I cut the cupid from #CD00913. Added some lace ribbon, a heart sticker, a bling heart sticker and some pearls. The Forever tag was something from years ago... Memory Makers maybe? Patterned Paper was from the early 1990s (LOL - yes, I am a hoarder!) - Keeping Memories Alive. Rounded a few corners and used a Fiskars border punch. This one was perfect with the cupid.

picture frame using Chris Durnan's cutter file

I used Chris's digital cutter file "Love" to decorate this picture frame. You can find it here.
I printed the picture with a blurred effect in photo shop and added the cut pieces to the mat in the picture frame - which I found at the Dollar Tree. I just love how this turned out!

Valentine's Day card using Chris Durnan's file
This grea
t file is part of a file set in the Quarterly Membership Club. I love how cute this is. I cut it, matted it on a piece of black paper, and layered it on a piece of patterned paper with pink birds with tiny little hearts on each one. I stamped the greeting inside and instant Valentine's Day card. Here is the link to the newest QMC.
Thanks for looking,

2012 - Year of The Dragon
This layout is for Chris in my capacity as a member of her CT . Chris creates the most amazing files and I am so lucky to be on her Team. This particular file came from her last QMC which is a membership run every few months providing you with more than 20 files for the tiny sum of $10. This layout uses CD00910 - 2012 year of The Dragon, which is so new it isn't in the Store yet!
The photos are of a Bearded Dragon that frequents our yard at times. This one was quite happy to pose on the branch for some photos and seemed perfect to compliment Chris's file.
The cutter files have had styles and textures added to them to add dimension, the kit is mine, "Autumn Breezes" . Designed to show that personal cutter files can be used digitally very successfully!
Thanks for looking

Christmas 2009 Family
I love to use collage photos for holidays with loads of photos. Even with collage photos, I generally have a dozen or so layouts for each Christmas. Once I get the first layout finished, they go pretty quickly because I use the same products on all of the pages. Supplies are listed below. also used the ribbons from Visual Designs by Chris file #CD00550 called Love Title. The perfect touch! Note: On the right side, I pop dotted a 4x6 photo over the collage because it was one of my favorite photos and I wanted it to stand out. I also used the Bazzill stitch templates but rather than sewing, I used mini brads. I really liked the effect. Supplies: Patterned Paper: DCWV Paper Pad Deco and Sparkly Brads: Spare Parts/Hobby Lobby Swirly Bling: Prima Letters: Thickers by American Crafts Ribbon Metal clamps: Wal-Mart many moons ago Bazzill stitch templates Bazzill mini brads Vellum quotes: Memories Complete ~Angie~ (Missouri) ~I am blessed!!~ |

LO: Things that make you say Hmmm...
| This was such a fun layout! Savannah has such a quirky sense of humor and these photos reflect that humor. Photos from her Freshman year. Title is "Things that make you say Hmmm..." The border is cut from Visual Designs by Chris file #CD00811 Groovy. I used scrap strips of paper from a We R Memory Keepers scrap pad. The sticker letters, arrows and corners are from that pad as well. All brads are Spare Parts from Hobby Lobby. The border below the photos is Fiskars. Added details with a chocolate Zig Writer. ~Angie~ (Missouri) ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (cutters: Blue Wishblade and Cricut Expression) |

Gift card holder using #CD00895
I made this giftcard for a poor college student who is trying to live in his own apartment while going to college, playing soccer and working part time. I will tuck three or four fast food giftcards in it. I cut the card from #CD00895 Apron Invite from visualdesignsbychris.com. It cut as smooth as butter. The papers were scraps - red was Dejaview and the patterned is from a company that was a forerunner of the scrapbook industry and I bought a ton of their stuff but I don't think they are in business any longer: K & something Memories. Added ribbon for the strings and neck and a few brads. The greeting is a Studio G stamp from Michaels $1 bin. The sticker is from Michael's also for $1: Crystal Stickers by Mark Richards. ~Angie~ (Missouri) ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (cutters: Blue Wishblade and Cricut Expression) |

thank you card with Chris Durnan's file - CD00715
How elegant is this thank
you card? It cut like a dream. It's so pretty on it's own, all I did was layer it over a patterned piece of card stock. Instant thank you card. This file is a great value, because it comes with two other card fronts - a congrats and I miss you card front - and an underneath layer with tiny stars! You can find it here - Astrology Double Layer Cards.

