Hello Thursday

[NemoMom07]

I the Toy Story cart! My ds favorite character is Buzz Lightyear. I always ask him why and he says "he flies in outer space". Plus we are in the process of turning his room into a Outer Space/Buzz Lightyear theme.

The link for the Toy Story cart no longer works. Someone did post an image over on the cricut board. I really hope this is true ... I'm not holding my breath tho ... if it does come out it will take forever to hit the stores. Heck ... I still haven't seen the Batman or Superman in the M's or ACM near me. Hello Thursday doesn't excite me like it first did. I don't like having to wait forever for these carts.

I think I'll be able to resist the Toy Story one. I think Buzz will be hard because of all the colors on his wings, etc. Not to mention Slinky-dog's inner spring!

DIT - Just remember, I did your Mr Potato Head paper piecing BEFORE the Toy Story cart came out!

I don't like that mixed up sneak peek either. Figures they'd come out with a cat cartridge just when I'm about to finish my kitty's album.

You rock!!

NEE, your Mr. Potato Head was awesome and I love having him on my page that you made!!! I wish I could do things like that, but I'm just not that talented (or patient). I need the Cricut!!!

Do you have a picture of your Mr. Potato Head that you could share here? I'd love to see him.
I best I could do on my own was a Disney bus.

Here is NEE's Mr. Potato Head on the page she made for me in a swap. Isn't he great?

YES he is!!! I love him!!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'll take two to go please.

 

[ColleenG]

That is one awesome spud!

 

[New England Eeyore]

Thanks, ladies! I was pretty happy with him!

He was my first (successful) paper piecing done using a coloring page via SCAL and Inkscape. If anyone has SCAL version 2, I'm happy to share the file. PM me your email address.

After vacation, I'll see if I can whip up a few extras to go to some worthy homes.

Hi, NEE - I'll be PMing you - love your 'tater! (No rush - getting the files before or after your vacation is just fine...)

I was going to try the same SCAL/Inkscape steps yesterday - to do a Stitch. But, I got reading instead, so I'll try this another day. I've got photos kitted up showing a radiant DS being smothered in hugs by Stitch in front of the Carousel of Progress from our 2007 trip. They are wonderful - so I'd love to do a paper piecing for that layout. Now, just to find the time!

Pam my friend Rhonda made awesome stitch's one time. I mean they were soooo nice. You should ask her if she still has one. She might!

 

[PinballFamily]

Hmmmm...did she now? I'll have to chase her down to find out! (Actually, I have a call into her - had a long talk with Rannnnnnnnnn on Friday - but the Queen was sleeping!)

Thanks

Pam - if you don't want to go messing with the coloring pages and the extra steps there are some easier Stitches out there:

Mardenz has 2 on her blog - http://mardenz.blogspot.com/2009/05/stitch.html those are already broken apart. She has SOOOO much awesome stuff - definitely check out her whole site.

Also, have you (or Danica) used http://www.vector-cartoons.com/? You have to register there and you can have up to 3 free downloads per week. If you choose the right type of file, they will also be already broken apart when you open them. For a PC, it's WMF files. On a Mac, I did the EPS file, which required one extra step (that I can't remember at this moment but it wasn't hard.) (They spell it wrong there - Stich in case you search and can't find him.)

I have a few bookmarked that I just haven't gotten around to cutting yet - I do have a few Lilo and Stitch layouts to do.

 

[ZeroToHero]

Ooooooo. Signing up now. I love me some vectors.

 

[PinballFamily]

Thanks, NEE! (You are the best!)

Off to work this a.m. - sorry I'll miss you today. But I'll check these links out and let you know how I make out. I can always practice my technique with another character later. Why re-invent the wheel?

Merci beaucoup!!!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Thanks for the Mr. Potato Head file, Suzanne!
