Playing with Digital Scrappin'

Since I haven't done anything physical lately, I thought I'd post some of the digital pages that I've done. Here's one I did a few months back. I'm still new at the digital scrappin' thing, but it is a lot of fun to play with. I love it when i remember to write down quotes from the kids.

Settling In

Well, we've finally made it to Wisconsin. We're settled in at my Mother-in-Law's, but I don't have any of my craft stuff! :o( I do have a few things here, but not much. I'm currently crocheting a blanket, and making a stocking for Nick for Christmas. Most of my days are spent home schooling the girls (for once, we're not behind schedule) and doing what I can to help Mike in getting our house started.

I've also spent some time getting our recent photos uploaded to the computer and adding albums to our Picasa website. You can check it out here. I'm still behind, but it's getting there. I'm hoping to start scanning some of Mike's heritage photos and digitally scrapping them. As soon as I do, I'll start posting some more items here.

Anyway, that's it from our side of the world. We pray that all is well on your.

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33

In Transit

I apologize for not posting anything here for such a long time. All my stuff is packed up, and we're starting on our new adventure of being retired and civilians! We leave tomorrow for the States and on to Wisconsin. As soon as we get the house built and my craft room set up I will be posting more projects here. Actually, I'm quite sure I will not be able to wait that long before I create something, so I may be posting before then. Who know? Till then..God's blessings.

Some recent projects

Here's some shots of the projects I've worked on lately. The first one is a cake I made for a friend of mine for her Red Hat Society party. This one was fun to do and it's getting easier for me to work with the fondant. I usually have a hard time getting the wrinkles out near the bottom of the cake. This one was easier since it had the big purple ribbon to help hide any wrinkles that I couldn't get out.

These next ones are a key chain I made. I stamped the image on shrink plastic and colored it with watercolor crayons. After shrinking it, I coated the top with Crystal Effects and some extra-fine glitter. The bead is one that my sister bought for me while shopping in Hiroshima.

The movers come in a couple of weeks, so I think I will do some crafting this next week before all my stuff goes into storage.

Have a blessed day!

Introduction

I've finally decided to stick my toes into the blogging world. I will soon be leaving many of my crafting friends behind as we retire from the Marine Corps and move back Stateside. I hope that by starting this blog, it will encourage me to keep in touch, and maybe help inspire them and others to have fun and get creative. After all, God is the Ultimate Creator, and we are all made in His image! :o)

I'm not sure how much I will post in the next few weeks as we prepare to move, but I will do my best to get to know the ins and outs of blogging and post as much as I can.
