Kween Bee Kreations

Post Card Set

I have been dying to use the Holiday Lounge designer paper.

With it's funky, bold, and retro patterns - it's a collection I knew I needed for this holiday season.

Using a fun envelope portfolio idea I CASE'd from my friend, Kim, I made this simple set of note cards.

 

See another envelope portfolio I created by clicking here.  View the cards from that collection in detail here.

This is a very quick project - go ahead and make a few card sets for friends & family!  One of the best gifts in my mind is one that is handmade and comes from the heart.

Feel free to download the envelope portfolio.  If you create one, email me a photo.  I'd love to share your creation on my blog!

You'll notice that I flipped the sketch on it's side for my creation.  I also substituted square images for round ones.

Using the Love Me designer paper (currently found on the clearance rack for only $3.99) I created a non-traditional holiday card.  I have been dying to use this color combination for weeks now and I am so happy I finally got the chance to try it out.

I'm sure you'll see it around here again before the holidays are over.  I envision using the hostess level 1 set, Patterned Pines with this color combo.

Picture these pines in yummy colors such as Pretty in Pink, Taken with Teal, and Close to Cocoa.  Oh, I can't wait!  I've already made a card with these trees in Basic Black, if you missed it, check it out here.

On my PPA submission I used the set called Sweet Season and omitted parts of an image using my Stampin' Write markers.  The result ... 3 adorable holiday houses.

LOVE IT!

I love the way both turned out.

Walk Down Memory Lane

This My Digital Studio page is a walk down memory lane for me. 

It contains photos of myself and my husband from about 6 years ago.  A lot has changed since the day we met ... but the sentiment still rings true.

Steve, I like to be with you.

Check this out.  Here is a snapshot of the pre-designed template I used for my page.

Notice, I did not change much to create my final page.  With a few simple clicks, I added photos, created drop shadows on my elements (including the photos) and replaced the sentiment. 

From start to finish, this page took me 10 minutes!  I have created more scrapbook pages in the last month than I have in the last 6 years.

My Digital Studio makes scrapbooking fun and easy.

Her Favorite Things

Here is the sister page to my page titled "His Favorite Things" that was posted yesterday.

You will notice that the layout and colors are nearly identical.  However, I changed the borders along the side, using a more feminine border for my page and more masculine for my husband's page.

Duplicating these pages was a breeze with My Digital Studio.  All I had to do was click, copy, & paste.  Then I replaced the photos, arranged my stamps and I was done!

So incredibly easy and fun.  I absolutely love the end result and cannot wait to finish my book.  You'll see more pages in my upcoming posts. 

To give you a better idea of what they'd look like when bound in a book, here is a view of both pages.

Look at this sad, sad bandage ... isn't it so cute?

I just love this simple stamp image - it's part of the Wellness Wishes stamp set.  You can see my other card using this set here.

"Nobody likes to be sick, and when you're not feeling so well, you need all the love and encouragement you can get.  Send a little love to those in need with a heartfelt greeting from this set." ~ Stampin' Up!

Giving Thanks for MOJOMARY

I am honored to say that I know Mary - as in MOJOMARY, i.e., Stampin' Pretty, aka my Aunt Mary Fish, otherwise known as my friend.

Mojo Monday turned 100 last week and several of the designers came up with their own sketch.  I didn't get a chance to play along until the grand finale, but what a finale it was!

Using this sketch, I broke out my Autumn Meadows designer series paper. 

You will find this paper in the Holiday Mini catalog, released September 1, 2009.

Beautiful colors such as Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, More Mustard, Taken with Teal, and Very Vanilla fill this paper pack. 

I'm so ready for Fall to begin - it's my favorite season of the year. 

Need a Holiday Mini catalog?   today.

Did you play @ Pals Paper Arts this week?  Deadline for this weeks challenge is Noon (CST) August 25.  Tomorrow (Aug 26) the 3 Paper Artist Picks of the week will be showcased. 

On Thursday, August 27 our next challenge will be posted!  You won't want to miss what the design team has in store for PPA5.

Wellness Wishes

Know someone that is feeling under the weather?

Sending them a hand-stamped card may be just what the doctor ordered.  This cute little dog is sure to lift their spirits anyway ...

He's from the Wellness Wishes stamp set (item #115356, set of 3, $14.95)

 

I used the color throwdown color combo on today's card, just like I did last week.  Combining Bermuda Bay, Dusty Durango & Soft Suede was so much fun - especially when I am able to use my favorite card base, Kraft.

This card fits into my Kwik & Kool category - it's a very basic design and took only 10 minutes from start to finish.
