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.

I hope you are having a great weekend and that you have a Happy Easter with family and friends. I’ve been getting ready all day. The casseroles are ready to assemble and bake tomorrow, the ham is in the fridge, the brownies, cookies and treats are made, the tables are set, the eggs have been filled and the baskets are ready. I have laundry to finish and final cleaning to do and I’ll be all ready.
But for today I have one cute little purse to share – we made these last night at my stamp club meeting.
This is the new Petite Purse Die – a sneak peek from the new catalog – you can get it now during the month of April and then it will be available in our new catalog starting June 1st! These are so cute.
I made this one as a little Easter purse. The purse is cut from Crumb Cake card stock, then I cut an extra front panel and ran it through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Textured Embossing Folder and glued that to the front. I cut the back and flap out a second time with some designer paper – the new Summer Smooches Designer Series paper – also available as a sneak peek in April – I used the piece that had the Tangerine Tango print. The purse is assembled with a little bit of sticky strip on the two side flaps.
The handle is cut along with 
purse and I glued it to the back side of a piece of Tangerine Tango scalloped polka dot ribbon. Then attached the ends inside the purse with a little piece of sticky strip.
I added a “Happy Easter” tag to the handle and a little button to the front flap. Finally I stamped the little bunny from the Every Bunny stamp set on some Naturals White card stock using black StazOn ink and Watercolored with an AquaPainter. The bunny is Crumb Cake and the scarf is Daffodil Delight. For the egg I stamped the image on a scrap piece of the same designer paper and cut it out and glued it on top of the watercolored image. The cut out bunny is then attached to the front of the little purse with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Inside the purse is none other than a yummy Peanut Butter Egg!
And I checked the bird house this morning and we have babies!
See TWO babies ready to eat!
There were 5 eggs and mom was watching me so I only took a quick peek and got this pictures showing the 2 babies – I don’t know if the others hatched yet. I’ll check again in a day or so. These are the chickadees.
And one more picture to share with you today. In my craft room I have two dogs beds for the dogs but they are different and they both always prefer the one the other one is in. So on Friday Magnolia was in the dog bed and all of sudden Aspen hops in and lays down and she gives me this look – “Mom, look what he did…….”
I hope you enjoyed the cute little project and the fun pictures. Have a great Easter Sunday and I’ll be back next week.
Apr 6, 2012 | Big Shot, Cards, Easter, Sale-A-Bration 2012, Watercoloring |
I created another Easter card using the Everybunny stamp set.
I used a strip of the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series paper from Sale-A-Bration. Tied a piece of Pool Party Seam Binding around the card (Crumb Cake). I used my Big Shot and the Scallop Circle and Circle die to cut the focal point. The stamps were stamped in Black StazOn ink and then watercolored – except for the egg – I stamped the image on another piece of designer paper from the same pack and cut it out and layered it over the stamped egg on the circle. I call that paper-piecing. Another little trick for you on the mushrooms I used a Poppy Parade marker to fill in the dots and the stripe and then used the Aquapainter to spread the ink from there to the rest of the mushroom which created the pink color.
Have a Happy Day!

Look at these cute bunny cupcakes!
Fran brought these to my last downline meeting – such a cute idea. The cupcakes are baked in some decorative paper liners. Then the Stampin’ Up! punches were put to good use and the bunnies were born. Here is a close up…
Enjoy!
