What is an .SVG file?

If you read my previous post and are wondering what the heck an .SVG file is, here you go:



SVG - Scalable Vector Graphic



Simply put, it is a file format for storing graphics. Individuals create the images using one of a few graphic programs e.g. Adobe Illustrator, Paint Shop Pro, etc. and save them in the .svg format so it is recognizable with your Cricut as an image file so it will cut it according to the graphics code imbedded in it.



The watch out for with .SVG files is that they do not work with the Internet Explorer web browser, so you will have to download Mozilla Firefox, Safari or Opera to download them.



There are many websites out there that have FREE .svg files, and much more out there that charge for them as well.




Here are just a few sites/blogs that offer FREE .svg files:

• mycricutscrapbooking.com
• dscrapbookingroom.blogspot.com
• scraption.com
  

Why use an .SVG file?

• don't have to purchase a specific Cricut cartridge for only one or two images
• saves $ from having to purchase and store multiple Cricut cartridges
  
• easy to store and manage files + relatively small in file size
  
• easy to share with others vs. lending out your Cricut cartridges
• the welding and overlapping work has been done for you
• hint: you can use any of these to cut your vinyl as there are some great .svg files out there designed for vinyl use e.g. wall art, vehicle decals/images, glass work, etc.

I hope this helps as to what an .SVG file is and why you would seek them out online.



If you find any great websites or blogs that offer free .svg files make sure to send them my way and I will post them via my blog for everyone to benefit.



Thnxs!


Patricia :)

Nativity .SVG File

For those of you who use .svg files with your Cricut or Sure Cuts Alot program here is a great link to a FREE .svg file to create your own Nativity Scene using Vinyl.

Finding Time To Scrapbook

Reader Tips: Finding Time To Scrapbook
*As per the latest issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine - October 2010*

Looking for ways to fit scrapbooking into your busy life? Here are a few tricks from fellow scrapbookers.

1. Wake up earlier
Wake up an hour earlier. Each morning add something to your layout. By the end of the week, you should have a completed or nearly completed page.
- D.C. Mohegan Lake, NY

2. Create Kits
Create layout kits that include a few neutral cardstocks, some coordinating patterned papers, and a few embellishments. Grab it and go, or use it right at your table.
- E.H. Phoenix, AZ

3. Take 15 Minutes
If you take 15 minutes of your day doing a scrapbook-related task, you get closer to completing a project than by waiting until you have a bulk of time.
- G.T. Norwalk, CA

4. Crop
I go to a crop once a month. It helps to not be at home having to worry about 20 other things.
J.J. Nicholasville, KY

5. Schedule
I have a cleaning schedule. Once I'm finished with my chores for the day, I can scrap guilt free!
- D.S. Seaside, CA
