Cruising Around

This two page layout was created using the Treasure Box Designs paper piecing file: "Mudding", Little Girl's head: Kiddies and Crackers file, Treasure Box Face Stamps, cut with Make the Cut software and my Gazelle.

Here are some tear bears that I have made using the Tear Bear files from Treasure Box Designs. Love these bears. So quick to put together.



 This is the Tear Bear with the Patriot Kids clothes file. She was made with cardstock. I used a little gold stickles on the star and the Treasure Box face stamps for the face.

This is the Tear Bear with the Butterfly and Little Buggies clothes sets. These were made with cardstock. Also used the Treasure Box Designs Face Stamps on these.

This is the Tear Bears with the Beary Babies and Mermaid clothes sets. These were made using no-pill fleece instead of cardstock or mulberry paper. 

All were cut with my Gazelle and the Make The Cut Software.

Easter Layouts

Finally getting around to working on some Easter pictures. I am really behind.

Used Treasure Box Designs paper piecing files, Make the Cut software for cutting with my Gazelle. Pebbles chalks, colored pencils for detail, Treasure Box Face Stamps, EK Success Lattice Chain border punch, Sizzix scallop pocket tag, Martha Stewart Eyelet Lace punch around the page punch, Spellbinders scallop nestabilities dies, Cuttlebug, EK Success Card Creator Basketweave punch and various cardstocks and papers.

Expecting Baby Layout

I am starting a scrapbook for my daughter, who at this time has had my granddaughter. So this layout with more to follow will be a little late.

I love to create my layout pages in Make the Cut beforehand so that I can see how placement will be and what embellishments I want. This was all cut with my Gazelle!!

(hid daughters belly since she was showing it-not sure she would appreciate showing the "world")

I have attached the MTC file if you would like this layout. When you open it in Make the Cut you will see the layout page. The lock is on the page. This is to show you how to assemble it, although you can move it around to the way you would like. I have made three cutting pages(tabs) for this file (included) so that it will make it easy to cut the separate elements. See the journaling tag, baby peeker and stork tabs on this file. Unlock them before cutting and move the group around for your paper placement and cutter. Also on the stork page remove the note that I added to the page about the stork color before cutting.

I used Peachy Keen face stamps (Everyday Faces) on the baby peeker. I will have the stork holding the baby in a future layout to share. Look for it soon.


Hope you like this.

The Gazelle Has Arrived

My Gazelle arrived today!!! I have it unpacked and ready to read the operating instructions. I got in on the special that included the Gazelle and everything that comes with it (Gazelle Cutter, Funtime 2010 software, 700 shapes and 200 fonts, cutting mat, blade, blade holder, usb cable and the instruction manual). Along with this I received a bonus package extra deep cut blade, extra replacement blades, vinyl blade and an extra cutting mat. This extra gold cutting mat is an extra sticky mat that is great to use with chip board and other heavy cutting materials. I also ordered the Pre-set blade holder as this was highly recommended by other Gazelle owners.

The features of the Gazelle are:

**12" cutter, 500 grams of pressure

**Cuts a variety or media, including: chipboard, glitter paper, vinyl and much more

**Optical eye, used for print and cut

**Draw, cut, weld, outline, shadow, pierce, embroidery, engrave, cut decorative edges with the scissor tool and much more

**Scan and vectorize your own images

**Cut True Tpe Fonts

**Works with Windows OS XP, Vista or 7

**One added feature not on the box but that I know...It will cut with the Make The Cut software. It is one of the cutter options when ready to cut your project.

I hope to share my learning experience with this cutter and maybe make a few tutorials to share. Now off to register my cutter on the Bosskut Forum site and then to start playing.
