Apr 17, 2012 | My Digital Studio, Scrapbook Pages |
It’s Tuesday – which is My Digital Studio download day – so like I said last week – I’m hoping to post digital projects on Tuesdays.
This page is about “Our Day” – our anniversary day that is. Last summer we went away to the Tennessee mountains for our 22nd wedding anniversary. These were our “self portraits” – balancing the camera while we ate lunch in the park on one of the picnic tables. This was another layout that I created for Heather’s online My Digital Studio Class – the link to her blog is on my right side bar if you want more information about her online classes.
Many of the elements I used on this page are – Walk in the Park II Digital Kit. I also used Baker’s Twine, Beautiful Butterfly punch shapes, My Friend stamp brush set.
Here are todays newest downloads -7 total.
You can see the downloads each week on my website – in the newest downloads section. You can visit the MyDigitalStudio.net website and see today’s post about the Keep This Memory Photobook template – this one looks like a must have for my collection.

I’ve been trying to post a My Digital Studio project on Mondays – so it could be My Digital Studio Monday – but today is Tuesday and I realized that Stampin’ Up! is releasing new My Digital Studio downloads every Tuesday so maybe I should be posting them every Tuesday instead along with a reminder of the new downloads.
The page above has an old picture from 2002 when Kyle had his 11th birthday – that was 10 years ago and yes this year he will turn 21 – OMG! Am I really old enough to have a 21 year old – apparently so……
The digital elements on the page are from the Piece of Cake – Sale-A-Bration CD. The stars in the background are from Extreme Elements.
And since it’s Tuesday Stampin’ Up! has released some new downloads –
You can see the downloads each week on my website – in the newest downloads section. I have some ideas for the Hexagon Punch. You can visit the MyDigitalStudio.net website and see today’s post about the Grad Party Ensemble.
I also sent out an email about the My Digital Studio club – I’ll be having a Make-Up class at my house the next 2 Mondays for anyone that missed the February class. Contact me for the details.
Apr 9, 2012 | My Digital Studio, Scrapbook Pages, Stampin' Up! Events |
I was excited to get to attend the Manager’s Reception at the Stampin’ Up! Leadership conference this year. Remember I went back in January. At the reception we enjoy a night of entertainment from the Chinese Acrobats. I think I already posted about that earlier in the year but today I wanted to share a My Digital Studio page that I created.
I used the logo from the event for one of the photos. The layout idea is from Heather’s MDS class. The long skinny photo frames worked out well for the photos from the event since everything was tall – all of their acrobats where up in the air. The guy doing handstands on the chairs. The girls that were balancing and twirling tables and statues, and then the guys flipping through the hoops – some amazing acrobats – I’m not sure how the can be so flexible and so strong and have good balance.

Here is a fun scrapbook page created with My Digital Studio.
The rainbow background is made by stretching the pennant punch shape across the page. Copy and paste until there are enough to fill the background and color fill with the colors of the rainbow. I know I still remember Roy G. Biv – that’s the colors of the rainbow – I just had to translate them into Stampin’ Up! colors.
R = Real Red
O= Pumpkin Pie
Y = Daffodil Delight
G = Old Olive (I think Lucky Limeade would have been good too)
B = Tempting Turquoise
I = Island Indigo
V = Rich Razzleberry
and I have one more Melon Mambo.
This idea was one that Heather shared as part of her My Digital Studio online class. You can visit her blog (there is a link on my sidebar) for more about her online classroom.
These are lake pictures from last year and all the bright colors of everything around us. Enjoy!
Mar 30, 2012 | Big Shot, Designer Series Paper, Occasions Mini 2012, Scrapbook Pages |
At my March Scrapbook class we made two layouts – one was the bunny layout I showed you yesterday and the other was this fun Happy Birthday layout featuring the Sweet Shop Suite from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.
This was a fun layout that I saw in a scrapbook magazine and I wanted to adapt it to my Stampin’ Up! products. I used Whisper White for my background and started by drawing a grid on each page. I used a ruler and my Stampin’ Write marker to draw the grid because originally I planned to just use the marker lines as part of the layout. But then I decided to use the Baker’s Twine instead. To do this I put a very thin line of the multi-purpose liquid glue (the one in the green bottle) right on top of my marker lines and then laid the Baker’s Twine in the glue – it dries pretty quickly. I used Calypso Coral for my layout but we have all this year’s in-colors in the twine so any of them would have worked that match this paper.
Here is a drawing of my grid on paper -you should be able to click on it and see a bigger version. I tried to mark what goes in each spot – Designer paper, picture, title, journaling…
The Designer Paper is the Sweet Shop – it has some embossed patterns which add some fun texture to this layout.
I also added stickers from the coordinating designer stickers – these make fun little accents on this layout. The stamp set I used is the Take a Spin set – I stamped the birthday spinner image and cut it into triangles – then added a colored circle and one of the Sweet Shop Jelly Bean brads to the point before putting it on the page. I add a little banner using punches from the pennant punch. The Fashionable Hearts Embosslit Die and the Happy Birthday Strip die (for the title) finish up the page.
Now it just needs some fun happy birthday pictures on it. Enjoy!
Mar 29, 2012 | Big Shot, Designer Series Paper, Easter, Occasions Mini 2012, Sale-A-Bration 2012, Scrapbook Pages |
So today I have the Bunny Scrapbook Layout that I mentioned yesterday. I used the same bunny idea from the box and added a body and put it on this layout.
Isn’t the bunny so cute – I used the large Dresdan die petal to make the body – just trimmed it at the bottom of the page. Remember yesterday I said I used one of the large petals to punch the bunny cheeks, well here I also punched the paws and the tail from that same piece.
Along the bottom of the layout I rolled the Every Egg Stampin’ Around Wheel – I used an Old Olive ink cartridge because that was what I had on hand. But Lucky Limeade is the green in the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper that I used on the page. Since it is wheeled on the Crumb Cake background it matches just fine for me.
I used the Circles #2 Die and the Big Shot along with the 3-1/2″ Circle Die and cut various circles out of the Designer paper and just scattered those along the top of the page. Added some more of the squished paper flowers and a Happy Easter flag.
Now I just need to add some pictures on the Poppy Parade panel that goes across both pages.
When Kyle was little I took him once to see the Easter Bunny – he was at our local grocery store and the kids could sit on his lap and get their picture made. Kyle screamed like you wouldn’t believe – I have that picture somewhere – it was before this digital age so I’ll have to find it. I’m not sure I ever took the other boys to see the Easter Bunny since it was so traumatic for Kyle that one time. I’ll have to look and see if I have any – they would be fun on this page even if they are from different years.
So have a nice day – it’s really pretty here again.
