I made this recipe page with Chris's Silverware Jumble file. You can find it here. I put a piece of patterned paper (grill utensils) over the base cardstock and then layered the silverware cut over that. The recipe is of my favorite homemade BBQ sauce.

Beleive in Yourself / Graduation layout using #CD00695

I was excited when I saw this file from Visual Designs by Chris knowing my daughter was graduating this year.  As usual, I used a VDBC file along with a lot of other things in my studio to create the layout.  I love mixed media!!  The file is #CD00695 the Grad 2010 frame.  Other lettering for the title is chipboard letters for the B and Y, stickers for "in" and  my Quickutz/mini Marisa for the remainder of the words.  Other embellishments include patterned paper, wired ribbon with little stars on it, black bling, star brads, paper flowers with glitter brads and a diploma charm.  Chipboard includes the parenthesis, oval behind the B and the exclamation point.  These were painted with Honey Mustard radiant pearls.  I also dry brushed a little of the radiant pearls on the paper flowers.    Fun layout! ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

Good Luck card using CD00734

Another gorgeous file that forms part of this Quarter's QMC at Visual Designs by Chris. These Zebra Inchies were just made for a classic black and white card. I also thought the stamps used went well with them.

 

Thanks for looking,

 

cheers, caz

Christmas Card using CD00744

AS soon as I saw this file in the QMC, I wanted to cut it!  I love Chris's layered Card fronts and this one was no exception. I used card stock by DCWV and a piece of silver for the roof top and inked around the edges of my card.

The file cut like a dream and layered well! I love the final look. I did cut 2 of Santa and then layered the 2nd over the top to give my reindeer a different colour. Very happy, Thanks Chris!!

Chess Card

 

Remember the Birthday card I made last month using Chris' (CD00707) Chess file?  I've included a picture of it again.  Here's another card I made. This time using the negative from cutting the chess pieces. I used the same Happy Birthday from Shelly's Art Sentiments Variety (SS00007) at www.PaperThreads.com . Don't forget your negativesJ.

"Art Work" Layout

 

Here is my layout for the August Sketch Challenge.  I didn't follow the sketch exactly but it's still recognizable – lol.  I used Chris's file "Artwork created by" (CD00636) for my title, KAndrews' free school file that came with the challenge (will add my journaling to it later after I decide what to put). And all the circles are from Shelly's Art (at paperthreads) "Playful Flowers" file (SS00037). That includes the scallop on top.  I was too lazy to make my own and I remembered her file first.  I also used an Earth charm and paint palette charm from www.acharmingplace.com.

 

Thanks for looking.

layout with Chris Durnan's Silhouette Bunnies with Sparkle

Lately we've noticed some new friends in our neighborhood. A family of bunnies has moved in. I used Chris's Silhouette Bunnies with Sparkle file found here. You can't tell from the pictures, but I cut them on sparkle paper. I added two prisma flowers with rhinestones in the center. Added a title, some journaling, and some clover background paper.

Valentine LO using CD00286

I enjoyed making the card so much that I decided to use the same fancy swirl accent #CD00286 from Visual Designs by Chris to make a layout.   Isn't this pup just the cutest?  This is my grand puppy.  She is 7 1/2 pounds of pure love!  The sweetest dog I have ever met.  No one will ever replace our Abby girl  but this pup sure makes me smile.  I pop dotted the photo.  Scrap papers from my table.  Sometimes it pays NOT TO clean up the mess, eh?  Pearl, pearl swirl and brads all from Hobby Lobby.  Heart pins from Heidi Grace.  Mix of flowers... some were Prima and some were freebies from something.  I think maybe pulled off of a silk flower stalk.    The epoxy sticker says My Valentine Baby and was from a package in the $1 bin at Michaels.    Another example of how you can use your other product with a VDBC file! ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

Layout using CD00737

This layout uses digital personal cutter files CD00737 - Parrot  that is a file available in the QMC that Chris runs in her Store on a quarterly basis.

 

I have used styles and textures to add dimension to the Cutter files and created this layout using Photoshop CS3. The photos are of a Cockatoo that we found injured in our yard. He was so friendly, took water out of a bottle that we fed him. However, turned out this was a symptom of something far more nasty (he was a wild bird) and unfortunately he died whilst waiting to see the Vet.

Card using CD00286 Fancy Swirl Accents

Created a quick card while I was home for a few days using the CD00286 file.  This made for a quick card with a little bling, a scrap of polka dot paper and some flowers.  The pearl brad and swirl accents are from Hobby Lobby... my summer home.  *smile*   Added a little lady bug sticker as an accent.  Very quick.  That's what I love about Chris' files.  I can make something so easy that looks like it took me longer than it did.  *smile*  ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

July Page Sketch Challenge

Well - I finally got my pages put together!  I cut everything a week ago.  These are pictures from July 4, 2009.  I used the free files that came with the challenge created by RSMobley Designs and some extras she gave away on her blog - thank you Sharon!  I love these files.  I added 3 small star charms on one page (from www.acharmingplace.com) after I colored them with a red sharpie pen.  I added a background circle to the circle star mat then cut it in half to use on my pages.

 

Thanks for looking!
