Feeling Lucky?




I got busy this week finally putting my Cricut machine to good use. I love the thing, and want to use it more, just can't pull myself away from jewelry and computer in time to use it. There's just too many crafts for me to dabble in and still have to work for a living! LOL, I also figured you guys see my beading all the time, but I don't always post my paper stuff I like to make.
Anyway...I purchased a program to use svg files downloaded from your computer to cut on the Cricut. I love it, and there's so many directions to use them. The name of the program is Sure Cuts A Lot.
There are a number of places on the web to find files for your SCAL program to use. Now, I wish I could tell you I had it all figured out and that I knew how to make my own files for cutting, but alas, I don't have the time to sit down and do all that!
I follow a few blogs and do some nice google searches once in a while to find free svg files. I also have bought from a few websites. NOTE: I'm a font junkie, and I love new fonts. With the SCAL you can cut any true type font installed on your computer!! Can you say awesome....???
I downloaded the shamrock svg from The Free SVG Blog. They regularly post freebies for your personal use! Anyway...these lucky shamrocks are destined for the ladies at work tomorrow. I think they will have nice little door decorations for St Paddy's day! :)
