Hello Craft World :)

Long time, no post hahaha

I have been extremely busy making my lil' Etsy shop look nice and I can not say how much fun I am having.  Not ever gonna get rich from it, but it sure is a fun hobby!

I'm also getting pretty excited about becoming an affiliate for Make The Cut - It is the best software I have ever worked with, it sure makes a huge difference in the things you can create and the ability to export as SVG :)    Check out my link to the right of the page. :)

Funky Sock Day - In My Etsy Shop

Sharing is Caring

I've been MIA for a few and I wanted to apologize but I also wanted to give a free file today only, so I am giving away my Water Bottle File for all you walkers and fitness peeps and to those who want to make sure they drink enough water each day.  This would also make a great gift for anyone in the family who might be into this type thing.


SORRY YOU MISSED THE FILE - Please find it in my Etsy Shop :)

Until we craft again....

I'm Still Here :) Real Men Love Jesus

Just wanted to pop in today and let y'all know I didn't disappear again.  I've just been very busy.  I have made a couple really cute wall quotes, one was pretty large.  I'm waiting for the picture after they apply it, so that I can show you all.  It turned out very good.

Here is a little SVG file I made using nails for the cross.  I wanted to share it with you all in case you know someone who loves Jesus as much as my kids do :)  You can find this very affordable file and many others in my Etsy store.

Here ya go :)

I love these double insulated 32 oz look a like solo cups.  (on clearance at Walmart) They are really nice for the men in your life who love to have a big cup of their own. :)  I know mine does, he always has his own cup lol

Let me see, what else could I share with you today?  hmmm how about some tips on cutting with all electronic cutters.

Did you know that when trying to get a good cut on an electronic cutter you can often use your double cut option?  Your machine will go over the cut twice to ensure a better cut :)

To make your intricate cuts stand out more, you can cut them multiple times and glue them together until they are as thick as you want them then they will stand out much like chipboard for a better design :)

I think that's it for today, but I plan to be back tomorrow and start my blogging about handmade flowers.  Stay tuned.

Ya'll come back now ya hear?

Learning My SVG's

I'm just now finally learning how to make my own SVG files  (Scalable Vector Graphics) and I have created a page here to find them on.  These files are free, but please do not just pass them out, share the link to my blog and let them come follow me, or check it out.  I would appreciate that and I will continue to share until I see them being share outside of my blog.  Thank you and I hope you enjoy and can use a few of them for your projects :)

I've decided to write a little jingle to go with this Post.  Rhyming is what I love the most :)

Sang in the tune of ABC's

SVG files are so fun, I love to make them for everyone.  Check my files and find the rest, transfer them to what you love best, now I've shared my SVG's show me what you made with these :)

Showing Off

I just wanted to hop over here today to show off my new Birthday and Celebrations boards.  Finally got them done and up on Etsy.  Just wanted to share my CountryAnne's Twist on the boards and how I intend to create mine.  These are one of a kind, not found anywhere else as of this posting :)  I am so happy that I could take other embellishments and combine them to make these pretty boards.

Here they are :)

Thanks for stopping by, and ya'll come back now, ya hear?

Busy As A Bee

Howdy ya'll

l'm not trying to abandon my blog.  Just trying to get my Etsy store CountryAnne's Creations set up and I'm telling you that is not an easy task :)  I hope all is well with all my followers and I hope to be on here soon sharing some great ideas with everyone.

Since I don't have much for today I will share a couple freebies I have found in the last few days, I love finding new ways to create easy thing.  :)  Don't we all :)

I'm loving the up cycle stuff these days, the things you find that would have normally been trash to have hauled away make for great home decor.  I love this idea my DIL shared on her facebook the other day.
 Who would have thunk it?

Then of course before I forget I wanted to share a site with everyone that I have been looking at for a few years now.  You talk about talent, this lady is one talented lady when it comes to art.  I believe she used the KNK cutter and the files she creates would blow you away.  When you have some free time check her site out,  You will be glad you did.

Birds Cards

Well I love blogging and I hate to run but the files are calling and the store is running on empty haaha

See ya'll soon

Mason Jars

Howdy Ya'll :)

Glad to have you stop by.

Today I started looking around for things to do with Mason Jars.  After Christmas the Dollar General in my area (Ohio) had them for .20 cents each so I bought 12.  I knew somehow, someway I would find something cool to do with them.

Since I had a couple extra seconds today lol I typed Mason Jar Crafts into Pinterest and OMGosh I can't believe the thousands of things a person can do with Mason Jars.

The one that caught my eye first was the colored ones and how you can make your own.  We had a hand made gift exchange this year for the holidays and my Sister in Law made a craft with the purple colored ones, I bet she paid a ton more for them, and now I find out she could have made the clear ones purple and very cheaply to boot.  I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway as the gifts were a surprise and no one knew what the other was making until the revealing.

So, today I think I am just gonna drive some traffic to some terrific sites I found, the colored glass one being the first.

Check it out over at Hands on While we Grow
and when you are all done checking that one out, please check out some of the following links, as I know you will be amazed :)

Check out the Fall Luminary - WOW!!!!  I know you could do this for any season, with any image.  I am in shock, how pretty!!!!!  Create Craft Love

Last but certainly not least 137 things you can do with Mason Jars.
Skip right on over to Homed It you won't be disappointed.

I'm so happy you stopped by.  Please check back often as I am going to try to keep up on my blog as I should.

Upcycle

It's been forever since I posted, I've been so busy I am just now getting caught up.

Today I wanted to show you my latest up cycle idea, it's working great and the containers are pretty on the shelf as well :)

Found a great use for the nice plastic coffee containers, I throw away all the time. It works great, now I can see what lace I have and not have it all out in the open :)

Hope you like

CountryAnne :)
