Your Generosity Blows Me Away


Hello there, I hope you are having a great Sunday.  We don't have much going on here...Collin has a basketball game at four, but other than that it should be a quiet day.  It's raining hard outside so not much else to do other than sneak down to the craft room (or that's my excuse anyway!).

So...I have a fun little card to share with you up above.  Karen was super kind and set me a fun Lil Inker pinwheel set and die for my birthday.  With all the Christmas creations going on around here, I didn't get a chance to play with it until last week. I love it!   I thought about adding more bling to the card but decided to keep it simple.

And...over the last week I've been sneaking in time to try out the Jessica Sprague class on Project Life.  Yesterday I had about 90 minutes were no one was home (that is very unusual!) so I finished up the class and last night created my first couple of digital layouts.  I've shared most of these pictures before, but I wanted to share the digital layouts with you.  Scrapbooking used to be my number one crafty priority, but it is really taking a back seat to card making.  That said, I still want to capture our memories but would like to do it quicker!  So...the last two years I've done the paper digital life which has been a huge time saver. This year I'm going to see how I like doing it digitally.  I'll keep you posted.  I'm definitely not a picture a day person...but like to capture our lives in pictures!  

And if you've read this long and you're a digital scrapbooker, where do you buy your digital goodies? I was thinking about digital scrapbooks for the boys albums (versus our family album that I do in Project Life) and was having a hard time finding any items I liked for school concerts/band/choir, etc.  Ideas are welcome!

PS I was sitting here wondering why Collin and Marcel weren't in any of these pictures...they were out with Pat at an Indian Guides meeting!

Your pinwheel looks great, and so does your digital layout! I wonder if Design House Digital has some stuff you might like? When I worked with Jen Allyson she had her collections on there and there was a ton of stuff!

Maureen said...

wow! It's looking great! I love the white frame around the pics :) It's cold here so that's my excuse for a little inky time before my weight training session :) Enjoy!

sandie said...

what a fab pinwheel and gorgeous bright colours. Photos look good like this and I say go for it, if this makes it easier to stay on top of your scrapbooking, it must be worth learning- you are a busy girl!

Hannelie said...

I LOVE this pinwheel card Lynn!

Judith said...

That pin wheel is almost a must-have (-: Like the colours of your card (I have the same paperpad and like it so much, I don't want to use it...)

Have a great Sunday evening!
Judith

Marisa said...

Way to go digital :) I'm with Moe, love the white frame around the pictures. Keep them coming!

Cindy C. said...

Very cute card Lynn!

Laurie Chilton said...

I too was like you Lynn and did just a ton of scrapbooking and then got away from it due to the time factor. I'm a bit techy challenged so digital has always scared me, but you pages give me hope. Good luck and I will check in to see how you are doing. Oh... love your card by the way as always*wink* :)

Anita Rex said...

Such a fun card! What a great gift and fabulous job on the digital layouts!

Tracey McNeely said...

Your pinwheel is so cute Lynn, love the green and what a great collection of Christmas photos. Enjoy sneaking away to the craft room!

Ardyth said...

What a fun little card - perfect for the sentiment! Love the colours you've chosen for your digital layouts (and I love that they're photo-heavy - that's the whole point of scrapbooking, in my opinion (not that I scrapbook, so what do I know?! LOL!)

Unknown said...

LOVE your card Lynn! that pinwheel die is the best!

Virginia L. said...

Love the pinwheel card and photo pages! I don't think there is ever a rule for scrapbooking...as long as you like it and the style suits you, then it's all good! With that said, I am not into digital scrapbooking myself(at least not yet), I still like to do it the old-fashion way (with printed digit kits, yes) I know Two Peas in a Bucket has a wide selections of digie kits! You may want to check that out.

Laurie said...

The pinwheel card is adorable! Love those colors! And the layout? Awesome! I have PL stuff all in a stack in the corner. Why can't I pull it out and use it? lol!

Suzanne said...

Hehehehe - so so fun! I love the pop of colors in the pinwheel! It's a great die to have. :)

Great pinwheel, look forward to seeing more of it. Digital layouts... humm... not sure I'll make it happen, but I'd love to think it would, way to get your project started.

Ginny said...

Love your pinwheel card! Congrats to you for trying these digital layouts for scrapbooking - fantastic! (Thanks for your sweet comment - you're such a special person!!) Sending you lots of hugs.

Arlene said...

Great card Lynn, love the clean look and the pinwheel is beautiful. Have you checked out Designer Digitals...that's where I get a lot of digi stuff from. Hope you find what you're looking for.
