Ruby Tuesday 1 Year Anniversary Celebration Giveaway!!!

So... my son is a stinker butt.  I took pictures of my giveaway and he was playing with the camera and deleted them.  lol I'll have to take those pictures again tomorrow.  Gotta love 4 year olds.  lol

So... anywho, this giveaway will be going on until February 14th.

Here's how it works.....

Every Tuesday that you comment on (including this week) from this week until the 14th will give you an entry for the draw.

Thanks to everyone for their support this past year, I can't believe it's been a year of sharing God's word with all of you through these digi stamps.  Thank you to my designers for the wonderful cards and projects you have made.  I am truly thankful for all your creations.

Blessings!!!!  Can't wait to see what this year has in store for all of us!!!

Hey hon ~ I'm so sorry that I haven't gotten back to you yet on your comments.  Things have just been crazy around our house and I got a little sidetracked.

With the scriptures I do on scrapbook max, I use the Captions button (it looks like a little "a" right beside a big "A") and I type in what word I want in it.

Then I try on a font and scroll through them until I find the one I like and want to use.  SBM comes with a lot of fonts but a lot of the ones I use I've downloaded.  I'll add some links at the bottom of the places I frequent quite often.

I play around with different sizes until I get the effect I like.  It's a lot of work but it's also a lot of fun once you've done it a few times.  After I am done, I print it out big (usually 2 different scriptures per page) about 5inches height wise, and then I print what the font was and the number of how big the font is.  I'm really paranoid about losing them on the computer and not being able to make them again, so this little system works for me.

When I publish them, I go through a way too long process (but that's my ocd hehe), you can just publish them at "highest" and trim them in whatever word document you have.  I publish, plop them in SBM again and resize so that there's no big white spaces in between. hehe

** I also definately enjoy doing special requests and am thinking of making it a bi-monthly thing, I've been getting lots of requests for custom ones, so stay tuned and leave a comment of what you'd like and I'll make it up at some point.


My favourite Font Sites!!!!

kevinandamanda.com (I use these fonts A LOT!!!!!!)

1001freefonts.com

Hope all this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions, pop your email into the comment, I won't publish it but I can email you for more support.  (((hugs)))

Crayon Wreath For Aizen's Teacher

I just finished making the crayon wreath for Aizen's teacher for Christmas. I got the idea from this youtube video and thought I'd try it out. It's SOOOOO cute. He is in a community classroom which is specifically for autistic children, so I found this really sweet autism awareness apple and knew I had to use it.

Gotta give some credits...
little bear digi stamp is by bugaboo stamps
teacher sentiment is by tlc creations

It was a lot of fun to make. I had to redo it b/c Aizen got into it and tore all the crayons off. I was not pleased but I can giggle about it now. Now I just need to put it in a HIGH-ER place where he can't see it.

This sentiment is so true about Ms. Hay.  She has so much enthusiasm working with these boys.  She is always cheerful and is well trained to do very creative things with them to get them learning.

Made a cute chalkboard and Melody thought it needed a piece of chalk!! lol, thus the little white piece of chalk at the bottom hehe

Love bugaboo stamps and this is such a cute little bear that is perfect for this wreath.

Books For Sale

I have some educational books for sale.  I'd love to get these out of my house.  They are all in excellent condition and geared around the Kindy-1 level.  Check it out over on my other blog.  Hope everyone is have a great 1st day of December!!!!!

ShellySue ~ Answer to your comment question. =)

Heyas!!! When you download the file it will be in a compressed file.  The front off the file should look like it has a zipper on it. 

Right click on it and select the option "Extract All". 

Go through the prompts and save it to where you would like on your computer, I always plop mine onto my desktop so I remember to deal with them.

 It will then show you have two files, the one that looks like it's zipped (and can go into the recyling bin if you like) and a regular looking file.  Click on it and your digi stamps should be there. 

Let me know if you have any other questions hon.  (((hugs)))

My Christmas Cards Are Done!!!!!!!

They're finished!!!!   I had so much fun making my Christmas cards this year.  I decided to go with a twisted easel card.  I wanted to go with non-christmasy colours that go together.  So here are the ones I picked.  I think they turned out really cute.

The little heart christmas tree is from Meljen's Designs.

My pink cards.  I matched the inside heart with the heart on the tree.

Close up of the front of the card.  I did a light blue accent on the snow area.

The inside sentiment.  Our precious little Ruby is always added to our cards, it's a little way to remember my little girl and keep her memory alive.

Purple set:

Blue set:

Red set:

Yellow set (I've nicknamed this set my bumblebee set hehe):

Green set:

I also do custom Christmas cards if anyone needs anything.  Just leave me a comment and I'll work with you to get the perfect card for you.
