layout

April 30, 2010 By Chris Durnan

For this layout, I used one of the files from last quarter’s QMC. I used a red background and put a subtle pattern paper on top. Then a red mat to highlight the picture.

An added bonus…

April 25, 2010 By Chris Durnan

Hey every one.
Sharon, one of the grab bag designers this  month, Added a perk for those on the fence about purchasing this month.
You can only get it through today with your purchase of the April Grab bag

This file has a title “My Favorite Recipes” that has 2 mats. a chef hat, apron, and container of utensils and a rolling pin. Then I got to thinking, I needed a title for the spine of the 3″ 3 ring binder, So I added that one as well.

Here is link to get this file if you purchase the grab bag this weekend. Purchase will include download link for bonus file.
April Grab Bag

So stop on by and grab one! You’ love it…
Also, you can see the other previews for the grab bag in the store as well. Lots of yummy goodies in this set.

 And for those who already purchased… You can download the additional file in the store… Visit your order history in the cart and download. There is a download tut on the front page of the store if you have never done it this way.

Enjoy!
Chris

Walking Walking

April 20, 2010 By Chris Durnan

Well my son and I went for a walk yesterday it was quite entertaining. I need to walk every day. He can come with me and provide entertainment. So here is how it goes…

 

As I walk with my son by my side Sometimes holding my hand. Sometimes not. And his Freckles chasing along behind us. I wish my hubby had had a camera to watch us go. We just walked the drive around our arena, but still it was interesting…

 

Kiddo: Are you Ready?

Me: yep, ready…. As I tie my shoes.

 

Kiddo: Okay lets go ten laps.

Me: Okay yeah. I was thinking 4 today and I will work up to more each day.

Kiddo: look of disappointment… hmmm. Okay

 

So we walk.. we make it around the lap with the border collie dragging her ball. She is dragging it and bouncing it all over the place because it is actually a horse ball tied to a rope. She runs behind us once and almost wraps it around our legs. But we made it without toppling over. Wew.

 

Kiddo: Okay I am thinking one is good.
Me: What? What about ten.

Kiddo: Sheesh. You said only 4. Hold on.

Me: standing and waiting. Hm. Hm. Hm.

 

Kiddo: Okay I got my soccer ball. I’ll kick that.

Me: Okay good.

 

Kiddo: Did you see the tulips over there?

Me: Nope but you can show me.

Ends up the tulips were a cactus flowering brilliantly in a shade of purple that outdoes the sunset. Beautiful

Kiddo:  It’s beautiful huh?

Me: Yep sure is. Pretty impressive.

 

We continue walking as he kicks the ball and the Freckles monster grabs it and runs and grabs it and runs. And the kiddo runs after her.. giggling and screaming at her to stop. Stop. Stop. Every giggle every scream seems to make her bounce up and gear up in delight even more.

 

We come around the bend of lap two.

 

Kiddo: Wew. Well I think that was like a mile. I am done. How about you?

Me: Yep. Almost a mile. I have a few more laps to do.

Kiddo: okay I’ll wait for you.

 

So as I walk around the laps of the arena my kiddo yells across.

HOW YA DOING MOM? Are you COMING MOM? Did you See the Tulips again MOM?

How many laps is that mom?

 

To cute.

Well at least I had a walking partner for the first few laps and then a coach for the last two.

On to another day of walking today.

 

Hope you are having an awesome day!

 

Enjoy!

Chris

April Sketch Challenge

April 18, 2010 By Chris Durnan

Here’s my layout for the April challenge.  I used the scallop cut from the challenge file.  I cut it from two different colors then overlaid it. I also used the torn paper cut from last August’s challenge file.  It is one of my favorites to cut for journaling.  The two Swirly eggs are from Sam and Hayley Designs (JB00411) at www.Paperthreads.com. I used Bazzil & cardstock and Petallics Paper.  The crucification charm is from www.acharmingplace.com.  The journaling is hard to read because I printed it on Petallics paper and it came out very light, plus my scanner bed needs cleaning – lol.

Wow…

April 16, 2010 By Chris Durnan

I know I have been out in never never land.. but it has really been a busy and topsy turvy week.

 

But those moments of clarity are when my son comes up to me and says… “In this family, love is forever huh?” And I say “yes sweets. For forever.”  Misty eyes. Beating heart. Really truly I am blessed and love my life!
