Some cool SVG Borders for your scrapbooking/cardmaking

So I have been playing about with some basic shapes and tools for the last couple of days...boredom struck again lol, anyhooo managed to come up with some borders to share, hope someone can find something constructive to do with these.

Since I totally suck at Inkscape, I stuck to what I can actually fathom, Make The Cut, so basically as I'm a scrapbooker and I scrapbook on my base piece of card/paper measuring 30cm x 30cm (not 12 x 12) my borders if you import at actual size will be 30cm wide/long or whatever you want to call it, feel free to mess about, manipulate them as much as you need or want to do, sing out if you do something cool and creative with them, I would love to see.



Okay, here are the links for each one...

BRACKET Border SVG

CLOUDY Border SVG

LARGE SCALLOP Border SVG

SCALLOPED EDGE SCALLOP Border SVG

SMALL SCALLOP Border SVG

WAVY 1 SVG 

WAVY 2 SVG

WAVY 3 SVG

WAVY 4 SVG

WAVY BRACKET Border SVG

WAVY STRIP Border SVG


I am off to cook some dinner for the motley crew and perhaps attempt a layout using some of these borders tonight (crossing my fingers) lol.  Please let me know if there is anything that needs fixing (I'm only human)

Enjoy :)

Print & Cut with MTC and Black Cat Cougar....

Wowzer...been a super dooper long day here today, trying to suss out the laser calibration to get my Print & Cut feature working with Make The Cut and Black Cat Cougar.

Finally tonight I have success!!  Wouldn't call it 100% perfect but it's mighty damn close.  After searching forums and blogs and youtube for hours today to find just the right bit of information to sort this mess...in pure defeat and with a can of rum in one hand...GOOGLE SEARCH TO THE RESCUE lol

With this totally awesome find.....
Sheri from My Card Spot had this fabulous TUTORIAL (with pics) thank goodness.... she is now my new Goddess...well for today anyhoo. Finally pictures showing me which way was X and which way was Y and a starting point to finding the right numbers for me...my numbers X -18.5 and Y 26  achieving almost perfect results...had just the tiniest bit of white showing around the bottom of my cut (will post a pic tomorrow when I have some daylight)  Graphic by Lettering Delights (Weather Kids)



So to Sheri....THANKYOU for sharing this awesome information, and I hope that many others who are having issues with this will also be lucky enough to find your post!  You have made my day and my purchase of the Cat just that little bit more exciting....now to find some chipboard that will cut with the machine in Australia!!!  Our chippie is like rock apparently lol lol

OH MY GOSH....It's almost Christmas again!!!!

My how time has flown this year, it's been the most craziest time of my life this year, so many things have been happening, a lot of ups and downs, ended up immersing myself into Facebook Games (lol) to calm the crazies outta me!!!


Scrapbooking has been just about totally missing in action for me for the last 8 months (sadly) but for all of the above reasons, I just haven't been able to get my head in the right place for it.  Time to change that. Still in for some incredibly busy months ahead as we prepare for the chaos we know as Christmas and then the mad crazy back to school organisation...Next January will be here before I know it, and I'm kind of in 2 places about that at the moment, my last bubby is off to Prep in January and I'm pretty darn excited about it...thinking of all those extra kid free scraphappy hours, but there is still that nagging lil sense of loss too,  you mums out there will get what I mean!!!!


Although I've produced not a bloody thing for months on end, I've still been faithfully watching the scrap scene via the web, I have switched from using SCAL Sure Cuts A Lot to MTC Make The Cut, I gotta say, it's an absolutely awesome program!!!  Still getting my braincells into gear and trying to work out different parts of that.  Have recently been to the local scrap store and drooled all over the Cricut Imagine...kinda pretty darn impressed with that lil beauty, but hey, that'll be for another day for me anyhooo.


Anyhooo, I've managed to remember how to update my blog, make a post lol lol time for me to get to work and I look forward to getting some projects up on my blog again soon .... til then, take care and have fun