I have been working on a huge project for Rebekah and Chris to celebrate Lachlan's first year. I cannot believe that he is almost a year old now. This album started out life as a mini 4" x 4.5" and just kept growing.. a bit like Lachlan! The finished item has a cover of 5" X 10" and I have gone from 1" ring to 2" rings to hold it all together. In this day of iPhones and Facebook and so on, not many photos are taken with an actual camera and certainly not many are printed out to share. I had to source these pics from phones, Facebook and my little supply I had on my camera. It has been a lot of fun creating this album and I really hope that Chris and Bec love it.
The album is made up of little pockets with tags in and other pockets that just hold pictures. The tags have photos attached or spots for journaling and I have added in extra pockets and journal spots in case they have extra pics I missed or want to add their own thoughts. The whole album was cut on my KNK Maxx, even the covers, which are paper covered cereal boxes. I had to purchase a Crop-a-Dile to punch the holes in the spine, but what a perfect reason to make the buy LOL
As well as my own designs for the album, I used a couple of cutter files from Chris Durnan and Jan Bryson from Visual Designs by Chris and The More Team! . From Chris I used CD00413 - Tab Book and CD00665 - Just a Pocket (can't find this one in the Store yet) and from Jan, JB00212 - Itty Bitty File Tabs and JB00486 - Joy Fold Card .
Supplies:
DCWV - Cardstock
Little Yellow Bicycle - Snugglebug range Journal spots and Rub-on
Creative Memories and Xyron - Memorabilia Pockets
Brandcorp - brads and photo tabs
Cre8tiv - paper, word stickers and chipboard Alpha
Dotty's Craft Shop - Alpha
My Imagination - Ribbons
Kaiser Scrapbook - stamps
Versa Color - stamp pads
Ranger - Archival ink pad
Creative Memories - corner rounder and pens
Xyron - "X" , 2.5", 5" and 9" Sticker Makers
Scotch ATG gun and Magic tape
Glue Glider Pro
and these are just a few pages :) I am so pleased with the way it turned out... what do you think ?
Have a wonderful day wherever you are!
cheers, caz (cut on my KNK Maxx)

jackolantern with Chris Durnan's file

This project was a year in the
making. I bought these fake pumpkins at Michael's last year when they went on clearance. I bought the light (the kind that goes in the Christmas village houses) after Christmas at Hobby Lobby. And the "G", well it came from Chris of course!
The "G" is from Chris's file set - Pack Collection. You can find it here. I cut the G out of cheap drawer liner material and put it on the pumpkin. Then I used a craft knife, a dremel tool
, and a metal finger nail file to first trace, cut and smooth the G. I cut a hole in the bottom and put the light in. Reusable jackolantern!Sussann

VDBC 3rd Anniversary Challenge
Another challenge being held over at VDBC is being run by Jan of Sam and Hailey Designs. It is a Colour Challenge. Well, you all should know that I love Colour Challenges.... seems like I just need someone to present me with a colour palette and I am rushing off to start up Photoshop and see what I can come up with.
and with a new digital scrapbooking kit and a file from Chris, I created this layout. A few years ago we went on a boat cruise out of Victor Harbour, South Australia. We were hoping to see Whales, but got Dolphins and Seal Lions instead. We still had a wonderful time, I love being out on the water, and if you look closely (and I mean really closely LOL), you can see two dolphins surfacing in my pic! The star speckled Dolphin is CD00584 - Sparkle Dolphins available HERE . I have added styles and textures to Chris's file to create the effect you see here.
Created to show that Cutter files can be used very successfully digitally.
Thanks for looking,
cheers, caz

Halloween 2009 using #CD00770
I used patterned paper I have been hoarding *smile* from My Minds Eye and Making Memories. The crow was cut from Visual Designs by Chris #CD00770. I added some black bling for his eye and a few other places. I love using photo collages! The layout sort of evolved. I accidentally cut the upper right paper too short which led to the black strip of paper. So I matched it on the other side with an orange strip to ground the pumpkins and the crow. The strips led to the buttons (black threaded with orange and orange threaded with black). Which led to the black swirly bling. Love a happy accident! This catches up my Halloween album!! ~Angie~ (Missouri) ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (cutters: Blue Wishblade and Cricut Expression) |
