Halloween album

I finally finished my Halloween album. I used Martha Stewart paper for the cover and inside pages and K&Company paper for the back page.

"Back to Crafting"


I can't believe it has been almost 7 months since I posted to my blog. It has been a crazy year and to top it off the Presidential elections are a few days away. The most devastating storm so far, Hurricane Sandy, has created despair in the Caribbean and the Northeast region of the U.S. Our prayers go out to all of them . One of the best ways for me to escape is to submerge myself into my crafting. We all know the pleasure we get from it. I am pleased to step back onto the scene with a contest sponsored by DCWV. The only rules you must follow is to use DCWV paper to create a project. I chose to design two mini books. One was die cut with the cricut using the new Mini book cartridge and the other one was made with the techniques from charliejones2686 a fellow youtuber. The two paper pads I used was Royal Garden on the 7x9 cricut mini book. The other paper pad used was Mariposa on the 4x6 mini pad. I love this paper and once you see it up close and personal you will fall in love also. This was the easiest book I ever made and I plan on making larger sizes.

Cards and more cards....

One of my newer obsessions has been creating cards digitally. I love using Photoshop elements and MydigitalStudio from Stampinup. The software allows you to manipulate your images in creative ways. I love using traditional formats with digital form aka hybrid cardmaking. All of these cards were created digitally with Photoshop brushes.
