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)

Moving Day - CD00732

This layout uses digital personal cutter files CD00732 - Moving Day 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. These photos are from our major move from South Australia to New South Wales 2 years ago. Hard to believe we have moved again since then!

 

Designed to show that cutter (Cricut, Pazzles, Klic N Kut etc) files can be used digitally!

 

Thanks for looking,

 

cheers, caz

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!

Happy Birthday Card

Here is the card I made for my Mother's 80th birthday.  I used Chris' latest Happy Birthday Card file (CD00731) from the Apr-June QMC.  I'm sure it will be in the store soon if you weren't a QMC member last quarter.  I added Hawaiian accents because my Mom loves Hawaii!!  She has vacationed there 3 times since she retired, she loves it so much.  I also posted a picture of the Birthday girl on her birthday!!  Doesn't look too bad for an 80 year old, does she?

Fashionista Card!

This layout uses digital personal cutter files CD00706 - If The Shoe Fits 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 card using Photoshop CS3. A ready made card to celebrate the birthday of a "Fashionista" and who doesn't know one of those  LOL

After a lady hit hubby's motorcycle and crushed the rear fender, he decided to have it completely repainted. I thought I'd make a mini album showing all the work he had to do to put it back together. I used several of Chris's files, which can be found here:

Tab Book
Gear Head Accents
Gear Head Jumble
Just Flaming
Flaming Wings

I cut the back tabs off the album and bound it with my Bind It All. I use a rubber stamp for the track pattern, then layered flames and gears under the pictures. I double cut the front and back from regular cardstock and glued them together to make a little sturdier cover for the album, since I don't know how careful hubby will be with it, showing off his pride and joy to his friends.

LO: Homecoming CD00503

This is a layout of my youngest who is such a tomboy... but isn't she beautiful?!  She definitely has a unique fashion sense and a sweet personality.  Dig the Converse!?  I used just the title portion of VDBC #CD00503.  Wish the photo showed it better as it looks really cool up close and personal.  Just silk flowers (& leaves) from a craft store.  I punched a one inch circle from the lime green to back the flower centers to pull it all together.  Used one of the Prima swirls cut apart a lot  (the entire layout only used one).  The center of the flowers are Spare Parts brads from Hobby Lobby (my home away from home these days).  *smile*  I bought one of their ambiance CDs on their clearance rack for $2 and play it in my car.  I really think it has subliminal messaging because I can't get five miles from the store without being drawn in that direction.  *smile*  ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

Layout created with CD00699

Chris has a wonderful selection of files available to members of her QMC. This file CD00699-Wedding Page is available in the latest membership and was perfect for this page celebrating the Wedding of my eldest daughter.

 

I have added styles and textures to the cutter files to create dimension and interest. My layout has been created in Photoshop CS3.

Grandma's Doily #CD00490

On this card, I used VDBC file #CD00490, Grandma's Doily.  I used doily #2.  Along with the doily, I created a paper flower using this tutorial:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/dimensionalflowers/.    I created my flower using the remaining tan cardstock after cutting the doily.  Kinda hard to see in the photo, but I stamped each flower using Broken China Distress Ink and a scripty stamp then distressed it a little before assembling and added more color after assembling.  I had this blue flower laying on the craft table and it was perfect to add a pop of color.  Added a bit of pearl bling from Hobby Lobby and some pearl pins from Wal-mart..  For the center of the flower, I just cut one of the pins down.  Tip:  Mount the flower with pop dots and it is the perfect place for your pins to stick and hold.  Sheer ribbon to finish it off.    ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

recipe page with Chris Durnan's file

This is another really versatile file. It's Chris's Cookie Sweet Pack and you can find it here. This is my favorite cookie recipe, so I wanted a page to put in my recipe book. I love the way the title on the cookie board cuts.
