Ok, so I am so excited to show you guys this. Seriously.
Check it out:
Lola approves. 
Pretty cool right? All I did was select my pics, choose a mug size, select a theme, added Lola’s name and - ta-da! - I have a mug. It’s a good sized mug - nice and sturdy too, which is great considering how much I love my coffee in the mornings.
So what do you think? Give the mugs a try and send me a pic! I’d love to see what you make!
Who doesn’t love winning an award? I certainly do. Yours truly happens to be the recipient of the 8th grade Best Smile award. Those braces-wearing years really paid off!
Of course, Best Smile is pretty meager in comparison to Kodak’s latest achievement. Popular Photography Magazine awarded them two POP Awards for Photography’s Outstanding Products. The twenty-five award winners were selected from hundreds of products. How cool is that? Even cooler? One of the awards was for Kodak’s Custom Creations Software, which just happens to be powered by RocketLife!
That beats Best Smile by leaps and bounds. And doesn’t require the use of orthodontic contraptions either.
Tomorrow is Halloween and since I don’t have any Lil’ Sheas running around (yet), I tend to dress up the next best thing - my Pug, Lola.
I’m not even going to tell you how many treats I had to bribe her with to get her into this getup…
I decked out this fun Halloween theme with a few Placeable Graphics. You can tell that I am kind of in love with the Placeable Graphics. Oh, who am I kididng? I’m totally in love with them.
Julie, a fellow RocketLife-er, must have had the same idea - she made a Halloween collage of her cat, Lydia Rose:
Be sure to check out the cool Harvest and Halloween themes (and Placeable Graphics). I’d love to see what you make with these themes! And if you have any questions or want to submit some of your handiwork, please shoot me an email.
My dear friends Katie and Ed got hitched earlier this month. It was a pretty action packed wedding - the bride and groom showed off their mad ballroom dancing skills (or would that be skillz?), I caught up with old high school friends and maybe even, uh, caught the bouquet. Plus there was champagne and dancing and cake eating and all kinds of other good wedding-y stuff.
I snapped a bunch of pictures at the event and thought they would make a pretty cool collage that I could make for the newlyweds. Kind of like a fun post-wedding gift.
So here’s what I started with:
And, with help from RocketLife, here’s what I made:
So how did I do it? Keep reading to find out!
Ahem, drum roll please…. Welcome to the new and very fabulous RocketLife blog!! Cheers all around! Champagne glasses clinking! Applause! I’m Shea. And I’m kind of craft challenged. And I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only of you out there who considers themselves to be somewhat creative, but lacking in follow-through. Or maybe you just simply don’t have time to be the divine creative being that you wish you were.
If you’re like me, you have boxes of photos that have never made it into an album. You have a digital photo collection that continues to reside on your memory card or somewhere on your hard drive. Maybe, in a brief burst of inspiration, you ordered some prints somewhere. But it probably took a long time and you probably never did it again.
That’s why I’m here (and why I hope you are too) - to discover how we can actually make use of the photographs that we take. And maybe, over time, all of the weddings and baby showers and first days of school and senior proms will make their way out of our respective computers (or shoeboxes in the closet) and into something tangible.
This is like scrapbooking for the non-scrapbooker. For those of us who don’t have the time to devote to special kinds of glue and die cuts and stickers and anything labeled acid-free. For those of us who want to make something beautiful, but don’t want to spend hours doing it.
I hope that you will join me here to share ideas and help inspire that lil’ creative bug that resides inside each and every one of us. Let’s see what kinds of cool things we can do together
