Seems like this year there are more houses with really neat Halloween decorations. I decided to make a layout with a few pictures and found the perfect files from Chris. I used the word Fall from her Colors of Fall file and re-sized both leaves to sprinkle on the pages. Then I used her Web file - from her Quarterly challenge collection to highlight the huge spider that is on the side of one of the houses in our neighborhood.

So much more than Just a dog (Oct 2009 Sketch challenge)

A layout using the October 2009 sketch challenge file. Love using sketches and these are perfect because you get the file to cut with them! Not exactly the sketch but that was my starting point. Primas, pop dots and bling!

New Layout using CD00605

This is my latest layout using CD00605 - Family Frame. This was one of the files available in the last QMC but you still have time to join this QMC which can be found HERE.

This is a photo of my In-Laws, my DH and my son and daughter on a recent visit to our home. This was my last chance for a photo shoot with my daughter as she is now working as an Au Pair in Virginia in the USA. Long way from Australia! My In-Laws just happened to be visiting at the same time, so we had a house full for a few days, it was great!


This file was perfect for this layout! The file includes the rectangle frame that I have used here and the Family title, but as an added bonus, also includes an oval frame as well! The frame around my photo and the "Family" have had styles applied to them.

Thanks for looking,

cheers, caz

Ladybug Friendship Card - CD00593 - Ladybug and CD00537 - Giggle Words both from 3rd QMC for 2009

I made a 7"X5" card and card front and then resized the CD00593 Ladybug to fit. The "Friends" word was exactly right for this friendship card and came from CD00537 - Giggle Words. Both these files were in the 3rd quarter QMC for 2009. Even though I reduced the Ladybug in size, it still cut like a dream and was easy to put together. This QMC is now closed but the 4th and last QMC for 2009 has just opened so get over to the Store and take advantage of this great deal ... over 20 files for just $10.00!

Isn't it cute!!

Thanks or looking,

cheers, caz

Layout created with CD00602

This is a layout I have created using CD00602 - Random Thoughts available in last quarters QMC. Don't miss out this quarter, hop over to the Store and sign up for the new Quarter, the last one for this year.

I love this photo of my son and have scrapped it several times. I look at it and wonder... what are you thinking ? Chris's new file "Random Thoughts" went really well with this photo, I had to use it again!

This layout has been created in Photoshop and I have applied a bevel to Chris's file to lift it off my page.

Thanks for looking,

cheers, caz

Pastor Appreciation Poems

I'm on the committee for Pastor Appreciation. A fellow committee person found these poems and asked me to make them into something that could be framed. They will be put in matching black frames. Not sure if you can read the poems as my printer won't print black ink even though it has a full cartridge. I printed in a tan to match their decor, which turned out better actually.

Used Visual Designs by Chris files cut with my wishblade... #CD00401 Butterfly Border. I've wanted to use that one since I saw it. Such a beautiful file. and Fancy Background overlay. I love love love detail and like when I can use my other supplies to embellish. Here I used some other punches. Punched the butterflies using navy diamond dust paper with a silhouette punch by Marvy. Also added bling to the butterfly body and brads and other bling to the punched flowers by 2GRRRLS. The added greenery is a Family Treasures punch. The butterflies on the cut out file were painted with mustard Radiant Pearls and then the punched butterfly glued over it.

The layout has lots of bling but needed a little something to create a visual triangle with the green. Added a little ringlet border as a flower leaf (#CD00578). Perfect touch.

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!

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!

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!
