Sending You Our Love and Support

 

The verse on this card reads “Sending You Our Love and Support”...a totally fitting sentiment and graphic for someone battling breast cancer. This hybrid card was creating using digital art, a digital diecut (svg art file) along with traditional stamping and floral diecuts from felt. Calling upon my favorite recipe for making cards, this card uses current digital art mixed with traditional card elements to add texture, interest and a customized card. The beauty of digi art is that you can size it down to fit exactly the size you want it. Nice, huh? Which is extra nice when you want to pair with an svg diecut frame, also sized to exactly the size I wanted. The flower diecuts are from Stampin' Up!®, Floral Fusion sizzlits die, paired with a small adhesive pearl and an SU stamped verse in pink ink. This makes for a clean, simple and cheery greeting for a friend battling a breast cancer diagnosis. 

Cancer comes in all forms and effects the lives of so many families. If you have been impacted by cancer or know someone who is beginning their journey, show your support for one of the many fundraising efforts out there. Our daughter Ashley's sorority is participating in Relay for Life in Boca Raton, FL. You can help her reach her personal fundraising goal by donating one day's lunch money, that Friday night pizza or weekend coffee or smoothie money. Every amount helps, and you can keep your donation anonymous. Click here for more information.

Project 365/Days 52-55 Sketching, Scrapbooking & Designing

Living Life Creatively makes for a nice variety in my life...one day, I may be sketching, the next scrapbooking and the next, designing. Life is full of variety and so is this post. I am trying to play catch up on showing you my daily challenges.

Day 52/Fluffy Bunny Sketches
Hey, you wanna help me decide on which of these bunnies to turn into my next digi stamp?
I have an idea in mind as to which one works best, but wanna hear your opinion!!!


Day 53/ Love These Girls Layout
When it comes to friends, both of our daughters have lucked out in finding the very best.
Kylie's group of friends requested a photo shoot at the beach in January. I have lots of great pictures to scrap. In this layout I used the svg files to cut out the flouishes from my new Swirly QZ’s digital set and add them to this layout. Just one other way to bring digital into your scrapbooking/crafting! For instructions and a supply list go to the Glue Arts blog at this link to the post.


Here is what the Swirly QZ's set looks like...

You may remember a while back that I gave you a sneak peek at part of this stamp when it was back in the sketching phase. Now the digi stamp is up for sale in my shop at www.mygrafico.com.
It includes 5 bonus verses to use to create light-hearted greeting cards. And it is only $2!!!!

Just wanted to give you a digital card example to show how you can color in this
stamp on your computer and pair it with one of my Framing Shapz 1 designs to create a faux layered card. I added a digital bow, one of the verses and have a cheery get-well card.
