Here's to beginning Christmas presents......

Well, I have officially started working on Christmas presents.  My niece was diagnosed with Diabetes this year and she loves to eat.  So being a Diabetic myself I thought.....what better present could I give her then a cookbook filled with love.  Hope she loves it.  This is the title page or beginning page of the cookbook.  I absolutely loved using a freebie from Digi Garden.  They are so generous every Friday with a super cute digi stamp.  Since I am new at using copics I learned a bit about shadowing and using dark vs. light colors.  I can see that a person gets better the more they practice...I really don't want to let my dad know that the addage was right~~~ Practice makes Perfect after all...lol.

I hand cut the stand bottom making it uneven (the look I was going for). I used a popscicle stick for the side and wrapped it with a boarder.  And finally, I used a scalloped boarder bunch for the roof.  It was so much fun to put together.  Have a Happy Sunday those in cyberland. 

Catching Up with Catching on......

I must face the facts....I am not much of a blogger; however, I throughly enjoy when I do add the effort into my life;0)

I worked on various projects this summer but I must thank Jerusha Borden for her help in teaching me more about crafting cards then I ever thought possible.  She is a very taltented artist and crafter!!  Thanks roo!!

One of my very favorite things I learned was that there is a whole world of digital images that can be used on cards!!  Wowzers, they are limitless, I must mention a few of my personal favorites like Dustin Pike's work (love, love love the dragon....he is so darn cute), Digital Garden (Gush, gush, gush, I am lovin' everything they put on a screen....love it soooooo stinkin much) and All that Scraps (well they are just cutie tootsie).  I believe I have fallen into the digi world and there will absolutely be no turning back now.....on that note.....this scrapbooking/cardmaking year I pledge to make more than one comment per month....lol, giggle, lol.......
