Party This Way

kchowanec — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:17:03 +0000

This past weekend I held my first annual Birthday Bash! We had so much fun making 10 different birthday cards! I tried to create cards that could be used for kids and adults and I thought there was a pretty good mix. I am going to share several of the cards with you over the next few days so stay tuned! I found the layout for this card online while surfing the web. This is one of the cards that we made using the Party This Way stamp set. Did you know that this is one of the stamp sets you can choose for FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog, which by the way is ending this Saturday, so don’t miss out! You can check out the Sale-A-Bration catalog HERE. The colors on this card are Real Red, Pacific Point, Old Olive, and Chocolate Chip. The card base is Crumb Cake and whisper white. I actually like the card so much I was thinking about adapting it for my Son’s birthday invitations. What do you think? I hope you enjoyed my card today and thanks for stopping by!

Embossed Roses

I made this card using the Manhattan Flower embossing folder from SU! and my Big Shot. I actually got the idea from a demonstrator swap that I was in. I changed up the colors and used Pretty In Pink and Blush Blossom to sponge the flower after it was embossed. I added some taffeta ribbon and a greeting and it was done! So quick and easy and it really looks like it could have taken a long time to make. I don’t know what I would do without my Big Shot!

My dear friends Stacey and Dan welcomed their second daughter to their family on August 24th! A big congratulations to them! I thought I would make a quick digipage using the paper and elements from the Express Yourself free download at the Shabby Shoppe. I really wanted to make a girl page and since my husband probably wouldn’t appreciate it if I put Tyler’s picture on this page I added a picture I had of the new baby.

A Digipage and apology

Okay so it kinda seemed like I fell off the face of the earth since I haven’t posted in months. Well we have, wait strike that I have, been very busy with planning the building of our new home. So anyways I got inspired to finally sit down and be creative. So here is the page I came up with.

Days with my soon to be two-year-old can be quite trying at times. Needless to say we were having a good day when I made this page. The caption says “Tyler I love your smile…it can light up a room! I love you!”. The paper and elements I used were a free download from the Shabby Princess called Express Yourself. Enjoy!

The Park

So I spent a little time making a new digipage tonight instead of packing for our trip to the Dells tomorrow like I had planned on doing. I have to admit that this is sort of addicting! I used a two pictures that we took at the park a few weeks ago with Tyler. The paper and elements I used are called Celebrate from the Shabby Princess. Enjoy!

249|400 So as I stated in my previous post, I am learning how to use Photoshop to make digital scrapbook pages. This is the first one that I designed. I used three pictures that were taken last October when Aron, Tyler, and I went to Holy Hill. The weather was beautiful that day and as you can see from the pictures the trees were beautiful as well. I just love the colors of fall!

My first post

I decided this would be an appropriate ‘first’ post. Yes, this is a picture of my blog banner. As I was deciding on a theme for my website I found some places that I could purchase blog banners, but since I am currently learning how to use Photoshop Aron decided that it would be a good learning experience for me to make my own banner. So I used some digital scrapbooking papers and elements that I downloaded free from www.rakscraps.com and made it. The paper and elements are called Momma-mia by KFredricks. Although it took me over an hour to finish I am happy with the final product.
