Want some digi?

I've been working on other stuff too.  At night to take a break from coloring or cutting or assembly I've been working on some digi pages.  I can get away with it because I've got Danielle's laptop in the living room and all my digi stuff on my thumb drive... 

I have no idea why my camera is not working right - it works when it wants to...  But since they were the only pictures I had, I had to use them.  A couple of weeks ago we went to the tree lighting here in town.  We took Dixie with us.  We want to get her socialized so it was a great time!  The tree is always at the court house and here are the before and after pictures.  The picture of Ricky, Dixie and I is a little blurry - but like I said, it's the only pictures I have so I had to use them.  Besides it's in our memories too, right?

Here is a few pictures of us on Thanksgiving.  Silly pictures, but it's all about the memories.

And another with Dixie in the yard.  If anything I hope that me sharing the pages with you gives you some sort of inspiration ~ if not for a digi page then a card front.  I get inspiration from all the strangest things.

More to come later...

More digi time!!

Ready for another digi page.  This one should melt your heart...  that's if your a puppy lover like I am.

This page was made with elements from the Digital Arts Cafe, a kit called Grandma's House.

Enjoy!

My little bowling pin...

Huh?!?

I wanted to share a digi page that I made up of Dixie.  She was waiting at the front door for Ricky to come home and she looked so cute just sitting there that I had to snap a picture.  She's not the little puppy that she was ~ she's getting so big.  It was not until after I took the picture that I got to looking at her with her sweater on and noticed that she looks like a bowling pin...  Poor girl...

This page was made with elements from Creating Keepsakes.

I hope that this inspires you to make something creative.

It's Digi Time!

I thought that I'd do another photo of Dixie.  She's grown so much it's not even funny.  When we got her she was only 4 pounds - we weighed her the night before last and she was 17 pounds.  In only a month.  So much for a little dog.

The other night Danielle was making something to take to school ~ she works in the daycare for a few hours during the day and she is always making something to take in.  Dixie was in the kitchen and this is what happened - flour everywhere.  She looked so cute that I had to snap the picture.  The elements are from Faith Sisters.

I hope this inspires you!  Have a great afternoon!

It's Digi Time!

It's been a long time since I've made a digital page that I thought the time was right.  Of course with a new puppy I've got lots of pictures. 

I made this with papers and embellishments from Scrapwow, it is their Tranquility collection.

I hope these inspire you somehow.  I'll be back tomorrow!  Have a great evening.

I never showed you...

I never showed you the digi page that I made from scratch, did I?

It was my very first page that I actually created myself. "Paper" and all. But first, our town has a huge fireworks display on the 4th. There are cars that line up on the side of the roads and everything. The past few years we've heard music too - but not this year. And of course the past couple of years it's rained on us too! We were sitting aside the road waiting for the show to start and I glanced over and saw these two birds sitting on the fence. Of course I had to grab the camera and snap a picture. I'm not sure what kind of birds they are since I've just started to love bird and watching them. If someone knows can you tell me??

And my digi page. Cool huh? I made every thing on the page but the two frames. Those are fireworks from this years show. Mom just had her eye surgery a couple of days before that's why she's wearing the patch. Danielle said that it looks like a cheese grater - it really did! And that's the BBQ we had. Luckily we have a little porch overhang that we can stand under or we would of been wet!

I hope you enjoy. Now I'm off to create something that I can show you tomorrow!

It's digi time, again!

This was a page that I made from elements from Digital Scrapbooking Place. These are pictures from the SCS gathering this past weekend.

Happy Thursday!

Isn't today just wonderful? It's not hot (yet) and the clouds are fluffy and the birds are singing. It's just beautiful today.

I was told yesterday that I was picked up on Digital Scrapbooking Place (DSP) to be a mentee. I will have a mentor for 3 months to teach me the in's and out's of digital scrapping. Isn't that just awesome!!! I am very excited. I just love the whole digi scrap booking thing, but I want to learn to make my own papers and elements and such. I don't want to have to rely on kits other people have made. So needless to say I'm very excited.

I've kinda blown my time on the computer this morning. I've been blog hopping. Something that I don't do often enough. So I'm only showing you a sneak peek of what I've made. Let me tell you it's really cool! Stay tuned tomorrow morning when I show you the whole thing!

I hope that you have a wonderful day!

Digi Time!

Howdy everyone!

I took part in a challenge over at Digital Scrapbook Place. It was to take a picture showing what is outside your window and here is what I came up with. You all probably have seen these pictures, but here is a new page. I used elements from the Button Page Kit Created by Suzanne C. Walker. I hope to start making my own pages and elements, that's what I've been working on. Hope you enjoy!!
Have a great afternoon!

