Emma's Birthday thank you cards

For Emma's birthday she had a "Spa Party". The girls had a blast having manicures and pedicures. We even did a facial made of yogurt and bananas (it was yummy). For her thank you cards I decided to make a photo card using My Digital Studio. It was quick and easy!! I simply had them printed by Walgreen as a 4x6 photo, Emma wrote a short note on the back and all the girls have a great memento of the night!

Sneak peak for May's Card Kit and Sketch Challenge

One of my favorite blogs is called Clean & Simple. I get a lot of great ideas from there, including layouts. When I did my survey a few weeks ago I found out that a lot of you struggle with layouts so I'm going to add a weekly sketch challenge to my blog. For now we will be using the sketches from Clean & Simple.

But before it does I want to remind you of a few promotions so you don't miss out.

One is the 2-step into Spring. Click Here for more info about this promotion and all the others going on now.

Awash long note

I haven't made a 3 x 6 card in awhile. I forgot how much I liked the shape of them. This was another make n take at Kristin W. workshop. It is super easy. It's basically a one layer card. The strip of striped designer paper is on the inside of the card, you can see it because the front of the card is scalloped. The two step stampin' is so easy...one of my favorite techniques.

I want to thank all of you that took the time to fill out the survey. It really helps me know how I should spend my time better in order to serve your needs. Here's a couple things I learned...

1. 87% of you are card makers, with other a smaller percentage doing scrapbooking, gifts and others. So I will continue showing you mostly cards :)
2. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the busiest night of the week, those are the two nights I usually offer classes so I'm going to look at changing that.
3. 80% said they struggled with layouts when making projects. I'm going to add a weekly layout challenge. I'll be giving you more info on that soon.
4. On the top of your wish list is the BigShot and the new Colors. I'll be looking into ways to make those things more obtainable.

Thank you again for taking the survey. I'm always open to feedback and will probably be doing another survey in a few months.
