Okay don't fall off your chair

Yes, I know it has been far to long since my last post. There is good reason for this. I am now the owner of the Driving School that I was working for, yeah!! And when it is summer, well I just don't even have time to think. I have not scrapped a thing or designed all summer, and yes I am so missing it.  I will be back to making and designing here soon. I have however been able to take a peek at the blogs that I follow and you are all just still so amazing :)

My Drivinng School is, " Cruisers Driving Academy", I am using PT Cruisers as my training car. The students are just loving it. You can find my on fb.

Have a blessed day!

My first baby girl is married

She is married...... and I will be an Oma this coming fall... I am so excited.. No I don't like grandma. I liked grammy but my daughter did not. So I will be Oma, thought about Nana but Kenns mother is already that and well that would be to confusing. So I will settle for Oma, unless I hear something better?? I will post some pics soon.

Now that the wedding is done I can get back to my scrapbooking. I have almost completed my lo for my first class that I am teaching as well as a card. Have a set of paper piecings for a client almost done as well.

Here is birdhouse.zip

I believe there is a cutting file here for all the machines, if not let me know the file type needed. I even have it in a jpg for the person wanting to do it by hand.

Hope you all have a blessed day!

Sherry

Weddings can drive you crazy......

Yes, you read it right, I think the whole family has went nuts!! And to think I have three girls to do this to me...... cry..... ;( Okay over that, you are really here for your free file. So I have this simple but fun little tub. Add a rubby ducky and some bubbles and of course a tear bear.

I almost have my beginners pages done for my first class. It is realy a hard thing for me to do. I want to keep adding stuff to the pages. I will be so glad to move on from beginner to intermediate to advanced. I will show you when I am done. :)

Cute kitty to add to your files

I made this file from an image that is a digi stamp made by Dawn http://lostinpaperscraps.blogspot.com/. She was gracious to let me post it and share it with you all.

My daughter is getting married this next week, so when I said I would post some more files as well as convert more that I already have, well I didn't expect I would be this busy. But hang in there and I will bring more.

I am also working on a set of pages that I will be sharing the how to's at our lss. I have been asked to teach beginner and intermediate and advanced techniques in scrapbooking. I will start with our beginners. Classes will be starting in May. Fun and exciting for me. As well as I will be packaging and selling my Tear Bears as a local artist at the store. Oh and my paper piecings too. So I will be busy. I will still share with you all. ;)

Oh I could not get it to convert into an svg. I will try again later. I did do a jpg. that you can print and trace though.

Tear Bears

Here is the customer order that I was working on in between working. The pics are not the best, as it was dark out already when I took them. I will get some better ones later.It was hard to get done as I was working 12 hour days. But I did it. :) I am hoping my customer loves it. I think I will add a few more paper piecings to it.

The blocks are 3.5 x 3.5. The little blankie is fabric. I also am including a couple charms.One full size tear bear and two peek-a-boo's.

Have a blessed Easter

Have a blessed evening.

Sherry

Oh, I will have some new files this next week. Also get some older ones converted. I am back to my normal schedule.

As to my converting I will get some more done soon. I had one of my best and pervious customer contact me and ask me to make her a paper piecing set with bears. So in between work that is what I have been up to for the last few days. Remember I homeschool as well, so there are only so may hours in my days. I do however wish someone would invent a way to stretch them out...lol......

My students have been great. I received another sweet gift from a student, she gave me a movie ticket. I thought that was realy nice. And my boss bought me this really pretty bouquet of flowers. Did I tell you they also blessed me with a new phone, and are paying the bill, I was WOWED! If that isn't a word well it's my word. ;)  As for my adult students, my last just passed with a 90%. I have a new one that should be testing in about three weeks. I also will be starting another adult tomorrow at 6:45. Then off to an all day with my students.

 I hope you are a blessed by my selections.

Have a blessd day!

Here is a new one. All file types

Sorry I haven't been able to get you a new one or convert any older files. I have been really busy all week. I have adult drives in the mornings and then teach my younger ones and then off to work I go again... Really it is a blessing to be able to have this work. But I must say I do miss my craft time. But I will get a couple days during Spring break and that is when I will hopefully have my first set done.

New file...and a few more converted to scal and other types

Having fun converting all these files...NOT! ....LOL.....no really I am glad to offer these free to you. I hope to make a button soon that will allow you to quickly access my blog. Something I hope you will be proud to share with others.  

I am bummed now... my sister said she has decided at this time she doesn't see how she can move here. I was really hoping she would. She is planning to go into the medical field and was thinking she would go to school here. There is always hope!!

New flower for Scal, Pazzles, Wishblade, Silhouette, Craftrobo, Gazelle

I have to give a big thank you to my husband as he helped me to understand how to use this zip file. I am now going to be going through and and changing all my files to offer you all file types. Be patient as I will be able to do one or two a day.

