La Cucaracha ….

By

Well my hubby picked up this little guy last time we were at the auction. Random whimsical things come in to the auction during the tack. They usually are cheap. This little cucaracha has a purpose. He is a boot jack for pulling off my hubbies boots after being outside. He is also my tormentor. I soooo want to paint him something like this below. But I am quite sure it will not be well rec’d or at least followed with a grimace maybe an eye roll. My hubby deals well with my need for color in the desert. So for now he sits on the patio boring and black while I envision different color schemes for his wings. haha. Hey I didn’t say glitter or sequins just color. At least I am self controlling a little… but I do have really nice microbeads by Martha Stewart in many colors. oohhhhh… Self Control. Have a wonderful day! Enjoy! Chris

PS I did this touchup in photoshop to my hubby in case he is reading this.

layout with Chris Durnan’s Silhouette Bunnies with Sparkle

By

Lately we’ve noticed some new friends in our neighborhood. A family of bunnies has moved in. I used Chris’s Silhouette Bunnies with Sparkle file found here. You can’t tell from the pictures, but I cut them on sparkle paper. I added two prisma flowers with rhinestones in the center. Added a title, some journaling, and some clover background paper.

Valentine LO using CD00286

By

I enjoyed making the card so much that I decided to use the same fancy swirl accent #CD00286 from Visual Designs by Chris to make a layout.
 
Isn’t this pup just the cutest?  This is my grand puppy.  She is 7 1/2 pounds of pure love!  The sweetest dog I have ever met.  No one will ever replace our Abby girl  but this pup sure makes me smile.  I pop dotted the photo.  Scrap papers from my table.  Sometimes it pays NOT TO clean up the mess, eh?  Pearl, pearl swirl and brads all from Hobby Lobby.  Heart pins from Heidi Grace.  Mix of flowers… some were Prima and some were freebies from something.  I think maybe pulled off of a silk flower stalk.    The epoxy sticker says My Valentine Baby and was from a package in the $1 bin at Michaels. 
 
Another example of how you can use your other product with a VDBC file!

Why is it?

By

Why is it.. When I eat frozen bananas I am fine? When I ate barely ripe bananas I am fine?When I eat bananas that are ripe. I take a bit I chew. i think wow this is such a sweet fruit yum. I swallow and work on something and then GAG. This is the only food that does that to me. I like it. I can eat  firm bananas but the ripe ones. Well the ripe ones don’t agree with me. Weird. Just weird.

Why is it … That my fancy Copic markers in the seperate bin are not as fun as the 100 markers in the drawer that say Crayola? hmm.. they appear to color the same to me, but apparently not for my son. Well the obvious reason is the obvious reason why I have them seperated. but mostly that is because I don’t think you should color the tips with each other to see which color you get. That technique is definitely for Crayola. Love Mom.

Why is it … My son prefers fruit rollups to fruit gummies? I don’t get the difference? One day I will take a rolling pin and roll a gummy flat and show him. But I know he will roll his eyes at me and walk away with it.

Why is it .. the school my child goes to had the children waiting for pickup standing outside when it had been raining, but was still lightening very visibly and very close. so close that you could feel the electric charge in the air.  There most be a better way. This was a puzzler for me.

Why is it… Well mostly probably … JUST BECAUSE.. Have a great day! Enjoy! Chris
