Scrapbook software...

It is crazy that it has been so long since I have last updated this blog...I am going to TRY and be better about it. I got consumed by Pinterest! It is the coolest thing ever! I have done a lot of crafting stuff I just haven't posted about it. Here is my attempt to catch up!

Addi's 4th Birthday thank you notes



Landon's 1st Birthday




Baby Shower Invite


Disney Schedule.....okay it is probably a little over the top but for our recent trip to Disney World we made a schedule.... that wasn't quite enough for me...I HAD to make it CUTE!! It is much more fun if it is cute! We (I suppose it is more like I) laminated it, attached maps to each park that were also laminated, punched a hole and put it on a single binder ring. This ring so conveniently attached to the stroller! Hot Dog!



So there is a little update....I have had a lot of fun with digital stuff lately! The My Memories Suite program is a lot of fun for making photo cards. I am not smart enough to figure out photoshop so it is a great alternative. There are tons and tons of free digital scrapbooking elements online so you just download them and start dragging and droppin! I can so handle that! And you can print them wherever you want to because you just save it as a pdf. I have printed them at Costco or Sams it is cheaper than there premade cards and way cuter and more personalized! Score!!

Fourth of July Project

Here is a little project that I did for a friend. We were invited to her house for a BBQ and wanted to give her a fun hostess gift. I put citronella tea lights with it so she could use them!

Trash to Treasure

With the news of me getting to be an auntie I have been looking all over for fun photo ideas for newborns. There are SO many of them. I only wish I had the photo skills to go with all the ideas that are jumping all around in my head. I am still going to try and every once and awhile one gets lucky! I am hoping to take a photo class to...we will see how that works out.

Anyway, back to the trash to treasure...I was driving to Target one night to pick up diapers and this was sitting by someones trash can....SCORE! I recovered it and made new tassels out of fringe. I can just see a cute little newborn laying on it! I would love to know what you think!!!

TREASURE???

Digital Scrapbooking

So I have been doing a little digital scrapbooking. I have tried a million programs and I finally found one that I like. I am not smart enough for photoshop but this one is working for me. The program is My Memories Suite 2. It works great with iphoto and all the free downloads that you can find. So that is good. I have realized that I can complete many more pages a lot quicker this way. Maybe I can actually keep up....probably not!

Here are a couple of the newest creations. Tell me what you think.....

I have made cards lately....

I just have been a BAD blogger!

Here are a few of the new ones.

A quick quick card I did for my stamping up group...
