SO Darn Adorable!!!
Are these not the cutest bears you have ever seen?!!?
And I LOVE love love monkeys…
Tricia Moore of Little Scraps of Heaven Designs creates these oh-so-cute paper piecings in a variety of file formats. If you are old school you can even cut them by hand. That’s the last thing I would want to do, so I’m all for using my Cricut.
If you want to start using adorable cutting files like these with your Cricut, you’ll need a third-party software like Make The Cut. There’s also SCAL, but I prefer Make The Cut because it so much easier to use in my opinion. You can download the trial software HERE. They also have some great step-by-step guides for getting started HERE in the forum.
And of course, if you make anything with her patterns (or anything Cricut related for that matter) I’d love to see it! You can even post it to our Facebook page HERE.
Make-The-Cut Sale-$58.36
If you have been looking to get the Make-the-Cut software, now is the time!! The price has been dropped from $79.95 to $58.36 when you use the code MTC327.
For those of you who may not be familiar with MTC, it allows you to cut images and fonts from your computer. It “traces” images and breaks them apart so you can cut layers too.
I LOVE this software and wish I had more time to play with it because the possibilities are endless! After you purchase, go to the website and click the link to the forums. They have a wealth of information that really opened my eyes to all you can do.
A personal note…
My mother-in-law is having brain surgery on April 26th to clip an aneurism. It is a stressful time for our family for many reasons, but this one in particular. Please pray for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. I am anticipating being the in home nurse for a while, especially the first several weeks. Please know that I will post here on the blog and on Facebook as often as I can, but clearly family is a priority time wise. As soon as I can get back to contributing I will. Thank you so much for your prayers and support.

Kiss Me Froggy
I know it has been a while, but I finally have some time to share with you a layout I have been playing with. Over the holidays, I purchased the new Sweethearts cartridge. I just LOVE it!
I used the Sweethearts cartridge for the title and frog, and the DonJuan cartridge for the lips. The frog had another layer for the mouth, but it just didn’t look right to me. So, I improvised. The paper is from Dreamstreet.
