My Digital Studio – Terrific Tuesday

Hand-Penned Holidays copy

Stampin' Up! released some terrific My Digital Studio downloads today. There are five that have a Halloween theme and there is an autumn themed designer series paper download. For me, the best download is the Hand-Penned Holidays Stamp Brush Set. I love the elegance of the script writing and fell in love with the stamp set in the Holiday Mini. As a matter of fact, it was the first thing I ordered. I combined this stamp brush set with the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper download to create this lovely Thanksgiving card…well…it could be used as a thank you card in general. I used the color picker to select colors from the designer series paper to fill the Perfect Label punches. I filled the Five-Petal Flower punch with the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper 3. Then I double clicked on the punch, moved the paper fill around until the five-petal flower was in the punch, enlarged the flower until it completely filled the punch, and placed it on the upper left area of the card.Click here to see and order today's downloads.

Supplies:
My Digital Studio (118108)
Hand-Penned Holidays Stamp Brush Set (127612)
Spice Cake Designer Series Paper digital download (125610)
Perfect Label Punch (127340)
Five-Petal Flower Punch from Punch Shapes (118853)
3/8" Ruffled Ribbon – Pool Party (127349)
Victoria Crochet Trim Ribbon (122158)

Thanks for coming by to visit today. Come back again soon.

Until then….Blessings,

My Digital Studio Monday – Thank You Teachers!

Back to School MDS Monday-001 copy

Our church in addition to devoting a portion of the worship service to remembering and praying for the victims of 9/11 and their families honored and prayed blessings on the teachers and staff of the school on Prince of Wales Island. Since the theme for today is Back to School, I felt it was fitting to create a Thank You card for teachers.

I used the digital form of the retired Play Date Designer Series Paper. One of the beauties of My Digital Studio is that the downloads never retire…yay!!! I used two sizes of the Perfect Label punch, filling one of them with Daffodil Delight and the other with Basic Black. The greeting comes from the School Days II Stamp Brush Set. The greeting has an apple as part of the stamp brush. I wanted to be able to color the apple so I pasted the apple from the School Days stamp brush set colored with Cherry Cobbler over the original apple. While it is quite gratifying to hold a stamp in your hand, ink it up, and then stamp it on paper, the ability to make a stamp smaller and to resize punches really creates added value to My Digital Studio and to digital creations. If you haven't yet given My Digital Studio a try, why not??? Click here to order it right now and get started. I am here to answer your questions and give you help. For those of you who already have My Digital Studio or who use a different digital design program but want to create this card for yourself, just click on the names of the downloads I used to find them in my online store.

Supplies:

My Digital Studio (118108)
Play Date Designer Series Paper – Pattern 2 (121438)
Perfect Label Punch (127340)
Satin Ribbon Digital Download (121063)

Quick Birthday Card – Easy Events

Easy Event Birthday
Yep…easy is the word for this Easy Events stamp set. It has a stamp for each of a variety of occasions. It is one of the stamp sets we were given at convention. I also used the Petite Pennants Builder punch for added accent. I used two strips of Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper. The patterns are the two sides of the same sheet of paper. This card came together very quickly. That is….if you remember to reverse the second strip of paper before putting adhesive on it, LOL! I had to get out the paper again and cut another strip. :o}

My Digital Studio – Terriffic Tuesdays

Halloween Card-001 copy
Well, here in Alaska it is still Tuesday…LOL! The new My Digital Studio downloads released for purchase today feature a Fall theme. There are a couple of Halloween stamp brush sets and a couple of different Halloween themed designer series papers. There also are a couple of Thanksgiving and general Fall kits as well as an alphabet stamp brush set. Click here to see the new downloads and order them. They are located on the right-hand side of my online storefront.

Now I like to usually purchase one of the new downloads so I can create possibilities for the download for you. I am not really big on Halloween but felt I shouldn't completely ignore the holiday so I ordered the Pick Your Poison Designer Series Paper – digital download since several of the designs would work well for other times. Since the designs of these papers are quite intricate, the download takes quite a while. I just wanted you to know so you wouldn't try to download it just before leaving the house for an appointment. I had to cancel my download at least twice because I didn't have enough time to get it completed. Yes, you can stop a download and then download the file at another time. To order any of the components I used to make this card, just click on the name of the item to take you to my oline store.

Supplies:

My Digital Studio (118108)
Pick Your Poison Designer Series Paper digital download (125609)
Forever Young Stamp Brush Set (123145)
Torn Edges Stamp Brush Set (118846)
Chat Room Occasions Stamp Brush Set (125159)
Punch Bunch – owl Stamp Brush Set
Circle and Square Punches from Punch Shapes (118853)

My Digital Studio – MDS Monday

Camping the Easy Way-001
First, Happy Labor Day! I hope you are having a safe and good time with family and friends. Our theme for today is Labor Day but I drew a complete blank on what to create for that theme. I know many are taking this last weekend of summer to go camping so I thought I would do a camping theme scrapbook page.

When we were young and first married, we enjoyed camping out with a tent and campfire. As we have aged, we have come to enjoy our creature comforts so much that we don't want to give them up even for a weekend. So we have graduated over the years to a 5th wheel trailer so we can 'camp' in comfort. This is a picture of our current truck and trailer the day we became proud owners of it. Eight years later the trailer is still serving us well.

I used stamps from Under the Stars Stamp Brush Set and Happy Camper Stamp Brush Set for this 8" x 8" scrapbook page. The background is from Green Tea Designer Series Paper. To order the supplies to create a scrapbook page using your own photos, just click on the items to be taken to my online store.

Now it is your turn to share how and where you like to go camping by leaving a comment!

Supplies:

My Digital Studio (118108)
Green Tea Designer Series Paper (125769)
Happy Camper (126033)
Under the Stars (127416)

Until the next time you visit….

My Digital Studio – Terrific Tuesdays

Today, I started back to work at school so posting for Terrific Tuesdays will have to be later in the day than I would like. I am doing well just to get the time before school to see what the new My Digital Studio downloads are and don't have time to do any creating with them. Now that I have more time…here is what I created with the new Kindness Matters Stamp Brush Set. 
New download 8-30-11-001 copy

I love the font of the sayings and the crocheted doilies are right in style. The download calls them rope but they sure look like crochet to me. I added the Vintage Overlays Stamp Brush Set  texture 6 to give this card a shabby chic look. Click here to see the new downloads and order the ones you know you need! As always you can also click on the product name in the supplies list to place them on your order.

My Digital Studio Monday – Favorite Technique

MDS Monday 8-29-11-001

Our theme today is to share our favorite technique. This was a hard assignment for me because whatever technique I am using at the time is my favorite. However, I decided to share the technique of making a photo as the background of a picture. Another technique I used on this 8 x 8 scrapbook page was using the color picker to choose one of the sunset colors to fill in the Simple Letters Punch I used for the title of this page.

I am blessed to have a beautiful water view here on Prince of Wales Island in SE Alaska and the sunsets are so glorious. I love taking pictures of them! Using My Digital Studio makes it so easy and quick to incorporate those pictures into a scrapbook page. I would love to help you enjoy the fun of using My Digital Studio to preserve your digital photos. Click here to order your copy of the program. I hold My Digital Studio classes on the third Thursday of each month. Contact me if you are interested in more details. As always, my online store is open 24/7. You can order in the middle of the night in your jammies when you can't sleep…LOL! Just click on the items below to be taken to my online store.

Supplies:

My Digital Studio (118108)
square punch from Punch Shapes (118853)
Simple Letters Punch (127166)
