Boys & Trains!




My neighbor needed a birthday card for her great-grandson who loves trains.  I used the little train from Who's Your Valentine? I used bright colors and I embossed the circle with the square lattice embossing folder for some texture.

Thanks for looking!

My Digital Studio sketch

I made this layout using a sketch at My Digital Studio website. The photos were actually taken in April 2009. Digital scrapbooking is so much fun and I don't have a lot of stuff to put away after I finish a layout. Oops! Guess I am telling how lazy I am.  LOL
Thanks for looking!

Flight of the Butterfly


I haven't used this set very much and decided it needed a little ink. Created my own background paper with stamps from the Flight of the Butterfly set. I stamped melon mambo cardstock with elegant eggplant and punched out with the butterfly punch. Added some bling with Stampin' Up rhinestones on the body of butterfly and rhinestone brad on the ribbon.


Thanks for stopping by!

I haven't used this wondersul set very much and I need to remedy that.  There is so much you can do with Seasons of Friendship.

Thanks for looking,

Birthday card for Son-in-Law


I made this for my son-in-law's birthday early this month.  He really seemed to like it.  He told me Fall is his favorite season and also that they used to have pheasants on their farm when he was younger.  I have to say it is one of my favorites of the cards that I have made lately.

Thanks for looking!

October group card #3


I had a hard time deciding whether to use Day of Gratitude or French Foliage.  Day of Gratitude won out.  I really love this beautiful Autumn Spice Specialty DSP.  Wonderful texture and heavy weight make it a nice paper to work with.  And the coordinating colors are yummy!

Thanks for looking!

October group card #2


I had planned on sponging around the edges of the very vanilla panels, but forgot until after I had them glued down.  Later I decided that the paper was muted enough and that I rather liked the unsponged look.

Thanks for looking!
