May 2, 2012 | My Digital Studio, Scrapbook Pages |
It’s been hot here – I think we went straight to summer – high 80s and sun, no rain, my new plants out front are not happy – they need some relief. So because it is so hot I’m posting a cool scrapbook page – the sledding adventure from January 2011 when we had our big snow storm. I created this page with My Digital Studio – a neat feature is that you can change the opacity on your pictures and the rest of the elements too – I did that with the larger picture on this layout.
I missed posting yesterday when the new downloads came out – I’m catching up….
And awesome pirate party ensemble – my boys are too old for this now but we did have a pirate party when they were younger. And look at the Fifty Nifty Kit – I see that as a must for school projects and for traveling – I wish we had that when the boys were working on the 50 state projects in elementary school. And what’s cool is each of those state shapes is a punch so you can fill it with paper or a picture!! I see lots of potential with this kit.
Have a great rest of your day!
Apr 30, 2012 | Cards, Flight of the Butterfly, Pocket Silhouettes, Retired List, Thank You |
It’s time to bring back some creations with the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and the coordinating punch. Both are on the Retiring list – and I really love butterflies so I hate to see them go. Two cards for my class tonight have butterflies on them and I seem to use them all the time. These are some old posts from my blog over the past few years. I also included Butterfly prints which coordinates with the same punch. And some other retiring products on these cards – the Eyelet border punch, Pocket Silhouettes stamp set, and Funky Four. I know it’s a big list and lots of good stuff is on it that we won’t be able to order again – so hurry before you favorites are gone.
Have a nice day!

I love this butterfly idea that I saw at Leadership with the Hat Pin from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini catalog. This is my second card using this idea. I also used the new Framelits – the labels collection – Love them!
So here is a quick list of what I used on this card –
So Saffron card base – stamped half with En Francais background stamp with Soft Suede ink
Crumb Cake Seam Binding
Framelits Labels – Early Espresso, Very Vanilla (stamped with Apothocary Art) – color the stamped image with So Saffron Stampin’ Write marker, sponged with Soft Suede
Beautiful Butterflies Die – cut one from Pool Party card stock and one from Attic Boutique Designer Series paper. I used the 1/16 inch punch to put a hole above and below the smaller butterfly and stick the hat pin through the holes. Add a string of Rhinestones over the center of the small butterfly. Tie a piece of Linen thread around the top of the hat pin. And the butterfly with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Occasions Mini Catalog is ending soon – April 30th!
Have a great day!

Some things to note –

Apr 24, 2012 | My Digital Studio, Scrapbook Pages |
You have probably noticed that I scrapbook pretty randomly – I actually love that I am going back and looking at older photos. And remembering different events of things that we have done over the years. This is a layout from a few years ago when Ryan was playing tennis and his team made it to the State Finals. It was his first time at the state finals and I think the same was true for probably his whole team. It was a fun weekend trip and I made sure to take action photos. The problem with action photos is sometimes they run right out of the picture!
This layout was from Heather’s Online My Digital Studio class – by the way she has started a second class but I haven’t had a chance to create any of those projects yet – in fact I still have a lot of catching up to do from the first one. I think I got about 20 pages done from the first class. I have however been using My Digital Studio almost every day. I am working on some gifts for the graduating seniors in the band.
So back to the page. Let’s see if I can remember what I used – well punches for sure – circles, square stretched into rectangles, scallop border. Oh and the alphabet punches too for the title – I filled them with color but was able to add a mat to them since they were punches. I even filled one of the circle punches with a photo. But you can also change your photo boxes to be circles and ovals using the photo shape button.
The designer paper I used I believe if from the Noteworthy set. It’s been a while since I made this page and I am trying to remember.
Colors are So Saffron, Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. There are strips of Crumb Cake – rectangle punches behind the journaling so its easier to see. The font is called CK Painterly.
As you can see this was July 2009. Ryan isn’t currently playing any tennis in the summer and fall it conflicts with Marching Band and he doesn’t want to play in the winter. Plus he got to an age where there wasn’t a team in our neighborhood any more – not sure why but for some reason there is an age gap in the teams around here.
And it’s Tuesday so we have new digital downloads from Stampin’ Up! – here is a peek –
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 Tea Time II Kit.
And awesome pirate party ensemble – my boys are too old for this now but we did have a pirate party when they were younger. And look at the Fifty Nifty Kit – I see that as a must for school projects and for traveling – I wish we had that when the boys were working on the 50 state projects in elementary school. And what’s cool is each of those state shapes is a punch so you can fill it with paper or a picture!! I see lots of potential with this kit.
