Hello from California

By the time you are reading this - I'll be just getting ready to land in San Jose for a long over due visit with my California best friend.  I am lucky enough to have besties in a few different states.  It has been way too long since I have seen this friend - so I am SUPER excited!


Today, I thought I would share Tammy's birthday card with you.  You may remember my gushy message about her birthday being this last Saturday.  This is the card  I created for her.  This was my first time using the Swallowtail available in the spring mini.  Oh. My. Gosh.  Hello, new favorite.  :)  The colors for this card are Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant, and Baja Breeze.  This is one of the "sweet set" color combinations available at a moments notice with the Color Coach.  I stamped the butterfly onto whisper white cardstock and cut it out.  I then cut out another piece of cardstock the same size, and embossed it with the Cloudy Day folder from the spring catalog.  I love the look of the butterfly over the clouds.

I hope Monday is nice to you!

My Digital Studio Calendar

I need to start today's post with a very important message.  Today is the birthday of one of my dearest friends.  She is there when I need her, makes me laugh - and always has my back.  She is also a lot of the push behind my creativity.  She is always encouraging me to push just a little bit harder, and do just a little bit more.  I am not sure what I'd do without her.  Happy Birthday Tammy!  Hope your day is filled with joy!

I got an offer a week or so ago in my email from Vista Print, for a free calendar.  I immediately thought this would be a great opportunity to play around with the pre-done scrapbooking pages that are included in My Digital Studio.  Man, am I glad I tried it!!  Ladies those pages could not be much easier!  Everything is done for you, all you have to do is drag and drop your photos.  Most of the pages also include journaling boxes ready to type your memories into.  For this calendar, I simply deleted those boxes.

Here is one of my calendar pages.  This pages happens to be my baby brother, and my two kids.
(I love calling him my baby brother - even if he's taller than me.  LOL)
