Memories Artwork Designs

Scrapbooking things over the weekend

I was experiencing a bit of withdrawal from scrapbooking, but I really need a creative break after finishing a large wedding album that I really put my heart into.... here is a peak:

In November I will be attending an artist market and I'll be selling all kinds of Christmasy items, such as cards, tags, frames, gift boxes and minialbums (if I make it that is..lol). So, I got started with a few cards this weekend (I know...ughhhh...it's only September and the weather is still so beautiful!). Anyhoo....here are some of the cards I made... one of them is not a Christmas card. I just saw a German stencil I picked up at a hardware store and got an idea. ;-)

This card above was inspired by Kristina Werner Design. You should check out her blog, just awesome!!

 

And THEN, I made another something inspired by Lisa Tutman-Oglesby and her fabulous ideas. You should go check out her blog as well. Very inspiring!  This was made very quicky, using modge podge to adhere and then cutting off the excess paper around the edges. You have to work very fast with modge podge as it dries very quickly. Slap on a few stickers and violá! There you have it! An entirely new and personal notebook.

That's all for now! Stay tuned for more!

Weird looking ladybug

Of all the things I could post about (and there are a lot), I'm posting about a ladybug we saw in our apartment this afternoon. I'm not sure if I've ever seen one quite like this. It's black with two large red dots on it's back, almost like they're painted on. :-) Super cute!!! Isn't he (or she) neat?

Super Halloween Cards tutorial video

Ladies (and Gentlemen...in case you're reading)

Wow, just had to share this with you!! Kristina Werner makes fantastic videos on her blog and now she's made yet another fabulous video tutorial for three (yes, three!!) awesome Halloween cards she's designed. They have really cool shapes and cute details.  Check it out on her Blog and lots of other videos. Now just sit back, relax and enjoy this load of creativity!!!

Fantastic Flower Video Tutorial by Donna Salazar

This video tutorial is a bit older, but I thought I should share it with you anyway, since some of you may not have seen this. Donna Salazar makes these terribly cool flowers in this video, just awesome. Watch this to see how they are done!

I'm still here!!

Just to let everyone know that I still exist!!! I'm just on vacation that's all! As soon as I get back there will be lot's to post.

I have so many ideas in my head! :) I do plan to send out another newsletter when I return home from gorgeous Bavaria in which I will be incorporating a free tutorial for you. Hope you like it.

This photo is the view from the terrace of our house. Breathtaking isn't it? ;-)

Altered Cork Memo Board & a hybrid boy's birthday card

Hello my fellow blog readers! First of all, I would like to thank you for reading and looking. I wish I would have more time to read all the blogs I would like to read, but it's just not possible. But anyway...THANK YOU! :-)

Came up with this idea yesterday for some reason. I used to post our monthly schedule in our kitchen, but it seemed so drab, so I decided to get a cork memo board and dress it up a bit. didn't take long at all! :-)

I think it turned out pretty cute. ;-) I look forward to putting our schedule up there now!

And this is a hybrid card (PSE 6.0) for my nephew Luke.  Since he will be turning 11, I thought I needed to make it look cool.  So I did all of that in Photoshop, printed on cardstock and then inked the edges. Eh violá!
