One of the new Free digital downloads for National Digital Scrapbooking Day is Enjoying Everything Kit. I am thrilled with the soft colors of this kit and dainty embellishments! The weather is getting cold and winter storms are about to begin but this kit reminds us that Spring will indeed come again.

The dog got me up at 2:00 a.m. needing to be walked and I couldn't get back to sleep. So I decided to get this card made for today's blog post. I am delighted at how quickly it came together. The background is Wisteria Wonder card stock and I recolored the bow with Wisteria Wonder. All the other elements are part of the kit.

I hope you are enjoying Stampin' Up!'s week-long celebration of National Digital Scrapbooking Day. Check out www.mydigitalstudio.net for the most recent happenings.

Until next time…blessings,

One of the things my dachsie, Little One, loves to do is see what is in my pocket. She sticks her nose in and digs around until she gets ahold of the kleenix then excitedly pulls it out or maybe there will be a dog treat for her.

When you give one of these Petite Pockets as a gift, the recipient will likewise be excited to see what is in it. The contents could be a necklace or bracelet wrapped in a piece of tissue paper. They could be a gift card or perhaps even just a love note. The excitement will be there to see what is in the pocket no matter the contents. This is a very quick and easy gift wrap and a perfect way to wrap a small flat gift.

The tag on the top Petite Pocket was longer than what I needed. What I did was to cut out the whole tag using the Apothecary Accents die. Then I repositioned the framelit with the tag inside the framelit and the part I wanted cut off being outside the end of the framelit. Does that make sense to you?

October 29th was an exciting day at Stampin' Up!. Almost all the stamps and wheels were 15% off. This was an unprecedented sale! Those of you who took advantage of the sale to get some of the stamps on your wish list, THANKS!

Now it is the first of November and Stampin' Up! has an awesome hostess benefit running Nov 1 – Dec 16! When a workshop (or single order for that matter) totals $450 or more, the hostess can choose a whole set of Classic Ink Pads for FREE. This includes the Subtles, Brights, and Regals. The Neutral stamp pads are not part of the promotion. Contact me to schedule your workshop right away while I have room on my calendar. A long-distance catalog order would also qualify for this promotion so gather up your friends, collect orders from them and send them in to me. If you need more catalogs to share, let me know.
