CDAC Progressive Challenge Round 7 Post 1


A whole new round of Progressive Challenges has now been posted at CDAC.

A progressive challenge is real fun and a great way to get FREE images. With CDAC's Progressive Challenge you are given a set of images. Make a project with any one of those images, link it to the CDAC PC Page before the deadline and they will send you an invite to a group where you can pick up a new set of images at. Again make a project by the deadline with any of the new images and they send you more FREE. Plus you are put in a drawing for some cool prizes. Now if you didn't get in the last round and want in on the new one, all you have to do is buy the images for a small fee. How cool is that!! Plus it is super cool to see what everyone else does with the same image. 

This image is by Heart Song Designs.  I made a bookmark using this cute apple.  It's a bad photo cause the light went out in my light box.  There is black glitter on the seeds of the apple.  This has also gone postal to my daughter in Alabama.  She is a college student and I love her having a little piece of me with her when she is studying. 

Hugs. Love. and Prayers

Now my first project is an image by Sew Many Cards and is a cute bear and a honey pot.  I used Glossy Accents on the honey jar to make it look like it is glass.  And this card has gone postal to my daughter in Alabama. Sorry for the bad picture, my light went out in my light box. 


Hope to see your project.
Hugs. Love. And prayers.

Chris + Laptop = MESS

I got my Toshiba back 2 weeks ago.  I took and cleaned off the Dell of all the stuff I use, and got it set up for Larry and I would use the Toshiba...it can do more than the Dell.  He knows nothing of computers...he has turning it on down but not much after that.  Got it all down and he has had the Dell for about a week.  Last night I went upstairs and when I come down Larry has the Toshiba and said the screen is broke.  How? Why?  Got no clue.  Larry refuses to tell me what happened.  In the past 2 years I have spilled milk on one, broke the screen on the Dell once and the Toshiba TWICE.  Larry gave the Dell back to me and when we get back from our our trip he will have a new screen put on it AGAIN and he will be using it.

CDAC Progressive Challenge


This is the last round of the CDAC Progressive Challenge.  I am hoping they do this again.  It has been fun.

If you don't know what a progressive challenge is, let me take a moment to explain.  In the first round we were given a free set of images.  If you made a project with an image and linked to the challenge page before the dead line, you were sent another set of images for FREE!!  Now if you didn't get in on the previous round...no sweat.  For $1 you can purchase the current set of images.  Each set has 4-6 images...for $1.  Can't beat that price.  So when you get the new set you again have to link a project to the challenge page and again they would sent you the next set.  And there are prizes at the end of the challenge.  :)

Now here is my project. 

Hope all is well with everyone.
Hugs, love and prayers
Chris

Exciting News!!!

We're gonna be GrandParents!!

My son and daughter-in-law, TJ and Lisa, are expecting!!  4 years ago TJ told me they have a plan.  Wedding, a house of their own, and then children.  They were married in 2009 and moved into their new home last week.  TJ said they weren't going to have children until they had been in the house a while.  Well I guess 7 months is a while.  LOL.  They are expecting June 20, 2012!  Granny will be tearing up the roads between Virginia and Philly!!  I am the second family member to know!!  YAY!!  TJ is painting all the rooms in the house.  I told him to get the guest room ready.  He said baby room comes before the guest room.  Hmmm maybe I can go help with the babies room!!  Maybe I will start admitting the big -0 birthday in May.  :)

Craft Room

Cleaning my Craft Room

It seems I have acquired more than I had storage space for.  But I have found a solution.  Gotta love FreeCycle.  A lady gift me 5 3 drawer storage containers.  I happened to be in WalMart yesterday and they are about $9 each.  So I am shuffling things here and there.  Not everything will be within my reach, but I have more stuff now and it all can't be.  I will take pictures later.  If I ever find the end of it all.  They say it has to get worse before it gets better.  I guess I am at that worse part right now.  LOL
