Lovely as a Tree

2013-09-28 001 008
Such a CLASSIC! This card is ALWAYS a hit...year after year! The art copyright date is 2001 - it's been around a longggg time!! The secret is Craft White Ink (#101731) to create the snow. Use a sponge dauber to "scrub" on the ground snow. Use the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set (#130514 wood or #130517 clear) for the snowflakes.

Orchid excitement!

2013-09-19 001 020
I have long enjoyed gardening! I've been learning about Orchids for a year now and own 9. This is my pride and joy!! Wish this were SMELL-A-VISION because this orchid smells like lilacs!

2013-09-19 001 019
My plant has SEVEN flower stalks, two of which are just opening!! The secret: weekly liquid fertilizer during the growing season.

2013-09-19 001 021
Caladiums, also known as Elephant Ears, do very well here in Florida, also! They are sooo colorful!

2013-09-19 001 006
This is also a Caladium, called AFRICAN MASK. It's dominant veining is striking! I try to do most of my gardening INSIDE of the screens. It's rather buggy here, near the Creek. Bugs love me. What are your favorite plants?


Cards as Gifts

100_3805
I enjoy giving a little pack of my hand made cards as a gift. This was a recent class I called "Cards as Gifts" and everyone loved the idea! Here is the folder - fast, easy and inviting!

Scan 370005
This pattern shows you how easy you can create this folder. On 8.5X11 cardstock: score at 5.5", rotate and score at 2.5". Remove a small "V" at the center of the fold up flap. Apply Sticky Strip at "XXX's." Fold. Decorate!

 

100_3804
Inside the folder are four lovely cards and envelopes. The Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper #130131 gives this project interest and a GREAT color combo! Try it!


Thank U

2013-09-28 001 003
Gosh I LOVE my Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. I use it to create sooo many things! This is a great example! I used four dies on this Autumn Thank U.

Expressions Thinlits HC
Tips: when using thinlit "word" dies, place waxed paper between the cardstock and thinlit so it releases easily. To attach thinlit "words" use tiny drops of Tombow Liquid Glue applied with a toothpick.

Expressions Thinlits Dies #132171  $24.95

Big Shot Die Cutting Machine #133439  $99.95

My Daughter's Wedding Photo Book

Katie's Wedding bk-002
This is the cover of our youngest daughter's 8.5X11" Wedding Photo Book that I created with MY DIGITAL STUDIO. Their wedding colors were Black & White with a touch of Razzleberry.

Katie's Wedding bk-025
This is a sample page showing how I dialed down the impact of the Razzleberry to make a very pale page color. I also changed the photo from Rectangular to Oval with a mat. I'm NOT "techie!" So if I can do these wonderful photo books, so can you! Click HERE for a FREE 30-day Trial of MY DIGITAL STUDIO!

Photo Books

2013-09-15 001 008
I re-made my bulky, stained, 41 year old Wedding Album into a slim, sleek 8X8" Photo Book using Stampin' Up!'s MY DIGITAL STUDIO!! It contains exactly the same photos, but LOOK at the difference!

D&N wedding bk-002
This is the cover of my personal Wedding Photo Book.

D&N wedding bk-012
This is a sample page showing our ceremony. The page is white with a very soft Medallion as a layer behind all photos. The longest part of creating this book was scanning the photos. Did you know you can get a FREE 30-day trial of Stampin' Up!'s MY DIGITAL STUDIO? Click HERE and give it a try!
