We have been in the process of traveling from our Winter home in Arizona to our Summer destination in Colorado and I haven't been doing a lot of crafting.  I hope to get busy soon.  I have done some playing around with more digital scrappbooking and Club Scrap had a great new kit called "Expressions" and I thought a photo from when we got married 9 yrs ago might look good with this paper.....I also played with a Quick Drop template from the Club Scrap Blossoms kit for a photo that I took last summer of some flowers in Winter Park, CO.  I hope you enjoy and I will get back to my crafting soon.

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to your comments :)

Try That Technique - Warhol 1

I'm a bit late in posting this week......this card is from the Warhol 1 Technique from the Feb 05 issues of Pat Huntoon's Technique Junkies newsletter.  Check out her card and special offer for this newsletter on the Design Junkies blog...for this card I used some card stock I've had in my stash for a while and stamps from River City Rubber Works.  I hope you enjoy :)

My new scrapbook technique

I am finally getting started in digital scrapbooking and made this  from Club Scrap's new "Blossom" kit.  The little "blossom" is my 3 yr old granddaughter Cheryl Ann.  She's an absolute delight and I love her eyes in this.

This one uses the Henna kit - also from Club Scrap.  Same wonderful little girl - she was having a blast that day

And this one uses some photos I took of some beautiful cactus blooms here in AZ

Another "Faux Designer Paper" Card

I liked the first card so well, that I made this card.  Didn't have the right stamp for Mother's day but wrote a message on the inside to send to my husband's mother.......Papers and primary image are club scrap...flower stamps from another set I have.  Ribbon and flowers from stash.

Try That Technique Thursday

This week Beth and I have chosen the "Faux Designer Paper" technique from the Dec 08 Newsletter and this is my take on this.

All papers and stamps are from Club Scrap.  Ribbons and pearls from stash.

Be sure to check out Beth's blog to see what she has created today and take part in Pat's Challenge from Technique Junkies.
