Fall Card with Silhouette & Lori Whitlock Papers

I made this card with digital papers by Lori Whitlock called Fall Fling.  You can get them at JessicaSprague.com.  I created the card in the Silhouette Studio Software, filled the shapes with the papers by Lori Whitlock, cut them out and assembled.  Super Simple Card!

Silhouette Cameo, Mini File Folder Card based on Heidi Swapp Memory File Concept

 

Well you know I've just completed the Art of Observation class with Heidi Swapp.  You also know that in that class we learned all about Heidi's memory file concept.  I thought I'd take some of the ideas we learned in class and incorporate them into a card.  I made this using Lori Whitlock's "Maggie" collection available soon at JessicaSprague.com and my Silhouette Cameo.  It was really fun.  I started with a mini file folder from the Silhouette Library.  I hope you like it! I can see using the file folder idea as a card template in a thousand different ways!

Valentines Card

Another fun Valentine Card using the For the Love Digital Kit by Jessica Sprague & Heidi Swapp.  I really enjoyed making this one.  Go check out the kit!  It's soo cute.

Valentines Card

I made this card using For the Love Mini Kit by Heidi Swapp & Jessica Sprague.  It's a very fun collection of papers that could be used for a lot of different occassions.  The kit also comes with a video classes with Heidi showing you a bunch of great ideas for cards, a mini album and some great ideas.

Valentines Card, Silhouette Cameo, Heaven!!

I made this card using digital elements and my new Silhouette Cameo machine!  So FUN!   This card uses the digital kit by Pink Paisley called "Sweetness".  It will be available soon at Jessica Sprague.  It is so fresh and fun, I absolutely LOOOOVE this kit.

Have you tried the Silhouette Cameo yet?  I am in HEAVEN!  I have sold a lot of my Cricut Stuff and have converted to Silhouette.  Did you know you can print any jpg, png, clipart, whatever you can print it and then CUT IT OUT with the Silhouette.  No cartridges needed, no added software (the software is free) and it's sooo simple.  Also you can use their software to design your own custom shapes or if you wish you can shop in their store and choose an image (or several images) and cut them.  They have amazing designs to chose from including Echo Park, S.E.I., Samatha Walker, Lori Whitlock.. and many many more!  Most images are $0.99 each if you pay full price...BUT if you have a subscription the cost goes down even more.  I bought a subscription for $14.99 which gives me $25 worth of images which brings the cost down to a mere $.60 an image.  Each week there are clearance items which are $0.50 each and even a free item to add to you treasure box of goodies!  I cannot wait to share some of the images I purchased already! 

Another Art Journaling Class Assignment

This is my latest completed assignment at Jessica Sprague's Digital Art Journaling Class.  This one was to represent "GOALS".    I am an assignment (or 2) behind.  It's been such a crazy week, I haven't had a chance to do much of anything. 

I decided to sell my Cricut and all of my cartridges.  I listed on Facebook, Craigs List and then on the Cricut Messaageboard.  I wasn't prepared.  Within minutes of listing on the messageboard I literally starting receiving a ton of emails.  It was going so fast.. questions coming in.. do you have this cartridge, that cartridge... how much for this, how much for that.  WHEW!  In one day I sold quite a bit of my stuff, but still have a lot left to sell.  The Cricut itself, all the accessories and still about 50 cartridges.  I think I will list on ebay.  Anyway... sorry I haven't posted anything much lately, but life happens! :)

Jessica Sprague Digital Art Journal Class - HOME

Here's My "Home" assignment.  This I feel could have been much more detailed, but I ran out of time.  I'm not one who likes to go back and revisit a project (at least not digital ones). 

Art Journaling Class - "Treasure" Day 2

Today's Theme... Treasure.  I didn't have a lot of time to work on my layout tonight, but I still like the way it turned out.   This class is sooooo much fun!!!

Art Journaling Class - Jessica Sprague

Well guys... looks like I've gone out of my safe place, eh?    I'm taking the incredible Art Journaling Class at Jessica Sprague and wow!  This is sooo much fun!  Today's theme was "heart".  That's it.  Pretty much anywhere you want to go with it.  I absolutely love this class.  She gave us so much product in the course materials that the possibilities are endless!

If a picture paints a thousand words......

A digital layout of my mother.  I was trying to convey in this layout how I miss her and how even at my age I worry that I won't remember what she looks like, what she sounded like, etc.  I know it's really plain and I'm not quite sure I'm finished with it.  I made it, walked away.. came back and moved some things around, changed fonts and font color... and I just couldn't go anywhere else with it.  I hope it conveys the story I was trying to tell.

I made this layout with products from Liv.edesigns from Jessica Sprague. 

