A long overdue post...

I've recently had to chance to take pictures of some of the cards I made and gave away to my family, as well as the mini-album I made for my sister for Christmas last year. Check it out.

This one was for my parents' anniversary. All papers are Basic Grey Periphery. I think it's the most beautiful card I've ever made.

This is the card I posted on April 4th 2009 (I know, I know), it's not in pristine condition, but you can finally see the real colors.

This next card was for my nephew's birthday. I believe I made this card in my first scrapbooking class.

This next one contained theatre tickets that I got for my niece and nephew for Christmas last year. There's a small pocket inside to hold the tickets.

That's it for now! I'll post the mini album tomorrow.

Clipart

I read somewhere on a blog today something about clip art. I can't recall where it was! I looked into my own personal library of links (aka my overstuffed email inbox) and found this link I sent myself a long time ago. There's a bit of everything.

I don't know about licensing or royalties, but if it's personal use on your own art, it shouldn't be a problem... I think... ::shifty eyes::

Oh baby!

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and focus and hi-def

The camera update

I checked today if Best Buy mailed the camera, and they haven't! We ordered it on August 30th. So tomorrow, I'm calling a camera shop and if they have it in stock, I'm canceling Best Buy.

Seriously, I have so much stuff to post. There's the mini I did for my sister at Christmas, and numerous cards. There are several that I already gave away, but since it's all to my family, I'll just photograph the cards next time I visit them.

I did four cards recently, one is posted below, but I'll repost it when I get the camera, and one I already gave to my parents for their anniversary. I can't wait to get the camera so I post everything and finally be up to date in here!

Get Sketchy no 3

I can't wait to get my new camera! Guess why?

The second pic shows the real colors and the 3D effect, but is a bit out of focus. The first one is in focus but over exposed!

We're getting a new camera in the next few weeks. Je garde espoir!





Papers are Basic Grey Lemonade and Eva.

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I posted anything here. I've made several cards, and gave away some I already had because I was feeling lazy ;-)

This first one is made with Ranger glossy paper and alcohol inks, then stamped on top with black Stazon. It was given to my DH's bosslady. Very simple layout, but big impact with the glossy paper center image.



Second, there was this card which I made on my very first scrapbooking class back in September 2008. I still hadn't painted the images, so I whipped out my Twinkling H2Os and finished it, and it was ready to go!



And the last picture currently uploaded on my computer is my mother's day card. Very simple to make. The card is sold precut, so I simply applied pattern patter on the vase and painted the flowers. I used the vintage watercolor palette from US Artquest. The card is from Magenta.



<---P.S. Why is there a "frame" around the smiley? Anyone as another html code I should use instead of img src? Fanks!
