Digital Fun

Looking at this card gives me a real sense of accomplishment! Soon after I received this wonderful gift of an iMac, I purchased Photoshop Elements 8. Not being a member of the "computer generation" I had no clue what to do with it, and for the most part, I ignored it. But then, Stitchy Bear, this weeks's sponsor for Stamping With the Dragon's challenge gave each of us a beautiful digital paper pack. So with a lot of perseverance I used 7 different elements from the paper pack and made this birthday card! It is 100% digital. I know there are loads of folks who scrapbook digitally and view it on the computer or email layouts to family and friends. However, cards are easy to make and all that would be required would be to hit the print button and fold the card. Done! Isn't it amazing what can be created with a computer!


My second card is Kelley Kid's Holly Fairy, also available at Stitchy Bear. Once again, my camera could not capture the metallic ornaments this sweet fairy is sitting upon. But one is green and the other two are red.

To participate in this week's challenge "Make it Sparkle", added your entry here, and wait to see if you have won five images of your choice from Stitchy's collection, Floppy Latte's collection or Kelly Kids' Collection.

Before you visit my fellow design team members of Stamping With the Dragon, please let me remind you about the Ear Trust card drive that is currently being held. All information for this worthwhile endeavor is available on my December 1st post.
