I had a fun time this week completing this layout. My daughter at her 4th birthday. I used Chris’s Cupcake and Muffins file for the little cupcake embellishments. I thought they nicely mirrored the cupcakes in the patterned paper. The other supplies I used were: Basic Grey patterned paper, Stampin up glaze, Paper studio Chipboard, CTMH metal edge tags. Miscellaneous Buttons.
Enjoy, Rosalie

This is my Stickles wall. A few people emailed me and asked how I store
mine. This way the air bubbles are out and they are ready to go. I am
addicted to pegboard. This tool holder holds the little ones perfectly! I
think for the tools you are supposed to hang them in the other slots but the
wider are perfect for the stickles. On one of them I had to spread it to
hold a bottle.
I had a few emails asking where I got them and some of the colors. I asked
for them for Christmas from abc distributing. They had 8 I think for $8.00.
My mahvelous Mother in Law got them for me. So they are so much fun to play
with. And my kiddo has been adding to the decorated heart. When he is done
filling it in with all the stickle I am gonna hang it on the wall above the
stickle wall for show. Haha. Anyways I went to check abc and they had 8 for
6.00 right now. ( I am an abc distributing junky!)
I am working on QMC files and have been uploading them. By today I should
have 20 up and then the last "icing on the cake".
So that's my update from me for now!
Have a wonderful day
Enjoy!

Gave my kiddo a wooden heart and told him he could decorate it. Apparently we really wanted to try as many stickles colors as possible. Love it! Enjoy! Chris

The last week of Spring Break and this morning my son says… “ I had a dream about school.. I miss school.” I had to smile. He said this from bed buried under his blankets and blankets. And it was 9 a.m. he would have been very late for school, but he went to bed late. Thursday we are getting back to our schedule for now I am glad to be a little more relaxed. Last week we didn’t spend a lot of time doing fun spring break things, but this week should be better. We have plans to visit the news station with scouts, skating, visit Aunt Nannees and see her new camper, and go to a friends house, and Scout A Rama. Somewhere in there I will fit in some work. So it should be a great week before going back to school.
I hope you had a great weekend! We celebrated St. Patty’s Day at my “in-love’s” house. I could not be more blessed with such a great set of parents from my hubby. It was a ton of fun with lots of family there and things to play and do. My hubby missed his St. pat’s day songs. O-Danny-Boy and the like, but he dealt. No one else wanted to sing. J My kiddo would have. We listened to his Karaoke machine off and on all weekend. On Saturday, my kiddo took first place in the Raingutter Regatta for Scouts. Raingutters sealed at the ends and filled with water. The boys ran two at a time against eachother blowing them with or without straws down their raingutter to a win! Very cute and very fun. Then there was a birthday party for a friend’s son. My kiddo had so much fun and he got to decorate a soda bottle for a rocket that works with a combination of air from a bicycle pump and water. I was elated to see this. Yeah! We are doing this next month for Scouts for Rocket Derby. All I could think was “cha-ching” mark that off my to-do list for April yeahooo!! Nice to have something done before the month even begins.
I did a lot of sketching and noting this weekend for my final files for the QMC. This made me happy. I felt a little stumped, but think I have the last few set and plans of what to do. Now to get them all up. Yeah!
Well I wanted to welcome you to another week!! I hope it is a wonderful one and you find lots of time to craft and create!
Enjoy!
Chris

| Our Mikie Boy enjoying the fire place. Used just the fire portion of file #CD00529 Roasting Marshmallows from Visual Designs by Chris. The title is cut using Quickutz Calvin. This was going to be a quick layout. LOL but then I tried using the sewing machine which never cooperates. I am certain it is operator error. *smile* The machine pierced the holes but I went back and used a thick thread and hand sewed it. I like the thicker look better. I hadn’t planned to use hearts here but the sewing machine ripped a hole clean through the paper so I covered it with the hearts. The larger one was cut using my Accu-cut machine and the primative heart die from chipboard. The smaller one is a punch. Inked them up with Distress inks… Wild Honey, Marmalade, Tea Dye and Brick red. Then added buttons that I thread before glue dotting. The fire and the smaller heart are pop-dotted. Patterned paper is some old Kaleidescope.

The dog is mad at me cause she is old and her skin is sensitive so I am in the process of her trimming her little bits at a time so she doesn't have a seizure from the stress of it. Every room I come into she seems to leave. Such great attitude. Doesn't she know its going to be 85 tomorrow and it's only going up.
And the kiddo is nervous because he can tell I am on the warpath for his room and have already started moving things and talking about… Would that make a good sand box toy? He comes home from school and runs in and checks it.
Hubby is happy with me. So no complaints there. Yeah!! Someone isn't emotional around me. However, he and I both need a quick vacation of some kind. Been a little frazzled.
And I am making cool ice for the birthday party coming up. Wish I had bought an extra tray. 8 at a time is a long haul! But its fun to do.
Hope you are doing well and having a great week so far!
Enjoy! Chris

It’s been awhile for me, but I am back with a sketch challenge at Visual Designs by Chris. The sketch by Becky Fleck at Pagemaps and the cutter files makes this project so easy. Here’s my version of this month’s sketch.
The details can be found in the forum.
Come check it out. Thanks Rosalie
