Morning, all! (LOL! I just realized I forgot to type in the date on the date label on the layout. Oops!)
My latest digital class went up at BasicGrey yesterday (there’s more info on the class at the class page).
This time I used items from the Alyssa Starter Kit, which was sort of my baby. :) I worked on the Alyssa digital kits, so it’s so fun to see it all in the store! Since BG is releasing older paper lines as digital, we’ve been taking the existing paper designs and expanding them into full kits. Some of the collections have die-cuts or a bit more to base our designs off of, but with Alyssa, it was just the paper! So, I got to create lots of things from scratch.
You can see the rest of the Alyssa digital collection here. These are a few of my personal favorites…
Starter Kit – This is the kit I used for the layout above. :)
Flourishes – Fun word art with some handwritten phrases. :)
Textures – Hello? Ya’ll know I can’t resist a good woodgrain. And the letters in this kit are delicious! You can use them all together, or cut apart the .png into individual letters.
Hi all! Thanks for your patience getting this MACM (Tuesday!) up. I was in Lava Hot Springs this weekend and wasn’t able to do the video over the weekend like I usually do. So I did it when I got home from work last night. :)
Anyhow, for the video this week I decided to try embellishing envelopes. Every once in a while I get questions about what to do with envelopes. Most of the time I’m okay with just plain addressing envelopes to the recipient of my cards, but other time I want to do something a bit more. So this is “a bit more.” LOL!
Sorry for the delay! Today’s MACM will be up later this evening after I get home from work. Thanks for your patience! :)
Hope ya’ll had wonderful weekends!
UPDATE: It’s not 10:00 pm and the video is just now exporting from Final Cut. It’s still a good 2 hours from posting here at the ole blog-o, so it will have to wait for morning. I need sleep! :) So if you were waiting for the video tonight, go catch some zzz’s, too. :)
This week’s card started with the stamp set, BasicGrey’s new What a Pear stamp set. This stamp set is great for cardmakers since there are tons of sentiment + image pairings. :)
I also used Sassafras’ Indie Girl 6×6 paper pad. I used these papers a few weeks back, and I just had to break them out again. :) So cute!
CHALLENGE: Create a friendship or hello card. Upload it to the TwoPeas gallery, select this week’s Finally Friday challenge, and you card will appear on the FF page. :)
Hi all! The latest scrapbook class and video just went live over at BasicGrey. Check it out! This time I used a bunch of product from the Recess collection. Seriously, why didn’t I catch on to this line when it first came out? It’s totally awesome! I love all the patterns. They’re so cool!
Anyhow, you can download a PDF with a supply list and cutting instructions on the class page. There’s also a ton of other video on the main BGTV page.
Hi all! Wow, I’m chatty in this video. Seriously, it’s a simple card, but 12 minutes? Hope ya’ll enjoy! Oh, and Mannie makes an appearance at the end. :)
For today’s card, I used Cosmo Cricket’s new Wanted 6×6 paper pad. I LOVE these patterns. Like a ridiculous amount of love. I’m not really sure why either… There not my usual style. I can’t explain it. I’m just smitten with it. :)
Anyhow, enjoy! And be sure to check out the Virtual Card Club I posted over the weekend. I called it Paper Dolls, but it’s really just paper pieced people. My niece, who I based my card off of for the VCC, loves it her card! I can’t wait to send the card to her. :)
