August 4th is a week and a half away and we will once again meet at Absolutely Everything from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m for our Silhouette group meeting.

Planning on continued review of the new software, mainly the tools on the left side and also checking out the preferences.

Show and tell.....bring it along for us to ooooh and aaaaah over.

Want to also lead you to some good free fonts that we can use in a challenge to make subway art.  Also, I have had some fun with finding free dingbats (images replacing letters in font formats).  Clever Someday website has a list of reliable downloads of dingbat sites.  In the same vein,  DaFont has always been a safe and reliable place for fonts and also has dingbats.  Don't forget we can take those dingbat images and turn them into cutting files with the Trace feature.  We'll also talk about this at our meeting.

How about a challenge for those of you attending the meeting (and a chance to win a prize of great value......at least a dollar)!    Theme:    It's a party!   Make anything, banners would be a fun, party favor boxes, invites, table decorations,  wall decorations,  flags, vinyl images on glasses,  etc. etc.  And don't just think of birthdays, holidays are on the way.

Always look forward to our meeting, seems new ideas flow from you ladies and I love it!!
