My Bonnie

Renata (my extremely creative friend) just designed the most adorable digital kit! I just love it and had to make two pages with it right away. The kit is called My Bonnie (available Aug 1st). The golf page was inpired by a quick page in an album by Ranie O'Dell at The Lilypad and the second was inspired by a template designed by Amy Martin at the LilyPad. Thanks for looking.

My Boy

DigiLover's Addiction has a new kit-My Boy with such wonderful blues and fun elements. Here are 2 pages I made using her kit. Thanks for looking!

Your Friendship

Whooo-hooo...I made a card. A very very quick one, but still a card. This one is for the Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper challenge...copy and change at least 2 things on a card you find in Artystamper {Julia's} gallery. The fruit one is her card and the flower one {purple} is mine. Thanks for looking.

PInk, pink, pink

This afternoon and evening I got a chance to sneak up to the computer and make a couple more pages. The bubble blower page was inspired by a template that Ali Edward sells. I made that page using Serene by RW's kit- Spring Dusk. Those photos on the Door County page have been begging to be scrapped forever. I love that I got all the good photos from our trip on one page. The kit I used for that page is Serene by RW's kit- Stardust. Thanks for looking!

A Victorian Affair

Monika has a new kit at Ahhh Scrap! called Victorian Affair. Here are 2 pages I made using her new kit. I used a Scrapbook Max! template to make the sister page (I am on the left in case you were wondering), and the photo on the other is from Graphics Fairy blog. If you are in need of vintage clip art, check out that blog...she gives away vintage and Victorian clip art everyday.

American Crafts- Sibling page, paper version

Yay...I paper scrapbooked. Personally, it felt good to get paint all over and make a mess of my craft room again. I used all American Crafts- Amplified papers and journaling sticker on this page. Thanks for looking.

Girly Girl on the Beach

On Wednesday I met my friend and her 3 kids at the beach. The weather was perfect and the kids had a delightful time. Here is a page I made with one of the beach photos.

This page was inspired by a template I saw by Katie Pertiet. I used Serene by RW's kit-Girly Girl to make this page, stitches are by Emily Powers. Thanks for looking.

Brother and Sister

Renata has a new kit...such a fun one...at Ahhh Scrap! Look what I made with it. The kit is called Bro and Sis. The staples on both pages are Shabby Princess. For the first page I used the Pencil lines Skech #93 and for the second on I used Pencil lines Sketch #94. Thanks for looking.

Monika Designs

Well, I have been working with another designer, Monika Designs at Ahhh Scrap. Here are the pages I made with all of her wonderful designs. Both of these pages use her kit, Pretty Lady. The Fairy Princess page was inspired by a paper scrapbook page by Jana Eubank and for the second page I used a template by Christine Smith at Scrapbook Max! Thanks for looking.

For the ScrapRoom Newsletter

I was asked if I would make a scrapbook page for the ScrapRoom newsletter...so I made this page awhile ago...but wanted to wait to post until the newletter was sent out. I used a sketch that Susan Constanza created for the newsletter and came up with this. All paper is Me and My Big Ideas, Sanctuary line. Thanks for looking.

Another version of You are my Sunshine and Musician

Here are a couple of pages that I have done in the past few days. The first one I made using DigiLover's Addiction's paper pack- It's a Spring Thing (Ahhh Scrap!) and flower overlay by Pineapple Plantation Designs © by Shauna Burke-Smith. The musician one I made using Monika Design's- Sun Soaked kit. The stamp is by Irene V. Alexeeva. Kari had a neighbor boy over and she had to play the violin for him...it was so sweet. Thanks for looking.

Am I addicted?

Help...I just can't stop. I haven't made a card for awhile...or a paper scrapbook page. I think that this digi stuff is sucking me in. Here are my latest pages.

A few more Digital Scrapbook pages to share

I have been having so much fun creating more digital scrapbook pages. The first one is using the Serene by RW kit- Bohemian Rose. These are photos from the Renaissance Faire in Chippewa Falls, WI. The second page uses DigiLover's Addiction's - Summer Retro papers. Both kits are from Ahhh Scrap!. Thanks for looking.

Sprinkler Fun Digital Scrapbook Page

Whew...today was quite the day! I made this page first thing in the morning, and then the kids, my sister, and I went to Chippewa Falls to the Renaissance Faire and then headed to Invine Park/Zoo. Ok..on to the scrapbook page...I love these action shots. It helps that my son always is smiling...it makes my job as the photographer a whole lot easier. I used a paper pack called Retro Summer for this page by DigiLover's Addiction (25% off right now at Ahhh Scrap!)

