Halloween is a coming… wew… and qmc files uploaded…
Hello Hello and how are you? ready for Halloween? the planning, the preparation? I am really not into Halloween. I try, but it just isn’t my holiday. But either way we have a 4 year old who after much flipping flopping has decided to be a police office which we have the outfit for. So I told him awesome choice!
Well I have some excellent treats for those QMC members….
Here are the files I have uploaded in the last few days. So now we are up to 10 and I am on par for 29 files again this quarter. Guaranteed 20, but wouldn’t 29 be so much nicer! woohoo!! Okay here are some pictures and they have been uloaded to the forum and the 4shared link.
While you are at the forum. Don’t forget to do a last minute sign up for Bingo! I have given Karen some prizes and am working on more. One of the top prizes is a membership for next quarter!
I am back to creating. Have a wonderful Thurs! Tomorrow I’ll post some halloween pumpkin pics.
Enjoy!

fall card
I made this fall card with Chris Durnan’s challenge files. I added glittered embossing powder to the pumpkin and the word fall. I hoped they would show more clearly in the scan that hubby did for me, but it’s not very clear. Don’t you just love all the challenge files Chris made?

My email box runneth over with Challenge submissions.
Hello to all!! I am working on downloading all the submissions for the challenge. My most successful yet! Wow! I had to empty my email box 3 times yesterday to keep up. I usually have to empty it once every three days. Wow. Phenomenal. So I will work on getting them all downloaded and into the slideshow to post tomorrow.
I took yesterday off to rejuvenate my brain. We went to the pumpkin patch with Grandma and Papa and then came home and I just read a novel. Nothing to think about. Made some salmon for dinner and hung out. Now I am back at it!
Thank you to everyone who has joined Bingo. Wow Karen really got it going and she cannot wait to call out the words. You have a few more days to get your words in. So jet on over to the forum and see what is being listed as some awesome family traditions.
Also, my friend Lori is back into the blog world (waving at Lori). If you need a beautiful holiday gift with lots of personalized sentiment. Check out Lori’s stars. Wow! They are phenomenal. Missed you Lori!
That’s it for right now because I have to take the kiddo to school and hang out in town and wait for him. So I am headed to the library to wait.
Have a wonderful Monday!
Enjoy!

A birthday card
Ages ago, Chris had shared a file with various tags in it. I resized one of the tags, ran them through my printer using the 2Peas Mister Giggles font (my favorite) and created this cute card. I used some of those pre-made cards at JoAnns that I used my 40% off coupon on about a year or so ago. Sewed the edges for more texture. Added some wire, primas and mini brads. Fairly quick and easy. Oh yeah, just a touch of black ink to make the tag pop a bit. (Stazon).
A fun Thanksgiving Card
Here’s a card using some VDBC files!
This one used the pilgrim hat from #CD00172 and the Share Your Blessings file. Van Dyke brown ink pad and a few mini brads. I had already put my cutter away when I had the afterthought to add the parenthesis so I used my Quickutz but Chris has some parenthesis along with a lot of other symbols in her Essentials file #CD00277. I also changed this a bit and just used my square punches for the buckle instead of cutting the buckle since it was such a small element. I love when I can mix and mingle my supplies. A little doodling along the edge with a chocolate brown Zig – one of my staple supplies!
Friday WoW? BINGO Game signup, Adventures in Gluten Free cooking!
Is it really Friday already? Wow? This weekend should be lots of fun. My Niece is turning one! And then after that I am going out for drinks with my siblings and their significant others and my hubby. While Grandma watched the kiddos. This is fun. An Adult moment. then on Sunday, we are headed to Willcox to pick a pumpkin, ride the hayride, buy some veggies and (first and formost for my mom-in-law) eat apple pie. I won’t be partaking, but watching their faces eat it. Apparently it is yummy good. To much crust for me.
And what can you do this weekend??? Well sign up for Bingo of course. Karen is hosting for my at the forum. So please take the time to run over there and sign up. 1st place will win a Membership in Chris’s Cutter File Club for Jan-March 2009.
I am still getting submissions for the challenge and that is awesome. I will repost a new slideshow when I get them all up. They are all due by Sunday. Phenomenal crafters!
Tomorrow I have to get into the craft room. Do some test cuts on some new files. And also, cut some vinyl for on my nieces Birthday gifts. I have a few things to cut to personalize different peoples gifts. So hopefully it will all go smoothly and I will be on to making my Homemade Gourmet KEYLIME CHEESECAKE Ball. I bought Graham Crackers to go with it and my own kinda crackers. It is gluten free. and yum yum. So I think I will also. grate some lime peel with my microplaner (i think that is what it is called) to give the ball a green zest. add some interest to it in eye appeal.
Last weekend I tried to make Cornbread gluten free. I have a few recipes, but mixes are so much easier. I made two. One from the package recipe by Bob’s Red Mill gluten free mix. And the other. I took the mix and added its ingredients and then also added a can of cream corn, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and 1 can of green chiles. And cooked it for a bout ten minutes longer. It was yum! the first one got eaten to, but the second one went like hotcakes. Made twice the batch when adding those ingredients. So I will be trying it again. I like to mess with recipes. lots of fun. I made my first white chili to. It came out sweet according to my hubby. I think because I used frozen white sweet corn. So my hubby added some jalapenos from my garden to it and some Tony’s. Tony’s Creole seasoning is a staple in our home. It gets used more then salt and pepper.
Well now that my tastebuds are just watering. I am off to get some things finished up for this weekend. Have a wonderful weekend yourself and don’t forget to join the BINGO game at the forum.
Enjoy!
