New FREE Cutting File...YAY!! Scalloped Flower Frames in GSD, SVG, AI, WPC & KNK formats.

Wow, has this summer been flying by! I can't believe my kids are back to school in 3weeks. I'm sad, I love having them home! I could do without the sibling quarrels, but all in all summers are great.

I made this freebie to co-ordinate with a new series of cards I've designed. They are in my Card Cuts series, and all have Peek-A-Boo features that allow a sentiment or other die cut to pop through. You can add pop dots or Sticky Doos to give the die cut some dimension & it really makes them look great! Check them out, I'm really excited about them & hope you will be too! They can be purchased individually, or as a collection of 4 for 50% off.


Here is the link for the current free file:

That was SO much fun giving away a file, that I want do it some more!! So, this is what I'm thinking...between the "Boy Oh Boy" file & the "Girly Girl" file they were downloaded over 800 times. I know summers are busy, but if you make a layout, a card, wall art...or, anything with either of those files, just snap a picture of it & send it my way via email as a jpg. I'll choose a winner (or winners) from those who enter. Then, the winner (or hopefully winners) will get to pick a free, single file of mine from the store. I guess it depends how many people enter, but I would be thrilled if I have to pick 3, 4 or 5 winners! Win, win situation...you get a chance to win a FREEBIE file & have your design published, AND you get a project or page finished doing it. Woo hoo!!!!!

Fine print...by submitting your design to me, you are giving me the ok to post your beautiful, gorgeous, amazing winning design here on my blog & possibly at the store to go along with the file to showcase how the file would look cut and help give people ideas. I will of course give you design credit. You must use either the Boy Oh Boy or Girly Girl file in your design. Contest deadline is July 3rd & I will announce winners on July 4th (note I am being positive here by saying WINNERS, plural). Please put "Blog Candy Contest" in the email title. Good luck...I can't wait to see your designs!!

Also, if you've read this far...here is another secret. Leave a comment on my blog under future freebies & each time I will use the random generator to pick a winner who will get a free file of their choice.

Have a great week :o)

My first blog post...

Welcome to my new blog!

OK, this is definitely going to challenge me because I'm going to have to overcome my fear of writing. I hope to blog often about all things related to digital cutting machines & the files that they use, tips on designing digital files & getting the most out of your designing software. I have a Klic-N-Kut cutter, and love the KNK Studio software that comes with it. I also use Adobe Illustrator CS3 to design with and convert the files to other formats. I will be giving away FREE digital files, so keep an eye out :o). I have just become a designer for Visual Designs by Chris, she does amazing work & I am so proud to join her team.

I guess I should introduce myself a bit. I'm Darcy and I live in Illinois. I have an awesome, and very busy life chasing after four kids. We do a TON of soccer, both my boys play travel. And, travel we do...we have been as far as Florida for tournaments. As a matter of fact, when Nicky was just 3 days old he had already been to 5 soccer games. I may has well have given birth to him on the fields. My daughter, Jessica does a lot of theater with a great community program called CYT...Christian Youth Theater. They are an amazing group of people, and they do amazing shows. Almost...professional level. You may have seen their shows, they have locations all over the country. And, unlike myself Jessica loves to write. She has already won awards for her writing, and been invited to be reviewer of books for a kids magazine. My seven year old does team gymnastics as well as his travel soccer. And, Nicky...well poor Nicky just gets dragged to everything :o). My husband is a bit of a work-a-holic, but he still does an awesome job of being a part of everything we do.
