    Thanks. Screenshots are helpful. Does it happen all of the time, or just every once in awhile? I can't seem to replicate the error.

    Today's the day! Just get them to me at somepoint today. Then I'll assemble the eBook between turkey bastings tomorrow.

    Anybody else like to jump in? I'd love to get to 10 designers this year. Ornament patterns need to be either emailed or PMed to me by Wed. I'll assemble the book and it will be available over Thanksgiving weekend! Here's who we have so far: @Travis - Received @don in brooklin on - Received @WayneMahler - Received @Oges @meflick - Received @RabidAlien - Received @MrsN @jollyred - Received

    It's getting closer. I know I have to get my designs in! If we can get 2 more designers, we'll have 50 new patterns this year. Who can help us out? @Travis @don in brooklin on - Received @WayneMahler - Received @Oges @meflick - Received @RabidAlien - Received @MrsN @jollyred - Received

    Hmmm....I'm not seeing it. Is it still doing that for you? Can you post a screenshot?

    Here's who we have so far. Can we get to 10 volunteers? That would add 50 new patterns! @Travis @don in brooklin on - Received @WayneMahler - Received @Oges @meflick @RabidAlien - Received @MrsN @jollyred - Received

    Hi Ray. I sent you a PM.
  9. Travis
    If you send me a link to the ones you want removed, I can take care of that for you. You can PM me with the links.

    I don't really know...sometimes it does that one, other times it does the other emoji....I'll have to dig in the file structure and remove the old ones or something. something strange is happening, I just don't know what.
  11. Travis
    Ha!....I'm with you. I'll have to dig around and see if I can find them again. It defaulted to these dumb looking ones. I like our other ones too.

    Here's a quick video I made showing the detailed steps in duplicating the ornaments in the Ornament Kit. Just in case you're having trouble.

    I'm not familiar with Corel Draw, but I'd imagine you could. SVG is a pretty generic file format.

    Check at the bottom of the page and make sure you didn't accidently group them. If they're grouped, you can ungroup them with Ctrl+Shift+G. To union them, marque select all of the parts of the ornaments, then Path>Union. Let me know if you run into any other issues.

    Hi All. If you're having trouble with the Ornament Kit, you can post here for support, PM me, or email me at travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com. I think the #1 common issue that I'm seeing is that you need Inkscape installed on your computer in order to open and edit the ornaments. You can download Inkscape for free at Inkscape.org. Also note, that you need to have a working knowledge of Inkscape. You don't have to be a pro, but you should have the basics down. I tried to be clear about it in my description, but I think it's worth repeating. Let me know if I can assist.

    Awesome! We have our first 4. Who else is in!? @Travis @don in brooklin on - Received @WayneMahler @Oges

    Hi All. Last year, I created this custom ornament kit. It basically is a template that you can create personalized Christmas ornaments. Everybody seemed to really like it, so I created another version with all new designs for 2020! I like to think of it as a mini scroll saw business-in-a-box. With this kit, you can create as many custom ornament patterns as you want. You can easily personalize them with someone's name or date. You can sell your custom ornaments to friends and family, online places like Etsy, or for craft fairs and church bizarres. You can also sell custom patterns to your fellow scrollers! Here's an overview on how the kit works: I'm releasing it earlier this year because I had a few folks who wanted to get a jump on the holidays (I don't blame you!). I'm also putting the Personalized Holiday Ornament Kit 2020 on sale for 50% off through Cyber Monday! So right now, you can pick it up for only $10, which is a screamin' deal! It's my way of saying Thank You for being a part of SSV and making it such a great place to be. I hope you find it useful. Happy Holidays, y'all! 2020 Edition 2019 Edition (in case you're looking for last year's) Note: This ornament kit is meant for folks who have a working knowledge of Inkscape. You don't have to be an advanced user, but you should have the basics down. If you'd like to learn more about Inkscape, you can find my free online course here.

    Last year and the year before, we had 11 Designers. I'm hoping to get at least that many again. Do you think we can hit 15 designers? If so, that's 75 more patterns in this year's ebook to at total of 435 patterns. It's a great book to be a part of, and it helps those in need. I'm designing! Who else is in?

    2020 was a strange and disappointing year, for sure. But we're not going to lay down and take it. We're gunna salvage it with an awesome Ornament For Charity 2020 Edition eBook! Who's with me!? We're continuing our tradition here at Scroll Saw Village by publishing our annual e-Book full of Christmas ornaments. This popular e-Book was featured in the Holiday 2014 issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine. Our ornament designs are exclusive to this eBook and designed by SSV members. Anyone can download the ebook in exchange for a donation to their favorite charity. Our hope is that we'd be able to raise some money for very worthy causes and provide some cool patterns at the same time. *** But we need your help! *** We need some volunteers to design some ornaments. Each designer will provide 5 patterns (no more, no less) I ask that the designs are not made available anywhere else (this gives value to the e-book) They have to be designed specifically by you (no posting other people's patterns) Designs must be emailed (or PM) to Travis by Wednesday, November 25th (info below) A few things to keep in mind: Religious and secular designs are accepted. Other religions/traditions also celebrate this time of year, so let's not forget them. Keep detail and size appropriate for an ornament. Don't submit copyrighted or licensed patterns. The due date will sneak up on you quicker than you think. Please get them to me ASAP so I have time to work on them. What do you get in exchange? Credit for your design. The warm fuzzy feeling that you're helping others in need. Submitting your ornaments: Email the ornaments directly to Travis (travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com) or PM me. Formats accepted are JPG, PNG. Please keep the pattern in black & white only (no gray) . That way I can convert them easier when putting together the ebook. I prefer Inkscape files (SVG) if you can. This is ideal if you know how to use Inkscape. That way I don't have to manually convert them.

    Autumn is certainly here. Leaves are dropping, the air is cool and the sun is low on the horizon. Some folks are getting snowed on. November always has me appreciating the change of seasons. Remembering the summer days, and looking forward to the Holidays ahead. This month, our scroll saw challenge is themed, Autumn. Post your scroll saw projects that say autumn to you. Is it potpourri boxes, candle holders, leaf trivets? Get creative. And when you post, tell us a little about it. I really enjoy the stories behind the projects. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

    I see. If you turn it the other way, you''ll get the 3 bars I was talking about. If you have it horizontal (like you have it now), you get the navigation bar. You should be able to click Community on the top navigation bar. That should take you to the forum. I'm not sure why you're not getting the Reply box. I've tried it on multiple devices and they all seem to work. Sounds like you're able to get it to work on your phone, so it seems isolated to your iPad. You can try clearing the cookies & sessions on Safari. On you iPad, go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data. (Just make sure you know your username/password, because it will delete your auto-login info). You can see if that works. Outside of that, I'm not sure what else could be the problem.

    You can still follow a topic. There's a button in the upper right corner of the forum thread and you'll get notifications when someone responds. There is a Bookmark option for SSV Patrons if you want to bookmark a comment or a picture for later reference. Hope this helps.

    My iPad is pretty old (maybe 4-5 years) and it seems to be working OK. Which browser are you using? I'm using Safari. For navigation, you should have 3 lines in the upper right corner. That's the navigation menu. Is that there for you? It was there on the previous version as well. This is what I see for replies. I just click into the box, it expands with your text box. The Like button also seems available on all of the corners of posts.
