Easter 2011

Now that Project 2010 is out of the way, I can get back to catching up on the past year or so! Woohoo! I know it's a little late but hope everyone had a very nice Easter! :)

2010... What a Year!

So this where all my scrapbooking energy has been devoted lately... just wanted to be able to say that this is all DONE! Whew! You can click on the links below to see the digital versions of the books. I haven't ordered hard copies yet (waiting for a good sale first!). I've never used this site before but I needed to find one that allowed me to stretch my layouts across two pages at a time. The program was really easy to use though so I'm hopeful that I won't be disappointed when they eventually do arrive! I may decide to redesign the covers at some point with something a little more personalized, when/if I feel motivated that is!

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!

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!
