How to not Lose it (the center that is) when Welding

Here is an excerpt from the email I received asking for help. "Okay…..worked for a long time on this and couldn’t get it to weld. When it welds only the inside of the “r” “e” and “a” appear…the outside doesn’t even though it is connected to the bottom rectangle"

I hope this tutorial helps you see how to not have this happen. Thanks Suzanne for the question.

Another Cool Overlay

I didn't intend to create this. But, I was just messing around, trying a bunch of things and my husband walked in and goes, "Did you make that?" I just said yes, and he says, "Well, it is my favorite so far". So, I decided I better cut it out and add it to my store. The more I look at it, the more I love it. If you like it too, the file is available for download at my store.

Overlay Obsession

Well, for some reason, I'm having a blast creating these paper lace/mesh overlays. I really love the challenge of them. They aren't really hard, but they are time consuming...anyway, here are two that I did today. The cutting files are at my store.

Mesh Overlay

I have been having some fun creating an overlay. This is my first 'mesh' style. I have the file on my store website now too, if you like it.
