****NOTE : HEY YALL! WELL I TOLD YOU I WAS STILL FIGURING SOME OF THIS OUT. I AM CUTTING THIS NOW AND CAME UPON A PROBLEM. I NEED TO RE-DO A FEW OF THE FILES FOR THIS. SOME OF THEM DID NOT WELD TOGETHER PROPERLY. SO I AM GOING TO DELETE ALL OF THE FILES ON THE BOARD THAT I HAVE POSTED. I WILL REPOST ALL OF THESE IN A ZIPPED FILE IN JUST A BIT. I DO APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE!!!!! THANKS!!!!*****
Hey yall! Well, this is all new territory for me. So please bare with me while I figure all of these things out.
I noticed on here a few weeks ago a lady was asking for the files for the cutest little boardbook I have ever seen. Here is the link to the book she was wanting....

The book in the link above was created using Cricut cartridges and if you are like me, you do not have all of those cartridges. So I thought I would give it a shot at creating a book for us SCAL users. Now, I tried my best and have been working for weeks, but this is not the exact same. But I think it turned out pretty darn cute, even if I did make it! LOL. I worked so hard on this and learned a lot about Inkscape along the way. I'm sure some other people might could do this in under 15 min, but me being a newbie...it took me that long. I hope someone out there will like it!
There are 7 pages to this book. I tried to keep most of it the same, just using different images. For the third page though (looking through the window), I could not find steps or a child walking down the steps, so I chose to use a little girl who is praying. I think you could add a lot of other cuts to this to make it even better....like presents coming out of the sleigh, ornaments on the tree, toys under the tree, something on the fireplace mantle, etc.
Ok, here is a screenshot of the whole book (bare with me for a few moments...I'll be posting the rest in the post(s) below.