**Edited to add:
I had this and another 2 posts ready to post for you and for some reason blogger did not post them. I wanted you to know that I was still here ~ just busy. So I will try again..

Digi Time!

I'm here ~ again ~ with another digi page for you. I made this page the other day for Digital Scrapbook Place.

I took these pictures when Joyce was here and one evening her and Ricky decided to dance. It was so funny. But anyway, I made the actual back ground papers myself. It was a proud moment. Have a great afternoon!!

Digi Tuesday Afternoon

I couldn't resist. I had to post a digi page. I know, like I said, I'm addicted!!!

I'm sure that you all remembered that I mentioned it was my hubby's birthday this past weekend. Yes, Father's Day and a birthday all in the same weekend. Let me tell you ~ he felt special!

I joined a group at Digital Scrapbook Place (DSP) and I am in hopes that it will give me even more knowledge into the digi world. This is something that I really love to do and I want to learn all I can. And when I joined their forum I received a cool welcome kit to make this page with. So now I'm posting it for you all.

Ricky is kinda boring in the fact that he is not a "sweet" person so I had to drag it out of him what kind of cake he wanted. It was painful... So finally he said he wanted a white cake with chocolate frosting ~ so that's what I made for him. I thought "white cake, how boring" but it actually turned out yummy!! He used to pick things like that when Ginger was alive so she cold have some cake with him...

I hope that you enjoyed my page. Something to give your inspiration a little kick start.

Have a great afternoon!

I am here!

I think that I'm back on track... I think...

I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I've just been busy with life things I guess. It happens...

Yesterday Betty stopped by. Totally shocked me. It was after dinner, and of course she always stops by when I look, ahem, at my "prettiest"... Isn't that always the way. But of course as soon as I saw what was in her hot little hands I had to hug her and show her in to sit down!! Yes, it was the new SU! catty!!! OMGoodness, it's wonderful!! I thanked her and told her 'now you know what I'm going to be doing for the next 3 days!'. When they left we sat in the living room and I had already been thru the catty. You know, the quick take a look kinda thing. Then when we were in the living room Danielle said "didn't you just look thru that?" Silly kid, of course ~ but that was the preliminary look. Now I've got to look again. And again. And again... They really did it up nice this time! Tomorrow I'll show you what she gave us too, it's adorable!

Are you ready for a card? I hope so, here goes.

This card I made with my TAC set Little Cupcake. I stamped the cupcake image and masked it off to stamp the candle peeking out from behind the cupcake. I colored most of it in with my pencils and gamsol. I used my markers for things like the dots, cherry and candle flame. The base card is Perfect Plum. Yes that retired in 2004 but on a organizing frenzy I found a 1/2 full pack of it!! I layered the card with Green Galore, Pink Pirouette and DP from TAC's A Little Whimsy collection. I stamped the sentiment with Pink Passion ink. It is actually 2 sayings but I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place it so it says "birthday cupcake wishes". I added a length of organdy ribbon and some stickles and I was complete.

I don't think that I've shared the new site I've found with you yet. It's called Digital Scrapbooking Place. OMGoodness, they are awesome. It is such a wonderful site with SO many helpful people it's unreal! I've spent a short amount of time there this weekend and there is so much to learn. Yes, I've used so many freebie kits doing the digital scrapping ~ but I hope to someday be able to make the kits and papers and embellies to digi scrap. And I'm sure that hanging out there will help me learn. They are so patient and kind to beginners, you've got to go peek just to check it out. If anything you will be inspired!

It's time for me to go. I've got some wife-ly duties to take care of. I will be glad when one day the find toilets that clean themselves. Until then, it's my job.

Have a great day!

You ready for Digi Friday?

It's a little late today, but you ready for Digi Friday??

I've been a little busy today with birthday things ~ and hubby's on the phone with his sister so I thought that I could squeeze in a digital page for you.

I made this page with elements from RAK Scraps. It's kinda a fun page I think, don't you?This picture was from when a friend of ours from one of our groups came by to visit last year. We've been blessed to of been able to meet quite a few people from our different groups. It's so nice to actually put a face to the posts.

I hope that you all have a great weekend. And Happy Father's day to all you Father's out there if your reading. I'm sure that I will be posting some more digi pages for you to peek at *Ü*

It's Digi Afternoon

Actually it's not... It is still morning, but I am scheduling this so blogger will post it for me when I shut off my computer. I wanted to be able to show you something this afternoon and with a storm coming I was afraid I could not do it. So, I'm scheduling *Ü*

I made this page with papers and elements from The Shabby Princess.

This was our last stamp show that we went to in California. These are dear friends that we left back there. If there was a way to pack them up with us I would of done it. I miss them dearly each and everyday.

