Merry Christmas Block Lettering

Posted on by rhondaComments Off on Merry Christmas Block Lettering Tagged ,

This might sound familiar but it’s worth repeating if I do say so myself. If you’ve ever made Christmas cards, then you know it’s very helpful to have all the bits and pieces together before you start glueing anything down. It’s akin to cooking a gourmet dish because things can get out of control pretty quickly with glue drying while you look for something still stashed away. I have found that I really like to create words where all the letters are attached or welded together. That just turns them into another embellishment and I don’t have to glue each individual letter down. I try to attach little dots or punctuation marks so they don’t become tiny, individual pieces that seem to immediately jump off my desk and get lost forever.

I used royalty free fonts to create these images and I hope you find them as charming and useful as I did.

Download Steps:

Hover over “The Vault” across the top of this page to reveal the pull-down menu.

Select the file you want to download and click on it. The file will automatically download to your computer.

Typically, you can find the files in the “Downloads” folder on your computer. It will be compressed or “zipped” if there is more than one file for the item you selected.

Double click to access the files or right-click and choose to extract the files to a folder you designate on your computer for immediate and future use.

If you have any questions, then please let me know and I’ll be happy to assist.

Painted Lady Butterfly

Posted on by rhondaComments Off on Painted Lady Butterfly Tagged ,

If you love the Vanessa Cardui (also known as the Painted Lady), then you can use this file to cut out your very own beautiful butterfly. Resize and cut as many as you want!

Do you need a painted lady in your life? Umm YES! Previously appearing online elsewhere for sale but now offered in my vault for free download is this beautiful butterfly. I remember the day I made this file. I had just seen one of these beauties in my flowerbed and I had to know what kind of butterfly it was. So, I set about researching and by that evening I had drawn it out. Oh, the wonder of nature and how I marvel to imagine how many places my beloved, little painted lady butterfly visitor might have frequented before delighting me that day!

Older but still valuable SVG files in my vault

Posted on by rhondaComments Off on Older but still valuable SVG files in my vault Tagged

If you go to my vault, then you will have access to the free SVG files that I’ve made. In the future this will be password protected, so get in now and tell your friends!

There are many good designs to use for making cards and scrapbook pages or in some cases: cut out vinyl for gifts, decor or embellishments. In addition to the SVG files, you’ll see there are digital paper packs, individual digital papers, and other printables.

There really is a lot to choose from and hopefully enjoy.

When I created these items, I was working on my old Scrapbookaloo business which was focused on scrapbooking and I created some sticker sets. So, some of the images were originally developed to go along with those stickers. In the vault, I tried to place a picture next to each SVG or printable file available to give an idea of what it’ll look like…or what it looked like when I created them long ago. Please, use them as you wish for your own projects.

This post is meant to give a small introduction to what on Earth those images are so that you would understand it really was me who made those even though I created them before Rhonda Creations ever existed. A little back story: I was starting to get a good rhythm going with Scrapbookaloo and had begun designing digital kits and images to sell (many of which coordinated with the stickers I’d developed). Once the housing bubble of 2008/2009 burst, I ended up losing the business due to non-existent sales when people realized they needed to forego the hobby expense.

It was a somewhat abrupt end to my upward trajectory since the scrapbooking and paper-crafting industry as a whole took a steep downward trend. I spent a lot of time creating things, so you can imagine how dearly I’ve coveted those creations. Luckily now, I can share them with anyone who wants to access them through this new vault. I did spend a bit of time loading them into the Cricut design space to see if they will look and behave properly and I’m happy to report that they do! Cheers abound!

Incidentally, did you know you can look up old websites on the internet archive? Search for the “way back machine” or visit Wayback Machine (archive.org). Once you get there, you can search for any URL. To look for my site, type in scrapbookaloo.com. A bar graph comes up detailing the dates when the archive “crawled” that site. Near that graph (that runs across the whole screen), you’ll see dates detailing the range and those dates are links. Click the link to see the pages of my old site back in the day.
