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.

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.

So so cutey!! Happy Aunt!
Isn't he the cutest. My hubby loves little babies. But we both really love
little babies that are our niece and nephews when they have other parents to
stay up with them all night. Hehe. And here is my crazy kid, his cousin and
our Nan holding the baby. Nan always looks up at the sky like she sees some
bird that has popped into the room. I figured out how to fix that last time
we were all together. I hold the camera to the side and then I talk to Nan
and say look at me and smile.. she looks me in the eyes. And wahla she is
looking at the camera and not some imaginery bird. Thank goodness. 🙂
Anyways. Here are a few pictures of the many many we have 🙂 of course. So
this is just a tidbit to Enjoy! Chris

Make your Own Banner Grab Bag File
Here is one of the grab bag files I created for the month of October. Those great Happy Birthday Banners etc. I made this one below for a baby shower for a friend. My kiddo wanted to help so he cut the little bee from the walk in the garden cartridge on my Cricut. He loves loves to push those buttons and helped me glue them together. I will be using this file alot personally. I used brads with flowers and hung the bees and flowers with thread. My kiddo cut one of the bees and didn’t want to glue the pieces on again. So he drew the cute smiley bee and he was thrilled to see it up on the decorations in the pictures. The shower’s theme was quite bumbley and super cute! Heidi did an awesome job putting it together. She definitely has style when she plans her parties. And the diaper cake came out super cute. I have never made one of these, but I think these guys are the experts in diaper cakes. Cute cute!
Enjoy!
Chris
