Welcome...
So glad you chose to stop by!
I hope to use this blog to share some of my handmade cards as well as some of my scrapbook pages and maybe a few pics here and there that may or may not make it to a scrapbook page.
Scrapping for me is simply a fun hobby that I don't do often enough. More often than not, I'm a collector of all things scrap... i.e. tools, paper, embellishments...
Now to become motivated... Maybe this blog is just the way to do it...
Enjoy and come back SOON!
I love the Card Positioning System (CPS) sketches. So much so that you can always find me lurking around to see what the extremely talented folk are doing… Rarely or I should say NEVER do I join in on the fun. But today, I decided to jump right in and follow the crowd.
I had a great time with this one. I will definitely join in more often.
Digital Elements: Paper -- Damask Dream Dots & Kim Christensen Thrift Chic
Physical Elements: Ribbon & Heidi Swapp Bling…
Enjoy…
This card was made for a precious little boy who’s been in the world 365 days… that’s all!!! Yep, he turned a year old and is just the cutest bright eyed little boy… Aren’t kids just precious and loveable and deserving of their very own personalized birthday card?
So for this card, I couldn’t resist trying a little more digi paper. How cool is that…? If I don’t have the right colors in stock, I can just surf until I find some that I want… Works for me…
The card was made using a few Cricut Cartridges and I had to rely on my trusted Cricut Design Studio to bring it all together (welded that is…)
Enjoy…
So, I'm always reading scrap related things (magazines, blogs etc...) looking for new things to try. Hybrid Scrapbooking has been on the the list of things to try for a long time... I held off for a while because the idea was a little intimidating... Hybrid scrapbooking is the combination of digital scrapbooking with traditional scrapbooking. Some of the elements are physical and some of the elements are virtual... It's like having the best of both worlds (thx for the title PZ...)
So my first attempt is a hybrid card... Just know this... While creating this card, I spent an awful lot of time in a state of confusion... That's because Adobe PSE is also new to me and this hybrid thing requires the use of layers... Layers in the traditional sense... No problem..., but digital layers... Uh.. OK...
After trial and error (because I hate to read manuals), I have a finished product...
Digital Elements: Black and white dotted paper (way cool...), Swirl brushes (left and right of page), and the friendship quote... (all are either .jpg or .png)... Can't wait to learn how to change the colors... I'll never run out of paper or patterns...
Traditional Elements: White and black polka dot ribbon, paper flowers, and green rhinestones.
The actual card is more vibrant... The picture is a little dull...
Well here's to discovering new techniques... There are some serious digital scrappers out there... I am AMAZED at what they do...
Enjoy...
