Happy Birthday to my Daughter

Today is my daughter, Jacky's 23rd birthday. This card is CASED from a swap I received a few months ago.
WOW! Time flies by and before you know it, they are adults.

Another Scrapbook Page And Matching Card

A couple of posts ago, located here, I posted a scrapbook page and card made from the same elements, that I was using for an upcoming workshop. After looking through some old pictures, I ended up making more of these scrapbook pages and cards and I decided to add some photos when the kids were younger. This is Jacky at three years old, more than 20 years ago. I believe she is saying, "Keep away! This is mine!" This set is Baroque Motifs and Batty For You.

Scrapbook or Card??

For an upcoming workshop that has both scrapbookers and cardmakers, I thought I would show this wonderful idea from Convention last year. The attendees can either make a 6 x 6 scrapbook layout or a 3 x 6 card using the same elements in both.

This layout uses Bermuda Bay, Black and Whisper White along with Circle Circus. Just the sentiments are different. The black is heat embossed and the 1 3/4" circle punch is used for the circles. I added my daughters picture from when she was three. I can't believe she will be 27 next month.

Holiday Wandering Words

If you know me, then you know that I like quick and easy cards to make.

I am very geometric with my cards, so tearing the Designer Series Paper was a bit of a challenge to me. However, I think it lent a little texture to the background.

The only stamping is the Happy Christmas in Basic Black.

My First My Digital Studio Project

This morning, I had some time to play around with Stampin' Up's new program called My Digital Studio.

I am having the BEST time creating all sorts of cards and the best part is that is, I am not wasting time cutting cardstock. I can see how something looks before I start. This card is from one of the many preinstalled templates. All I did was change the sentiment to Happy Birthday.

More to come!

Wandering Words with Autumn Flair

I liked this NEW set from the Holiday Mini made with our Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper. This card was especially easy peasy to make.

I used the markers on the word image and layered the designer series paper onto the base cardstock.

The leaf was made with the Leaves #2 die cut from Sizzix that Stampin' Up! sells.

New Blog Banner!

I was able to play with my NEW My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up! this weekend. How do you like my NEW blog banner. I created it using this great new software. Leave me a comment to let me know if you like it.

Will be uploading more ideas as I get more comfortable using it.
