Mothers Day card

I see that link didn't work either....ROFLMHO

Try this.....LOL

That is so pretty, Marilyn! I will have to do that! I was thinking that it should go in an album!

Thanks! M-C

You welcome M-C......Now to get back to clearing up the craft room chaos...LOL Paper, paper everywhere and not a place to scrap......ROFL

Marilyn

Marilyn, What a nice thing to do! And thanks for sharing it with us! M-C , you can afford to be so proud of your son!! (littlle Andy Griffith there) LOL

I understand that completely! I have paper, paper all over my craft room too and hubby just told me yesterday that he really likes it when I am upstairs scrapping when he is home so that he can more easily drop in to talk and hug! So I'll have to figure where to set up. I've put a couple of tables in our master, since the cats don't come in here, but I'm not sure how to proceed! I too like to be closer when he's home, but I'm afraid I'll have two messy scrapping areas...LOL! I'll have to figure something out that works without being too cumbersome. Ideas are more than welcome!

M-C

Wow Marilyn that is a very nice treatment of M-C's card. I agree with you M-C it would look very nice in an album.

Sabrina...I didn't DO anything special:o) I only modified the dpi and printed M-C's digital card out on photo paper. The LO is all just placed then photographed so I could give M-C an idea on how to turn her beautiful Mother's Day card into a traditional LO. I had a great time doing it rather than clearing up the messy scrap room....ROFL

Marilyn

Thanks Lynne.... but it is just placed...not actually stuck down :o) I think the card and sentiment were just beautiful so should to be kept in an album.

Marilyn

I think the whole thing you made should be stuck in an album. Absolutely beautiful. Great idea for saving other cards in a creative and beautiful way.

Wow Marilyn! You're right, that would look great in an album. I had never thought of printing out digital cards. The kiddos sometimes get e-cards from my siblings and this would be a great way to keep them. Great idea Marilyn!

The way I look at it is...scrapping is all about preserving memories and it doesn't really matter what format they are in. Now that so much of what we receive comes in electronic or digital format we need to be a little more inventive to utilize them for albums. It is nice to keep the originals and write them to CD but how often do you go back and look at them on a disc. Print them and scrap them is what I say...LOL

Marilyn

Glad I gave you another idea LOL Save them Deb and increase to 300 dpi so they print better quality...print out like a 6 x 4 and use several on a page just as you would with "normal" photographs. I like the idea since lots of people now use e-cards rather than normal cards.

Marilyn

LOL Marilyn, I am with you on cleaning up my messy scraps after a big session of creativity! I use any excuse I can get by with. I usually just close the door! LOL

I am sooo with you on that. I scrap everything... J.T. is gonna have all of his first cards that Grandma J sends him for every holiday. I have all mine, and Nick has all of his. Trent looses his, but he just does not understand everything... Although he did say that the cloth that was in my mother's day gift would be awesome on a page.... I was in shock that he would be thinking anything about scraping.

That looks great!!!
