Thank you - Elvis style

Hello
This is Pam from TheBugBytes and Papillon Digital Designs today on She's a SassyLady.
Thanks Sheila for having me as one of your DT.
Today I have a Thank you card - Elvis style.
I updated my Imagine and started cutting with it. Was so happy it worked but after printing some paper and cutting some images it started showing missing ink cartridge when I tried to do advanced calibration . Grrrr..!! And it's a new ink cartridge to boot.
Now I know why I gave up and went with another machine. Well we will see I will try troubleshooting and updating again!
Well anyway at least got this one card out of it. This is from Imagine - Greeting card

Inside of the card

Thanks Sheila for having me here

Challenge #77 at DS4J - Use Recycled item and snowflake

This week the challenge at DS4J is sponsored by Elenor
and the theme is USE RECYCLED ITEMS PLUS ADD A SNOWFLAKE. You have until Tuesday 15th October 2013 to play and post your link at DS4J

It's still a little bit warm here in Texas! But yes I want the holidays.
I have used Gilly Gluwein . She is one of my favorite winter gal image. I colored ger up with copics

I recycled the twine from another project and also the kraft cardstock is recycled kraft CS. Ha Ha so are all the pattern paper. To hide the tears and smudges I added more of it and distressed it up with distress ink ( tea ,soot, antique linen)

The sentiment I think is from waltzing mouse or paper trey ink. Not sure. The snowflakes are from spellbinder (big ones) and rest from a border punch. The embossing folder is Nellie snellen winter village embossing folders which I got from here - http://dutchpapercrafts.blogspot.com/2013/05/memory-box-frames-and-nellie-snellen.html

Now I do want to enter the card in some challenges

Shh! It's a secret

Misteri - Santa's secret is also another one of the new releases this Sunday at http://www.digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/ (for blog to inspire you check this link - http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com/ )

The frame is Memory box Frostyville 98718. And I also used the Large Debutante Frame.

The Poinsettia is from Anna Griffin Winter Wonderland cut at 3.5

The Pattern Papers are from - Mr.Frosty Imagine cartridge. Yep I broke out my Imagine for this too but only for the background paper. The border is from MS punch.

Of course used color box chalk ink to chalk edges and also used distress ink antique ink to antique it up a bit

Now to enter the card in some challenges

Secret Ingredient:

Baking set by Margy is one of the new releases this Sunday at http://www.digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/ (for blog to inspire you check this link - http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com/ )

I did break out my Imagine for this. I updated it. It still cuts offset at left edges and at the bottom. So I found a way around. I cut only top half of the mat.. I don't waste the paper as I flip it around and use it for next step. I do take care not to exceed the cut area. If I do want bigger then I have except I set the bleed way over. Of course used color box chalk ink to ink edges

The imagine cartridge for pattern paper, background paper and the images is Kate's Kitchen

The doily and the top of the mat for image is from Cheery Lynn doily DL231.

I used the angel wing for the mat top half and doily itself for the doily.

Now to enter the card in some challenges

This card was a random choice winner at http://ynschallenges.blogspot.com/2013/10/yns-fun-friday-challenge-4-winnerstop.html

Misteri - The Artist

Misteri - The Artist is one of the release at http://www.digistamps4joy.co.za/eshop/ (for blog to inspire you check this link - http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com/ )

Made a card colored with copics and yeah broke out my sewing machine. Love this stitch.

Yep I hand drew that palette. Wish I had drawn it on Illustrator though.

Thought of splashing some paint on her dress but then decided to leave her neat. She wears an apron while painting.. So oppsite to me. I am a messy painter!

Loved making that flower and isn't that flourish so perfect for the flower.

Flower - Ek punch (large, medium and small)

The flourish - Marianne Creatables - LR0157

Some challenges I want to enter this card into

SACIRC1 - Brother circular attachment

I wanted to get the brother circle attachment for some time now.

But problem the machines that this part is listed for are just a few the Innov and QC
And asking sewing shops and even brother was no help at all! Brother only could say if you tell your machine name that it does not fit. Well that was no help to me. Tried asking in Amazon but no help there too.

So did some research and watched videos . So here goes. (BTW this will not fit embroidery only machine like pe700 as it does not have decorative stitches)
Check your needle plate if there is a screw hole placed in lower right bottom of it then YES it will most probably fit. The area space where the feed dogs go is pretty big so that won't be a problem. There are 2 more holes where the prongs go and most of the new machines the computer ones will have these.

But pictures speak more than words so let me give you an eg of 3 different machines - needle plate
First is se400 or the one from costco LB-6800. And YES - SACIRC1 will fit in both

(the photo of needle plate of from http://www.sewingpartsonline.com . I photoshopped and added rest of the details). well now you know where you can go to get spare parts for your machine :)

And now for machines the new ones like XR1300, XR1355 (both available at costco) and also HC 1850.
These too have the hole in bottom right corner where the screw goes and the 2 holes for the prongs of the attachment. SO YEAH the attachment will fit. And yes I tried in mine. I ordered mine from here - http://www.sewvacdirect.com/brother-circular-sewing-attatchment-bundle/.
As you can guess I sent emails here, to ken sewing and to all brands (these were the only places I found where the attachment has a decent price. While others replied and said ask brother and it might not fit- Alan Barczynski of sewvacdirect was the only one who said that even though he does not know that I could always
try and if it does not fit return it back.
Ok now let's see the needle plate in these machines

Now the last of the machines. I had xr7700 before I had to return that as it kept giving me error and the feed dogs fed the cloth at an angle like when you drive a car and take your hands off and it veers to one side. Well that's what was happening to mine. Loved that machine but. And more reason to get it from costco as they really care for their customers.

Now this is a machine which does not have the screw in the bottom right. BUT that's no big deal if you are willing to just tape the right corner. The screw on this attachment is small and just in one place so it will be no biggie to tape it. and try as long as you don't pull at it hard.

Well of course the easiest is avoid getting the attachment altogether and just use a thumb tack :) and save your dollars. But this is convenient and it comes with additional goodies and 2 extra feet - cording and braiding.

Here's the needle plate for this machine

So here are some photos I took (at night so sorry for the light). Click on the photo to make it larger. The photo below was taken after removing the feet and from the back

(so the screw hole is seen on the top left from this view)

The attachment turned to the back so you can see the prong and the hole where the screw goes (thats's the tiny one on top right)

The tiny screw

I have added the screw . see how smal it protrudes? That's what is holding the whole attachment with the prongs too. So that's why if you don't have a place to screw it but you have the holes for the prongs then you can tape and still use this.

Still looking from the back as that's how you can get the unhindered look . I have placed the attachment on the machine. You can see where the screw and the prongs go in hopefully

View from front left

Wow wasn't that detailed. Hopefully that answers some questions and will help someone in their research lol.