On a personal note my sister who lives in Oregon may move to live by me. She is very lonely all by herself there. I am really hoping she does!  We have had our ups and downs but what is love if we can't forgive and go on loving eachother, right? Isn't that what we are to be is a light of love to the world?  I really think a lot of us need to look closer to home and fix those area's then maybe we might have an effect on the world, kwim? As I have one finger pointed outward to you, I have several pointing right back at me...lol...so you are not alone. We all have relationships that could be better. Bitternes will only swallow the one holding it. ;) Try and reach out to just one relationship today, and may it be blessed!

Please remember my files are for your personal use. If you want to share with friends on your blogs please give a link back to me.

Have a blessed day!!

Testing a zipped file for Silhoute, Wishblade, Craftbobo, Pazzles, Scal

Please tell me if this worked for everyone...still learning

Here it is Buttons.zip

Please let me know if it worked and other files types needed

Sherry

I have these file types....

Okay I have the compression software now and I have figure these file types. Still figuring out how to compress. So it will be just a bit longer to get them all available. So what I need to know is what file types you all need. I will be able to do ai, dxf, eps, plt, scal, jpg. So is there others needed??

Here is flower mat set.zip

Have a blessed day!

Sherry

A few steps closer to offering all file types. Wpc, knk, plt, svg

Like I said I am closer to getting more file types.  Sorry it is taking a while as I have to figure this stuff all out and feel confident in what I am doing. Once I do it I will go back and try and re-do all my files one a day or something like that. I am still working on a new release set too. It isn't like anything that is out there already, meaning not bears. I love bears too, but there are lots out there already, kwim?  So stay tuned. I am trying for a Spring realease.

Face Book has been fun...

It really has been. I have gotten in touch with family that I really have not ever gotten the chance to know. I am really excited about that. Due to the fact that I was a child that came from an abused background and was taken from my parents and well the rest of the story is that I never got to really have my family in my life. I have been blessed to have the Lord as my daddy,  my loving husband and great kids that all love Lord as well. But there is just something in our nature, put there by God to belong to our very own family, to belong and be wanted. I have also been blessed to have my husbands family in my life, most are great...lol.... So this is fun and excitting for me. I do have family that I have been able to be around and blessed with, but because of circumstances I have lots of family to get to know. Okay enough of that, here is what you were after, right? ;)

This would be really cute to add some little flowers to as well.
Let me know if you ever need another file type

May you all have a very blessed day!

I have a Pazzles Delux for sale

I posted this sometime ago and just thought there might be some interest in this machine. I used it just a few times before I got a bigger one. It was 599.00 new. Still has everything with it. This is one that would cut my files. I am a trust worthy ebay seller, but thought I would offer it here. If you are interested send me a message and we can talk about a price.

May you have a blessed day!

Sherry

Just love playing around with my blog

Hope you don't mind the changes. I think it will be easier to read. I think it was just to dark before. I NEED bright colors around me. I have several new files coming, fun, fun, fun.  I have added pictures to my blog title of items that I have made or patterns that are here on my blog. I make bears, layouts, cards, paper piecings. Enjoy looking around. If you need help send you me a message.

Happy Wednesday...free file

Hope everyones week is going well. Not to much happening in my world, I do however have an adult drive today and they always prove to be eventful...lol... really driving an adult is harder to teach.  Some of you might be wondering an adult that doesn't know how to drve?? Well they are from differnt countries, so in their cultures they didn't have to. NO I have not yet taught an American adult, I do have one though that is needing some helps......got a call and this company wants me to evaluate one of their drivers and fix some problem areas, so we will see how that goes.

I got this from a friend and just had to share it.

Here is a swan.ai

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope all my blog friends are well and having a great day with your loved ones. Kenn and I have always shared Valentines Day with our children. We have Pizza and play games with them, spending some quality time. Has been a great benefit for us, and the children look forward to it even today. Made some more files and thought I would give you this embelishment.

Here is buttons.ai

Have a great night!

Having some more fun....Scal, Ai, Wpc all file types

Lots of fun! I have so much fun creating files to share. It really gives me that feeling of accomplishment that we all need and desire. I have several ready to share it is just a matter of figuring out which one... hey tell me if there is anything that you are wanting or needing. I would love to create them for you, or at least give it a try.

Remember I can make you another file type.

Here is car.ai

Hope you all have a blessed day!

Sherry

 

Here is another for Valentines......Scal, Pazzles, Wishblade, KNK.......

Remember if you need another file type let me know I will make it for you. I use a Pazzles so I either will make it an ai file or the wpc file type. But I know with in my programming I can make more types as well as I have down loaded Scal and have made successful files for scal. Oh, I could even break the file apart and make it a jpeg for those doing it by hand.

I was at another blog one day and the person was giving away files for free unless you wanted another type like for the Pazzles or KNK and charged them......amazing. All mine are free at this time. I am getting ready to put together a set for sell and it will have a really cute chararter...fun, can't wait. It will hopefully be done in time for spring! Just not enough hours...;)

Here is cupid.ai

May you all have a blessed day!

Have a great and blessed night!

Made a bed cutting file.

