Let it Snow...

The white stuff is falling like crazy out there so I thought I should post the word art challenge that I created for the facebook group Digi know as it seemed quite fitting.  It is SO easy to make your own word art titles...think of a word. Brainstorm other words or phrases that relate to the key word. Create the words in different fonts and give them all shadows from the format tab. Flatten the text to make them one!
To use this word art, clcik on the image to enlarge, right click to save as. You can bring it into storybook using your content manager.

I think I might just have to use this word art in a layout for this year...tomorrow I will have to take the pictures as it looks as though this is a big storm.  Thanks Lizz for reminding me that it has been forever since I posted...I guess online is always open, no holidays here!

For more word art go to the project center on my website. www.mycmsite.com/cre8memories
Click on digital scrapbooking, click on digital freebies. WOW, these gals are good!

A little bit of Digital and a little bit of Traditional

Traidtional First:

This weekend I took to Summerland for a day crop with consultants Sandra G and Kimmie B. I needed that! It is incredible when you take time for yourself to create how good you feel afterwards. ( I walked the talk ) For one of the layouts I did I used the solid cardstock as the background and papered and layered squares around it. ( A little bit of inking too...) I have lost my digital camera cord so I have to wait to post the pic. Thanks ladies for that awesome experience.

Digital Second:

There is a "Creative Memories - Go Digital" group on facebook that is run by the designers for the company. They post dicussion topics and layout challenges. Here is my contribution to the layout challenge. SO much fun to create! I played with the 3D filter, right clicking all the way! ( Right click to flatten text, right click to filter and select the 3D option) Search in groups and add yourself to join in on the FUN!

I think there is a new challenge I will have to try...

Out of the frying pan...

Well this weekend was a CRAZY one. With birthday parties a cookie exchange and at the end of it all a sick little bug, I don't think I knew what day it was, or what time it was for that matter. But we did manage to have a quick picture done with Santa. Matthew didn't really want to be there and his HAT HAD to stay on. James was really excited to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas, santa wasn't all that excited to listen ( it was the END of the day) and little Jack was thrilled, he wanted Santa's beard!


But I have the opportunity to work on a beautiful hardcover album for a local photographer. It features aerial photos featuring some of the South Okanagan's finest landmarks. And it really took me away from the crazies of sick and the shopping buzz all around. Thank you to Mike Biden for this opportunity!

I also sent away for my Christmas Cards, a little later than planned but that seems to be the way it goes. ( I will post them post Christmas...)

Have you been the Creative Memories Project Center lately? They are doing such a fabulous job of creating some fantastic Christmas gifts and crafting ideas. The Digital Facebook site also has a page contest on right now...I will post my entry later this week.

Back to sickies and a teething baby.
