Pool Party Invitations
Was asked by a friend to create some pool party invitations. Once I put my creative thinking cap on an idea quickly came to mind. I love just floating in the pool on my raft so what better way to advertise a pool party than a raft!
I chose the pinky purple paper since i had a lot on hand, seems I don't use a lot of purple in any of my work. The card base is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size, but I made these postcard style so all you have to do is flip it over for the details. The 4 rectangles measure 3/4 x 4 1/2 and the horizontal rectangle measures 1 1/4 x 4 1/2. I cut these on my Cricut from a rectangle with rounded edges. I then inked the edges in a darker purple and glued onto the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" base card. The pillow I glued only partly onto the card base, so the finished card measures 6 1/4 x 4 1/2. Invitations are being hand delivered so I was not concerned about fitting into an envelope.
The smaller water splat and raindrops in the upper right hand corner are from a couple of old punches I own. The large water splat and drops are cut from the Cricut Explore I don't know the cartridge name as I just searched for water splat and found one I liked. Pool party is cut from the Cricut Explore also using my fonts I have installed on my computer. The word POOL is Ballon font and PARTY is Boyz r gross font. Last finishing touches were some highlights using a blue sparkle jelly pen.

Digital Scrapping
*Gasp* I know with my room full of paper scrapbook supplies how can I even mention digital scrapping? But really, life is getting busier and I'm falling behind on archiving my photos. I need to get that journaling down on paper (or computer in this case) before I forget all the little tidbits of the story. So this is how it all began......
A friend of mine had a Creative Memories party where I was able to see what a digital scrap program can do. Unfortunately or fortunately in my case; CM doesn't make a version for the Mac at the moment (will they ever? that's a whole other post since my mac already does what their photo organizing software says is new and exciting). So I went home disappointed I couldn't at least try it. Now I love research, so I dug in and had one of those eureka moments, the software that I design the stamps I make on will also work for digital scrapping. Now I want simple. I love all those quick pages you can find all over the internet (a ton for free too!) In the last couple of days I've journaled, titled, dragged, dropped and cropped and have completed 6 pages. It will go even quicker now that I've got the hang of it. Just have to have them printed and if I die next week I'll know the memories were archived for my family.
Don't get me wrong I will still paper scrap when I have time, I just don't know when that will be!
