My Newest Card

I just finished this card in time for a birthday in February.  I used the Saturday Sketch for January for the Michael Strong group.  I also tried to follow Nicol Magouirk ideas on how to photograph your cards and LayOuts for the web.  This was a Webinar offered by Lain Ehmann.  Really a great Webinar and I learned lots.

The finished card.  And like Nicol suggested to put some of the used supplies with the picture to make it more attractive.

A close up of the stamp I used on the base card.  I used versamark to stamp the image.  The flowers I made by colouring some white card stock and punch them out.  Applied Glossy Accents to give it a 'button' look.

Close up of the largest tulip.  I used Sakura pens to colour the image and then highlighted the black lines with a glitter Sakura pen.

Time for another LayOut

This layout is called SC47 and is a challenge put on by Soul Scrappers.  We had to work from a sketch but I first was able to make a template in PSE and after I created the LO.  Pictures are my own and the paper and embellishments are from Donna's Digital Designs called Walk in the Woods.
Enjoy!

My first digital scrapbook page with PSE

After posting my sunset photos on my 'camera' blog I decided to use the January sketch for the Scrap Happy group to make a digital scrap page.  I am pleased with the way it turned out and love the colours.
Thank you for checking this page out and also my other blog with the full photos of the sunset.
