Another invite

2009-03-20T20:55:00.002-04:00

This is an invite for a combination Easter and birthday party for a girl who absolutely loves Aurora. What better way to show that than have Aurora picking Easter eggs. The girl's reaction when she saw it ... "Awesome. This is for my party!"

This was an invite for a combination East

two new invitations

2009-03-11T11:22:00.003-04:00

This is a unique take on an engagament invitation. This couple just loves football so what better theme than a "tailgate" style party for their engagement party. The front of the invitation was made to look like the cover of a magazine. The back was written in a newspaper column-style with how they met, how he proposed and the information for the party.

This is the invitation for my godson's 6th birthday. I paired these up with long red envelopes for the perfect Spiderman look.

Busy Busy

2008-01-25T00:48:00.000-05:00

It has been forever since the last time I posted. I was busy over the holidays making cards for clients. I am so excited to be working on my friend's parents' 25th anniversary book. She is planning them a surprise party and has compiled pictures of each of those 25 years to make a scrapbook. It is truly admirable to see a couple grow together as they have. I can only hope one day I will live through the same experience.

On another note, I just got a brand new computer and finally installed a trial version of Photoshop Elements while I wait for my very own copy (Valentine's gift from my boyfriend ::shhh::). I made these two pages just a couple of hours ago:

Update

2007-11-16T22:54:00.001-05:00

Its been forever since I've posted. School has been keeping me quite busy. I am a psychology doctoral student and I just started seeing clients this semester. I am so excited, but very overwhelmed at the same time.

In my spare time I've been digi scrapping away. It has become somewhat of an obsession. I designed my first invitations for someone. A total of 55 and 30 thank you cards. The two thank you cards are below. (I'll add the invitation later when I can erase some of the information). She seemed to be quite satisfied and said she would spread the word to her friends who also have kids.

Cant wait to start working on some stuff for Christmas now.

2007-08-21T15:14:00.001-04:00

My 4 year old godson started pre-K yesterday. He absolutely loved it; in his words, "it was great!". This week he's leaving at 11:30 rather than at 3:30 and when his mom went to pick him up today he didn't want to go home <-- a sure sign that he likes it. I wish I would have been there to snap some pictures of his first day =(

As long as he is happy, everything is A-Okay!

its been a while

2007-08-19T16:38:00.000-04:00

since I've posted, but I've been trying to enjoy the last few weeks of summer before school takes over my life. Last week, my boyfriend and I celebrated our 22 months together. Its incredible how fast time passes when you are having fun and truly love someone. I've also been catching up on my scrapbooking... here are a few LOs I've finished.

Dollar Tree enabler

2007-07-26T14:56:00.000-04:00

I found 7 packs of foam adhesive stickers. Just like the American Crafts ones, but in Miss Elizabeth's packaging and just $1 each. (I'm kind of convinced that they just change the packaging on the products in order to sell that at the dollar store, but just my theory.)

I got one of every style at the Dollar Tree in my area. So you may want to check If anyone finds other colors, let me know. I may go on a hunt.

back with tons of pictures

2007-07-17T23:03:00.000-04:00

hi all.

So I got back a few days ago, but Ive been busy scrapbooking. I am aiming for making a 12x12 digital book and getting it printed at Shutterfly. Ive got a few pages done, but lots to go. Over in the Dominican Republic, our hotel had a professional photographer with which you could schedule a 1 hour photo session. Well $300 later I got 80 pictures burned onto a CD (yup not in print!). I am so happy with them, even more because I wasn't even thinking of ever getting these pictures taken. Anyways I'm including a few of the LOs I've been working on these past couple of days.

Till next time.

I'll be back the 14th!

2007-07-06T12:57:00.000-04:00

Tonight I'll be going to the American Idol Summer Tour concert, which kicks off right here in South Florida. Then tomorrow morning I am off to the Dominican Republic to just lay in the sun and relax for a week. I'm sure I'll have LOTS of pictures to scrap when I get back.

2007-07-05T23:21:00.001-04:00

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and stayed safe with friends and family. It rained most of the afternoon here, but thankfully it cleared up in time for the fireworks. I captured some great shots of the fireworks (to be scrapped soon!). I decided to scrap the pictures digitally and this is the first LO. Two of the girls are my nieces, I'm the one with the all white shirt and the others are cousins.

P.S. I'm finally the proud owner of a crop-a-dile (a pink one).

GOOD NEWS!!!!

2007-07-04T09:12:00.000-04:00

I have been picked to design a new kit for a site that will be opening in late August / early September. They have picked 10 designers for their September kits and i am one of them. The site is going to be Fresh Pages Co. Their page is still not up, but Brianne (the owner) is keeping everyone updated on her blog www.bltlife.blogspot.com.

I cant wait! This is my first "designing" opportunity. Now if only I could get myself published lol

Welcome

2007-07-03T20:19:00.000-04:00

Hi all. This is my first post in my first ever blog. I am soooo excited. I hope to be able to post as often as possible and hope you all enjoy my postings as well.

I wanted to share a LO I completed recently (so you can get a feel for what my scrapbooking is like).

BTW, I'm sure you'll be seeing lots of LOs with this little fellow. He's my godson, who I love like the little brother I never had.

Look for many changes to my blog in the future, including the announcement of some great news (for me @ least!)
