Nov 1, 2012 | Big Shot, Cards, Christmas, Create with Connie & Mary, Holiday catalog 2012 |
So how was Halloween? I was worried that there were no trick-or-treaters. When the boys were little we all went out around 6 and I thought that was what everyone still did. But no one was out at 6, or at 6:30 – it was 7 before I had my first two little trick-or-treaters. The rest sprinkled in here and there until about 8:30. No where near the number of kids we used to get. I think our end of the neighborhood doesn’t really have any little kids anymore – we have all lived in our homes for ever and our kids are either grown, in college, or well into high school. So I have candy left! Actually I gave out pretzels too and while my boys thought that was a bad idea – let me just say most of the kids were more excited about the pretzels than the candy – really!
So on to this weeks Create with Connie & Mary Thursday challenge! This week we have a cute sketch challenge. When I saw it with the three little elements on the front it made me think of the Merry Mini’s stamp set in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. So that is what I decided to use for my card.
Mine is a 4-1/4″ square card with a layer of Festival of Prints Designer Paper from the little pack in the Holiday catalog. If you want more ideas with the same stamp set be sure to see the cards that Mary created for the new Card “Create”ions class. Details are below.

Happy Halloween!
We made this SPOOKS scrapbook layout in my last scrapbook class – all ready for adding Halloween pictures. The layout idea is from a layout that Tiffany Bauer had on her blog.
I have a couple of kits available for sale too. All the cut pieces, punched pieces, and die cuts plus ribbon. The kit does not include stamps, ink, adhesive or stamped images. Kit price is $10 for local pickup or add shipping if it needs to be shipped to you.
Happy Halloween – the trick or treaters should be coming soon.
Oct 30, 2012 | My Digital Studio, Scrapbook Pages |
This week Stampin’ Up! is celebrating Digital Scrapbook Day – yep one day wasn’t enough so we are celebrating all week. You can get free downloads, 50% off Digital kits and have fun creating with My Digital Studio 2! Monday morning I downloaded my three free downloads – A Split Second Designer Template, Days in December Kit, and Enjoying Everything Kit.
I started right away and made a couple of creations using the A Split Second Designer Template –
This is basically the template with a few changes. I added an extra photo box with a frame and then matched the little elements from the left page. I added more journaling lines – but didn’t need the full block so I cropped it (great new feature!). I changed my title and used the coloring feature to make it two colors (LOVE that new feature!). And I changed the background on the right page. I added all my pictures – it was done very quickly.
But then I wanted to use the fun elements from this download for something else so I made this
The chevron background paper reminded me of our convention bags we got this past year. Cindy was so excited to get this bag. I recolored the paper for this page using the Summer Starfruit. Add some frames around my picture and then some flags behind it. A little journaling and a title and done!
You can get the A Split Second Designer Template free this week. Plus the other two. If you don’t have My Digital Studio 2 – you can download the trial version and use it free for 30 days. Or you can use the elements in this download in other applications too. To get your go to my online store – www.monika.stampinup.net – and if you live local to me come join Cindy and I at the Panera Bread in Towne Lake tonight – Tuesday at 6:30 – we’ll be having a Digi Crop and playing with My Digital Studio2. See you there!
