First Page of the New Year!

Yes, I am still alive over here... just a lil' busy! Took a break this weekend though to scrap one of Isabella's fifth birthday pics. Can't believe my little baby is five already!

Halloween 2010

Wow, it's been WAY too long since I've created something just for the heck of it. These pics were taken back at the end of September, doesn't seem that long ago! Can't believe Halloween is this week already... Happy Halloween everyone!

Scrap n' Art World Cardmaking Day Blog Train!

Welcome to the Scrap n’ Art World Cardmaking Day Blog Train! If you haven’t been with us since the beginning of the train, make sure you go to Angela’s blog (http://www.theprissypixel.com/) to board. Our train is headed on a fantastic holiday tour and you won’t want to miss any of the ten stops. We start out at Halloween, head on over to Thanksgiving and end our journey at Christmas. Each blog along the way has a word that you will need to write down. At the end of the line, post the sentence you gathered from the various blogs and you will be entered to win an amazing prize package:

The train ride will be open until midnight Sunday (US Central Time Zone) and the winner will be announced on the Scrap n’ Art Blog on Monday, October 4th.

Welcome to Thanksgiving!

If you know me then you know that I'm a full blown digi girl and always will be! So what exactly can you do with cards as a digital designer? Well that's easy! First, digitally design your card front. You could make it whatever size you'd like but I went with the standard 4x6:

Next print your design out on photo paper, cut (if applicable) and adhere to cardstock:

Voila! You've got a real, 3 dimensional, hold it in your hand card! All you need to do is add your own special little message inside and it's ready to pass on to someone you love:

Now, if I were really motivated (plus had the time and proper resources) I could have totally hybrided this up a little more by decorating the front with some extra ribbons, glitter, embellishments... you get the idea. But if a sweet and simple (still hand made) sentiment is all your looking for, then you're good to go. We digi girls will not be left behind! ;)

Thank you so much for stopping by! My word for you is... Cardmaking. Next stop is Michelle’s blog (http://www.michellevocke.com/). Have a great journey!

From the Atlantic... to the Pacific!

Yes, life has been pretty hectic around here the past few months but still this summer, my family was fortunate enough to also be able to kick back and relax (somewhat!) on two wonderful vacations... and as the title tells - we traveled all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific!

First in July, we spent a few days hanging out at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware and then just a couple short weeks later in August, we visited the beach at Santa Barbara, California! Below are two pages showcasing this awesome opportunity Isabella and Gavin were able to share together this summer!

The Birthday Boy!

I made this page a little while ago, on June 9th to be exact. It's one of Gavin's third birthday pictures and I was waiting to post it until I finished scrapping some more of his birthday pics. But since it's now become obvious to me that that won't be done for quite some while I thought I'd go ahead and share this one anyway! I think this was Gavin's best photo shoot yet! He was all smiles, hope that's a good sign for what being three will bring! Can't believe another year has gone by already!

Some Sad News

I'm sorry to inform you all that I have offically resigned my position with Divine Digital. Since the start of my new full time job in April, I just have not been able to work out a way to have enough time for designing AND a life! I am very sad about this, I really did love seeing others enjoy my work but the good news is that I am keeping my position with Scrap N' Art Magazine. So, if you are a SNA subscriber, you will still be able to snag some great freebies from me. Also keep an eye on the SNA blog, you're likely to find more freebies from me there that are available to everyone. Just last week I posted this freebie:

These stickers coordinate with the current 2010 May/June SNA Collab Kit, Almost Summer. Click HERE to visit the SNA blog post where you can find the link for these fun summertime stickers. Enjoy and thanks for your support! :)
