Quilling with the cricut (or scissors if you don’t have one!)

I am constantly amazed by the stuff you can make with the cricut. I was looking at the $50 paper fringers at the craft store the other day and wondered if I could make a file that I could cut with the cricut using SCAL software to make quilling fringe for flowers and guess what? [...]

I made a font!

..and don’t I feel clever! I made a cute little font filled with stick people, cupcakes, bugs and flourishes here is a preview: I designed it to work with SCAL so you can cut the shapes with the Cricut…and low and behold it does! You can download Linny’s Stickfont here. Wow, that was fun, I [...]

“Copic, Copic, Copic!” Remember the episode of the Brady Bunch when the left out Jan whined “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!”?
