It’s our first post of 2017 and like any self-respecting blogger we are going to make this one inspirational, dang it. However, if I’m being real, I have never been one to sit down and actually write resolutions/goals in the new year, but I love the sense that the new year is a fresh start...

As children of a blogger, my kids are cursed to always have a camera in their cute little faces. I tell myself that one day they will thank me when they can go back and see the ways their lives were documented, but for now I am just annoying the heck out of them when I...
Christmas is less than TWO WEEKS AWAY! How can this be? As a procrastinator by nature this is the time when I start getting a little nervous about how few boxes I have checked on my gift list (which are none). For this reason and many more, I was so excited when our friends at Cariloha...
I love a good homemade Christmas gift – especially one that is quick, easy, and personalized! We teamed up with our BFFs at Plaid Crafts to create these etched jars that are so cute for a family or neighbor Christmas gift, and they took less than 30 minutes to make! Who wouldn’t love a jar...
All I want for Christmas is a Diet Coke and a few hours to myself. Really. In my mind there couldn’t be anything better. So, today I am spreading that truest love (the love between a gal and her Diet Coke) with these fun DIY Diet Coke gift tags, perfect for holiday treat gifting. These...
Congrats for teaming up with coke.
If you know me at all then you know that I am pretty staunch on my stance to not decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. I’ll admit it’s not easy when I start seeing the fun decorations popping up in the stores, and my friend’s pretty trees going up on Instagram, but I’ve always been...
You wreath turn out amazing.

hi.. i tried creating this following your instructions. however, my silhouette Portrait just keeps cutting the square around my design, instead of the design itself. any ideas why this is happening? I wrote the words myself and imported it as a jpg into the library. Thanks for any help or suggestions you could offer! 😀
Hi Isabelle! I’m not sure why that would be happening! When you click “Send to Silhouette” and the software outlines what will be cut, does is show a square around the text?
If the file is a jpeg Silhouette will not recognize it as a cut file. You will need to use the trace tool and trace the words. That will make the file cuttable. If you’re not sure how to use the trace feature Youtube has lots of videos on it. Hope that helps!
thanks for the tip!! 😀 is there any file extension for images where this will work? png?
Hi, yes! When I click send, a red box appears around the whole pattern. I’ve tried various settings and sometimes the blade moves across the machine and comes back to rest without doing anything. And on all occasions, Studio says that cutting is complete/successful.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Really appreciate that!
