I have a fun page today for t he Memory Nest ! It lights up!  I'm super impressed by myself on this one.  I found some of my wedding photos that I never scrapbooked and they were tucked with this  really beautiful lantern paper. I cut out the lanterns and I started thinking wouldn't it be cool to make them actually light up?  When I got the sketch with the lightblub on it, I knew I had to make it work.  I don't have any in progress photos (pregnancy makes me lazy), but I used this Chibi Lights kit .  It's a bit expensive, but it is so much fun.  My kids think this is the coolest page ever.  It took two attempts, but I did get it to work.  My electronic/ circut knowledge is very minimal. If you have any questions, let me know!

I hope you enjoyed my week of cards!  Here is my last one.  I love the rainbow fishes.  I also made one with a narwhal that was mighty awesome, but I don't think I ever took a photo of it.  Bummer!

This birthday card was for one of my nieces.  It's very magical.  hehehe

Today I have a birthday card that was for one of my little nephews.  Enjoy!

Welcome to Tuesday's card.  This one is turned out to be one of my favorites.  The one donut is raised up for a little dimension.

I thought I would go and share this week some birthday cards that I have been making.  Sorry the photo is so poor.  I had to quickly snap it before I put it in the mail!

Happy Monday!  We survived a big storm this weekend.  The storm actually fizzled out tremendously.  Now all the leaves are off the trees!  I just wanted to share my layout for the Memory Nest.  This is the third background I made for this sketch.  My first attempt used gesso and glitter and makes for a fabulous winter page, but not so much for fall.  My second attempt I used different paper and when I went to water color on it, I got a big streaky mess.  So this is try number three!  Actually, the page looked really cool when I fist made it.  It was kind of like an abstract path going through the fall mountains.  I almost wanted to just keep it that way, but I didn't want to make a fourth background. I did put a real leaf on this layout.  I used this super stinky spray stuff that I use for my charcoal drawings to seal the leaf and hopefully preserve it.  If it ends up falling apart, then I'll have to find some ...
