I did it!

I created my very first online scrapbook! This was so cool and man could I see doing that for Christmas gifts! You create one book and then order several copies to give to everyone!

I made a book of our vacation to Washington DC this past August and basically you upload your photos to the site and then drag and drop there where you want them in the book. Then you click on the text and then hit edit and add your journaling by your photos.

So my book is done and next I want to try a calendar. Once I receive my book in the mail I will post some pictures here on the blog so make sure you keep checking back so you can see my finished project! I will keep you posted on the calendar as well because that would be a totally awesome Christmas gift! I believe you will be able to start making those on October 25th.

Oh Joy!

Yes, I am already preparing for Christmas! First the invitations a few posts ago and now I am working on decorations for our home. Julie Comstock sent me a package containing their new Christmas line, "Oh Joy." I love the wonderful colors and designs in these papers and love the fact they make the die cut sheets with the matching chipboard! If you want to see the line and coordinating embellishment pieces just pay a visit to http://www.cosmocricket.com/

So run out and get some of this great new Christmas line and start creating! Those fun chipboard pieces with matching die cuts make great ornaments, package decorations, and you can whip up your Christmas cards fast using them!

You guys did it!

Fiskars Halloween Fun!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today is a big online crop over on the Fiskateer site! I made a special project just for my Fiska-Friends which is pictured above. The treat sacks are for my daughter's halloween party at school and the candy dish next to it is for her Teachers. They deserve some special sweet treats as well! I used the Heidi Grace halloween line and threw in some of the Cloud 9 Halloween Fun as well! The lines mix very well together.

Oh, and don't forget to check the posts below this one because you can actually win the Heidi Grace Halloween stamps! Just follow the instructions and have fun!
