Thank You..Aloha..Mahalo

I just wanted to send out a big Mahalo to the Kim family for giving me this beautiful basket of goodies! I was so fortunate to help them design their son's 1st B-day invitations. They dropped off this basket last week as a 'Thank you'.

I'm really glad they liked the invitation and I heard the party was lots of fun. Brennan's theme was Sesame Street, so we went with the vibrant primary colors for the invitation. Isn't he such a cutie? I love the fact that in the photo, his index finger is pointing to signify "1". We decided to go with the baby characters which are so adorable and fitting. Matching RSVP cards were also included.



















I had a lot of fun designing the card and I feel so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to be part of Brennan's milestone. This job has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding...
thank YOU all for the opportunity.

P.S. - I haven't ripped into the goodies yet...don't know what I'm waiting for. It just looks too pretty to unwrap. =)

Digi 101 Class Photos

Happy Monday everyone!! I just uploaded photos from our Digi 101 class on the left sidebar. Enjoy!

Digi Know?

Digi know that resaving JPGs over and over again will cause the quality to degredate? I sure didn't, but I learned this today from the talented Claudette San Pedro who taught our Digi 101 Scrapbooking class today @ Pineapple Cove. We were so lucky and fortunate to have her come teach. She did an amazing job. Thank you so much Claudette for taking time out of your schedule..I can't wait for the next one!!

We were so fortunate to have Mindy Terasawa donate her Monkey Do Kit which everyone received a copy of. We also received a template from her Moss Scape Quickpages which was used as an excercise in class. Here's my finished layout I made of me and my sister. Everyone says we look like twins...really? cause I don't see it. =)

























Working on the layout excercise, we learned about layers, how to use quick pages, different tools within PSE, how to drop shadow, erase parts of a photo without deleting another image and how to save our digi layouts for printing. PNG files were explained as well as other file formats like psd and jpg.

I forgot my memory card at home, so I'll have to upload photos of the class tonight to the sidebar. I learned so much today and had lots of fun with the girls, thanks again Claudette!! Until next time...

These butterflies are an example of a custom die that was cut using our die cut machine. I simply cut one out of black cardstock and one out of Kaiser Craft DP and mounted onto a frame I got from Walmart for $2.50. I love the elegance of black and white - this is on display at the store, it's so pretty IRL.
