Snowman picture November 22, 2009

Filed under: creations, quicktuz — pattichurch @ 12:54 pm

I have been trying to get organized with my cropping stuff.  When the store closed for the summer I had to take all my stuff home and find a spot for it.  And it wasn’t that easy.  There is stuff in our bedroom, the living room and our hallway.  So I have been trying to condense and control it to just one location.  When the store reopened in our new location I did move some of it back, but there is still a ton left.  One of the biggest things is the 5 years of magazines that I have been collecting.  So I decided to create an idea book.  (one of my customers does this and I always thought it was a great idea)  So I had an old notebook that I wasn’t using  and I began going thru the magazines and removing any idea or technique that I liked or thought I would like to try and then pasted them on the pages of my note-book, before I know it the magazine collection was gone and in the recycle bin and what was left was a great little idea book.  Well one of the ideas was this snowman picture in a black frame.  I believe that they had patterns for the snowman, but you know me and my Quickutz I just couldn’t pass up an oppurtunity to use them.  And this is what I came up with. 

 

It’s a 12×12 and then I put it in a black frame that I drilled 2 holes in and ran ribbon thru to hang it.  I love it and can’t wait to hang it up and use it. 

 

 

play ball July 12, 2009

Catie is on a health kick and decided that we all should play softball.  So Melissa, Mike and I went along for the laughs, oh wait I mean ride.  I told them that I was going to be the team photographer but the insisted that I play.  So I hit the ball and yes I did hit it a time or two, but I did not pitch or play the outfield.

pages that I promised.   Hannah bought her first car.  It was quite an experience for all involved.  We searched high and low and finally found a lovely Ford Contour that she could afford and liked.

here it is the long awaited layout June 16, 2009

Filed under: creations, quicktuz — pattichurch @ 6:11 pm

This year I decided to so a layout per person for christmas.  There are just too many photos to try and get one layout for them all so  this way everyone can have a special page.  My goal is to also have the person do their own journaling. (we’ll see how that goes)

have a special place in my heart.  Years ago while at the lake over the 4th of July my husband, brother and 2 cousins while out fishing decided that they were going to quit their jobs and become pirates.  Now keep in mind that one of them is the ceo of a company, one is a financial adviser, one a computer programmer and one is a truck driver.  Once they came back and told the wives their plans they somehow changed their minds.  Not sure how that happened but it was a fun dream job while it lasted. 

Here is another layout from my Disney trip

egg dyeing April 22, 2009

Filed under: creations, quicktuz — pattichurch @ 1:10 pm

is a family tradition in our house, however since Hannah didn’t come home for Easter this she dyed eggs at school with Dave.  Now I’m not sure if Dave was on board or Hannah made him do it.  But by the pictures he seemed to have a good time.

have you ever April 3, 2009

Filed under: creations, daily, quicktuz — pattichurch @ 2:57 pm

purchased something with the thought of giving it away and then when it is time to give it away you keep it for yourself.  Well I can say that happened to me today.

Hannah collects big h’s that she decorates and hangs on her wall’s in her room at home and her dorm room.  So I was shopping at JoAnn Fabric and came across this huge H and thought about buying it for an Easter gift but decided it was to big to ship.  As I was shopping I was talking to Rick on the phone and he convinced me to get it and ship it anyway.  So I picked it up with the intention of shipping it to Michigan unfinished.  Well today I decided to decorate it and one thing led to another it turned out so cute that I decided to keep it for myself and send her the other stuff I got her, minus the huge H  Sorry Hannah, but I will let you look at the next time you are home.
