Thank-you card

I need a quick Thank-you card for a friend...  The paper is some Tinkerling Ink scraps.  I cut a flower from Chris's flower file (cd00359).  I cut it several times to make it look like chipboard.  I hope she enjoys the card.   Rosalie

Layout using CD00752 - Pictures with Santa

I really like this paper pieced Santa and title. It has been a few years since I managed to get a picture with Santa, but this file from Chris's QMC was perfect to scrap this photo of my eldest daughter, her hubby and my son from 2007.

 

I have created this layout in Photoshop CS3. Styles, textures and shadows have been added to create dimension to the layout. Designed to show that Personal Cutter files (Cricut, Pazzles, Klic N Kut etc) files can be used digitally!

 

Thankyou for looking

layout using Chris's Native American Collection

In September, hubby and I had the chance to ride the Trail of Tears, ending up at the Trail of Tears rally in Florence, AL. We took some pictures along the way, and at the park. I thought Chris's file - Native American collection - would be perfect. You can find it here. I cut the head out of gray cardstock and layered the title on the edge of it. Each corner has an embellishment, one is a brave on a horse and the other is an ax. I'm sorry the picture quality isn't better, but I lost my good camera, and this one doesn't have a macro setting on it. Sussann

Vegetable Garden using CD00770

I love Chris's Sparkle files and this one was no exception. I always have to give Halloween themed files a little extra thought as we don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia. I am a huge fan of Scarecrows and was thrilled to see one in this collection of Sparkle files, which also includes a Witch, Witches Hat, Crow and a Skull. This latest file collection CD00770 - Halloween Sparkles is another fabulous file that Chris has as a part of her QMC for this last quarter for 2010.

 

I have created this layout in Photoshop CS3. Styles, textures and shadows have been added to create dimension to the layout. We have recently spent a couple of weeks creating a vegetable garden and when I saw Chris's Scarecrow with Sparkles, I knew I needed to use it with my photos of our new garden.

 

Thankyou for looking,

Love Love Love this pup!

A layout using the VDBC file #CD00550 Love Title.  This looked a bit different in my head but oh well.  Instead of the flower in the file, I used a very similar punch from 2Grrls.  Added a little bling and some white highlights with a gel pen.  The ribbons are cut from a lighter lavendar paper and blended with some Concord Grape Distress ink.  If you can't see, her shirt says "Puppy love is real".  I wrote that on a strip of white..  Sierra had given her a mohawk with purple doggie hair gel.  I think she looks like a stuffed animal in the wallet sized photo.  Fun layout to do. ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy (#CD00337)

Yes, another recipe page.  Here and there I like to do one.  My plan is to give each of the girls a book of family favorites.  I hope it is a long time before the gift is given but I don't want to wait till the last minute.    This layout uses Visual Designs by Chris file #CD00337 Henny Hen.  Pretty simple layout... ribbons, brads and some cut up strips to make straw.  ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

Laundry Soap recipe (#CD00646)

Disclaimer: strips are straighter than they appear.  LOL  I used just the border of Visual Designs by Chris #CD00646 MY LOVE FOR YOU.  I like using bits of a file for things they weren't really created for.  This strip looked like bubbles to me.  Created larger bubbles with circle and tear drop punches.  Inked the bubbles a little with Close to My Heart ink.  Just cut strips of yellow to add as separation.  ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

Recipe LO: Ma's Apple Pie

This is my ma's yummy apple pie recipe!  I used just the apple from the Visual Design by Chris file #CD00331 APPLE FOR THE TEACHER.  I cut the apples out in white and cut off the leaf.   I inked the apples with mauve, red and tea dye Distress inks adding highlights with a white gel pen.  Then I cut the regular leaves in green.  The title is Quickutz Maggie mini and an apple and tear drop punch - inked like the other apples.  Some fun ribbon and pop dotting of a couple of the apples.  Added a bit of white gel pen highlights along the edges of the layout.    ~Angie~ ~I am blessed!!~ Visual Designs by Chris Creative Team Member http://visualdesignsbychris.com (all images are cut using the Blue Wishblade)

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!!

Have a great day wherever you are,

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.
