Album using Tab Album

I have recently had a lot of fun working with Chris's Tab Album. I used a digital kit of mine and used Chris's Tab Album to design a quickpage album that I could use over and over again in Photoshop. This particular instance, I used it to show of pictures of our beautiful boxer puppy, Mollie.

Isn't she sooooo cute!

Here's a layout with two of Chris's files. You can find Chris here. Behind the vellum is Chris's fabulous Heart Jumble. I used the included heart files to make the heart border on the left side. I resized the hearts and even embossed a couple with glitter embossing powder. The border on the left is also one of Chris's fabulous files.

Kindy Daze!

These are some photos of my son when he was in Kindy. He was four in these pictures, and now is thirteen. He was so cute!


I have used Chris's Alpha Jumble as a mat behind the photos in this layout. I love the way I can use all those letters without having to put in each letter separately, what a time saver. I have created this layout in PSCS3 and have applied a colour and a couple of styles to the Alpha Jumble to make it stand out within the layout.

Nicholas always seems as though he is in a world of his own, even now! Hence the "Daze" in the title! LOL

Card Challenge

Digi-Cutter Files offered in SCUT, GSD, KNK, WPC & AI (SVG) at www.visualdesignsbychris.com

Here's my version of this month's sketch. There is still time to join the March card sketch Challenge and the swaps. See the forum for more details. Rosalie

Etched Pan

This pan sat on my counter for 6 weeks waiting to try my hand at this. I hope to make a few gifts over the next year using this technique. I will be checking the dollar stores for glass pans with lids. I used the etching cream and cut a design on Contact Paper using my Wishblade. The etching cream said to leave it on for 5 minutes. I left it on about 8 and when I wiped it off, it was very light - so I reapplied and left it on for 30 minutes.. The bottle says that some Pyrex may not etch. This pan was Pyrex and leaving it on longer worked fine.

I used a design from Chris' file challenge due March 7th. You may not recognize it because I just used the outline - all of the swirlies would have been difficult with the thin contact paper and cutting it so small. I may try it with the swirlies when I have a sharp blade. I was being lazy and didn't want to sharpen it first. *smile* If I'd had to sharpen the blade first, it may have set there another 6 weeks. LOL

Using latest addition to QMC files

Here's another great file that Chris has just added to this quarter of the QMC. It is called Grandma and is a beautiful frame incorporating the word "Grandma" with lots of gorgeous scrolls.




I had to create the perfect picture for this one. Recently my mother went to Japan to visit my youngest sister, her husband and their new, or not quite so new, baby boy, Luke. Mum had taken lots of scenery photos whilst being shown around Japan, but the best photo of her and her new grandson was taken in the kitchen which was a terrible background. So I cleaned up the pic of Mum, Chris and Luke and then placed it on the gorgeous scenery of a Japanese temple. Then I topped it off with this gorgeous frame! I am very pleased with the finished result!

Thanks for looking,

cheers, caz

Mar09 Sketch Challenge and more

The new Sketch Challenge for this month has been posted, scroll down for more info, and this is my submission for it. This months sketch is in card format and so I have created the front of a card digitally using some of the free files available for signing up in the challenge. I have also used some files from a digital scrap kit I designed and some graphics from digiwebstudios.






I am really pleased with the way this turned out. I love the colours and the files that Chris provided (heart, scalloped paper and paper strip) were easy to use.

The next layout I have created includes photos of my son at his 9th Birthday party at McDonalds. How could I resist using Chris's "Party Hardy" file and one of the latest files added to last quarters QMC, "Burgers and Fries". If you didn't join this Club, then make sure you don't miss out on this quarter, it has just been uploaded to the Store. This layout was also created in Photoshop digitally.

Have a great day wherever you are! Thanks for looking!

cheers, caz

Snow Princess

This is a layout about my daughter during one of the big snow storms of the season this year. I used the crown from the Queen for A Day file of Chris's to create the title along with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and some glitter from Martha Stewart. The crown wasin several pieces which allowed me to use just the parts that I needed. I wanted something simple. The Ponsettias are from the dollar store and sprayed with Glimmer Mist as well.

This was my effort for the Challenge that Chris was running on her Blog where you can get a heap of files for free for signing up and then you have to use at least one of them in a layout and email her the result. I used a windmill and a star frame file out of the selection.

This is the result. These are some photos from around the old farmhouse we are renting! I have never had so many flowers :)






Although this layout was created in paper and card, I did use my computer to de-saturate the main photo and print it out on my card. I also used my computer to print out my photos!

Thanks for looking, have a great day wherever you are!

Challenge files: Sierra 11th grade portrait

This was for participation in the VDBC February sketch challenge - love those!! The bracket square and the tab are from the sketch files. I also used the stars file from the challenge files due March 7th. Pulled the idea from her shirt. I still need to add one finishing touch... I need a mustard colored button with red thread at the end of the bottom rick rack to finish out my visual triangle.

Supplies:

*Cardstock

*Patterned Papers: Basic Grey Recess line

*I used brown shoe polish applied with a foam pad to give some of the papers a bit of an aged look.

*Popdotted a couple of punches stars and added a few smaller punched stars amongst the star frame.

*Buttons tied with DMC thread, brads, rick rack

* Girls are Weird Sizzlet font for the "11th"
