Best Wishes Card using CD00467 and CD00577

Here is a "Best Wishes" Card created using "CD00467_Mats" and "CD00577_Spring Swirls", both from this quarters QMC membership. I decided I wanted to have some non Birthday Cards on hand for various occassions and these files came together so well that I couldn't resist! The "Best Wishes" title came from Shirley Clark.





Thanks for looking,

Have a great day wherever you are!

Cheers, caz

Birthday Card using CD00562 and CD00596

Another creation using Chris's fabulous files. I wanted to make a Birthday Card for a little girl and Chris's "CD00562_Birthday Bear" was perfect. This was a file available in the QMC but is now available in the Store. Also handy was "CD00596_4th-6th Grade" from this quarters QMC! This card was created in PSCS3 and I have used a felt action on the Bear and the 6th.

Thanks for looking!

Have a great day wherever you are!

cheers, caz

New Layout using CD00597

As a member of Chris's CT, I have the privilege of access to her wonderful QMC club! This "CD00597_LOL" was one of the last files posted in this quarters club. This session is closed now, but you can join the next QMC now!! Don't miss out!!

This is a layout using pictures of my son being very silly and sharing his stained tongue after eating a lollie (sweet). His funny faces and antics always make me LOL!!

Thanks for looking,

have a great day wherever you are!

picture frame using another flame file

I used another of Chris's flame files from the QMC to make this picture frame. I painted the frame red, then used temporary adhesive to apply the flames, painted it all black, and used a toothpick to remove the flames. Insert picture, done!

A New Vue

This is a layout about the new car my mom bought for me in August. I had been wanting a Saturn Vue since they first came out on the market and she gave me the opportunity in August to fullfil my dream. I have driven nothing but Saturns since 1992, and it was just a antural progression to move up tot the SUV. The paper is from DCWV and the key file is from Chris' New Car Smell file.

Sandra's September Challenge Layout

Here is my layout for the September sketch challenge at VisualDesignsbyChris. I selected my picture first then went looking for papers and had a hard time finding something in my stash to match the colors in the photo. I finally settled for black, white and the wave paper. I used bazzil leather looking paper to cut the swirls and title frame. The small top piece of paper is the back of the wave paper. Just small yellow dots and lines and some orange dots, you can barely see them. The photo mat, title mat, and swirls are all in the challenge file this month. I love all the elements from the file. The dragon fly charms are from, where else ... a charming place.

Thanks for looking - Sandra from NC

Homecoming Court

This layout used two of the VDBC files... Spring Swirls #CD00577 and the little sprig from the free September 09 sketch challenge. I cut several of the little sprigs. One for the right side and I cut several apart and stuck them in amongst the Swirl on the left. I cut the flowers off of the design cut and added the primas with pearl centers. I created visual triangles with the primas and the gold Flavia sticker dragonflies. May add some swirly pearls to the bottom left yet. Haven't decided. Didn't have any handy. These swirl files were perfect for this layout. Was so excited when I opened the file!

card using flame file

Stephen needed a card so I pulled out a motorcycle rubber stamp and one of Chris's flame files from the current QMC. I plan on making several of these to have on hand for him.

Sandra's Latest...

I'm so excited! I finally got to cut and create. I had to cut one day and create the next but it got done:-). Here they are...

The first is my page layout for the August challenge. From the file, I used the background cut (Bazzill) and put it on top of a patterned Bazzil. I added the paper piecing (which I LOVE), the torn notebook paper, small border piece and 2 arrow photo corners. I added Arrow charms from A Charming Place to each photo corner. The title is my own. Now I just need to do a couple of more pages to finish the story. Oh all my pieces except the background are cut from Petallics paper.


















Next is a quick card I made for my son's best friend. He had his Eagle Scout ceremony this past Saturday. I used the new spring swirls file from the Quarterly club and one of the birds from the April Challenge file. The title is my own.

















And my last card is for a sketch challenge on Paperthreads. I needed a small border piece for the card so I used the one from our August challenge file. The large daisies are from Sam and Hailey Designs Paper Blossoms file (JB00068) and the centers are from Shelly's Art Buttons Galore file (SS00116). The silver butterfly is from A Charming Place

Latest layout using "Can I Keep It"

I received Chris's newsletter today and, on going to the Store to check out the sales, saw this great file! My son-in-law loves creepy crawlies and also has a collection of wonderful creatures which he and my daughter adore. I had a great picture of a huge spider we found at home one day after being out all day. I also found some pics of him and his pet snake, "Ripley". Unfortunately, they are not as clear as I had hoped as Ripley kept moving and, as he was wearing his Crocodile T-Shirt, not as easy to see as I would've liked.

So head over to the Store and check out all the great files on offer. This file "Can I Keep It" is available for just $1.00 for a short time.

cheers, caz

New layout using latest file from QMC

Chris has just posted this file in this quarters QMC. I can't believe how easy it is for me to find reasons to create with these files! I love them all!

This file is called "CowBoy" and I had the perfect pictures to go with it! This is a layout featuring one of my Daycare children dressing up, he is sooooo cute!!

Thanks for looking!

cheers, caz

Doggie Thank You

Just returned from vacation and created this thank you card for my parents for keeping our dog while we were away... Used a border from CD00558 Dog Bone Borders. Added a pre-made embellishment, snip of ribbon and a few buttons. The bottom words were printed on the computer in a color to match the card.

New layout using files from QMC

Once again, Chris's latest addition to the new QMC inspired me to get creating! I love these files, and when I saw this file "CD00572 - Flames2", I immediately thought "Wings" LOL

I also really like Chris's CD00431 which, although a Happy Birthday file, has the most gorgeous tree in it, which I have used several times now.

This layout is a recent photo of my son, showing off for the camera. He is "My Little Angel?" , and these flame wings just go so well with this photo!

Have a great day wherever you are,

cheers, caz
