Hack of the Week No.91


Wallet sized picture frame layout.

This layout would be perfect for displaying a treasured vacation picture or a tropical holiday selfie. This layout was designed to hold a wallet sized photo but could be sized to hold a 4x6 or larger memory!

This "Tropical Holiday" picture frame was created using models from these projects:

We did not use any fonts on this layout but the detail line of the surfboard is a simulated v-carved line.


Note - This hack was assembled in Aspire V8 for presentation purposes.  It could have been done in VCarve Pro V8 or VCarve Desktop.


Why not hack together your own layout mixing and matching models from other projects or from your own library!  For some great inspiration check out our  hacks page!

Even though summer is officially 1/2 over there is still plenty of time to use that backyard pool!!!  So get that safety sign posted and get wet!!!!

This "Pool Rules" sign was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called: Lucida Sans Unicode

When we came up with the Tiki bar CNC project idea we always felt it would end up in a basement bar or on a pool side sign... but never on something like this! 

``Here is a cowboy cooler I made and I used the Tiki Bar project to customize ``

``I started out making one of the coolers for myself and people loved them. I have made around 6 of them and now I personalize the tops. So I used the tiki bar pattern to do mine.``

We don't think the Tiki mask has ever looked so cool... get it... because it`s on a cooler... yeah we know that was a stretch. 

Kevin also sent us this wonderfully painted sign he made using the Wine Bar No.1 Project.  Nice job!

Both of Kevin projects look so good... and the cooler just makes us want to head out onto the back deck and enjoy a cold drink. There goes the productivity for today... thanks Kevin.


Thank you Kevin for sharing these projects with us!
