Belated Happy Everything!!

Okay, so I missed wishing everyone Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. But I didn't forget to pop in and wish you a Happy Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Are you ready for it? Did you get all the people you love a token? We're not big on Valentine's but I do love all the cute products and ideas that are available for this holiday. So, when I found some great digital art, I decided to make cards out of them.


Now, I'm not a big digital designer, but sometimes I love the ease of just printing and creating with none of the mess. I just used some glitter, an Anna Griffin border punch, some twine and scalloped scissors and voila! Simple and cute.

These adorable digital prints were downloaded from It's a Crafty Life and Eighteen25. Thanks for the great art ladies!

Next, a friend and I decided to try our hand at making some milk cartons without the Stamping Up Die. We found a bunch of video tutorials on YouTube and managed to create our own and design our own carrier. Here's my take on them.




Aren't these precious?! And no die needed! I am going to fill them up with some Valentine yummies for my sweetie. Once I get a chance, I will post a tutorial for these on ScrapaholicsQClub in the near future. So keep an eye out for that if you want to make your own for Easter, Mother's Day or whenever. I used Little Yellow Bicycle Paper for this one and a Martha Stewart heart punch.

Next, I leave you with a scrap page I just created. Yep, these pictures are from 2003, but hey are you all caught up on your scrapping?


Here's a close up of the glitter and foil effects on the paper.
The paper was DCWV autumn stack and the die cuts were purchased at Michaels. I've had them for a couple of years now so I don't remember what company made them. I created the collage on my computer with Foto Fusion. I love their collage program; it's super simple and quick to make great collages. I purchased their program about 5 years ago and I still love it.


Well, that's all I have for you today. Stay tuned next time when I show you how to weave a basket out of corn husks... HA! Soooo, not happening.

Stop by SQC and say hello sometime!

Digital Scrappin'

Hello everyone. I still haven't gotten into the groove to scrap again since the holidays but I did create a mini calendar for my Mom with my Foto Fusion software. Now, I'm not a big fan of digital scrapbooking because I like the feel of the papers and supplies in my hands; the digital side is just not as fulfilling to me. However, I do dabble a little and Foto Fusion is a wonderful collaging and digital scrapping software. I've had the program for years now and it always makes it so easy to scrap a page or create a quick collage.


Here are a few examples of the digitally designed pages for my Mom's calendar before adding the 3D embellishments (dummy me did not think to take a picture of the actual calendar), but anyway, you get the idea.




I translated a couple of the quotes from my Intrinsic calendar and the digital kits that weren't part of Foto Fusion were from Embellies.com (I downloaded a couple of kits from this site a while back ago and now I can't pull up the webpage.)
I am also going to dabble in Becky Higgins' Project 365 scrapbooking. Have you heard of that? Sounds like fun. Let's see.
