Goofy and Pluto

Today at For Fun Challenges we are asking you to make a project that fits the theme: Cat or Dog. I decided to make a layout since my goal is to scrap at least one layout a month. Last year with getting on card making Design Teams I only completed three layouts so I didn’t want to do that again this year! But I am already behind since it is March! Oh well, at least I’m trying.

It didn’t say the dogs had to be real….and Goofy and Pluto are dogs so I went with it! You know me I have to be different. As the journaling says the colors are not the typical Goofy colors because he was in the Animal Kingdom. I was bummed as I had bought traditional Goofy embellishments and paper. Oh well, I still like how these colors worked together so nicely. It’s a simple layout but I like it.

Hope you will play with us this week and make a project featuring a cat or dog! You can make any project as long as it fits the theme!

Clear Dollar Stamps Day 3 of New Product Parade!!

Welcome to Day 3 of the Clear Dollar Stamps Product Parade!  This is the time where the DT shows you the some different ways to use the newest releases from Clear Dollar Stamps.  The best part about it all is that, you can order everything RIGHT NOW!  You don’t have to wait!

I will be only showing one set but if you want to see the ALL of the amazing new stamps go to their blog Clearly iStamp.

My nephew Brogan

The set I’m going to show you is Calendar Tags Clear Acrylic Stamps   As you can see from my two samples how versatile this set can be. It is not only perfect for cards and scrapbook pages but Cassie used it to make a calendar tin.…check it out totally cool.

This was perfect for me to make my invitations to my Pumpkin Carving Party. I like to know things in advance so I can plan and think everyone is just like me! So this was a perfect way of sending out the invitations at the beginning of October and letting people know “SAVE THE DATE”. And it has worked because I already have a couple RSVP’s!!

I actually had two ideas in my head for how to use this on a scrapbook page but only had time for one. This is my adorable nephew Brogan (our close friends had twins in May!!) I wish I had a scrap page of me like this as a baby so I wanted to make sure they had one. Isn’t it fun to watch babies grow!! Oh and that photo with the hat is just too adorable!

Like I said the possibilities with this stamp set are endless!

For fun Challenge 08/17/2011

CHALLENGES:

1) For Fun Challenge- This week we are having a scrap page challenge. That’s it just make a scrap page. I’m sure you have a page that is sitting on your desk just waiting to be finished or a photo you want to scrap but haven’t had the time (that was me!!). This was the push I needed to take a break from the cards and make a scrap page. Which was refreshing since it has been 6 months since I made a page.

2) Lasting Memories Layout Challenge - TRY SOMETHING NEW! This is my first scrapbook page using a digital stamp. I think I have found a new way to add embellishments to my page. This was totally easy and fun.

Friends of ours had twins (Honor and Brogan) in May so my husband and I instantly became Aunt and Uncle again. They are adorable and we love taking photos of them so I’m sure there will be plenty of layouts done with them as the subject!! The cute fairy on there is a digital stamp by Wee Stamps. I colored it in using photo shop as I didn’t have time to use markers and I wanted it to look like an embellishment. My husband said he would teach me about shadows and other neat effects Photoshop can do but I’m a little scared to try that stuff!!

This was inspired by a Pagemap sketch but I can’t find it now to state which Pagemaps it is from but if I find it  I will update my post.

Alphabet Challenge Blog - N is for Navy plus one color

I thought this image was so cute that I decided to make it into a card. I wanted to do the Alphabet Challenge so I decided I would use the fairy image and made it orange and blue! The image was colored in Photoshop. I hope that even with a little bit of cream color that it fits the challenge since the main colors are Navy blue and Orange. I also think this makes a cute birthday card so I will add a Birthday sentiment to the inside.

CHALLENGES:

1) Alphabet Challenge Blog – N is for Navy plus one other color. Our challenge for you this week is  N for Navy Blue Plus One Other Colour.  These are the 2 main colours we want to see on your work, not just a little bit used in with lots of other colours!  Hopefully I have made the instructions clear as there was some confusion on the last colour theme we did.

2) August Card Challenge @ www.scrapbook.com – Photo Inspiration category. I took inspiration from the orange and blue combo with white flowers.

3) A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge #162 – Happy Birthday. I will put a birthday sentiment inside the card.
