not a big fan of white

As I do my birthday cards each month I try to come up with something fun and different. I am always looking for a color to inspire me and to use as my base for the card. Well this month I had an idea in my head and I got what I thought I'd need to put this idea down. BUT when I went to make the base of my card all I had was white. White just doesn't do it for me, it's just blah in my opinion. But I had nothing else to use at the moment and needed to get theme done, so I used white. Sorry for anyone getting this card this month, it's not what it should be but it's cute.

I'm in trouble now

This is sooooo not good (but really it is). As if I need one more thing to occupy my time. I have fell in LOVE with digital scrapbooking and stuff. My favorite designer is Kirstin Aagard.

And this is my very first digital layout.

And these are my favorite kits.

And you can see more of Kirsitn's super cute designs here.



I also have to add this invite i did, using her kit, for my Activity Days activity. Can I say again I love her stuff!!!

well it's something

My husband has recently purchased Photoshop for our computer and I am so a newbie at it. Thank heavens for Google. We had pictures taken this last weekend, as you can see from the post below, and I had a vision. Well this is sort of my vision come to life. It'll take practice and patience but I'll get the hang of it. (disclaimer: I am NOT a professional)

Green and black birthday card

I love being able to make just one card not a multiple of them. I can go all out and not have to worry about assembling many. So here's one I did for my great friends birthday. Thanks again for the great company over a yummy dinner. Happy Birthday Dacia!!

Tutu's

While we had family here this last week and a half all the grandkids were together so of course my mom needed a picture. I thought it would be cute if we put all the granddaughters in tutu's of different colors. I made three and my two sisters each made two, I think they turned out super cute!

August b-day cards

Super easy and I got to try out my new punch.
