New Card Made with Sherri Baldy Stamp

I am at awe at the creations out there. I have a few favorite people I visit daily to see what they are doing. I now got into taking card making up a notch and try my hand at digis. Sherri Baldy has some really cute images that are perfect for cards and coloring with Copics (or whatever you use). Here is the card I made with the inspiration from none other than The Hoosier Stamper. I made it for a challenge but after seeing what the other cards look like, well....they are way out of my league so I won't be entering it.

 Update: I did enter it in the challenge after all. I made it for 2 shades of blue (Besties Challenge).

New Page Added to Blizzard Album & I Could Cry

I just discovered it today and I am so upset I could just cry.

The thought of all the work to take down all my shelves and fix this wall is mind blowing. That don't even include the painting. If you remember I just did this room and got it painted and the shelves up. To top it off, I won't have a scrap room while all this work is going on.....again.

Blizzard Charolette (AKA Nemo)

We got hit with a sizable blizzard on Sat and Sun. I managed to scrap some of my pictures.

Breast Cancer Card

I made this card for Card Lifters (Fiskateers) as a lift. Diane did  a pink card for Breast Cancer Awareness. Her card was a big heart with a banner going across and sentiments which I lifted the theme of (naturally the color is pink). This is what I came up with which is really a lift of a wonderful card maker that I wish I had even an once of her talent. She is Leah Ann Gast better known as The Hoosier Stamper. Take a look at her work. Oh my gosh! She will blow you away, at least she did me.

Pages About Me

I was going through my books and realized I hardly have any pictures about me. If anything happened to me right now, my grandchildren would not know me any better after looking at my books than they do now. Sure, they would know that family means a lot to me and stuff like that but I mean about "me". I can tell you through experience by the time they are adults, they wouldn't really even remember what I look like. So I am doing pages about me to put in the book. Through the year I will add more and each one will have some little tid-bit of information about me. It may be what I like, don't like, favorite color, favorite book, that sort of thing. Might even be my thoughts at that particular moment. Any ways, I have my first two pages of "me'. I started the first page for Liftateers but then decided this is what I was going to do so I added and changed some things so now here is my two page layout of me.

Playing with Masks and Layers in Photoshop Elements

I was playing today with my Photoshop Elements and  I was trying to do a blending but I don't have the right photos for it (bright blue isn't quite right) plus he is at the edges of the photo so I ended up with just a story and page. I didn't have anything to embellish it with (nothing in PSE seemed to go) so I just used some embellishments from kits I had in My Memories. I like the way it came out but still can't wait to do some blendings. Maybe I can get some good pictures this week and give it a try on the weekend.
