Blogger's Challenge 55


I have been very bad and have not participated in the Blogger's Challenge in the last few weeks. Life got hectic and I got so tired that all i really wanted to do is just veg out in front of the tv. LOL! But i missed being creative so i finally was able to make a card. For this week's blogger's challenge we had to create something using bugs and insects. Well at first i thought i did not have any stamps with bugs and insects and i remembered that i had the whimsical set but then i remembered that my Very Punny set had a ladybug and since i have not inked this set i would use it. It is a very simple card and sometimes i like cards that take about 15 minutes to put together. I thought of this layout at work so all i had to do was just come home and make the layout into a real card. I think i might need to do this more often. The next few weeks is going to be a little crazy since i have to pack and get ready to move into my two bedroom apartment which means ... I AM GOING TO HAVE A CRAFT ROOM ... and can you tell that i am so excited!!! I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

My first digital scrapbook page!

Hi everyone!!!! So today i did my very first digital scrapbook page. I have really slacked in the scrapbooking department and i wanted to get back into it. At first i was a little hesitant about digital scrapbooking and then i realized i spend the majority of the time on a computer so i might as well try out this digital scrapbooking. So i bought a program from Creative Memories a few months ago and I have FINALLY finished a page. I found some free fonts and a website that has a few free digital packs and viola! The great thing about digital is that you can use the paper and embelishments over and over again, if you make a mistake ... just start over and the only mess you'll make is leaving your laptop/computer out. The only downfall is ... the cost to print. It can cost anywhere from $4.99 to $7.99 per page. But if digital scrapbooking will get me to scrapbook more then the price is worth it :c) So now i am going to close and start on a new page!!! My goal is to do 1-2 pages a week ... gotta start slow! I hope you all have a week!!!
