good in spring colors also) Download HERE.

Didn't Win :(

Wow! There were some really tacky lawn ornaments! The winner was a Bubble-Farting Gnome. Can't beat that, although some came close. Over 400 hundred pictures were taken over the weekend, and I am going thru all of them to pick out the ones I want to scrapbook. I am digitally scrapbooking the whole album. I've got about 12 pages done with about 20 more to go. I am not sure how I feel about digital scrapbooking. It is taking about the same time, but there is a lot less mess.

I am still on vacation file give-a-way, so this month's free file is that famous mouse who has a place in Florida, California, and other places. Famous Mouse
