Pencil Toppers - have any of our own Cute Digitisers ever made pencil topper designs? I've been hunting but there are too many pages for my slowing-down computer to cope with ..........AlmaG.

Lee did a cute Pencil Holder - that looked like a pair of levi's and she did some great Halloween Sucker Holders.

Shirlene - if you get time could you let me know who Lee is and where will I find her levi pt's, please? Am I missing something here???

Thanks Shirlene - I didn't buy them but I did see that the pt's were not cut close to the outline stitching and they still look fine. That's something I've learnt. My first pt's were trimmed close and they took a long time to get neat.

A huge thank you to all those ladies who sent in some helpful information for me. I really appreciate you taking the time and effort. This will spur me on to a more determined effort to use all of the designs offered. Isabelle and her friends, and all my other grandchildren will benefit from your help this Christmas.

Hi Janet - well, I think you'll be on a winner, selling them plus pencil for $1. Do you have all the designs mentioned below? Or do you just do Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving and Christmas at this time of the year? I like that the Embroidery Garden gives the design in multiple stitching choices, 1, 4, 6 and 11 for big hoops.

Alma, I see you have found your sites. I too used aunty M's freebies. Design by SiCK also has some. Did you see the ones I made in projects? Those are from Embroidery Garden also.They are fun and quick to make...

Juli had a free sample in each of her sets. Needless to say, the valentine frog is my favorite!Jo ps, it's been a while, but the samples might just be for lollipops-though the sets are for both-, but you can just sew the hole a bit on each side to make it smaller.

Thank you so much for these three leads. I'll make the Thanksgiving lollipop-topper, too. I think I will get the three complete sets next year. I'm sure that I can make good use of all of those designs.

Thank you so much. I did see this one the other day and didn't download it - I've got it now.
I'm just interested in any pencil topper designs right now.

I too find it time consuming Alma to locate Designs by Cuties. There are some on the sites listed below, I'm still looking for you. Love and blessings Chris

Hi Chris - thank you for you help. I've got the embroiderygarden Christmas Tree design and it looks good. I'm going to make the set of 6 at a time for Isabelle, grand-daughter in Arizona, for a gift when we go over in six weeks' time.
I'd like to get annthegran's pencil toppers but I have to become a member to do that.
I have all the necessary tools, e.g. 3D Pro.Emb.Suite, to make my own pencil toppers except the knowledge. I'll just have to buckle down and see if I can make any sense out of the instruction books.
Aren't you up to your neck in your church work right now?? I appreciate you finding time to help me hunt but I think we've exhausted what Google has to offer. That's why I wondered if any of the DBC digitisers had ever created pencil topper designs.
Thanks again for trying for me... AlmaG.

I forgot to say that I also went into Aunty M's website and found a free Santa Face p/t and a free Christmas Angel p/t as well as her Christmas Tree p/t's above.
I'll have a good selection for Isabelle.

Hmmm - I didn't see the Santa Face p/t or the Christmas Angel p/t
