Marry Me - Bridal Shower Drawer Box

Good Morning Everyone!

I have three Weddings and a Bridal Shower to attend between now and November, so I'm finally starting to make the cards for them.  The first one I completed is for my brothers fiance's Bridal Shower.  It is a Drawer Box with an Easel Card on the top.  I'm going to put little marriage inspiration sayings in each drawer (there are four drawers) along with a gift card in each.  I used a tutorial from the LaLa Land Blog by Nicole Zarra to make the box.  You can find the tutorial HERE.

I have used a Saturated Canary Digital called Marry Me and this project fits the requirements for the Saturated Canary Challenge #26...B's.  I needed to use at least two items that starts with B...my items are Bride, Butterflies, Box and Bows.

Here it is!  I hope you like it...

Kaelyn's First 5 Years 01/2009

Good Morning Everyone!

Today I finished a second page for my Granddaughter Kaelyn's Shutterfly book.  Only sixteen more to go...

This layout is about our family vacation to Disney World in Orlando Florida.  Grandpa set up a special date for Kaelyn to be transformed into any Disney Princess she wanted.  She picked Bell from Beauty and the Beast.  She was so excited to have it done until the Disney lady started working on her.  See the top circle...that's her evil eye she was using the whole time!!!  She just didn't like that lady touching her at all but...she ended up having her nails, makeup and hair done and was very, very happy when it was all finished!  She looked sooooo cute, just like a Princess!

Enjoy...

My Digital Layout Recipe:
     I started with a Layers template by Darcy Baldwin at Sweet Shoppe Designs.  Then added papers and elements from the "These Days" collection by Kristin Barrow also from Sweet Shoppe Designs.
I added styles to the Princess Kaelyn and Quote box.  Drop Shadows were added to everything too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kaelyn's First 5 Years 12/2008

Good Morning!  Today I am going to share something new...

For years, before I started stamping and making cards, I worked on Digital Scrapbooking. I found a web store called Scrap Girls (find here) and was hooked! They have the best tutorials and lots of fabulous papers, elements, fonts, styles...well you get the point!  Then I started finding more web stores for digital scrapbooking products, A Cherry on Top (find here), Sweet Shoppe Designs (find here), Shabby Princess (find here) and Scrapbook Elements (find here).  These were my favorite places to shop but there are so many more you can find now.  It became my passion for many years, yes I was obsessed and I now own thousands of digital products!  I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop for scrapbooking and the rest is history...haha

About two or maybe three years ago I started a Shutterfly (find here) book for my Granddaughter Kaelyn.  It was supposed to contain a scrapbook page for each month of her first five years!  Well I never finished it because I started making cards instead of spending time on Kaelyn's book...so today I decided to get back to work on it so I can give it to her for Christmas this year.  I have 18 pages to go to be finished.

 Here is the one I completed today.  The layout design is a pre-made design called Winter Cheer by Lliella Designs at Sweet Shoppe Designs. All I had to do to this one was add the photos, some text on the round tag, add a few more embellishments and some journaling. This was a super easy one to get me started again!

Enjoy!

My Digital Layout Recipe:
     Winter Cheer Quick Page Set by Lliella Designs at Sweet Shoppe Designs
     Fonts - Old English Text, LD Garbo and LD Flutter
     Additional Embellishments - White Frame, Buttons, Pink and Silver Flower, Present and Leaves
          which all came from the Digital Set also called Winter Cheer by Lliella Designs.

Tri Fold Card

Good Morning!  I have a card today I made awhile back but I am just getting around to posting...

My inspiration came from a card made by Melissa Goodman that I had viewed online (sorry I can't remember which web site I was on).  I loved the shape of the card and thought using the Saturated Canary Digitals was a great idea!  The link to Saturated Canary Digitals is in my Favoriates on my side bar.

Enjoy!

Books and Bedhead

Hi Everyone!  I just returned from a trip with my wonderful husband to the beautiful city of Chicago, Illinois.  We did lots of sightseeing, ate great food and both gained a few pounds...LOL.  We also went to two Giants vs Cubs baseball games...our team lost 1 and won 1!  Go Giants!!!!  We only used Chicago's public transportation which I was a little afraid of to begin with.  We usually always rent a car when we travel but my husband decided we didn't need one this time and he was right!  Their subway train system, they call the L, the buses and the taxi's were super easy to use.  The hotel was fabulous...we stayed in a beautiful suite at the Water Tower which is the same place that Oprah Winfrey owns the top two floors and there is a huge shopping mall under it!!!  We had such a wonderful time there!!!  We will definitely visit that great city again!

Anyway... today I have a new card to show you.  I finished it before we left so I would have something to post when I returned.  I bought a new digital from Saturated Canary (see sidebar favorites).  She is so cute...I do a lot of reading in bed before going to sleep at night.  I'm always leaning back on my favorite pillow so I really could relate to the photo (I'm not that cute though...LOL).  I made this card using the Sweet Threads paper pad from Basic Grey.  I really love all the beautiful colors!

Here it is...I sure hope you like it!