Hope this inspires you. Why don't you take a stab at it? Just go to one of the places that I've listed on my digital pages and download a free kit? Take a picture and play with it. It really is super fun. OH! And super addicting. I went out and bought a 8mb memory card to hold all my digi kits and it's almost full. Now, is that addicted or what?

Have a great afternoon!

Digi Time

You didn't think that I could let a day go by without doing a digi page, did you??

I made this page with a kit called Mel's World from DigitalArts-cafe. This was Joyce, Danielle, Mom and I at Frisch's Big Boy here in town. We stopped in for lunch the other day. I love the elements in that kit!!

I'm really in hopes that me doing this inspires you. I've lost a few subscribers, and I don't know why. It just tells me that the content is no longer relevant? I've posted cards and scrap pages. I think that's relevant ~ don't you??

This is all I have for today! Wishing you all well for a wonderful Wednesday!

Digi time Tuesday

I'm back and here with a new digi page...

This one is a page I made with elements from The Shabby Princess. I hope you like it.

The goose was from our trip last week to Archivers. We went there and standing out side at the mall was this goose. Cars and people did not seem to bother him. He just stood with his feet in the puddle. And the cardinal is from out bird bath out back. I finally caught one in there. It seems like they knew every time I turned the camera on to snap their picture that they would fly away. Well this time I caught him!

Hope you like it, and more so I hope that it inspires you!!

It's Digi Monday

Hi everyone, I told you I'd be back this afternoon. Well, ok ~ I was not sure. But I'm here with a digi page for you.


I took this picture last week, it's of Mom and Joyce. We went to lunch at this cute little diner on Main Street called Fava's. I think that it's been there forever. Well we went in and had lunch and walked around Main Street for a little bit. The hanging flowers were so pretty I told Mom and Joyce to stop and say "cheese". I think that it turned out nice.
I used a kit from Summertime Designs called Memories. You like? I hope so. I'm having a blast making all these pages.

Well - that's all I have for you today. Like I said earlier, the laundry is calling.

Digi Time!

Today we headed off to Winchester Kentucky to their Beer Cheese festival. It was not really hot out either, so it was pleasant to walk the streets and see the vendors. We were going to go to Elizabethtown however we got a late start and thought it best not too.

This page I made using a kit from Summertime designs. The kit is called Sweet Springtime. I hope that you enjoy it, and that it gives you some inspiration.

Have a super great day!!
Hugs,

Joani

Sorry for the lack of posts

I'm truly sorry for my lack in posting the past few days. If you remember our friend Joyce is here from California and we've been busy doing things outside the house.

I did just whiz up a digital page for you if you'd like to take a look-sie. I just love digital scrapping... It literally takes minutes.

This page was made with elements from Shabby Princess. I used the Harvest Spice collection. Perfect for the fall page.

These pictures were taken Halloween 2007. There is a place here in town that we go to each year called Bi-Water Farm. I think that I've talked about it before. We go there in the fall for the pumpkins and the petting zoo (yes, that's for me...) and then in the spring we go there to get our plants for the garden and my flowers. This year is their 50th anniversary! Wow!!

I will try, yes try, to get back this weekend and post something for you. We are going to take a day trip someplace tomorrow - where we are not sure yet. But I'm sure that I'll have pictures, the camera is charged!

Have a great one! And thanks for the patience with me.
Hugs,

Joani

Digi Time!

Good afternoon everyone! I thought that I'd share a digi page with you.



Danielle loves to fish. I think that it is something that she remembers from way back... I'm not sure if I told this or not but when she was little Ricky and her made a worm box and they used to fish.



Funny story: When Danielle was about 2ish or 3ish Ricky would take her to the pond at the local park where we lived. He had bought her her first fishing pole. It was yellow and marked "catfish fishin' pole" and she loved it! Well this one particular time he took her to the pond and they were there fishing when all of the sudden she got a fish on her pole. She dropped the pole and said to Ricky "Bicky - it's broke". She used to call him Bicky. Well anyway he dove for the pole just as it was about to go into the pond... She dropped it because she thought that they were just there with the pole's in the water, she did not know what to do when she caught a fish. It's one of those you had to be there kinda things - but it brings back fond memories for me.

Well fast forward to today... Danielle still loves to fish and last season Ricky bought her a tackle box to go with her pink fishing pole. Yes, it's pink. So now that she's older she needs a licence. We took her down and got her a licence and took her fishing this past weekend. This page shows the pictures of our trip.

I had a tragic experience with my fish I caught, I felt bad and I named him "Herman". I used a digital kit from Memory Makers Art Nation.

Hope you enjoy it!
Hugs,

Joani
