Cards and Scrapping

• Showing Signs of Life

  • Day Trip, originally uploaded by krisalis903. Ok, I PROMISE I’m still alive (seriously this time). It’s been a little exhausting these last… well, this whole year quite frankly. There are a lot of exciting things going on at work. First, we merged with this great company Splash Media in Addison. The merger took all of [...]

• Documenting the Moment

  • Moment, originally uploaded by krisalis903. Oh boy. Talk about getting back on the wagon. Here’s a digital layout of the photo I took of me and Izzie. It’s not a very flattering photo of me, but documenting the moment itself was just something I couldn’t pass up. The things I do for this dog. Supplies [...]

• A Dog’s Life

  • A Dog’s Life, originally uploaded by krisalis903. This is my first 8.5 x 11″ layout. After discovering that American Crafts designed their 12 x 12 albums to accommodate their varying sizes of sleeves (GENIUS) I jumped all over it and purchased a few different ones from Two Peas.

• Friends for the Long Haul

  • Friends for the Long Haul, originally uploaded by krisalis903. I made this image a long long time ago while scrapping with my scrap group and it’s been sitting on my desk since then. I didn’t want to throw it away but I couldn’t figure out what to do with it until now. My darling friend [...]

• Moving!

  • Moving!, originally uploaded by krisalis903. Well, no not really But I love making and sending moving cards when the occasion calls for it. Since I don’t have any kids, I had to come up with an inventive way of using this “kid-focused” kit and in the end I loved it! If you can’t see the [...]

• Feel Better Soon

  • I’m in the middle of one of those spells where I just feel uninspired. For this card, however, I saw a little spark come back just in time for the Jen Martakis Designs Rain Drops DigiKit to go live Life lately has been a little bit of everything. I just finished reading this book called [...]

• Spring Has Sprung

  • I never thought I would actually look forward to warmer weather, but here it is Last fall I planted some tulips and so far this is the only one out of the five that’s sprouted. An interesting note about this photo: while I was shooting, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. [...]
