Hey there, Bleeps! It's just another Manic Monday...sing along! Well, I had a very productive weekend. I worked in the studio the entire time on lots of projects, concepts, and ideas. This card was inspired by CPS Sketch 138, but I have tweaked it a lot to fit my embellishments. I wanted to use a variety of of ideas here and the first is Savitri Wilder's handwriting! She posted a free download to her "happy" sentiment and I was so excited I had to use it. I opened the file in CS4 and created a brush of the sentiment. Then, I used it to create my sentiment on the tag. To print, I tested it first on regular print paper, then adhered the tag to the print paper and re-printed it! VOILA! I did a little digi-crafting! I then combined it with some stamping by stamping BABY! So, really this is my very first hybrid card! I'm so excited because I am actually learning Photoshop, which is one of my ultimate goals in life, okay maybe not in life, but I really would love to be a whiz at using it!

The stamp set is really great, I like the different options.Hi,
Your designs are really nice... something different from the usual seen out there. I love the sleigh ride stamp set... They sure would make the cutest Christmas cards :)

Very cute! Love your interpretation of the sketch.
Very cool! I'd also like to learn more about photoshop. Just not enough hours in the day for all of this good stuff.
This is soooo beautiful Ashley.. I really love it..!!
Thank you so much for sharing..!
This is so fabulous! You should enter it into the Practical Scrappers challenge - to use Office Supplies.
Wonderful baby card! Look all the elements you pulled together.
So quick question for you, since you mentioned PhotoShop... are you taking a class to learn the ins and out of PS? Is it online?
Learning how to use Photoshop (I have CS3, I think) is something I'd like to do at some point as well so that I can finally use more than just crop and very basic edits.
