Halloween Designs -

[jfruhling]

Hello all,
I am brand new here - my machine arrives tomorrow.
I have been doing design forever so the design of sag files will be super easy for me - the problem for me will be the 3D layered stuff but I will get there eventually…
I wanted to see if there were any more Halloween 3D designs that anyone would be willing to share the files as i am a halloween FREAK and will be making plenty of decorations for my office etc…
I will be most happy to return the favor with 2D cut designs etc… I will be posting in the next week or two as I get my machine rolling!
Thanks all!!!

Getting started

Then there is this post talking about materials, tools, and extras that are good to have:

Counting down.... last minute materials lists?

Ok…next week is my scheduled email date. (Yes…kinda excited!) I’ve saved vacation days… and bought up every small box the I thought would fit in a GF even with taking the tops off. I’ve also held onto a bonus work gave out for Christmas. Cutting boards I have on my list… and acrylic… any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also… if I order proofgrade items… what is the turnaround? Thank you very much…
