Label SVG Cut Files

In celebration of all the wonder of SCAL, I thought I’d put up some labels I’d made a while back welding basic shapes to share on a rainy day. (I also posted them on my crafting blog “RecordKeeper.wordpress.com”.)

As a note, I’m trying to not cross post with my crafting blog, but wanted to get this info out there: Sure Cuts a Lot may no longer be available to you, depending on how a current lawsuit situation goes with Provocraft where you can cut your files/fonts/shapes/.jpgs with your Cricut (many sad tears). If you want to get it, now’s the time! You may not have tomorrow! Here’s the link.

Click the following link for files: http://cid-962ef967725fa4d7.office.live.com/browse.aspx/.Documents/MAGGIE%20SVG%20Files

Please do not repost them, but you may use them for your own crafting purposes. Do not share the links, but you may link to this post (http://wp.me/pihKz-hI) where friends may obtain them.

Enjoy!

Winter Snow Scene Card

This is a winter scene card I made for our elderly neighbors. It was a little late for Christmas, but snow was still in the air, so I thought a snow scene might be nice. The Liquid Applique makes beautiful snow.

The window was cut out and embossed with Labels 1 Nestabilities. The corners are from a Nestabilities set as well. I’ll have to look up the set, I am not sure what set they go with at the moment!

ME: “MAGGIE”

Sifting the joy from the mundane:

recording, photographing, learning, creating.

I am married to the love of my life, as we raise three children, learning the ways of grace.

Magnanimity (derived from the Latin roots magn- great, and anima, soul) is the virtue of being great of mind and heart. It encompasses, usually, a refusal to be petty, a willingness to face danger, and actions for noble purposes. Its antithesis is pusillanimity. Both terms were coined by Aristotle, who called magnanimity "the crowning virtue."

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the American Language defines Magnanimity as such:

MAGNANIM'ITY, n. [L. magnanimitas; magnus, great, and animus, mind.] Greatness of mind; that elevation or dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranquillity and firmness, which raises the possessor above revenge, and makes him delight in acts of benevolence, which makes him disdain injustice and meanness, and prompts him to sacrifice personal ease, interest and safety for the accomplishment of useful and noble objects.[1] (Source: Wikipedia)
