last day to join this quarters qmc... Caught Red "Pawed"

So I am working away today and look over and see the little thief again. Lately I have been trying to get my son to clean out his basket. This is my system of.. here are your items, put them away in one swoop, instead of lots of banter about please do it. do it. please put your things away. The top one is my hubbies with all the tools he brings in to work on the house and then migrates them out again. The next my sons and the bottom is mine. Well now I know why I feel like I am picking up the same item over and over and over. Look at all the items on the floor I just picked up .... the stinker...

I am off to the Rodeo and to dance today! Don't forget to visit the store and get in on the sale. or get in on the QMC for this quarter while you can!

Enjoy!

Chris

Friday yeah! Last day for Challenge Requests!

Well there is lots going on here in Tucson and also at Visual Designs by Chris.
1st lets get the business out of the way. Then I'll show you some pictures.

Important Dates you Should Know

The Cutter File Challenge


I wll be taking the last requests for the files on Saturday. Sunday I will send them out and then they are all due in by March 7th. So email me with Challenge in the subject line and I will send them to you. If you want more info it is on the right hand side of my blog.





The Quarterly Membership Club


I will be closing this current quarters to new members on Sunday morning when I get up. You will have until March 31st to download. If you want to see some of the files that are included you can view them on the left hand side of my blog. There will be 29 files for $10 as I have done in the past. There are not all 29 files shown on the left hand side. Just some. If you are interested in joining. Here is the Link to the store where you can purchase. please join the forum after your purchase so I can add you.





Also, I will be sending out the new password for the QMC for the 4shared site. Someone found it prudent to pass the information on. So I have shut it down. and wil be resending those today. If you don't get the password email me direct I will send it to you. I know there are only about 30 people who use 4shared and not the forum. So don't hesitate to email me. We have had a long run where the password has not been passed on. I appreciate those who haven't done so and understand this is how I support my family. I especially appreciate your honesty and your patronage.

And now that the business end is over... Here are the Tucson Rodeo Parade pictures. The 84th annual! Woohoo!As always this event was awesome the longest non-mechanized parade. And can I tell you it is a delight to see next to folks who have never been to it and are visiting Tucson. I sat with them and chatted about horses, Tucson and being proud of your heritage and those things that make Tucson different and original. here are just a few teeny tiny pics of the 100's I could have taken.

The beginning banner walked by some girls from the local school! There were lots of bands that played. It was awesome hear them keep the beat and the rhythm from Nogales, Tucson, Sahuarita there were lots of them there. The flags.


A silent moment for those who have passed this past year from the Rodeo Committee

Then we had itty bitty entries


Pretty in Pink entries. WOW! This is the color horse my friend Lori would want.

Our friend Jorge on the Sheriff's Mounted Posse. He volunteers to help those who need it. Especially hikers that get lost in the mountains that surround or city or anything they ask him for help with.

And this was the Tucson City Council Wagon. Really I had to look at it twice and read the fine print to know it was. Unfortunately, it seems there were not to many representatives present to acknowledge Tucson's History in our 84th annual parade. Seeing this was a bummer to me.

And this is our friend George who I found out is now a Tucson Parade Museum docent. How awesome! His wife Julie was on the sidelines parolling the edges to make sure no one stuck their little toes out to get stomped on.

And saving the best for last.... This is my Uncle Chris. Love him dearly! He has been on the Tucson parade committee for a long time and continues on. The parade committee members have to volunteer for a long period of time before they can actually be on the committee. It takes a lot of work and dedication.

And then that is it for now...

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

I will be out at the rodeo most of the weekend and

then swinging around the dance floor with the hubby in the evening.

Thanks for joining me for my show and tell.

Enjoy!

Digi-Cut and Digi-Scrap the best of both worlds!!

So have you seen Caz floating around posting awesome files both digital and hybrid. Well if you have you probably have figured out that she has joined my Creative Team Crew. Wooohoo!! And some of her work is awesome. Adding her digital scrapbooking touches and also cutting files on here KNK she has provent that when it comes to hybrid you can have the best of both worlds. Here is a little about Caz. and you can see her awesome files at the Creative Teams blog.

Welcome to the Team!!

Hi, I’m Caroline.

I am really excited about working for Visual Designs By Chris, my first foray into the dizzy world of hybrid scrapping. I hail from the Central Tablelands, New South Wales, Australia, although am originally from England (a long time ago). I am a SAHM of five. I have four beautiful girls ranging in age from 25 to 19. I have only one child left at home though, my gorgeous son 13yo Nicholas. Gary and I have been together for a long time but only tied the knot in 2006 whilst on holidays in Tasmania.
I have been scrapping since I was a kid, but recently discovered Digital Scrapbooking about 2 years ago. I love that this area of creativity joins together all the things I love, Scrapping, my KNK Maxx, Photography and my Computer (without which I am lost). I use PSCS3 and am learning about KNK Studio.
I am looking forward to meeting all of you soon.

Caroline Stedman

... You can chat with Aussie_Caz at the forum. So jump on over there!! Great looks and fun for digi-scrap and digi-cut.

Enjoy!

Flashing her Baby Blue... Patches

So our puppies Patches looks all sweet and innocent. Well today the Nascar race is on. So we have it on in the background and watch some of it here and there. Do the laundry. Play Nascar with my son. Play with puppy. watch a little Nascar. Make dinner that kinda thing. Well my Son is playing Nascar and starts looking around and realizes...hmm.. he is missing a few... and we caught her in the act. We watched for her hiding place and Voila! There are 3 other cars. Of course you can see from our photo investigation she was very good at feigning her innocence or flashing her baby blue at us.

Hmm keep the car in eye sight but act like you don't see it.

Ignoring the car. Total Distraction.

Picking off the cars from our carpet race track.

hahaa.. Well as most would have figured out. I have been creating new files with lots of Puppy breath included! I have great inspiration.

Have a wonderful Monday!

Enjoy!
