Christmas card with Chris Durnan's files

I made these Christmas card with two of Chris's files - Curly Frames or Borders and Ornaments Galore. I cut three of the ornaments and one border then backed the border with the alternate color. I love how how these turned out.

etching with Chris's files

I wanted to dress up these plain little bowls so I cut the snowflake from Chris's Cupcake Wrappers Winter file found here. I cut them on contact paper and used armor etch to etch the snowflakes on. I just wish I had more time, I'd add more snowflakes to each one! And I used another of Chris's files, her Packers Pack, to etch the G's on these glasses and plate.

I'm fighting a migraine and an earache today. And we're shorthanded this week at work, so unless I'm in the hospital, dying, or dead, I can't miss work.

Calendar page with Chris's files

I signed up for a calendar/planner swap a few weeks ago on Chris's forum - http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com/forum/. This is what I came up with. I used the January title from Chris's file - Months With Flair and Hats and Balloons Borders

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Happy Veterans Day and a link

Happy Veterans Day! For all those that serve, have served in the past, have a loved one that serves, or has lost a loved one, my heartfelt thanks for all you do.

Lori at Beloved Keepsakes is offering a free file today and a Veterans Day challenge. You can find her blog here.

thank you card with Chris's files

How cute is this lady bug? I just love her! I used Chris's lady bug file - from her QMC club last quarter - and her bracket file from one of her sketch challenges on the forum. I cut a bracket from yellow, then reduced the size of the file and cut it from the purple. I used some skittles that a wonderful lady sent me to make the lady bug's eyes. As always, you can find Chris here.

fall layout with Chris Durnan's files

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. As always, you can find Chris here.
