Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 41

Ok so I love how this turned out. I wasn't sure at first, but then once I added the greeting it just brought it all together! I love creating cards digitally! All I have to do is print it out on some nice Stampin Up Whisper White cardstock, fold it and I have a custom card that looks like it was printed at the store! Of course I add my greeting on the inside, and something on the back to let them know it was handmade. I have been running into the problem lately that people don't believe I made it...does that ever happen to you? So if I don't mark on there that I made it they assume it is store bought! So I always try to personalize it somehow so there is no way I could have purchased it, it's the only way they believe me!

1 more winter quick page

Yes I know I said I was done with the winter pages...and I am...but this one was hidden and had been made before I said I was done, so technically I am still done with winter pages :) Last one I have for now on winter. What do you want to see next? Leave a comment on what you are looking for and I will give you a special discount when I make it!

1st day of preschool

Zach had his first day of preschool about 2 weeks ago...of course that meant I had to scrap it! I am LOVING this digital scrapbooking. I am able to keep up with events as they happen, and my desk never gets messy! For those of you who haven't tried it yet I say give it a go...you might be surprised. And it is very freeing creatively when you aren't worried about running out of that perfect paper! Of course I made the 2 page spread into a quick page for you too...I know only a few people will be able to use such a specific page, but thought I would offer it anyway!

Happy valentine's Day

Here is the Valentine I sent out to family and friends this year. Yep I send out Valentines :) Who doesn't love getting some fun mail every now and then. This would be way better than getting a bill or junk right? Hope you all had a splendid Valentine's Day. I did, I got to spend it at home with my 3 favorite boys :)

Zach birthday pages

I have gotten the title page for Zach's 4 year album and his pirate birthday party all scrapped! The great thing about the title page is that I can change out just the photos and the title, even change the colors slightly and I can make it the title page for his 1, 2 and 3 year albums too! Digital is great for that kind of thing! Same for Josh..I can make a page for him and then just sway out the pictures and use the same page in Zach's album....no extra time creating it!

new quick pages

Sorry I haven't posted since Tuesday! I have been working on my goal of getting caught up to date with scrapbooking. It is my year long goal, I broke it down into about 12 pages each month and that should do it! I will post the finished pages tomorrow for you to see. Here are 2 new quick pages...I made them before I swore off making any more for winter!

fruit quick pages

I have a love of fruit themed stamps and scrapbooking papers! I love coming up with fruit-y themed titles too! If I had a little girl she would always be wearing, strawberry and cherry cholthes too! So maybe you have some fun pictures to go in these pages, maybe not..but I sure had fun making them! Oh and I have a GREAT picture of Zach at 5 months old chowing down on some watermelon, so that is what I will be using this page for!

I was invited to play along with the MIdnight Sketch Challege. I am glad I checked it out...it's nice to get some fun sketches to get your creativity flowing...oh and winning prizes for your work isn't so bad either! Anyway here is my submission. I combined digital scrapbooking with card making and made a cute valentine's Day card with my baby's photo on it. Who wouldn't love getting that smiling face in the mail? This was for MMSC39.

Here is another one I did for this weeks challenge...more traditional card style,,except digital :) Just having fun with the sketches. Thanks for visiting.
