Been a LOOONNNNNGGGG time!

It's has been a few weeks since I was able to post last. I've been busy with some great projects though! Here is just a sampling of what I've been up to.

I made this scrapbook page at my Stampin Up Club. The theme, of course, was Valentine's Day. I really liked this layout. Made it easy to put several shots on one page - and it was super easy to put together!

This one I made using an svg from the great Paulo. I am always so amazed at what he is able to create! The picture doesn't show it very well, but I was able to use some Glamour Glitter on ScorTape to fill in the stars and letters. The edges were inked too (though they look more smudged here!) This poster hung on the wall at church for our "Secret Sister" event in February.

This card was a request from DH for his brother's birthday. Pretty simple, but effective. I used the  PDDU and George cartridges to put this one together.


This is my first attempt at a vinyl image for the wall. My sweet little niece said she wanted something Ariel for her birthday. I made it as big as I could - and the piecing was harder than I thought it would be - but it worked! I used the "Dreams Come True" cartridge for this one.

My daughter and I spent some time at a Digital Storytelling Workshop too. Two days of planning, writing, scanning, editing, recording... It was a great - and very emotional - experience! I was super excited to learn how to do this as I could see so many uses for sharing stories like this. Family History comes to mind first... Here she is getting help from one of the teachers.

I was able to put some wall vinyl together for a friend too. She had requested these...

I'm still playing around with my new Photoshop Elements program, but hope to be creating more soon! :)
