CK Scrap & Play - a really cool event!

I just got back from the Valley Forge CK Scrap & Play with my good friend Maria Pane.  We had a wonderful time!!!  If you ever get a chance to go - do it!  Really cool classes, lots of free goodies, both in our registration bags and in door prizes.  We certainly received more in product than we spent on the registration fee.  In fact, I won a Cricut Expression!!!  SO COOL!!!  I've never won anything like that before!  The CK staff were amazing - so friendly, so helpful and they taught great classes.  Lisa Bearnson gave a wonderful keynote about putting joy in the journey, there were many moist eyes in the room when she finished!  Overall, a great event!  Here is a picture of us at the end of the second day, it was almost midnight and we were happy & tired.

Our tablemates thought this was a representative picture of us: Maria working on something and me laughing!  Check back later, when I'll be sharing the projects we made.

Enjoy,

Love Sprinkles Heart Book - Inside Look

As promised, here are the inside pages of my love book.  I'm sure it's going to be fun looking back on this a few years from now!  That's the fun of scrapbooking, you record a little bit of yourself to share.  This book took less than 1/2 of a Love Sprinkles Scrappin' Kit and one On Board Heart Book.  The scrappin' kit made it so fast and easy!  Click on any of the pictures to get a larger view of the page.

 

Let me know if you would like to make one for yourself!

MDS Calendar - Janaury

I had so much fun going through my pictures making our 2010 calendar in My Digital Studio.  It was so easy and so much fun!  Here is the January page from January 2007 when Tai Shan was still a baby panda.  He was so cute!  MDS is so easy to use that this page only took minutes to create!  It has certainly reinvigorated my scrapbooking!

 

I'd be very happy to demo this great software to you!

A Quiet Day at Home

My favorite chair also happens to be Moon & Shadow's favorite chair.   They were enjoying a nap in the sun, so I took a quick picture and created a quick page in My Digital Studio.  10 minutes, start to finish!  I love My Digital Studio!  It helps me create quick, spur of the moment scrapbook pages that  I normally would never have gotten around to!

Created in My Digital Studio.

10 Minute My Digital Studio Scrapbook Page

I LOVE our new My Digital Studio (MDS) software!  It is so easy to use!  Here is a page I did that literally took 10 minutes to create.

 

Yes, these are my fur babies!  They are 14 years old and still doing quite well for senior citizens!  This page was so quick to put together in MDS.  I used one of the layout templates, dropped in my pictures, set the photo mat options.  Added the header border which I created, and used the Cute Cats digital stamps that come with MDS to create the bottom border.  Added my journaling.  Done is less than 10 minutes!  So much fun!  If you want any more details, or want to learn more about My Digital Studio, just let me know!

Enjoy,

Welcome!

This is an exciting time of year for rubber stampers - the end of the current Stampin' Up! catalog and the impending NEW catalog.  I thought this would be the perfect time to start my blog!

Here is a little brag book I created to hold pictures of the important men in my life - "My Guys".  Believe it or not, this is made from the Bag w/Scallops Big Shot die.  There are a lot of creative ways to use the Big Shot dies differently than what they are designed for.


Supplies: Good Morning Sunshine Designer Series Paper, Pacific Point card stock, Kiwi Kiss card stock, Kiwi Kiss Corduroy Button, Designer Hardware Jumbo Grommet, Big Shot Bag w/Scallops die, Stampin' Up! Billboard die.

  It holds 8 pictures! I love this little book!  I can think of so many ideas for this:

• a brag book to keep in your purse
• a succession of school pictures
• "my favorite things"
• you could perforate the inside pages and use them for coupons
• you could make the book ahead and have a kids class to let them fill the inside for a Father's Day gift

Contact me to learn how to make one to hold your treasured photos.
