Personalized iPhone Cases

One of my last projects that I completed under the "old" Creative Memories was redeeming my iPhone product credits.  I had two available, so I created personalized cases for both me and my mom.  My latest favorite artwork is the Nancy O'Dell "Joy" digital kit, so I was excited to incorporate it on something that I use every day.

I love my new phone case... Thank you, Creative Memories! Well, tomorrow is the big reveal day, as the "new" Creative Memories will launch.  Stay tuned for updates!

May Workshop Update

It's been a crazy month at work! Thankfully, I managed to find some time this week to prepare a set of Sympathy cards for today's workshop.  Whew!  I created 6 cards in sets of two, using a horizontal and vertical layout in each set.  The subtle tones of the Nancy O'Dell Gratitude paper pack provided a nice backdrop for these simple cards.

Upcoming Card Blast

So I was excited to finally finish my cards for this Sunday's workshop.  Following the card templates was a great starting point. I think we'll try to do another "Card Blast" later in the year and incorporate several new layouts.  I'm including this insert with each kit, which will give everyone an idea of what they're creating... Looking forward to creating Bliss' cards on Sunday as well!





February Workshop: Card Blast! With Love...

We've decided to a Card Blast! for our February workshop.  By the end of the afternoon, you'll have 20 cards using Nancy O'Dell's shabby chic "Love" scrapbook kit.  Take a peak at the lovely papers you'll be working with...

Card Blast! With Love...

Sunday, February 19 from 1 to 4 pm

Kit Cost: $15

bring your tape runner!

Cards will be designed around simple templates that will be "tweaked" several times to produce a fun set.  Bliss already finished her samples... I think you'll love them as much as I do!

Swapping Recipe Cards

As I've admitted in my previous post, cooking is not one of my hobbies.  But after yesterday's workshop, I am so thrilled to have a new batch of recipes!  Bliss' idea for a digital/traditional recipe card swap worked out wonderfully.  Everyone worked hard to decorate their recipe cards... then we were rewarded when it was time to swap!

Bliss starts the swapping...

Take one and pass it down...

20 new, beautiful recipes - digital and traditional.

Recipe Cards

What I love about Storybook Creator Plus (Creative Memories' digital scrapbooking software) the most is that I can become my very own graphic designer.  Seriously, this is way better (and more intuitive to use) than Photoshop. I just finished up some recipe cards for our workshop tomorrow. Special thanks to our participants that sent in their recipes! The cards were created using the Nancy O'Dell Recipe digital kit and will be printed as 4x6 photos at Costco.

Don't all of these recipes sound amazing?!  I don't cook at all (*gasp*) but reading these recipes does inspire me a little bit.  Let me know if you're interested in a recipe book kit... Hope to post pictures of our finished product after tomorrow's workshop!
