Another challenge being held over at VDBC is being run by Jan of Sam and Hailey Designs. It is a Colour Challenge. Well, you all should know that I love Colour Challenges…. seems like I just need someone to present me with a colour palette and I am rushing off to start up Photoshop and see what I can come up with.
and with a new digital scrapbooking kit and a file from Chris, I created this layout. A few years ago we went on a boat cruise out of Victor Harbour, South Australia. We were hoping to see Whales, but got Dolphins and Seal Lions instead. We still had a wonderful time, I love being out on the water, and if you look closely (and I mean really closely LOL), you can see two dolphins surfacing in my pic! The star speckled Dolphin is CD00584 – Sparkle Dolphins available HERE . I have added styles and textures to Chris’s file to create the effect you see here.
Created to show that Cutter files can be used very successfully digitally.
Thanks for looking,
cheers, caz

I used patterned paper I have been hoarding *smile* from My Minds Eye and Making Memories. The crow was cut from Visual Designs by Chris #CD00770. I added some black bling for his eye and a few other places. I love using photo collages! The layout sort of evolved. I accidentally cut the upper right paper too short which led to the black strip of paper. So I matched it on the other side with an orange strip to ground the pumpkins and the crow. The strips led to the buttons (black threaded with orange and orange threaded with black). Which led to the black swirly bling. Love a happy accident!
This catches up my Halloween album!!

We are on countdown to the VDBC Anniversary Party! The time of year, we celebrate and party in the forum. So here is how you can start and get in the mood.
I am interested in any craft project you have posted on your blog that is Anniversary, Birthday, Celebration, or just a great party! It can be an appetizer recipe, a decoration, a card for a birthday. I am not super picky. The only picky is you will need to have the VDBC logo in the post or a link to my blog here and that you are celebrating with us. So others can join in as well!! or if is an older post you just need to add the VDBC logo in the sidebar of your blog. (Here is the URL to upload it from our site http://webadmin.automatit.net/user_files/30205/avatar200.jpg Thank you for your supporting our partying!)
So the options are wide open and full of fun. Invite others to join us in the celebration! We love to see new faces.
My posts to celebrate are here.
My Sister at a family birthday party. haha for her daughter. Cute. Couldn’t resist reposting this one. Okay it’s not really homemade but it was a Princess Party.
Okay so here is a homemade celebrate image from a baby shower I went to for a friend and her sister who is also my friend made the cake. Super Cute.
Can’t wait to see what you have to come up with. This will close on Wednesday, October 12th. So you have a few days to share in the fun and get read for the party.
Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy! Chris

Yesterday, I posted on my facebook page about a coupon from Bic Mark-It. I use these pens all the time. I have a little tin pail of them. My son loves them as well. I use them in the Scout meetings. I will post one of those pics soon.
I used the Bic Mark-It pens on this 3d pumpkin from the October Grab Bag. I wanted a 3-d pumpkin to use for some decorating and I wanted a 3-d one to put in the middle of a card for my Dad. Here is a photo of the 3-d version I made into a table place holder with a toothpick and name and pen on it. And I mentioned the Bic Mark-It pens because I used them to color the edges of the popcorn after glueing to cover any white spots. Also the orange was just a little darker after coloring which give each pumpkin cut a nice trim. There are instructions inside the file on how to create this 3-d pumpkin. And also a fall leaf mat for any project you might have. If you create one of these I would love to see it in the October Grab Bag Challenge in the forum.
You can see the other files included in the October Grab Bag and purchase it here for only $7.00.
Friday you will want to stop by my blog. Think Anniversary, Party, celebration, Birthday. Do you have any of those type of projects you have a picture of? Keep them close at hand!!
Have a Terrific Tuesday!
Enjoy!
Chris

Welcome to Monday! Thank you to everyone who has joined the QMC . I have entitled this one “the gift” as I am focusing on gifts we can make for the holidays. So the files will have those intentions. An already loaded file is this Roadway Monogram which I have posted about previously on my blog and decided to add it to the QMC. the full alphabet. I made each letter individually for this set and I hope you like! You can join the QMC here to start out with this file!
This is what I needed the orange glitter for. The one above has a battery operated tea light inside. and below it doesn’t. This is my Mason Jar love post. I love Mason Jars. I have them everywhere. These ones are old and from a box of craft supplies my Mom gave me.

I have this file to Caz as a special projects for holiday cards and she outdid herself by opening up the digital file and instead of cutting it she created a digital card first and then she cut the card afterwards and did a traditional one as well. How fantastic!!!

I have an Aunt whose nickname is the Woodfairy. She spins these light and airy tales of magic and happiness. Reading them just makes me smile. It lightens my mood. I have even copied one or two in my “read it again folder” on my computer. Recently, she posted a where was she in life post. Was this what she had done in life comment. That self review type thing. I told her I thought she should capture these woodfairy posts and put them in a children’s book, if only for her grandchidren and their future children. Then a few days later she posted a picture and I played with it. and put my own spin on it. I do believe I could hear her happiness from her mountain to my home in Arizona. She loved the photo. I hope one day she captures her whimsy or lets someone capture it for her to save and collect and cherish. So that is the thought behind these two pictures. And if you are reading this Aunt Elise. I love you and your happy posts …. my heart beam.
Love,
The WoodFairy’s Niece.
