Spongebob

I have been so busy, no excuses!  It has been quite a long time since I posted anything on my blog, but I'm back!  Let me catch you up.  I have been a Cricut user for quite some time now (since 2008) and have stuck by my machine.  I own many cartridges and the Gypsy too, but I just couldn't take it anymore!  I wanted a machine that would allow me to make my own stuff.  I do own the first SCAL software, but nothing ever works right and I have to spend extra time making the SVG's and separating them so I can cut it out.  Well, I changed that.  I bought me a Silhouette Cameo and I absolutely love it!  I upgraded my software to Designer Studio and I am in love all over again.  I can paste Google images into DS and create my SVG files right there!  I know that Cricut has their new Explore machine and it looks like it could be a step in the right direction, but my silhouette cuts so much better than my Cricut ever did.  The only downside is the mats cost $15 for ONE!  But, I found a place on line that sells them for $10.  Here are some things I have made with my new machine!

 

The top one is the Spongebob Valentine box, cards, and treats I made for my grandson to take to school.

The bottom picture is a Nerd Mickey.  I am working on doing some other characters as nerds.
