Wow, look at me posting on a Monday. I had such a great crafty weekend with team Nonna & Rory that I could not wait to get home from work today to post some pictures. Not only was I working on my Valentine's for the work peeps I also helped Rory with her Valentine's for school. I had showed Rory Stampin' Up Monster Hugs and she thought they were so cute that she wanted to make them. After ordering them they arrived in no time at all and were even cuter in real life than in the picture. Now for many reasons our public school system likes a healthier style snack in lieu of chocolate or something sweet. They even send a list home. Most people step outside of the list but, hey who am I to break rules at my age! We like to use pretzels for valentines. So we came up with an awesome way to use our Monster Hugs with a box of pretzel sticks. We had a lot to make and Rory was off on an over-night so I thought it would be best to prep all the parts for her so that she could focus on assembly when she got home on Sunday. It worked out perfect. Here is a picture of the kit re-make I set up for Rory:
So when Rory got home we set out to complete all of her Valentine's for school as I have a super busy work week this week and I was thinking if we did not get them done it might be a problem. Here are some pictures of Rory along the way and our completed Valentine's. Rory did an awesome job!

Hello!!. I was reading some info about printing digital papers (I have being searching for an answer like crazy but haven't found clearly yet) and you wrote you've use neenah 12x12 card stock to print the digital papers on your hp wide format printer. So, I tried to guess you had the same printer as I do, hp 7500a. I'm new to scrapbooking. I'm wishing to print them as well.
ReplyDeleteCould you give me some advice from your experience with this printer?. What paper to use? 80#, 110#?. Other person advice me to better get a laser printer or send it to print at some place, but I want to know how are the possibilities in doing this kind of work with this printer (7500a) so I don't make bad investments.
I have read A LOT but is still a lil confusing trying to get an answer that do not let me lose a bunch of money. I will really appreciate your help.
But the way, I read in other post you've invested in refill system. Where I work we have the same printer and haven't being the best option to go. Has its problems on the go. If I may, I could say you need to keep the head clean and take it off if you're not using it everyday. Maybe this can do the trick in taking care that the color go like they're supposed to. Also doing the maintenance. In other hand, you can go back to original cartridges, they would work well as new.
Btw, I really love your ideas. Simply great!!
Hi Elizabeth, I wrote you a long reply and for some reason it did not publish. So to be brief, I do have and use a 7500a and have problems with it on and off. When I print my scrapbook pages I bring them to either walgreens or walmart to be printed because I can't seem to get the quilty of color from my HP printer. I do print all my scrapbook paper from my home printer using my HP. I use Staples cardstock (110 lb) white and HP presentation matte for all my printing. I print all my projects through CraftArtist2 using the "send as bitmap setting" To be honest I do throw out a lot of paper due to quality issues. The after market ink I buy is from www.inkproducts.com and I like the color and quality of their product. I hope this helps. Thanks for visiting my blog and good luck with all your print projects.

Hi Lysa,
ReplyDeleteI've been playing catch-up on your projects! Love the Valentine boxes (both versions) and WOW, hasn't Rory grown up all of a sudden!!! She did a fantastic job of her Valentine boxes....they are soooo cute :) AND a great job of the banner! She's definitely a chip off the old block lol Takes after her grandma I'd say. Great to see you back crafting regularly again.
Hugs xx
Hi Lynne,
DeleteSo great to hear from you. Hope all is warm on your side of the earth. So much snow here in Jersey and as you can see Rory and I have been happily playing in the craftroom. She has grown and I don't know who is more scared me or her Mom,Dad or Grandfather! So glad you are checking in and I hope all is well on your end. Happy Valentine's Day!
