Welcome to day one of the Orange Blog Hop

Welcome to day one of the Orange Blog Hop where members of Fiskateers, a community sponsored by Fiskars, is sharing their passion for crafting! You should have arrived here from Lyn’s Thoughts. If you just happened to stumble upon this hop, please be sure to go back to The Fiskateers Blog  and start at the beginning.

I wanted to share with you my crafting scissors. We are all familiar with the ones we recieved when we became Fiskateers so I don't think I need to say much about them. We already know how great they are (and how everyone in our house knows to keep their hands off). Although I love mine I found myself needing to cut some small things and I love the Non-Stick Detail Scissors. They definitly earned a place in my scraproom. When I was picking these out I noticed another scissor there so a week later I went back and got the Micro-Tip. What great scissors these little things are. If you want to cut just a hair off of something, these are the scissors that will do it. I love these too. I am just kicking myself for not getting them sooner.

Now that you know what scissors I use on my projects, lets get to the projects.

For my project I did hybrid pages, keeping with our orange theme I did my Thanksgiving Pages from last year. I figured I should do them before Thanksgiving is here this year plus this is one holiday I tend to think of when using orange (Halloween being the other). My pictures are on a brownish mat and then mounted on an orange-ish background (that is the computer part done with My Memories Scrapbooking Software. Everything after that I did.) I took these pages and mounted them on white cardstock then my orange12x12 cardstock background pages. Each one is decorated using different items so I listed what I used below each picture.

One thing I need to add is that I am aware some of these are not stitched together perfectly. My paper is 12x12 but my scanner is not so each page you see is really four different scans stitched to make the one page which means I have four chances of throwing my page off by tilting a scan or not getting it just so. Any ways, as you can see I did mess some up slightly so I ask you to just look past these. My birthday is coming and hopefully I will get the new software I wanted....PSE 9 or 10. (Did you know they came out with a Photoshop 10?)

I hope you liked the pages I have done for day one of this hop. Of course I am sure you would like some candy too....and what candy it is...

My Memories software is so easy to use and has fantastic paper to choose from. Even though I used the same paper on all my backgrounds there are so many to choose from. I like using this for hybrid pages (like the ones I showed you) but there is so much more than can be done using it. Check it out for yourself. I hope you like what you see because one lucky person taking this hop will be winning their own My Memories Suite.
