Enjoying the Summer

Brandon diving in ! 

Is everyone enjoying the summer ?  We added a new pool to the back yard, yeah ! Although it was a huge construction project requiring long hours especially for my sweet husband, the pool is now finished and we have been enjoying it almost daily ! Did I tell you I cut vinyl geckos with my Cricut and decorated the pool liner! Too stinking cute! And it brings attention to the drop off! I will post a picture next week!

    I have not put much time into my crafting. I worked with a client with SCAL2 lessons. She and I worked on 30+ multi-layer vinyl cuts on tumblers for her daughters cheer-leading and dance teams. This was an ambitious project for someone new to SCAL and new to vinyl but the results were AMAZING.  Way to go Sheri! I am available for private or group lessons for  SCAL2  and will teach basic  Make the Cuts if anyone is interested. ( I  less familiar with MTC but using it more lately)  My craft room or yours. I am still getting by with the Cricut Expression but am looking into a third party friendly new cutting machine down the road.
    Has anyone been to SVG.cuts blog lately?  Mary has wonderful detailed step by step tutorial videos ! I wish she was my neighbor! I would certainly invite her and Leo to the pool in exchange for some great paper magic tips! ( 3D flowers, pumpkins, pie boxes, lever cards... all too cute)
    Lettering Delights and Make the Cuts have a wonderful new relationship! And if you have the new MTC version 3 your Lettering Delights library is TA DA  right there, easy to utilize. Of course to use this with the Cricut you must keep the PCCPlugin.dll from your previous MTC version before MTC and Provo-Craft went through the ugly divorce ( lawsuit).

Once fall gets here I will catch up on my card making.  Have a  Happy Labor Day enjoying time with family and friends! Stay cool!
