I was trying to work on finishing some of the pages that I am a bit behind on since our TV went out this week so I finally had the chance to sit down and pick out the pictures from the very many of Penelope’s first Christmas. Since for Easter I received the embossing stamps pads and powder, I thought I would play around with it and learn how it works, I liked it lots!! Looking back at the past pages I can’t believe how much she has grown over the year. I am pretty satisfied with how this page came out.
Well, I guess no one is too old to get Easter presents. This weekend I got these cool tools that some of them I don’t even know how to work just yet. Ok ladies I need some help here; I can’t exactly figure out these Cutter Bee Bugs work, does anyone have any suggestions? Also I received these little ink pads that do embossing and the powder but it looks like the Easter bunny left out the embossing tool. My husband thought that he had one here and he does we just can’t find it right now. So any suggestions on what I can use temporary? I thought about a blow dryer but I have not had the chance to try it just yet. So do you think that could work if not then where can I get a nice one for rather cheap and not to expansive I don’t know if I am going to like this? The pages in the back ground are Penelope’s Birthday page. It’s actually 4 pages there are 2 clear pages like transparently over the blue poc-a-doted paper. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter I will close with some pictures of Penelope’s easter. Enjoy she did!!
Before I was even thinking Scrapbooking I had to come up with just about 100 + wedding invitations for my wedding. My husband helped me make over 100 of these and my sister in law created the bride & groom back ground. I was going though some things tonight when I found this I had to share it with you guys. The background red paper and the bride and groom are on card stock. There is a transparent overlay on top of it, one that you would use for an over head. Then I punched the holes and tied it with ribbon. My colors for the wedding were red, white and pink, since Dustin proposed to me on February 12th, 2006 kind of around Valentines. If you read the invitation yes we planned a fabulist wedding in six months.
Looking back I wish that I had of. I could have at least a few books filed by now. When Penelope came along that’s when I started thinking how am I going to record her favorite moments. How and I going to show off my little girl all of my own baby pictures are still in a draw or box. That’s no way to remember what happened to you growing up. So then I was at Wal-Mart and my husband was looking at some magazines and I picked up the Scrapbooking ect. one and got thinking that maybe Scrapbooking is a great way to keep Penelope’s pictures together.
This is an Easter bunny and chick that could be a duck and a cat. The Chick came out really nice I found the directions to this in an e-mail from Scrapbooking.com. The bunny I came up with on my own. It not as cute I think I should have used some whiskers of some kind. I don’t know it may have ended up really looking like a cat then.
This page was done for fun but I also did it for the Green Challenge on Flickr: Scrap Card Making Group. It’s not a card but its defiantly GREEN and it’s made with things that I reused. The Challenge was to come up with ways of using house whole items that you are going to throw away and if you can use it on your project. Water bottles have cool textures maybe roll it in a stamp and use it as a print. Labels on packages are very nicely colored cut out things from the plastic. Mail outs, the junk mail sometimes has really pretty things on it maybe us it to cut stuff out of to. So when our very nice UPS guy gave Penelope her very own Thin Mint when he came to eat lunch one day. I tock that as my opportunity to make this page for her. I really did not think it was a Green page till I started it. I tock the box of Thin Mints and cut it up most of the materials where scraps of paper that I had I only purchased the big green paper in the background and the paper that I mated the pictures on, oh yeah and the ribbon. The Buttons belonged to my grandmother and was in her sowing box I have been keeping them for something now they have a new home.
So since I got my Wabcom Bamboo & Adobe Elements 6 Software I have been trying to learn how to work it. There are times that I just got so frustrated with it because I just didn’t understand it at all, since I was so used to working in the older Adobe Software. When I first begin I really at the time did not know what I would try first but I really liked the card that I made for my friend and I thought maybe I would try turning the picture that I tock of it into the header for here. I did cheat a little and save the file and go to my older computer and do it the way I know how on that one and then save it again and go back to the new adobe. I probably should not of done that but I don’t quite get the jiff of how this new Adobe works. In time I will probably LOVE it but until then I will have to take it one step at a time and learn what I can when I can. Hope you like it; maybe if I get sometime I will create the New Scraptastic Award too before the end of the month. I have no idea what I will start with on that one.
Another lovely blog award from my friend Andria at http://iona-rose.blogspot.com/.
This is how I did the back so that I could remember who this card came from.
This is a St. Patrick’s Day tag that I made for the ladies night at my husband Lodge. This was my first tag that I made. It’s not the greatest but I thought it was cute and I would share it with you guys. I put it together kind of fast I would have liked to do a little more and maybe not so big of a main cut on the front. If I have time I might make another one just to play with.
This award comes from my friend Karen Lee, at http://aplacetosharemystuff.blogspot.com/ A Place to Share my Stuff. She always has very nice things to say about my postings. Thank you Karen for stopping by and allowing me to pass on this award to some of my other friends that stops in to leave me comments. So I have looked everywhere for one of your pages addresses and I can't find it so I hope that you will probably comment and leave them here. These are my nominations for the 5 to recieve this award:
Since I got this new computer with Vista a lot of my creative design element programs don’t convert over. I even had my husband look at it to make sure I was doing it right and it was not just me. I have had these programs since 1998 it was time to upgrade. I use to us Adobe PhotoDeluxe 1.0, yes that is an old one but I liked it very much. Know I have jumped all the way to Adobe Elements 6 and I’m like wow what a deferent’s. I need help I don’t know how to work it very well any suggestions on where I can go to learn? I’m open for ideas I have looked on You Tube and that does have helpful information but I need more maybe even like how Apple has the classes on how to work things. I would not mind that, if you have ideas let me know I would like to hear how you like your Bamboo if you have one and how you learned about the Adobe solfware other then just playing around with it. I got mine for Graphic Design purposes since I make logos for customers.
