The Carnival has Come to Town!


This ferris wheel was created using Inkscape by looking at a photo of one that someone else had created online. I couldn't get it to convert to an svg, so I had to create one from scratch. This one took a while to get it right, but I think it looks pretty fabulous.

If you would like a copy of this file, please follow the instructions for checkout at the top right hand side of my blog. This file is $2.00.


More Have Joined the Cartoon Zoo!

I have been working hard to make these very easy to cut and put together. I love the way they turned out. I can't pick a favorite. The bunny is hilarious. To me, he looks un poco loco. haha.

Lava Springs Country Club Logo


Ok, so I know this is really random, but I thought I would share with you a logo of the Lava Springs Country Club from the movie High School Musical 2. I made it for a friend of mine who works at our local theatre: Playhouse in the Park. They are going to put on the play for HSM2 and they needed the logo for the scene. So I created it with inkscape using a photo of the logo that I found using google. So here it is. I don't know if anyone else out there could use this, but I thought it turned out really cool.

The photo you see if of the pieces that will be put on a piece of poster board. Each piece is 12" square. I have divided them into two svg files so that you can do a top and bottom instead of having to glue each emblem on the squares.

A Stay-at-home Mom has to earn her keep!

As I find that I am spending a lot of time creating these svgs, my husband noted that I'm spending an awful lot of time making things and not getting paid. And since I'm trying to convince him that I don't need to get another teaching job this fall and I can handle being a stay-at-home mom and still help out financially, I guess I better start charging something. I'm still going to offer free svgs every now and then, b/c I love getting stuff for free and I love giving it as well. So I hope that you'll continue to check back every once in a while to see what is up for grabs!

Sketch # 13

Well a friend of mine referred me to a scrapbooking site called 52 Sketches, 52 Weeks. At first I was a little hesitant that I could keep up with making one layout a week, but after doing my first one, I'll have to admit, it wasn't that hard. It was actually easier than just sitting down to do one on my own. I guess this is because they actually give you a layout that is supposed to inspire your own. And it did! Here it is:
These buttons were a great find! Guess where I got them? A thrift store! I was so proud of my bargain. I got a whole zip lock bag full for only $1.00! The sea horses are from the Cricut Doodlecharms cart. I just love the googly eyes!

Cartoon Zoo


Finally! I'm finished with the Cat! I had some troubles cutting him out b/c I accidentally chose the wrong size scraps twice. So I gave up and patched him together. So hopefully yours will look better than mine! If you have any ideas on different colors to use for him or any of the others, please share them with me. I'm not really liking the poop brown color of Mr. Friskers here. haha. Cartoon Cat Svg





I was so impressed with Denise's elephant and how well it was divided into three easy pieces to cut that I decided to try one for myself. I went to google and searched for the elephant file that she created hers from and I found even more cartoon animals! So you can look forward to more in the coming days. It's gonna take a little while. The first one I did was a cow (b/c they are my fav animal, don't ask why). It took me 3 hours to convert, but since I'm figuring it out bit by bit, maybe the next one won't take as long. Cartoon Cow svg **Edit: Since I made this cow I realized that I didn't get the feet and head just right with the black outline and the white center, it has since been fixed, so yours will look better than this one. The feet will be all grey with no black line running through them and the head will not have the black line running across under the ears.



I have finally gotten around to making the adorable cartoon elephant that I found on Denise's blog. I love it! I used a greyish blue printed paper for the background and he could not look better! If you want the svg, you'll have to go to Denise's Blog

Any Bookworms?

I needed a svg of an open book for the poster I'm working on, so while I'm at it, I figured I'd share it with you. It turned out nicely and was very easy to cut and paste together. Here is a pic of the image I converted it from:

I didn't include the background circle, just the book. Open Book svg
