Hang it up close to your PC/MAC so it easy to just throw an eye on it, when you are designing. Here is a link to Silhouette America en the Manual Happy Creating;)

Hi there, and Yes I'm really addicted to #Fonts at the moment, and it is hard to force my self not to download all of them. When you have a lot of fonts and images in your Silhouette Studio, it takes longer time to open, so be careful. This website Cool Text , have some really good Dingbats and Dingfonts, Free to download, and they even can make a logo for you. This was my firts choice for Halloween Image by Cool Text: Free Logos and Buttons - Create An Image Just Like This But the Dingfonts were those that catch my eyes, and I did download just a few, to see how they works in Silhouette Studio.

She loves to cook and to bake, and she always give her friends, a piece, whatever she have made. I found a cute glass jar to put the tags into. Here you can download Your Free Silhouette v3 file I first made a design in Silhouette Studio Design, that I decorated as abow. Printed and cutted it out in my Silhouette Cameo 1, and allso made the offseted background.   Distressed the outer edge of the white piece with Tim Holtz Distress Ink -vintage photo-.  Made 2 holes for the brads on each side on the printed piece.  Put some 3D-tape on the backside of the printed piece. Merried them together and made a hole thru both pieces in the corner for the ribbon. And here is the finished result!  I can say that my friend was over thrilled for it. Happy Creation;) Anki J

Hi there, October is a Pink month to pay attention to all strong women and families who are fighting breast cancer. Life rushes forward in a mighty momentum with family, work, friends, leisure, and everything that makes life worth living. But then something happens and you stop and wonder how could this happen to me? The cancer took my mother's life in 2000. Breast cancer sufferers me and my family in 2010, when I was only 49 years. The diagnosis was the most dangerous kind, there were many surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation for 1 year. I lost my hair and felt terribly bad. But we did it, my family and me. Without my husband, I had never survived. To all women out there who are fighting breast cancer. Do not give up !  Happy Creation;) Anki J

Hi there, Happy Sunday and time for a new Freebie, and tutorial. This week I have made a beautiful painting to one of my granddaughters. I hope she is going to be happy for it. Here you can download Your Free Silhouette v3 file And here is the tutorial for it, but you can also cut it out in vinyl. I started to paint my canvas (15,5 x 12 ") white,  Cutted out the Free Girl-Owl on some vinyl that I don't use, And remember to cut out all the lines. Put the vinyl on the canvas, litle bit tricky to get is straight,  Draw a line round the pattern.  Used the folkArt paint Started with the black eyes and eyelashes, just pull out the vinyl, and paint them black, and move on to next color and so on, untill the hole painting is filled with color.  This is how mine look when it was half way through the process. And I have to make two layers of color.  A close up, and as you can see, the eyelashes, you have to paint over them with the pink paint, and

Hi there, Yes, wat can we use our "leftovers" of Vinyl? I started to have a ton of them now. So I sorted the colors and put the "ugly" one aside to use as a stencil, for painting on canvas, fabric and even on walls. Here is how I made these lovely cushions for our bedroom. I started in the Silhouette Studio and took a look in "my library", and find some really nice phrases to use. Life is beautiful from designer Basic Grey and I do believe in fairies from Silhouette. And I also made the Letters A, & and B for me and my husbands first letter in our names I made them to fit the fabric and cut them out on my leftover vinyl, Painted them in Fabric color. Before I painted them I put some paper inside the cushions so the paint couldn't go thru to the backside of it.  The finished painted Fairies. Before I put them on my cushions, I ironed them, so I can wash them in the future. I'm so happy with the result! Hap

Hi there, I have notice that my two printers don't come out with the same colors when I print out same designs, so I did a Color Chart, same as in Silhouette Studio Software. Printed it out on my two printers and what I notice was that there is not the same colors. My printer in Thailand is a HP deskjet and in Sweden I have a Epson. So I thought maybe someone else have the same problem. Below here you can find the SVG file for it just click on the picture. Hej på er, jag har märkt att min 2 skrivare inte skriver ut samma färger när jag använder dem på samma design. Så jag gjorde ett färgschema samma som Silhouette Studios. Skrev ut det med mina olika printrar och då såg jag att nyansskillnaden var stor. Min skrivare i Thailand är en HP deskjet och i Sverige har jag en Epson. Så här nedan kan du skrivat ut färgschemat på din skrivare för att se hur den kommer att se ut vid utskrift. Bara klicka på bilden så kommer du till nedladdnings sidan.  This is how it ca
