Birthday for me!

June 16, 2010 in
Wanted to share a few cards I received for my birthday last week. The first card is very special to me because it is the first card my husband has ever made for me!!!!!! I am so proud of him. Not bad for his first card ever, without instructions too! It was a complete surprise waiting on the kitchen table for me when I arrived home from work.


The second card is from my secret sister from Australia. Love the glitter! Lots of fun to receive good snail mail!

When I scrapbook I try to get as many 4x6 photos onto one or two pages as I can. I am a firm believer in letting the photos speak for themselves (maybe that is why I forget to journal!). For this trip I wanted to show where in Saskatchewan, Canada we were and also what the campground looked like. I used an official road map that came with all the travel info from the prairie province and scanned it to my computer. Then slightly modified it and printed it onto Very Vanilla card stock. The same was done with the campground map. I am still thinking about adding a brad to our campsite number and also onto the Provincial map so that others can tell where we were.


Supplies
Stamps: Pattern Pines (retired)
Ink: Handsome Hunter, Old Olive
Paper: Crumb Cake (or Kraft), Handsome Hunter, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, sticky strip, Big Shot with Timeless Type Alphabet

New Look!

June 10, 2010
How cool is this? Been debating for a long while what to do with this blog to make it look better. If I had My Digital Studio I might have created my own blog background, but tonight as I made my way to the Blogger Dashboard there is a new tool to modify the template! Oh the choices! So if you see a few changes and weird things going on the next while, just know that I am having fun with a new tool! And let me know what you think.

My plan tonight had been to create a project with new sneak peek items from the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalogue but stupid me, I left the UPS box under my desk at work! The horror!! And since my husband is at work there is no vehicle here for me to go rescue it! I just about cried, all that beautiful paper and ink just waiting to be used! Sigh, tomorrow...

Can across this card on Stampin' Pretty and it was a perfect fit for last months card class! I so love to case (copy and share everything).

The baby wipe technique is really cool! Place a folded baby wipe onto a plastic plate. Then add a few drops of reinker in different colours onto the baby wipe and make sure to get the colours to touch so that when you use it as a ink pad it will ink up the whole image. You should clean the stamp each time so that they colours won't mix and make a muddy colour.

Supplies
Stamps: I {Heart} Hearts, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Sanded Background
Ink: Close to Cocoa, Reinkers: Cameo Coral, Rose Red, Close to Cocoa
Paper: Cameo Coral, Rose Red, Close to Cocoa, Whisper Whites
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, baby wipe
