chugging along

A while ago my son went to a birthday party for one of his best friends, and James loves trains, so I figured it would be a perfect time to play with one of my favorite kid sets, choo choo. I also love using a ton of color on kids cards, so I decided to use as much as I could.




Stamps: Choo Choo, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Right On Track Wheel
Inks: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Perfect Plum, Basic Black
Papers: Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Real Red, Various DSP
Misc: Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, Wheel Guide, 1/2" Circle Punch

more calendar pages

I *think* I am done testing my new blog background. I am hoping to get some more time tonight to actually transfer it to this blog. I created it all in MDS, and that part was super easy!! I even made matching sidebar buttons and my new watermark as well. The only part I really had issues with was the uploading to the internet and to blogger. I am not very computer smart and while my hubby is, I wanted to figure it out as much on my own as I could. I did get some help from Michelle at Shabby Creations on the sizing of my template and where to update the code. I also FINALLY figured out why I was having such issues uploading my background.... apparently my setting on my photobucket account were wrong... it was resizing my files automatically, which made them too small.

Since I still do not have anything new to show you, here are some more calendar pages.





Until next time, Happy Scrappin'

Train load of fun

I just love this little train set. I have used it for so many different occasions and for kids and adults. I was wanting to see if I could use it for Christmas too and this is what I came up with. I really love my In Color markers, they make coloring in small areas on stamps soooooo easy. Cute & Cuddly is also a new favorite of mine, as is the new holiday lounge DSP. I hope you all like it as much as I do.




Until next time, Happy Scrappin'