Visions of Sugar Plums

I made this layout for my Jessica Sprague Creative Design Team.  It's made using Pink Paislee SnowDay paper and Elements.  I love the colors in this kit.  If you're interested in learning digital scrapping or learning your way around Photoshop you should check out Jessica Sprague now.  She's offering some amazing discounts on classes and products.  I started with Jessica about a year and a half ago and did not even know how to open a blank document in photoshop, everything I've learned, I learned from her classes.  Go, treat yourself and save some $$ at the same time!

Jessica Sprague December Assignments

Well, the new year has almost begun and I  just realized I didn't post my Jessica Sprague final December layout.   This was a very simple digital layout I made using Kitschy Digitals chalkboard elements.   If you look around at the Jessica Sprague Kitschy products you may find a freebie kit like this one.  And while you're there, look around, there are sooo many awesomely cute things to add to your scrapbook stash.

December Project for Jessica Sprague

I am trying to get ahead of the ball for my December projects for Jessica Sprague Creative Team.  My high school girlfriends and I get together once a year every year for a weekend slumber party.  That party is this coming weekend.  I can't wait!!

This layout was made using Ashlea's senior photos and Kitchy Digitals Clothesline, Calico Dream Digital and Washi Tape Frames

I have been dying to tell everyone. I'm so excited!!!  You know how I love all things Jessica Sprague, right?  You know that I've taken a zillion of her awesome classes and how I get giddy everytime I start a new one, right?

Well get this.... I, Lorrie Nunemaker, was invited to be on the Jessica Sprague Creative Design Team!!! Ya, you heard me right.  I am now a part of the Sprague team!  Woohoooooo!  I'm so beyond thrilled that I was asked and so anxious to get my hands into all that digi goodness.

And now... for my 1st assignment with Jessica Sprague.  Here is a digital layout.  I haven't done one of these in awhile, so I had to refresh my memory.  My highlight for this week is Designer Jodie Lee.
I used Jodie Lee's (soon to be released) Grandma's Crochet Fun papers and her Vintage Floral Textures.  She's really got a neat treasure chest of brushes and digi goodies.

A new Mini Album for Richie

Yes, I must confess... another Jessica Sprague/Heidi Swapp project.  This was supposed to be a Father's Day book, but I changed it up, and it was supposed to be made using really cute file folders with the tabs, but for whatever reason, when my pages printed they printed the wrong size, so I just improvized and changed it up a little.

The Front Cover

There's a story here. Last year I bought Richie a store-bought Birthday Card (GASP) ! He has never ever let me forget it. This year I decided I am going to buy him another one... and then give him this. Hopefully I redeemed myself. His mother and I have been secretly passing pictures back and forth. I think he will like it and be very surprised.

My Favorite pages

Lotto Tickets and a Fun Pocket Covered with Words that make me think of Richie

The pocket contains more photos that swivel out.  There's about 5 more pics in there.

The back cover is duct-tape.. and if you know Richie, you know why this is perfect!!!

I'm so excited!

Recognize this?  Woot Woot!  I am soooo excited.  I made the home page of JessicaSprague.com!!!  That is my mirror project!!!!  Ya that's right...me.. !  LOL  I'm famous!   Heee heee!   Really thought, I was so excited when I clicked on Jessicasprague.com as I do everyday and I saw my project from our class on the home page!!!  Wooohoooo!  Made my night! :)

Mouse Paper Scissors - Mirror

This was soooo much fun!   We have had journaling assignments everyday during the five week class.  Sometimes they were silly, sometimes more thoughtful.  We didn't know what we were going to do with all this, but Heidi and Jessica kept telling us.. keep writing!   Well here it is.  This mirror has been decoupaged with all of my journaling for the last five weeks.   There is also a wooden easel that holds the mirror, but I haven't completed it yet, I am still trying to decide what color.  I may change my banner on this, so I don't want to color my easel just yet. Love, love, love this project!  Sadly it's our last week.  I am going to miss it!!!

Mouse Paper Scissors - Happy Book

I've been a bad blogger as of late.  My son, Alex, has been home from College for the week (Spring Break), so instead of having my face glued to the computer all week, I've been enjoying seeing his gorgeous face.  Also keeping me busy has been the Spague classes.  This was the latest project we made in the Mouse Paper Scissors class.  The assignment was to make it for yourself, as a reminder of the little things that make you happy in your life, but I made mine for a friend.  All of the papers on this book were digital papers and 90% of the elements were digital as well.  It's really bright and cheery.  The photos don't show how cute it is.  :)

Digi in Deeper Lesson 10 - Nap Time

Another layout.  Lesson 10.  This one took me two hours.  When I first saw the photo of what we were going to be doing, I thought this one is easy... but again.  Almost all the elements are hand made in class, not jpgs you just import.  I am really learning a lot in this class.
