Cody … almost 9 weeks

January 12, 2012 By Chris Durnan

Helllo to Everyone! Here is a Cody update. He is almost 9 weeks old. So I thought I would share some pics. 
First this was a beautiful sunset from our house. The mountains looked like cardboard cut outs according to my son.
After school, my cutey patootey comes home and takes Cody outside to play. This was what I caught them doing yesterday afternoon. 

You can just imagine the giggling going on during this encounter. 
They he noticed me and said MOM!!!!

Hubby had a headache and went to bed I stayed up to watch a little more tv and my buddy Cody decided to crawl up on my lap fall asleep. so snuggly.

And today I am working in the house and he just can’t seem to get close enough to me. To cute. Fun to have the company. 
Well hope the Puppy Loves of the world enjoyed my Cody posts. 
Have a fantastic day!
Enjoy!
Chris

Coffee Mugs – vinyl

January 10, 2012 By Chris Durnan

Here is another holiday gift. It is hard to show the whole name but the
beautiful hand model is my niece B and her coffee mug I personalized with
her name. (I forgot to take a pic before I gave it to her so she graciously
took one and sent it to me. Yeah! B! Thank you!) I tried to use the highest
tack possible for the mug. But Who knows how long it will last. We shall
see. I am not sold on doing more for the future. It was very hard to put on
the mug so I used Green frog tape on the letters rather then transfer tape
and I also used the Conical Warp in Make the Cut for the First time. I
cheated though and typed out the letters and tweaked them in Illustrator
first. I love my illustrator.

Well just wanted to share. And for those asking. Yes there will be another
QMC it will start in February and it should be a whopper wait til I tell you
the rest woohoo!

Have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!
Chris

Team Jacob Bag – HTV

January 9, 2012 By Chris Durnan

**Update ** H&H has the Siser Easy Weed Pack on Sale for the month of January I believe. If you want to try some.

My second HTV project was a gift for Christmas. I used one of the files from my friend Lori. I alterered it slightly so I wouldn’t have overlapping Heat Transfer Vinyl Material. My niece is super int Team Jacob. The first one is without rhinestones and the second is with. I got the bag on clearance with a few others for cheap. I love the ease of Heat Transfer Vinyl. I am not sure why I waited so long I loved it and my niece loved it as well. If you want Lori’s Team Jacob file she has it in the store here.
I just wanted to share as I downloaded photos today from the camera and the holidays.
have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!

Christmas 2009 Family

January 2, 2012 By Chris Durnan

I love to use collage photos for holidays with loads of photos.  Even with collage photos, I generally have a dozen or so layouts for each Christmas.  Once I get the first layout finished, they go pretty quickly because I use the same products on all of the pages.  Supplies are listed below. also used the ribbons from Visual Designs by Chris file #CD00550 called Love Title.  The perfect touch!
 
Note:  On the right side, I pop dotted a 4×6 photo over the collage because it was one of my favorite photos and I wanted it to stand out.  I also used the Bazzill stitch templates but rather than sewing, I used mini brads.  I really liked the effect. 
 
Supplies:
 
Patterned Paper:  DCWV Paper Pad
Deco and Sparkly Brads:  Spare Parts/Hobby Lobby
Swirly Bling:  Prima
Letters:  Thickers by American Crafts
Ribbon
Metal clamps:  Wal-Mart many moons ago
Bazzill stitch templates
Bazzill mini brads
Vellum quotes:  Memories Complete
