Design House Digital

I created this layout of Jordan and his agent pig using Gen Bursett’s Sweet Child of Mine collection and her Blueprint #1.  Journaling: We have been playing angry birds on the iTouch for a while now.  While out shopping the other day we found these angry birds and a pig.  When we were about to build a fort and throw the birds, you said NO! You told me that this pig was a good pig and an agent for the birds.

I have a tutorial: how to use words strips to make hybrid cards. There are several more cards in the tutorial, check it out :)

Hello friends! Welcome to Two Peas Tuesday, the Thursday afternoon version. ;)

I created a few hybrid cards this week with Laina Lamb’s die cutter shapes and I am positively smitten with the combination of her shapes and my October Afternoon paper pads. Their papers are so pretty and just right thickness for my silhouette.

love you*

commissary day

journaling:  I like to do our commissary shopping on Mondays, right at opening time.  We show up with our list, shopping bags and antibacterial wipes to disinfect the shopping carts.  Jordan is just about too big to ride in the cart, but I’m trying to hang on to that as long as possible.  On this particular day, we paid $361 for our groceries and tipped our bagger $5 for carrying them out to the car.  Mon 1.10.11

@ the car wash

journaling: it’s our after commissary routine.  For $8 we drive into the car wash, watch the rainbow bubbles, the water droplets run and the red and blue thingies whirl around.  We love the smell of the soap and the clean car.

Scientist Jordan or Look Mom Chronicles, vol 2

I loved all the little bits and papers in the sincerely kit. I had a hard time deciding what to use, so full! So Jordan came to me and said, Mom, I want to wear my scientist shirt… and then we popped the lenses out of the 3d glasses and voila, my little scientist. He wore this all day long even out of the house. completely serious. love that kid!

Lava

journaling:  it was a pretty hot day out on the lava field and truthfully, if i had known it was a hike across the lava field and not a paved walkway, I probably would not have brought the boys on this hike.  However, it was beautiful and I am glad we did it.  I also loved seeing my happy green cons on the lava.  aug 2010

I was lucky enough to be one of the CT members to work with the featured kit this week and my cards were on the Digital Designer’s blog for Erica’s Kit Smitten post.

You Suck

I could not resist the elements in Edeline’s Scary Boo kit and came up with a few hybrid Halloween cards. This one is my very favorite. Nothing like a little tongue in cheek passive aggressive vampire humor to make me smile ;)

Luggage Tag

School Daze by Shelley Castillo

This super cute school themed paper pack was just right for a school bag tag. I printed the papers on Matte Photo Paper, die cut the notebook paper with a Paper Trey Ink Die and added my name with some Doodlebug stickers. I laminated the whole thing and added some ribbon and a button to finish it off.

Airshow

If you missed it, you can see more pictures from the airshow here. I used Edeline Marta’s Capture Moments kit to document our trip to the airshow this past weekend.  I love the little camera element and the graph paper clouds! :)

KIT SMITTEN- Hybrid Butterfly Frame

Beautiful Butterflies by Laina Lamb

I was lucky enough to work with Laina’s super cute Butterfly shapes to create this hybrid framed project.  I cut these older American Crafts Craft Fair Papers and used their this to that foam dots to put it together.  I hand sewed some floss for a pretty pink border. :)

a few weeks ago I downloaded this ice cream kit and made some cards.  I also printed some plain scoops to color with my copic markers.  These colorful scoops have been sitting on my paper cutter for a few weeks waiting to be put together.  I am so in love with ROYGBIV, are you?

• Each scoop is printed in black on Neenah Solar white cardstock

• hand cut and adhered with pop dots

swim time digital layout

Journaling:   We finally had a day where it was sunny and we were all healthy so we headed down to the community pool.  We had a fun time splashing around.  4 July 2010.

I slightly modified Jen’s template and recolored Wilna’s alphas.  Gotta love scrapping cell phone pics.  Until I can get a waterproof camera solution, this is the best it’s going to get… ;)

This first hybrid card uses Laina Lamb’s Digi Die Cut Files, Borderlines 3.  I cut 3 strips out of American Crafts Letterbox Paper.  I glued it to the card base, added some handstitching with bakers twine and topped it off with a die cut cork butterfly and a piece of AC flair. :)

Here is another card using Laina’s digi Die Cut files, Favorite Frames.

This next hybrid card uses Holly Jones’ Digital Flower Shower Stickers. How could I possibly resist that cloud/rain? You know me, I couldn’t!

My last two cards for this week use Vinnie’s Military Guy Kit, I love the papers and elements and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to make some cards for Operation Write Home.  I still want to make more Thank You Hero Cards with this kit.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed these cards :)