Make a Wish... Dandelion Scrapbook page

On Wednesday my ScrapRoom July kit came in the mail and when I saw the KI Memories bloom paper...I just knew I took the perfect photos, as the paper looked like dandelions to me. So here is a page with those huge dandelions that we found at my parents' house on the Fourth of July. details:
Stems from Long-stemmed, Small Script;
Paper: Ruby Red, Kraft, KI Memories- Bloom
Ink: Choc. chip;
Accessories: sandpaper, circle (1 3/8) paper punch, dimensionals, stickles, sei alpha stickers;
Techniques: sanding photos.

A Distressed Sympathy card and Another Digital Page

Ron called from work and said he needed a sympathy card, as the clerk at the post office lost her father-in-law last night. This card uses the colors from today's color challenge on Splitcoaststampers...Groovy Guava, Barely banana, and Choc. chip. I pleated the bottom designer paper.

The digi page I made is of my kids with my uncle Otis. Watching them on the tractor brought back a flood of memories of my own childhood. That was one of my favorite things in all the world to do...ride on the tractor with Otis. I am sure he didn't love it as much...as I sang his ear off and talked non-stop. I used a kit I found here (free)-Digital Crea....I intended on uploading it for their contest...but I apparently missed the deadline...oops. Oh well. Credits: AmelieScrap,
Mymy'sdigiscrap, Mimilou, Nani, Fol, bisontine, Kawoette...all part of the FAN_DigitalCrea collaboration.

Golfing with Butterfly Wings and Color-blocked digital page

Here are two more pages I have made with Renata's (Serene by RW) digital kits. The golfing one uses the kit Stardust, and the pastel kit is called Citrus Sunshine....both are at Ahhh Scrap! The definition is from the Scrapbook Max program and the ribbon and bow are Digital Divas Designs CT-Tina.

I did the golfing page after taking these photos tonight. Kari just got these butterfly wings for her birthday and dad happened to be practicing golf...so that is how the two got mixed...that is definitely a "Kari" thing to do. This page uses this week's sketch on Splitcoaststampers. The pastel page...I scraplifted a layout in the SU! Spring/Summer catalog. Thanks for looking.

Come get this, Toothfairy

I get to play tooth fairy again tonight, as Kari lost her second tooth. Here is a page I made with the photos I took of her first tooth she lost and her portrait after her second tooth fell out. This page uses the Stardust kit from Serene by RW at Ahhh Scrap! I just love the black and pink together. I scraplifted the layout from the May/June 2008 issue of BHG Scrapbooks, Etc....a page by Jeri Hoag. Thanks for looking.

Last night I was busy using Vicki's (DigiLover's Addiction) kit-Berry Lime Crush. I made a second layout using her kit. You can find this kit at Ahhh Scrap, also.

Wish Digital Scrapbook page

I found some HUGE dandelions at my parents' house this weekend....so of course I had to get out the camera and take some photos. I made this page using Vicki's (DigiLover's Addiction) kit-Berry Lime Crush. I love the colors in this kit...so elegant. Thanks for looking.

Fashionista

I hope everyone had a happy and safe Fourth. We had a great time with family picnics, a kickball tournament, parade, and fireworks. I have many new digital pages to share. Here is one I made last night. For this page I used Renata's Citrus Sunshine kit (Serene by RW) found at Ahhh Scrap! Thanks for looking.

Sweet Little Bluebirds

I made this card last Thurs. for the Ways to Use it challenge on Splitcoaststampers, which was to use a bird or birds on a card...but my darn Kodak Easy Share camera broke (lens wouldn't retract). So I have a new camera, an Olympus SP510UZ...which I am loving! (Thanks Renata!) and got a chance to take a photo this morning. Thanks for looking! Details:
Inkadinkado, Best Blossoms, Spring Solitude (sentiments);

Minnesota State Fair

I couldn't post any paper creations, because my camera died last week. Here is a layout I did for Virtual Scrapbook Night on Splitcoaststampers. The challenge was to make something handmade on your page. I created the tickets by using my ticket corner punch, Noteworthy stamp (SU!), and $1 Target Spot alpha. Paper- Fancy Pants-About a Boy collection. Ribbon is Fancy Pants also. Journaling-For years people couldn't believe that I never had been to the MN State Fair. In 2007, Ron volunteered to work at the USPS booth, so I got my chance. Thanks for looking.
