November Stamp Club - Pick a Petal

This month we used the Pick a Petal stamp set to make 5 different cards. Here they are! All of these cards are CASEd from images I found on splitcoaststampers.com. All of them but one were done by multiple people so I do not have one specific person to credit. The black and white flower I need to go back and try to find whose it was. I wrote down her screen name and now can't find it. I will update the post when I have the information. Thanks!

Baby Announcement 1

Before our new son, Canden, was born I started designing birth announcements using My Digital Studio. I prepared one for a girl and one for a boy since we didn't know what we were having yet. This card was created in the 5x7 size using elements and papers from the Rock-a-bye kit.

I have since decided to just order from an online site and not use these purely for cost reasons. I spent a little more on Christmas cards then I had planned and decided to save a little bit of money by purchasing a pre-designed card. Here is the Girl announcement and I will post the Boy announcement tomorrow.

2009 Christmas Card

I finally finished designing our Christmas cards and am so happy with how they turned out. I originally designed this card using My Digital Studio, but the company I ordered through had slightly different dimensions that I had to follow, so I recreated it in Adobe Photoshop using the MDS elements. Here is the final image that I used to order our cards. All papers and elements are from the Christmas Jingle Kit.

Holiday Glow Art Sale & Show

Just to put a little bug in your ears - if you are in the Grand Forks area and are looking for someplace to do your holiday shopping on December 4 and 5, have I got an idea for you. From 5-9pm each day you can travel around between 12 artists' homes and view and purchase their art work. There will be 15 artists total (me included!) and there will be everything from Stained Glass to Pottery to Painting and more! Nothing says I love you like a handmade gift for the holidays!

Butterfly Wall Art

I have seen many people do these butterfly art pieces to hang on their walls. I decided it was time I try it out myself. I used the Martha Stewart butterfly punch and went through all my scrap papers of various brands to come up with this piece. I put it in a shadow box frame and popped the butterflies up using dimensionals. I am super excited with how it turned out.
