www.debammerman.com - New Blog

Hi everyone, I am starting a new blog today! I am not sure if I will keep this one or not, my new blog address is http://www.debammerman.com/ I am not very good about updating, as you know, but I will try to do better. Here is a page I did yesterday from my son’s martial arts class.

I am so proud of Matthew for continuing on with his classes. He started this many years ago, he was in the first or second grade, and now he is in 7th grade! Part of his requirements for this semester was that he had to help his instructor in the classes before his own. The first class has little kids in it, about the age Matthew was when he first started, as I watched, I remembered… He started this when he was this little! WOW! They grow up so fast, it seemed like only yesterday!

I used my Martial Arts kit for this page, it can be found in the store at Deco-Pages.

I don't know if you have heard about the photography challenge at Deco-Pages, but I would love it if you would come and check it out! This month we are doing a photo a day challenge. Every day you have to take at least one photo, and create a page with it. Because December is such a busy month for everyone, I am extending the dead-line for submission of your pages until January 15th, but by that date, you have to have 31 pages done.

If you hear about this challenge and have not been taking photos all month, I will allow you to play catch-up... but you must post to the thread in the forum on the day you intend to start, so that I can watch for your pages to come in. Here is a link to the Photography Challenge at http://www.deco-pages.com/ ,

Here are a couple of the pages I have done for the challenge so far...

We love to tease Matthew, and always tell him we are going to get him Barbie Dolls for Christmas... Today there was one on the kitchen table when we got home, and Matthew saw it, and I think his heart skipped a beat! LOL! He is so much fun to tease! Jeff picked these things up to give to the Toys for Tots program tomorrow.I used the December Color Challenge Starter kit by Lori Staton for this page, I thought it was just perfect! I love the way the page came out, Thank you so much Lori!

Now that Matthew is getting older, I have desided that he needs to learn how to do some things, so it was time to pass along the secret recipe for our family meat balls and sauce... some day, his future wife will thank me! LOL!

I used the quick page by Burkhart Scrapzone from the Cabin Fever Mega Kit for Club Deco, which is available for download all through December for our Club Deco Members. If you are not a member yet, this is just one great reason to join! Michaele, thank you so much for the Quick Page, it worked out great for this page... I did rotate it.

Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Twist! Yummy

December 1st ALREADY! Can you believe it! I don't know where all the time has gone, or that it has been two months since I last wrote in here. There just are not enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do!

I have been doing alot of scrapbooking and have even created a couple of new kits for my collection since I last wrote here... Today, I have one of my favorites to share with you... I really love the way this color challenge page turned out! Doesn't that look yummy!

I used the starter kit for the Color Challenge at http://www.deco-pages.com/ by Lori Staton for this page. This kit is only $1.99 for the month of December! And you can earn add on kits for it if you do the color challenge! So be sure to check it out!

I am hosting the Photography Challenge at Deco-Pages this month, we are doing 31 photos and pages for this month. I am extending the dead-line for the challenge until January 15th to give a little extra time to complete your pages, because I know this month is very busy for everyone... Here is the page I created today...

The reward for completing the photography challenge for December is that you will get to choose any one kit from my collection that you would like to have, and I will give it to you for free, AND I am going to create a new kit before the end of the month that I will give to you in addition to the kit of your choice! This is a wonderful way to get that camera out on a daily basis and capture the moments of your life, to concentrate on what the Season means to you, what traditions you treasure... and to look back on in the years to come! So please do join us for the challenge! :)

I am also having a sale on my newest kit - Shimmery Holiday, which is available in the store at http://www.deco-pages.com/ now. You can get this kit for 50% Off, between now and December 31st. The coupon code is: HoHoHoMC

As a bonus, I have included a sheet of the Angel gift tags you can print out on your 8.5 x 11 printer on card stock and use as gift tags under the tree! :)