No reason just because...lol.. I know it isn't a Valentine file, but thought that someone might like this cute little bed. Work week went well. Hours are increasing so that is a great thing as far as the pay check, but not as far as being able to create all the time. I know I whine about it alot... but hey if you were at one time able to make a new layout everyday of the week and then not hardly one in a month, well you would whine too....lol... I know all things in seasons. I say with a smile. Any way here you go. Have a great super bowl...hey I better make a file for that...........

Here is bed.ai

Have a great night!

Sherry

Having some fun....

I said I found some time, so I am having some fun creating a few cutting files for Valentines Day. This one would make a quick card. Have fun!

Here is Valentine Doves.ai

Another cutting file for you...knk, pazzles, scal

So last year I was looking all over for a scalloped heart for a layout and could not find one. So here I have made one for all of us to use. I made a set of nesting, most programs allow you to resize. Have fun!

Here it is scalloped hearts.ai

Birds cutting file for your Pazzles, KNK, SCAL

Starting a new class today.  Some changes coming to our school. Here in Washington a few schools were chosen to participate in a new program with the state. When a student takes our written final and passes the first time they will no longer have to take the written at the DOL, just the drive. So that is a new and exciting addition to our school as we believe, not certain yet, that the other school was not chosen. We have a very up to date cirriculum and simulations. Any how that is the news in my world.

Here are birds.ai

Need Scal let me know I can send it to you. Don't forget the e-mail addy though ;)

Have a blessed day!

Sherry

Added note I am having trouble changing my color on my About Me??? any help, would be appreciated. :)

Busy Busy Busy...lol..

I know I am not the only one out there in Blog Land that is. :)  Just don't give up on me as I will not abandon my blog, as I love doing this. Just a season in my life that I have to fit this here and that there. I have had encouraging words to keep bringing the files.  I sure wish I would hear from some of you that are down loading them, because I would have to agree with others who give away freebies. We need to hear from you an encouraging word now and then. Even a link to your blog to see how they are being used. Okay enough of the lecture...lol..

I have had some fun talking to some old high school friends on facebook. More of us are locating one another. There are three of us that hope to get together this Spring and have lunch and just get reaquainted.  So that will be some fun. As well as I have a date to see some of my family too.

Work is great! I am still loving teaching.

Here is a label cutting file for you

Sorry to have been out of the loop for a few days. I have been busy with life. Having fun connecting with family,church family and old school friends on facebook. I think it can be a bit addicting at first but I am sure it will wear off.  I have done some scrapping for my classroom, so it hasn't all been unproductive. Just don't think many of you would be interested in signs for your files...am I right?  I made several more and they are being laminated.

I am still working on the layout with my tree's. I have a few more drawings that I hope to put out soon. Some of you may already have some labels, but I love to collect all kinds and use them for card, photo mats, back drops for a layout. So these are some that I found and made into my own cutting file. I love funtime software for this very reason.

Here it is labels.ai

Here is a pattern for you to make some "Sweet" creations.

I have had this one made for some time but just thought I would share it now. Havn't had lots of time as of late to get more patterns done.

Facebook has been fun and kinda challenging. Finding out about family and friends can be a bit emoitionally hard. But I will survive, always have.....lol...Well enough of that.

No one has shown me what they have created. I would love to see. Also remember if you need another file type leave your e-mail. ;)

Here is cupcake.ai

May you all have a blessed day!

Sherry

Just a quick note

I have had requests for svg's for certain patterns and would love to give them to you. Please leave me your e-mail and I can send them to you. ;)  I hope to figure out how to to do zip files and will convert them. So for now I need you to leave your e-mail or send me an e-mail through my profile.

Have a blessed day!

Sherry

I got one done!! Yeah for me........

Okay so what is she all excited about?? I got my tree into my Pazzles software. It didn't come out right when I scaned it in, but I used the tools to fix it. So I just had to share it with you all. Mind you I just threw these together for you. I built three different types of tree's out of this pattern too.  In the down load you will get all to build these tree's. Have fun with them. Oh, and I am using them in a layout now. So when I finish I will show you.

I have decided that Facebook might be fun.  I found a lot of reletives that I don't get to other wise talk to much so it might be a great thing to keep in touch. But boy I could just get lost there....lol...I have my girls to show there mom the way around though. ;)

Here it is forest tree.ai

Have a blessed day!

Sherry

My Daughter added me to Facebook

Not sure about being added to facebbok. For me, it just another thing that I will feel that I have to do. My schedule is really pretty busy now. And if it is just another place to blog, well I like this place just well enough....lol..

It was really great to get back to work. I didn't get all I wanted to get done over the holiday, but hey do we ever?? I did however get some more files done. I am really trying to figure out how to get the ones that I created by drawing into my Pazzles software. What I mean is I know that I can scan it in, but when I trace around the pieces they don't come our very nice? I know I am doing something wrong, but what??

Here is one that you can use for Valentines. or some one you love.

Please leave a comment when you take a file. I like to hear how they are working out for you.

Here it is key to my heart.ai

Hope you all have a blessed day!!
