My Cafe'

I thought this was a great kitchen decoration because we drink lots of coffee...The SCAL cut file is on the right.

I used brown glossy vinyl for the main cut and the hearts are dark red wall pops. Our kitchen is dark red, so it is perfect...

I can get the cut there but it looks like a web address instead of the name of the .cut file. If you have sometime and it's not too much trouble, could you send me directions on how to do this? Please keep them very simple as I am not very computer savvy. Thank you. Happy Holidays.

Lori aka Lo Lo said...: Hi,

Luv your creations! Thx for sharing. I tried to download the first Cafe cut file but when it was saved it was not saved as an svg file. It was saved as scut file and I could not open it in SCAL. Why is that? Which one is for the cups and hearts?

Unknown said...: Thanks for all your great ideas. I see that you get your vinyl from H & H, which vinyl did you choose for your wall. I saw the 3M was for cars and I was afraid it would be too hard to get off my wall and do damage and I saw that the 5 pack was not self adhesive so what would I use to stick it to the wall?

I love those little baby feet.
Could you tell me where to find them? Did you have to put the wholes in the tile?
I am getting ready to order from HH supplies. I e/m them regarding the white w/blue lining. Have you ordered the white vinyl? Is it white/white. Also, in one of your comments she said the 5 pack doesn't have self stick on the back. True?
Thanks for your time.
Happy day.

Have SCAL2? Trace any image with these easy steps...really it's easy!

Images with little detail work the best - images in silhouette form, just black on white.

1. download a picture on your computer - usually if you see an image you can right click right on top of the image with your mouse, and then choose "save" or "save as" rename it if necessary - you can find images on blogs (my blog here too), websites, all over. Put it in a folder on your computer where you can remember. The image should be in the form of a .jpg or .bmp. I have a separate folder for scal files (and then I categorize my images by category)...

2. open scal 2 (this only works in scal2, don't have scal2? click on the link below to get it...)

3. click on the tree symbol (looks like an apple tree) a the top of the screen

4. it will bring up a search box, now find the file you saved, by clicking BROWSE.

5. once you click it and click OK , it will appear right on the scal screen, you can size and change it as needed.

My favorite quotes

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.- Barack Obama
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. - Barack Obama
Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and DO GOOD.
Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or har dwork. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
"What would you do if you knew you would not fail?"
I'm not very religious, but I just like this...Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.
