layout using Chris's Native American Collection

In September, hubby and I had the chance to ride the Trail of Tears, ending up at the Trail of Tears rally in Florence, AL. We took some pictures along the way, and at the park. I thought Chris's file - Native American collection - would be perfect. You can find it here. I cut the head out of gray cardstock and layered the title on the edge of it. Each corner has an embellishment, one is a brave on a horse and the other is an ax. I'm sorry the picture quality isn't better, but I lost my good camera, and this one doesn't have a macro setting on it. Sussann

Vegetable Garden using CD00770

I love Chris's Sparkle files and this one was no exception. I always have to give Halloween themed files a little extra thought as we don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia. I am a huge fan of Scarecrows and was thrilled to see one in this collection of Sparkle files, which also includes a Witch, Witches Hat, Crow and a Skull. This latest file collection CD00770 - Halloween Sparkles is another fabulous file that Chris has as a part of her QMC for this last quarter for 2010.

 

I have created this layout in Photoshop CS3. Styles, textures and shadows have been added to create dimension to the layout. We have recently spent a couple of weeks creating a vegetable garden and when I saw Chris's Scarecrow with Sparkles, I knew I needed to use it with my photos of our new garden.

 

Thankyou for looking,

 

cheers, caz

A layout using the VDBC file #CD00550 Love Title.  This looked a bit different in my head but oh well.  Instead of the flower in the file, I used a very similar punch from 2Grrls.  Added a little bling and some white highlights with a gel pen.  The ribbons are cut from a lighter lavendar paper and blended with some Concord Grape Distress ink.  If you can't see, her shirt says "Puppy love is real".  I wrote that on a strip of white..  Sierra had given her a mohawk with purple doggie hair gel.  I think she looks like a stuffed animal in the wallet sized photo.  Fun layout to do. ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy (#CD00337)

Yes, another recipe page.  Here and there I like to do one.  My plan is to give each of the girls a book of family favorites.  I hope it is a long time before the gift is given but I don't want to wait till the last minute.    This layout uses Visual Designs by Chris file #CD00337 Henny Hen.  Pretty simple layout... ribbons, brads and some cut up strips to make straw.  ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

Laundry Soap recipe (#CD00646)

Disclaimer: strips are straighter than they appear.  LOL  I used just the border of Visual Designs by Chris #CD00646 MY LOVE FOR YOU.  I like using bits of a file for things they weren't really created for.  This strip looked like bubbles to me.  Created larger bubbles with circle and tear drop punches.  Inked the bubbles a little with Close to My Heart ink.  Just cut strips of yellow to add as separation.  ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

Recipe LO: Ma's Apple Pie

This is my ma's yummy apple pie recipe!  I used just the apple from the Visual Design by Chris file #CD00331 APPLE FOR THE TEACHER.  I cut the apples out in white and cut off the leaf.   I inked the apples with mauve, red and tea dye Distress inks adding highlights with a white gel pen.  Then I cut the regular leaves in green.  The title is Quickutz Maggie mini and an apple and tear drop punch - inked like the other apples.  Some fun ribbon and pop dotting of a couple of the apples.  Added a bit of white gel pen highlights along the edges of the layout.    ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)
