monday...ODBD Sunshine cards

Happy Monday! To cheer you up today I thought I'd share with you a Sunshine card and some Project Life cards and embellies I made!


ODBD Products: Sunburst Background Die, Layered Lacey Square Die, Hello Sunshine

I wanted to create a cream monochromatic card and this is what I came up with! I love this new gorgeous Sunburst Background Die and it's perfect for monochromatic cards! I added a bit of ribbon under the popped up sentiment and sun (which I added Stickles) and called it done! It was one of my fastest cards up to date but one of my favorite as well!

Here's a close up of it:



I also made some Project Life cards and embellies for my son's album:

These were quick and simple but so happy and cheery! I can't wait to add them to his baby album!

Thank you for stopping by my blog! Have a great week!

I created these two journaling blocks for the Project 365 and wanted to share with you.

New Project for 2009: Project 365

I have a new project planned for 2009. Have you heard of Becky H.'s project 365? She has come up with a new kit which will allow you to take a picture a day, journal about it and scrapbook it. The kit will be on sale starting on Jan. 1 for under $40. I think that it is a good deal for non scrapbookers. For scrapbookers like me, however, making my own is the best alternative. The concept is not so hard: one double layout arranged so that 7 pictures and 7 journaling blocks fit.

I came up with a few sketches of my own as well as my interpretation of Becky's.






I also have my first two weeks of January pre made already.
Since the year starts on a Thursday, I used the left side of the double layout for my new year's resolutions.

This is, more or less, Becky H.'s idea of the layout. I made my pictures smaller (3"x5") than hers (4"x6") since I do want some of my pattern paper to show.

I have a thread on a website on scrapbook.com to help each other through this challenge. If you want to check it out and join, you are more than welcome! :)

Remember that the Special Auction that I have listed on eBay to help pay for scrapbooks for the little girl's family ends tomorrow. Here's a link to the auction if you need it:


Ok, signing off for now.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
