Paint Dude - Free Cutter File for Renovating and Home Improvement

While the weather is cooperating, we have a deck to stain! We haven't actually gotten started because it's been TOO hot and we haven't quite figured out how to keep the dog off the surface yet... but I like to be prepared. Whether you're renovating or moving, performing a little home-improvement, sorting BEFORE and AFTER pictures of a painted transformation, or just ready for a change of color...if you have a reason to keep a grinning character with a paint brush hanging around, this file is for you!
Formats include AI, KNK, GSD, SVG (for Cricut with SCAL/ Sure Cuts a Lot), EPS and BMP.
Download the Paint Dude free cutter file here.


The layout I created with this character also features a step ladder, drippy paint overlay in the background and a "wet paint" title...as well as Jolee's accent stickers for the brushes and paint can. If the finished example appeals, the additional files are available for purchase separately at Scrapbookcircus. Happy Friday!~

You're not lost, are you?!

WOW! I didn't think anyone read my blog. *grin* I was under the impression that people arrived here by accident, floundered around in search of an exit, and eventually found their way to wherever they actually meant to go in the first place. I even considered putting up confusing road signs to keep them hanging around a little longer: Turn left right here. You are in Kansas, but your red shoes may be gnawed by my half-wit dog if you click the heels together. Just stay still...DON'T MOVE! NO clicking allowed! (Well...okay. Unless you're looking for the snowman's hat.) I received this Kreativ Blogger Award from Esther at http://estherscreativedesigns.blogspot.com/ ! Thanks Esther!
I'm supposed to list 7 of my favorite things, but I've decided that there's an easier way to see what happens when people arrive here.... We shall SEE if you're paying attention! HA! I've taken a few liberties with the Favorite Things list. Leave your response in a comment and I'll save you the trouble of looking for my file. (NO, not the snowman file. The free one that's always hiding here!) The visitor with the highest total in points will have to cough up their mailing address. I'm insanely amused by surprises, so you'll have to torment me in order to get me to tell you what I'm prepared to send.

Turkey Day in the US sounds a lot like the Canadian version of Boxing Day, which falls a day after Christmas. I have theorized before that they might have named the Canadian date descriptively for competitive behavior standing in line-ups outside stores, but now I'm wondering... Why is it called Black Friday in the US? It may be a dark day in history for turkeys...but I really like the idea of being able to get a better deal and a foot up on Christmas shopping BEFORE Christmas. The seasonal leftovers of most Canadian household budgets usually haven't rebounded from Christmas in order to truly take advantage of Boxing Day sales, so the arrangement across the border seems like much better retail planning. On the bright side...lurking indoors with leftover turkey instead of standing in a lineup isn't exactly a hardship: shopping online is something we can do any time, and no one will tell you to drop the drumstick while wandering through the store. *grin*
Happy Thanksgiving!

I have been REALLY busy lately, so it only looks as if I've fallen from the face of the earth. Part of the fun lately has been my new obsession working with the new electronic die-cutting machine that I purchased at the end of April this year: I bought a 13" Klic-N-Kut from http://www.thatsscrapinc.com. You wouldn't believe the things you can do with this machine! Stay tuned for more examples or consider lurking in the forum linked above...you might even be able to separate a used cutter from one of the lurkers here when they're upgrading to the new MAXX!
