I used one of Chris’s Christmas greeting files from her Quarterly Club Membership to cut the perfect Packer greeting for this snowman stamp. Colored in the stamp, inked the edges of the card and layered the greeting on top of the stamp. Check out Chris and all her fantastic files here.
Merry Christmas!

We are winding down the month of December. It is a crazy month for our family. Crazy Fun! We take a trip to the National Finals Rodeo in Vegas. My Dad comes to visit from Wisconsin. My Hubby’s Birthday. Let’s not forget Christmas. Sometimes I find the Christmas part quite overwhelming. I try to be in the spirit. But it just wraps me up in this parcel of crazy. I have been watching those things that folks do to volunteer at this time of year. Next year I am going to look at some of these things and see what we can do in the spirit of “giving” as well as receiving. We have so much in life. But this list I saw on How Does She really appealed to me. A list of items one can give that are not permanent toys in the room. It is the “experience” type gift. I like this idea greatly.
This is the article I am talking about. 10 Fun Non-Toy Gift Ideas.
We are getting my son a gaming system. My son loves his own choice. So much that if he aces the week he gets Friday Freebie. 3-4 hours after school on Friday where he can just “HAVE AT IT” play any games, watch tv. do what he wants. Surprisingly he has just come home and read a new book. (I might happen to purchase these books close to freebie friday, but I cannot confirm or deny this action. haha.) So one of my gifts this year will be that “redbox” choice. They are little rental passes from Redbox. I have included the pdf here for you to download. Good for a year and will go great with his name “game” system Santa may drop off which I, also, cannot confirm or deny.
**Disclaimer.. I am not related to redbox and/or affiliated with redbox. This is not a coupon for redemption with them, but a printable for your to gift to a family member and pay for their redbox “wishes”. thought I better say that.
However, if I were to make a list of more local things for the “experience gift” I would do some of the following and I still may… have to chat with the hubby.
1) A trip to the Planetarium for the day
2) A trip to the Lego Store in Phoenix
3) A pass for Gym lessons. (After the Olympics he subtly mentions the parallel bar competition.)
4) A family pass for Pima Air Space (my son could go here every year)
5) A trip to Tombstone or Old Tucson (on his list of desires)
6) a trip to play in the snow (desert kids have to put this on their wishlists every year)
7) Movie passes
8) ….
Have any extra thoughts or ideas? I could go on and on, but my cutter is calling my name. 🙂 Need to get some test cuts done… But I’d love to hear your ideas.
Enjoy!
Chris

I made these project from one of the QMC files.
I cut 4in x 7ft x 1in wood down into a few almost 2 foot pieces. Sprayed and let them sit for a week to remove the fumes before putting on vinyl. I actually used blue painters tape for the application of the vinyl on these. Then I seal coated with the Modge Podge Matte Clear Acrylic Spray.
My transfer tape is super sticky. It drives me nutz. What do you use? I can make it stick to my shirt and make it less sticky. just annoying. Unfortunately I have so much roll left who knows how long before I go through it. So I shall keep “de-linting” my shirts with it before I use it. 🙂 Always a positive outcome. less lint. woohoo!!
I have two more qmc files to load. when the last one is loaded I will take it out of the store. you can still join here if you would like this file and the others included.
Enjoy!

It’s my day on Card A Day. So here is part of my post from there and more info… And it is a great way for me to showcase those hidden gems in the gallery. Thank you Esther for this one!
Alot of the time, my Mother In Law has a New Year’s Party, it is a lot of fun. This card would be the perfect invite for her New Year’s Party. My husband’s family is the dancing-est group of people. I have never heard the song “we are family” so many times at family functions. My MIL wanted to clean out the dining room at Thanksgiving so the kids would have room to dance. It didn’t happen this year, but it is an indicator that next year it might be on the list of ideas.

These are my gifts for work. I created the jar top label In Photoshop Elements using two Visual Designs by Chris files: #CD00955 for the words Merry Christmas and #CD00898 Side cut ornaments – I used the bell. Added a little text “from the McGoverans” in a cute font. I made 12 to a page since I had 24 to make. I made them so they would fit the top of the jar lid then used a 2″ circle punch to punch out the label. Added a few red jewels, a ribbon and threaded a green button to add to the ribbon. Inside is peach butter made by my ma from their peach tree. This may be the last year for work gifts. When I started, I only had five co-workers. We are now up to 25 counting myself.

I used Chris’s skeleton file from her Quarterly Membership Club to embellish this layout. This is a picture of some of the ladies dressed up to greet the Trick or Treat -ers at our office. I layered the skeletons on a piece of inked cardstock and put that on a piece of patterned paper. Don’t forget you can find Chris HERE!
Thanks for looking!

I have this man in my life and I would be lost without him. His smile just makes my heart flutter. I am blessed to be so in love. He is a fantastic father. He never takes a second thought to sweeping me off my feet into a dance. He just is wonderful. He is my best friend. We are going on Anniversary number 11 and we both said. Wow? Does it seem that long? Maybe 3 or 4 years but 11 Wow? I would love to have 1111 more years with him. From sitting by a fire, to watching our son ride horse, to dancing, to chatting, to going through life together. What would I do without him? I would go crazy. He is definitely my happy and calm place. His arms are the warmest and the tightest and the most honest I have ever felt. So Happy Anniversary to us. We make a point to take alot of time for just us. And I think it works. So this photo was from a gala we went to. They had a photo booth and lots of props. As you can tell in the first picture, my face reads… YOU WANNA WHAT? hahaha. but he said it to make me laugh and we couldn’t stop. We danced and dined with friends it was wonderful. What will we do this anniversary? Who knows. I am not a girl in need of Pomp and Circumstance. My husband shows me everyday how much I, we mean to him. I am a let’s figure it out as we go and not miss out. So in not planning and just flowing for the most part. We have the opportunity to go ride horse and push cows on Saturday morning. And then I think we will hit a local restaurant in the evening with our son for some margaritas. Just be together. That makes me the happiest. Just enjoy each others company. Laugh and Enjoy. I say it often on this blog and although life is not picture perfect all the time (like when I slept through the alarm this morning and couldn’t make a complete sentence and my hubby was giggling as he listened to me.) It may not be picture perfect at times. But it is pretty darn awesome. I do love my life.
Happy Anniversary to my hubby. I cannot wait to live and love through the many more to come.
Enjoy!
Chris
