Digital Challenge #4

I have been having fun with a digital challenge on a website called FromCtoshining C. This is a great site for my crafty friends. Well every Thursday a digital challenge is posted. I am trying to make point of participating each week.

Well this week the challenge was to take a picture and turn it into a background. So this was my creation for the challenge. The picture was the bride's bouquet. I zoomed in and blurred the picture a little to make sure your focus is on the couple not the background.

Psst btw ask me about our Wedding package. This is another GREAT deal!

Father's Day Frenzy Details....

Ok we got the details of the Father's Day Frenzy. This is exciting. We have had a package on sale for a Storybook and greeting card. The storybook was available in 2 sizes a 7x5 or a 7x10 and a 5x7 greeting card. Well for the Frenzy the price has been dropped even more. Email me for more details. The sale ends the 25th.

To help facilitate this sale, I am hosting 2 more open houses. One is Monday at 7 and another on Wednesday at 7pm. Please email me for directions. Also I am offering one on one appointments. For a one on one you can actually invite a friend or 2. They can be at my house, online, or at a local restaurant that has Wi-fi available to it's customers. Or there is time to host a party. I have open dates and you can have a great party with little notice. With a party you could possible earn the package for free.

This year give dad something he will cherish and treasure. You can build a book with a template in 20 minutes.

Starting tonight I am going to be on a frenzy of my own. I am going to be working on template designs like crazy to help you build a book in short order.

I am placing 3 orders one on Monday, one Wednesday and one on the 25th. If I get enough orders from one of those orders to earn a storybook credit then I am going to have a raffle for a 8x8 storybook, if not it will be for poster credit. The raffle will work this way. If you place an order that is one entry into the raffle. If you are a new customer that signs up during the frenzy that is an entry. If you host a party that is an entry. If you attend a party or one on one, that is an entry. If you order one of the Father's day specials that is also an entry. (So if you order 1 special that is actually 2 entries one for placing an order and one for the special. If you order 2 specials then that is 3 entries.) I will keep everyone posted if I get a storybook credit or not.

Another wedding announcement

I made another wedding announcement. I have been having fun creating things for my website when I get it launched. Stay tuned for that...

BTW don't forget that Heritage Makers has an announcement contest going on. You can win free products.

Order on Friday-- Ship on Tuesday. YIPPIE!

Father's day is a big sales time for Heritage Makers, so I thought there would be a delay in getting the poetry book. I just had to make a quick post to say that it already shipped! I am so excited. I figure in a week it will be here with plenty of time to get it to the school before school lets out for the year.

Another scrapbook page

Ok I am on a 4th of July theme. Probably because I need to make cards for a swap with a 4th of July theme and I am drawing blanks on what to make. So my mind must be on Red, White and Blue. Now if I can only transfer that to a card made with my Cricut or Cuttlebug for this swap.
Anyway here is the frame. The picture has my oldest daughter and 2 girls from scouts so I need parental consent before I can post it. But here it is..
This was made with the same freedom kit used in my "My Heroes" scrapbook page.

Playing with Wedding Announcement

I am trying to expand my gallery for my website when I get it together. I designed a Wedding announcement. I can also do Invitations and Save the date cards. I have seen Heritage Makers playing cards used for some cute Save the date cards.

This was fun to put together. My goal is to make at least 1 new project a day to build up my gallery.

Well enough chit chat here is what I made.

I used some commercial use elements and the background is from the Heritage Maker's premier art collection. I need to look up what art work I used for the text book, I didn't pay attention. (I know I need to, but I was on a roll creating.) The flowers are from a digital design package.

It is myflowers02 and in the kit I got it was labeled Mega May by:

8x8 page for challenge

I took part in a digital scrapbooking challenge. The challenge was to use a photo to create a digital element. I used a flag from some fabric that I had.

I had a patriotic digital kit I got from Digiscrapwarehouse that I used. It is called the freedom kit.

The kit was designed by:

The picture is of my dad and my brother. They both served in the military, and I am proud of them for that. The picture was taken the day my brother came home from Afghanistan. That is why he is not smiling, he was worn out from the trip. He was supposed to get home at 10am on July 4th (I think that was the time) and instead it was like 4-5 am on July 5th. So he was beat!
