Freebie Friday: Autumn Word Art – Silhouette Project

Published by Sula H.

Die-cutters, take heed! It’s Friday, and I have a something little special to share with you today. If you’re a proud owner of a Silhouette machine, this one’s for you!

It’s a little piece of word art that would make a nice decoration for your home …

What you’ll get in this freebie is a Silhouette Studio file. The words will be a little larger than you see in the Silhouette Studio preview, to fit my large frame, but you can easily resize it to meet your needs. I just used colored card stock to cut out the individual words, but you could also just print and cut. (If you print and cut, my recommendation is to offset each letter (spread the letters and words out a little more, creating more than one page) and fill that extra little bleeding space with the same color as the word. It’ll prevent to have white edges where the machine may not cut exactly at the edge of the printed character. After cutting, I adhered everything on an off-white card stock background and placed it in my frame. It’s an easy project that doesn’t take much time to do, but it makes a lovely piece of decoration.

At any rate, I hope you’ll have fun with this (and there’s still a couple of weeks for you to enjoy it, if you want to play with it right away). Just remember that my terms of use apply, so all products from mistyhilltops.com are for personal use only.

 

And now I’m excited to give you a little peak at what’s coming next …

Starting next week, I’ll be sharing this little Christmas goodie with you:

_mhtdesigns_decemberstories_folderMy mom was so kind to photograph the last piece of elements that I still needed (wanted) for this kit, and you’ll get more than with your average kit, lately, and it’ll be perfect to scrap all those December Daily moments. So, don’t forget to come back next week to start collecting this freebie. (And I made sure to start sharing so early that you’ll get the last part in early December, giving you plenty of time to play with it this season!

At any rate, I’m off to scrap all my CT goodies coming this weekend for Digital Scrapbooking Day (yum!), but I wish you a great weekend, and happy scrapping/crafting!

Happy Leaks

Published by Sula H.

Von Glücklichen Löchern

 

Guess, what this means …

Ratet mal, was dies bedeutet:

 131031-IMG_0122

 

Well, it means 2 things. 1) That it’s raining outside, and 2) that the leaks in the lobby roof are happily thriving!

Nun, es bedeutet zweierlei. 1) Dass es draussen regnet, und 2) dass die Löcher im Dach der Lobby ganz glücklich wachsen und gedeihen!

Now, instead of just a few buckets here and there, our lobby is littered with them, and instead of getting fixed, the number of them increases, which also means that  crossing of our lobby has become a great adventure, a struggle for survival so to speak, because you never know when you’ll hit a wet spot that might take you down! But then, who likes to have a boring life when there’s so much adventure to be had?

Nun, anstelle von ein paar Eimern hier und da, ist unsere Lobby übersät mit Behältern, und anstelle dass die Löcher repariert werden, werden es immer mehr, was auch bedeutet, dass das Durchqueren unserer Lobby zu einem großen Abenteuer geworden ist … weil man nie weiss ob man eine nasse Stelle erwischt, die einen niederstreckt! Aber dann wiederum, wer möchte schon ein langweiliges Leben haben, wenn man so viele Abenteuer erleben kann?

Hybrid Hub: Autumn Word Art

Published by Sula H.

For weeks now I’ve been sharing some of my diy-cards for my hybrid posts. But hybrid and diy isn’t just only cards. It can be other fun stuff as well. Like this framed autumn word art project that I created a couple of weeks ago, and that now makes a nice piece of decoration in my living room.

With my Silhouette I just cut a couple of words, which I arranged on a large piece of craft paper to put in a frame. I added a little leaf for which I had left a blank spot. Done! But it really makes a nice piece of decoration. And if you come back tomorrow, you can download the silhouette studio file with which I made these words …

You can grab them from twiggstudios.com.

A Culture Week of Firsts

Published by Sula H.

Eine Kulturwoche der Neuheiten

 

So, here I am, talking of how there’s nothing really new to share with you, when in fact it’s actually a culture week of firsts. Like today. It’s been raining. And while rain really isn’t anything new, that it pours down on culture week IS! So, for the first time, culture week, which actually is an outdoor event more than anything, has been taken inside, into the big gym on campus.

 

Da bin ich also, und rede davon, dass es eigentlich nichts Neues über die Kulturwoche zu berichten gibt, während diese Woche tatsächlich eigentlich eine Woche voller Neuerungen ist. Wie z. B. heute. Es regnet. Und während Regen an sich nichts Neues ist – dass es während der Kulturwoche wie aus Strömen gießt, hat es in der Tat noch nicht gegeben. So wurden zum ersten Mal alle Aktivitäten, die eigentlich Open Air stattfinden sollen, nach drinnen, in die große Sporthalle verlegt.

 

And since it’s Africa Day, here are a couple of pics …

Und weil heute Afrika Tag ist – hier sind ein paar Fotos …
