Hawaiian Map

By

Here I am! My apologies about yesterday. I was working on a webpage for a cause near and dear to my heart and that is for the Foundation for Colton’s Friends. I gotta say creating webpages in dreamweaver and uploading is not as easy as running this blog. So it still needs lots of work, but it is up there. I have a meeting of the board today and hopefully there are a bunch more children we can help out. if you want to check it out here is the link http://www.coltonsfriends.org/
Now for the download. So I am working away on all these books!!! Wow lots of requests, but I love it. While making requests other ideas came up. There are lots and lots of Hawaii files posted out there for sale and for free. I generally stay away from the topics that are sooo well covered, but this was my add to the topic. It is a map of Hawaii. I don’t want to corrupt the detail of the map so I wouldn’t cut it to small because it has lots of detail in it. The words are all seperate and you can use them as page headers or as part of the map. I hope this is a different style of the typical Hawaii file. And then I have the Hawaii book coming up with a hibiscus flower on it. So these files are for your personal use only! Please do not share or alter and claim as your own. Downloading the file is an acceptance of these terms. This file is no longer available for free download, but will be available at Paperthreads soon.
On to other things…. I think by the end of the week I should have over 100 files up in the store and with that I have come up with a commercial policy. I will be posting the details on my main site http://www.visualdesignservices.com/ and also a link to them here. This is for those crafters who have decided they want to sell my files in cut form. This is not for the actual digital file. It will be item number CD00100 in the store. I have lots of requests for this and I will do whatever I can to support and help those who would like to go into this venture with me.
So the BIND-IT-ALL gadget. I really love this machine and would love to have one for myself, but I think it will probably end up on my Christmas wish list. I have purchased alot of machinery this year and my husband hasn’t batted an eyelash about it. So I don’t want to push the limits. But over at Paperthreads Michelle is offering this super cute file with the purchase of the bind it all. Simple Critter Stacks. I just wanted to share because they are for sale everywhere, but when I saw these files I thought.. okay .. yes I really want this machine and the file… so for anyone thinking about it.. Check out Paperthreads for the Bind-It-All.
It also features Free Shipping according to this Thread at the forum.. CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS
And so if you decide to purchase one, put in the special comments section… I heard about it from Chris… hahah. Lets see what Michelle thinks about that! I probably drive them crazy over there with my blog. When I asked everyone to post reviews for me there were a ton of them! Michelle had to skip on over here to my blog to see what was going on. Thank you to everyone for that!

Also, if there are some Creative Team members checking my blog, which I believe Susie McCormick is because I have gotten comments from her. WELCOME TO THE PAPERTHREADS CREATIVE TEAM. How phenomenal is that! I am so excited to see what these ladies come up with.

And for another Paperthreads comment… If you were thinking of buying a file… I beg of you do it soon!! The bestseller list has been cleared at the store so I look like I have no bestsellers. I should have lots of new files up in the store over the next couple weeks. If I could think of a way to track who bought something to populate it first.. I WOULD.. but I give everything away here!! Think about it.. you would be reducing my anxiety that I will never sell another file again and not have a bestseller. hahaha. okay so that was way melodramatic and over the top for me. hahaha…. my normal side would say… if you think about it and are going to, please do so. My nerves would appreciate it! My portion of the store at Paperthreads.


Well my horses are banging their feeders I better run and drop some food in them before they wake up everyone within a mile radius! Have a wonderful day! Oh and the picture of the texas sage from my patio. The rain the rain. it has been raining here like crazy and therefore the texas sage on my front patio has popped with bright purple flowers.

Enjoy!

Chris

  1. Hi Chris,
    Just a comment on your note about doing designs on overdone topics – please know that having your creative spin on any topic, overdone or overexposed or underdone is just fine with me (and I’m sure others feel the same way). This map is really really great and so unique … and that’s why your “fanbase” is growing 🙂 Thanks (yet again!)

  2. Hi Chris-
    Makes me want to go to Hawaii. Maybe some day. Thanks for your help with my question over at CRFun about changing the link address to GSD. I just couldn’t figure it out.

    Heather 🙂

  3. Love the Hawaii file (as usual ;)) Chris. Thank you!!
    A suggestion – something similar for Jamaica would be neat – with Jamaican cities and stuff. Maybe a Jamaica wordbook and tropical extras.
    Thank you as always for all your time!!!

  4. Chris, I love it, love it. Thank you so much. I have so many pictures from my Hawaii vacation with my sisters and this is perfect. Your texas sage is gorgeous the color is so vibrant. What a great foundation Colton’s Friends is. I was very moved by the web page, super job on it. Take care.

  5. Wow, another great file! Thanks! Here is a request for Vegas themed files. They could be great for game/poker night layouts too. I was thinking ‘What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas’, ‘Know when to fold em’, ‘Put it all on RED (or black), ‘Only in Vegas’, poker chips, playing cards, dice, money, drinks, slot machine, etc. You get the idea, I’m sure there are a thousand things that would work here. You rock and I’ve sent a lot of people to your blog and to check out your files at PTs. Thanks!

  6. Hi Chris,
    I’ve just found your wonderful site and have truly enjoyed it.
    I am thrilled to purchase your files and have just completed an order. Look forward to seeing what you will be adding in the next couple of weeks.
    Thanks so much.
