Here's another fun project, but the photo here stinks because there was too much glare on the coffee mug. Anyway, I found these mugs at Hallmark. I've seen them before in other places but they had a good deal on them when I was at Hallmark so I got several (more on the deal later...). The mugs have a removable insert so I made my own insert using Heather Roselli's super cute digi kit at SSD called "Be Happy". More info is here.
Here's a better picture of the insert before I put it in the mug.
After I printed out my design, I traced the existing insert onto my printed page and cut it out to get the right size and shape. Really easy, plus I can make many more of these and change it out whenever I want.
Oh, and here's the info on the coffee mug deal, they are $8.95 at Hallmark (until Father's Day) with your Hallmark Rewards card. You can get the card free online and print it out instantly right here.
And no, I don't work for Hallmark (LOL) just passin' on a deal...
Here's something else I did yesterday, this was a quick mini album for SSD. I LOVE this cute little digi album kit from Mandy called "Nerdy Girl". My daughter's teacher this year sent all the students home with a CD on the last day of school that had pictures from the whole school year. There must have been 75 photos on that CD and it was the MOST AWESOME thing ever!!!! Such a great idea!!! Anyway, I used the photos from that CD to make this. The digi album is all pre-designed so all I had to do was pretty much drag my photos in the photo spots and print. The album was designed at 8x8 so I changed my printer settings to print at 6x6 to fit the BasicGrey "Quarter Pint" Album I used for this project. Here are a few pages:
I added a few traditional embellishments (flowers, ribbon, buttons, etc) to the pages after I printed them.
I photocopied some of her school papers at a reduced size to put on the backs of the album pages.Well, that's about it for now...I'll be back soon!

Girlie I knew you could do layouts, you just had to find the digi way. These are so adorable, and you dd is such a cutie.
When my dd was in first grade, her teacher did that photo on a cd for the entire year, and it was the best thing ever. It made me feel like I could recap what she did during her 1st grade experience. Her 2nd grade teacher did something like that too, but forget the 3 rd grade teacher, this has been the year from hell, and I am so happy that this year is over with and hopefully next year when she is in fourth grade, we will have a much happier year, and a nicer teacher. crossing fingers. yikes sorry for rambling, but it has been some time since I made a visit. It has been super busy here.
Love all your projects, such talent!
