Simply Amazing

Very plain....but

Day 239, 2010

Well here it is.... This is what I've been doing for the last two days.... Ashlea, Alex and I painted this room today.. (Ashlea's old room).... It's a bit brighter than I intended, but I like it.

5 Things I Love - J Sprague

Jessica Sprague has been working on updating some of her previous classes with the new versions of Photoshop. She offered a discount to anyone with the previous classes if they would like to get the new layouts/kits/lesson... of course I jumped... this is one of her class lessons. I love all the freebies she includes in her classes, the kits are always amazing and a little refresher never hurt anyone. The first time I took most of her classes I had Photoshop Elements, so it's kind of nice to go back and watch the CS5 versions and see what little tricks I'm missing.

Baby Shower Card

A friend of mine is expecting her first baby... how exciting!!! Her first at age 43!  So much fun.

Best Wishes

This one was just me putzing around. The ribbon may be a bit too big for this card.

Simple "HI"

Made this one with one of my monthly kits from Taylored Expressions. Love this kit!

Made this card for a friend's upcoming 20th Anniversary... the photo doesn't show the colors very well (operator error :( ) but it's a fun combo of colors.

YOU for Ashlea

Just another quick page (Sprague).

Ashlea and Alex Then and Now

This is a JSprague template. I can't take credit for the design, but I'm trying to catch up on some layouts. It's been awhile.

Thank you Card

Organized my card stash and realized I am low on Thank You cards, so I've been focusing on Thank YOu for the last few.

Thank you card

Used a design from the hybrid card class with JSprague, but I didn't use her digi paper, I used real PP from my stash. The only digi on this card is the frame with FRIEND in it. The rest is real paper or stamps. Oh, a new supply I am in love with and used on this card is the black and white stripped MASKING tape I used on the inside. Too cool.

Sneak preview new digi kit.

A sneak preview of the kit I've been designing for the Art of Digital Design class with Jessica Sprague. Please give me your honest opinions. There are several more elements and papers included, but I wanted to get an idea from you if you think this is something you would use if you were/are a digi scrapbooker. The papers are all pattered on this layout, you may have to zoom in to see the golden one it's tone on tone. Anyway, I'd love your feedback/suggestions, etc, as I need to finalize this soon and turn it in for my certification. This layout is my recap page for my Project 365 book/blog.

Meet daisy

A hybrid card. I made the background paper and obviously modeled this one after one of the JSprague class cards.... I love the Dog/Daisy paper... very appropro (how the heck do you spell that!?!?!?) don't you think? :)

More JS Cards

Here's a couple more cards from the Jessica Sprague card class.

This one was fun. It's not really my style, but I love the technique. You print out a transparency and then use a gel medium to transfer the image onto a piece of cloth. Then put that piece of cloth on the card.


This card involved using water colors and a photoshop brush. The watercolor portion was just the kind of watercolors you bought for elementary school, then she/I took a piece of shelf liner and painted on that and pressed it on top of the water color part to make that interesting texture (the little square looking part)


I just love how she is using so many mediums that I would never think of. Anyway, if you haven't signed up for her free class, you should. It's not too late.

Digi Card Jessica Sprague Class

This card was too much fun! Lots of steps, but pretty simple. The front is pretty much dead on with the assignment, the inside I changed the sentiment. I bought a ScrapQueen T-shirt for a friend and I thought I'd put this card inside, so I changed the sentiment to fit the gift. She's one of my scrapping friends. I should mention this is from the Jessica Sprague free class, she's just got a million great ideas. The inside lined paper was printed digitally as well as the cardstock used on the front and the embellishment. I'm really digging this Hybrid stuff! :)

Hybrid cards, continued

This was a really fun card from the Jessica Sprague class. I love the pop-up trees inside. How cute is that. It was very simple to make. The trees and sentiment were printed on the printer (the background orange and pattern paper were from my stash).
