2009 Calendar by Digi Dandy Designs

Wow! Has it really been almost a year since I started this blog and then let it sit here? 2008 was a tough year for me and I really didn't get much done in the way of scrapbooking or stamping. :-( I'm going to try and be better about it this year.

For now, I want to showcase a very talented lady's work that she did for me using her digital scrapbooking talents! I hired my friend, Kathi of Digi Dandy Designs to make me some calendar templates featuring some of my vacation pictures from when my husband, Leighton and I went to Wales. Well, I did have her include one picture from Stonehenge. It kind of went with the theme though since some of the stones are from the Preseli Mountains of West Wales. Actually, one of the calendar pictures showcases us at one of the blue stones at the base of the Preseli Mtns.

I actually hired Kathi to make two calendars for me... one showcasing my family (Laura's) pictures that I gave as Christmas gifts. The 2nd calendar was of our trip to Wales that I gave as gifts to Leighton's family. BTW, Leighton is from Wales and the pictures feature us visiting his family and the beautiful scenery of West Wales.

Another Clear Envelope Bragbook

Images (c) Stampin' Up!

Here's one that I made to match a Square Envelope Accordion Bragbook. I'm offering a workshop at the end of March teaching both of them.

Clear Envelope Bragbook

Images (c) Stampin' Up!

Here is my first attempt at making the Clear Envelope Bragbook that was a Wednesday turtorial from http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ in early February 2008. Everything used was from Stampin' Up! except for the blue flower and green buttons from a scrapbook store in Whittier called Scraparrazzi (I think I spelled that right).

I love this one because it is so easy to make and get out those pictures quickly. I will be making more for friends for vacations that we have done over the years...

This 1st attemp is going to be pictures of me over the years. Starting with the cover I have a picture of me from 2 years old. I use the Build a Brad to attact me. :-) The current pictures are just placeholders for now.

My first blog entry!

I've finally taken the 1st step in creating a blog!! It's about time I jumped on the bandwagon. I can't wait to start showcasing my scrapin' and stampin' work!! This should be an interesting journey.
