Scrapbooking your Scrapbook...

sounds weird, but I have been scanning my layouts, and then loading them up to shutterfly.com and blurb.com and printing out my album and giving them as gifts. Currently I am working on my sons first year album. I only have a few pages scanned, but I am very excited for everyone to be getting his book as a gift.. this is a great idea and I am so glad that I found out about this...

Wedding Card..

So usually when I got to make a card, i already have an image in mind, mainly because I know the person well or well enough to know what he or she would like.. this come like this rapidly, but this card, it took me forever to pick just paper out.

This is a wedding card for friends of my boyfriend, and finally I was going thru my huge stock of paper, and found the perfect piece, its simply called Love Birds... that sounds pretty appropriate. Then when I started stamping the sentiment, I didnt have the right color lavender, it was either to pink or to purple.. so I settled on the dark brown, and I think that it turned out nice. I will probably add some ribbon to it, just to give it a bit more flare.

Choosing Color

nearly every day I am working on something new, a card, a layout, a gift album, and I am so picking with my colors, i will put off a project til I can get to the store to find that perfect color match.. anyone else out there that can confirm this ?? I am sure there are... Just makes me laugh sometimes that I simple card will take me sometimes an hour to make LOL Right now I'm working on a wedding card.. the perfect paper, its not quite pink, not quite lavender, and i dont have any stamp ink that will match or even go with the flow... so what do I do, I use dark brown, because that is also in the paper... and it works.. I hope to finish the card sometime soon, the wedding is Saturday, August 5th, 2009... today is monday, we will see what happens. I have also been known to change the whole project and make an entirely new card...
