Digital Time

I have been having fun with PhotoShop, again. I received the program for my birthday one year and started using it for digital scrapbooking, but then I went back to the paper form. There is something about paper, fabric, etc. and feeling it with your fingers! Of course, there is always new designs in the printed paper - which one cannot live without! That would be me! But, on the same note, I like looking at it in the digital form too. (I want it all!!!) That brings us to the tags I made. This is digital paper that I sized down, removed the inside portion, added a light green edging before the digital paper starts. Added a few sentiments by text in PhotoShop - then back to regular paper playing, inked the edges in CocoaBrown, added a grommet, string and you have a cute tag.

Christmas tags will be fun this year!

Thank you for stopping by! {waving}

P.S. - they are in my etsy shop if you are interested...

What Happened To My Tomboy?

my little tomboy boomer had a life changing experience yesterday.

i have been thinking her claws needed trimming. i did it

once when she was a little puppy &

didn't like the results. so, i never tried again.

yesterday, my sister dropped her dog (herein after referred to as "maggie" or "my sister's puppy)

by the groomer.

i asked if she knew how much they would charge to trim boomer's nails.

she called & they told her they would trim her nails for free.

(slow day & she just wanted to keep busy)

i told my husband, we can't do that to the groomer.

so, i called & asked how much she would charge to give

boomer a bath. i also explained that boomer had never

been to the groomer.

to make a long story short, boomer went to the groomer for the

first time.

she loved it - felt like a princess! the groomer said she was very good &

even held her paws up for the nail clipping.

when we picked her up, she was smiling & wearing a purple bandana & had purple bows

in her fur! her fur is shiney & smells sooo good!

& maggie - she was happy to see her aunt & uncle at the groomer's place too.

maggie doesn't really care for her younger cousin boomer. you see, boomer is

a border collie & maggie is a pomeranian & one time when maggie

came to see us, boomer walked up to maggie & maggie

jumped into the pool!

Stamping World Meets Digital World

Wow - I do love this look of black ink on kraft cardstock! (Waving to Lisa - she's the one who gave me this idea!) Ok, as far as Digital World - not too much here - but it is a start! I used PhotoShop to make my boxes and for the sentiment, but the bunny is a rubber stamp.

These are in my Etsy Shop and if you purchase a set (or 2 sets or 3 sets - gotta dream big! lol) I will include some kraft envelope seals.

I'm Thinking Blueberries

I made a Treasury last night on Etsy. It is so fun looking for items to include in Treasuries.

Please stop by and check out this Treasury. I would love a comment too!

This Treasury will expire Saturday early afternoon.

Business card holder and thank you notes

This is a combination business card holder with a place to write a personal note of thanks. I just love this paper.

Please join in the Thursday blog parties at Everything Etsy, Life as Lori and Somewhat Simple.







The digital stamp is from The Cutting Cafe, but I changed the center image.

Sweet Birthday Cards

I have really like these small birthday gift enclosures. They are really helpful to have on hand for that birthday that crept up on me. I have plans to make in different colors, like purple and blue.

Thank you for looking.

Vintage Sheet Music Envelope Seals

My poor blog has been so neglected. Occasionally, I will play with Beverly's Pink Saturday, but with 2 boys, there isn't much pink around.

Today, I saw at Everything Etsy, a blog party (thanks Lisa!!!) and I decided to join.

These are envelope seals I made with vintage music. The music came from my mother's house and she got a ton of music years ago when my Grandmother passed away. These are music pieces that my Grandmother did not care for - not her favorite music. My Grandmother was a very talented piano player.

Pink Saturday - Valentine's Edition

I have joined Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for her weekly Pink Saturday. Unfortunately, Beverly has had surgery this week. Everyone hopes Beverly will be feeling better soon.

I bought several of these soaps to give my Mother, sister, niece, and myself for Valentine's Day. Last Sunday my Mother told me her Sunday school class at church was having a party for Valentine's and needed a small gift to exchange. Pulling my soaps from the package, I told her she could have the one that I bought myself. I wrapped it for her in pink tissue and made a heart sticker to close it up like stores do at Christmas time, made the little card and placed it all in a small white gift bag. She was very happy with the small gift. Even though I didn't get a soap for myself, it felt good that she was pleased with the gift she had for the party.

By the way, she got chocolate for her gift - something she really likes...

Happy Valentine's Day!
