Just A Note…

August 16th, 2011

I made these cards for Operation Write Home. They were simple to make and I had fun using my new corner punch. These are simple, yet nice to use as just "A Little Note" for the soldiers to send to their friends or family.

Here are the four I made. Plan to make some more over the next few days.

Here is a close-up of just one of the cards.

Back to Scrappin’

August 7th, 2011

I am trying to keep up with my kid's books and I had to find a way to get a page done in little time. So, I went on a hunt for a simple sketch. I thought it was such a cute sketch for what I wanted to do, so I printed a copy of the sketch and went to work!

I found this sketch at: http://danniesdesigns.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/10/love-owl-ways.html

I really liked using a sketch and plan to use many more. I always spend so much time trying to figure out what the page is going to look like. Now, using sketches, it takes hardly any time at all!

If you know of any scrapbook page sketch sites, please let me know in a comment below!

Here's the page with just the base completed. I love it because it is just so simple and clean cut.
