Things I need to say about freebies.
You can download the sketch files HERE.

When you enter the password, IAGREETOU it says I agree TOU. it means that you agree to my terms of use that this is a personal use. In order for me to keep creating freebies. Please send folks here to my blog. Another good place to find me is on my facebook page for quick updates.

Answers to Questions..
Folks ask my why am I loading to the forum and why the password. Well my other option is a site perhaps like 4shared etc. So you would follow the same steps only instead you go to the forum on the VDBC site and download. I am trying to centralize my work and time on the net so I can create create create. (I am having success with this goal as I have been creating like crazy.) So once you have registered at the forum you can continue to download the freebies by using the passwords. They change once a month rather then every time. So sometimes the forum may not even ask you for a password if you already entered it that month. 🙂 And that is the blah blah blah of today’s post.

Terrific Tuesday Sketch

February 20, 2013 By Chris Durnan

Chris has a Sketch available in the VDBC Forum accessed by her Blog . I immediately thought of this design making a great Christmas card. I know…. either waaaay too early or waaaay too late LOL

This card has been created digitally with PSCS5 and I have added styles and textures to the cutter files to add dimension.

I used a kit called Sparkleshine by Kathy Winters Designs. Just right for my card!

Thanks for looking,

Have a wonderful day wherever you are! Cheers, caz

Eagle Scout Card

February 12, 2013 By Chris Durnan

My youngest daughter’s boyfriend is finishing up his Eagle Scout project today. He was here this weekend, and we gave him a Collectors knife made specifically for Eagle Scouts and I made this card to give to him using the eagle from a file from Visualdesignsbychris called Freedom Eagle: #CD00785: http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com/store/product.php?productid=18639&cat=0&page=1

Red, white and blue card stock scraps, a few navy brads, a die cut shield that I had in my white paper scraps (Tim Holtz maybe?) I just printed “Be prepared”, the boy scout motto, on cardstock and used a square punch to trim the end to make a banner out of it. Pop dots to mount the shield , the banner and the eagle.

Feb 7th – A heart hop day 1

February 7, 2013 By Chris Durnan

It’s the beginning our Heart Hop. After you read through my post that I hope provides you with some inspiration for your Valentine Cards, at the bottom you will see links to the other “More Team” designers who are participating! Enjoy!

Chris

First up… Here is some inspiration I found in the gallery.

This card below was created by Sandra from NC and posted in our gallery. The reason this card stands out to me is it is a file from a sketch challenge in the forum. Hidden within our forum is a group of sketch challenges. Monthly Ileana has been offering a new Sketch for you to create. If you were to use each of these sketches you would have 12 done for this year. But also there are an archive of Sketch Challenges which come with files and ideas and lots of projects from our forum members.

Thank you Sandra for showing this inspiration from a sketch challenge!

Next up … If you have a teacher in your life, a friend, a co-worker just someone who deserves a treat. This narrow bag would be perfect for a small gift of treats or cards. you can find this file HERE. Until Feb 11th Use this code when ordering CDHEARTHOP2013 to get an additional 30% off.

And then a freebie… This is my download for today. It is a printable Valentine. My son is in elementary school and I used to buy Valentine’s. Last year I started printing my own. The amount in the box is never just right. The box choices are not so cute and my kiddo is just not happy with him. So I offer to you a Froggie Valentine to print and make your own. I hope you can use it. If you are not in an elementary school or the parent of a school child, make someone’s day and print out the cards and send on to someone who may need a smile. It takes minimal effort and you will warm someone’s Heart. You will find the download link below.
