#46 - Punch Out Crime - You're a Classic

This week the MyGrafico Design team worked with this must have stamp set from Zenware Designs
Its a perfect set for the boys in your family. But then again...I'm not much of a girlie-girl and I LOVE it!!
The challenge for today is to use a punch or die cut on your card.
and of course a digi image from MyGrafico ;) To enter your project for a chance to win this set visit the MyGraficO Challenge BlogHere is my project for this week. I have been wanting to use this ugly paper for a while...never had the occasion to until now...and now that I used it...I don't think the paper is as ugly as I once thought. I also tried something else new (for me, anyways)...I used colored pencils and a blending pen for shading...so far I really like this technique and will be practicing it more to see if I can get better at it.

We were to use a PUNCH of some sort...well, I used my corner rounders/punch from Creative Memories AND then I used Martha Stewart Border Punch.

Dawn Oldham's Webinar

Last week I participated in Dawn Oldham's Webinar. It highlighted tips and tricks on the Creative Memories Digital Software! I purchased it from my local CM Consultant BUT I don't have it yet. I can't wait to try it! Especially after following along during Dawn's Webinar. She is a great presenter and multi-tasker! You could watch or watch and listen at the same time by calling a number. It was supposed to last about an hour but it lasted more like an hour and a half which was TOTALLY fine with me because I learned a LOT! There were OVER 800 people watching this Webinar at the same time! HOW FUN! Dawn also directed us to a Font site which I still need to check out but I thought I would post it for others to see in case you are interested or looking! It's dafont.com.

Need to get Scrappin'

I really need to get scrappin'! It's been a while. This is a page I did a while back. The Layout was swiped from a Creative Memories Idea Sheet. This is a page I did for my Grandmother's Album. The picture is of my Dad with one of their Cats when she was a kitten...they are BOTH taking a "cat nap". The cat that is pictured is Berni. She was named after Bernie Williams the former New York Yankee. Her brother's name is Jeter named after Derek Jeter. (not pictured).

I have been looking up a few of the girls blogs from RSC and have really been enjoying all of their scrapbooking pages and other crafts and realizing how much I have been slacking. I am also looking forward to a few scrapbook gatherings. Hopefully I will be able to go to one tomorrow night (Creative Memories) and another one later in the month (Close To My Heart) and another friend of mine is hoping to start some gathering just for fun (and not associated with a company). I am hoping RSC will schedule another online crop soon (hint, hint = Jen!!!)
