Yes, this is my second post of the day!  I told you yesterday that this was going to be a busy week and I'm lovin' every minute of it!  Welcome to day 2 of The Queen's Royal Court Hop featuring A-manda's Creation Digital Scrapbooking Kits.  You should have arrived here from Kassidy, if you just popped in to see me, you'll want to head over to the start at The Scrapbooking Queen! The fabulous thing about digi kits is that you can use them digitally or you can print them out on paper for cards.  I was so surprised how good the patterns print and I have a super cheap printer.  Can you imagine if you had a better quality printer, just how pretty it would be!

For today's project, I made a birthday card...get it... {HB}

Welcome to the The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Court Hop with A-Manda Creation!  You should have arrived here from sweet Kassidy's blog.  If not head over to the Queen's blog for the start, you know you don't want to miss a thing!

Today's project is alittle different from my typical project...

Isn't this monkey adorable!

Recipe:

A-Manda Creations Digital Paper Kit ~ Sweet Monkey Kit

American Crafts Cardstock, Stampin Up paper

EK Success Scallop Border Punch

ribbon, pearl

So here's what I did to make a paper card using digi items...

Photo Shop Elements 9 to open up and size pattern to paper and the monkey element.  Then print on to white cardstock.  Then I just used the paper as anyother paper.  The biggest tip I can give you, is to make sure that you start your project in PSE with a resolution 300.  So simple and so cute!  If you've never tried digi kits don't be afraid, there are so many videos on YouTube to help you through it!

A Brief Note! Sneak Peek Day 2!

Hello!  I'm sorry this is a little late...I had a family emergency...everyone's fine.  When I finally got home, my new toy had arrived...my Imagine!  Got it set up late last night, but decided to make today's project with it this morning.  So here it is, my very first project with it and using Scrappy Mom's Stamps new release, Quirky Quotes...

it's more vivid in person, had to take picture in a different place than usual.  I also realized I need to recalibrate it, the cutting is somewhat off.
