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!

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!

I am here!!

Barely!

We had some terrible storms last night, it was awful!! Here we are in the middle of the night in the attic because we had a leak in our room. I don't even want to ask 'what next?'!! It was right next to my computer. Oh, what would I do without that!!!

I know that I've apologized before for not being around, but I have an excuse. Me and my big ideas with digital scrapbooking. I've become so addicted to it that I want to learn more ~ so I joined a group called digital scrapbook place. Oh, it's wonderful! And there is a member on there who's been giving me "lessons" so to speak. She's very kind to take me on, and very patient. It's really amazing what you can do.

I know, I know ~ enough of the blah blah blah's. You want to see some cards don't you? Ok, hold on to your hat - here we go!

This first card I made a week or so ago. Betty left this stamp set with me to use and believe me I used the heck out of it. I love this set!! It's by SU! called Fresh Cuts. And yes, I had to use Chocolate Chip.

The base card is Chocolate Chip that I layered with Certainly Celery and Barely Banana. I stamped the leave images in Chocolate Chip and Old Olive on white cs. I then layered Chocolate Chip and Certainly Celery cs over that with a length of ribbon and the three eyelets. I stamped the main image in Chocolate Chip on white cs and cut it out with my coluzzle. I then cut out 2 more layers with my coluzzle in Chocolate Chip and Barely Banana. If you look close you can see that I shaded part of the image panel with yellow chalk. I added some small flowers to that panel and layered it with pop dots and I was complete. I thought that it turned out really pretty. I actually have it sitting on my desk.

For this card I used another one of Betty's sets. Isn't she nice enough to let me use her stuff? I'm so bored with my stamps right now and Betty's been kind enough to let me use hers.

This set is called Pretty Amazing. I stamped the images on to a piece of white cs and I tried to keep the colors like those on the DP Summer Picnic. I then cut out the image panel with my scallop oval nestie ~ I did the same for the panel I layered under it in Real Red. I took the Summer Picnic DP and layered that on to the card with some ribbon. The image panel was added to the card with some pop dots, as well as the bird. The sentiment panel is from the Fresh Cuts set that I stamped with Old Olive ink and cut out with my coluzzle. The layer under that is some scrap DP that I punched out with my Marvy oval scallop punch.

I think it turned out really cheerful, don't you?

That's all I've got for you right now ~ I don't want to spoil you *Ü*

I'll try to be back later to show you some more! Have a super great day!!
