Epic

 

I am sad that our My Digital Studio digital line is going to be discontinued so I wanted to share a page I made with it recently.  All the elements except for the vanilla stitching are from the Epic Day This and That collection.

 

You can still purchase downloads until the end of May (and of course you can use your own program as long as you want) and printing services are also being discontinued at that time. 

 

 

Best Year Ever Shower Card

 

You have seen a card that is similar to this one in the past, but I updated this version a little bit using the Best Year Ever (SAB 2015) designer series paper in the background.

 

The dress and hearts images are printed from My Digital Studio using the Project Life Love Story collection and the words are from Teeny Tiny Wishes. 

 

I added a piece of All is Calm washi tape and a silver designer button to complete the card.

Teeny Tiny Wishes

More Baptism Decorations

 

Here are a few more of the items I put together for the Baptism.  I put together a few other things too that I won't share because they have the child's whole name and some other information on them.

 



 

These jars were some I picked up awhile ago while looking for fun things to alter.  I put some mint candies in the bottom and hung a little banner and a shrink plastic cross (shrink dinks) in them.  The cross was printed with My Digital Studio and then cut out and shrunk down.

 

The tops of the jars were decorated simply with some circles, ribbon and buttons.

 

The sentiment in the one on the left comes from Blessed by God and each jar has the same thing inside.

 

Some more My Digital Studio goodies for the Hershey's kisses and these were punched out with the 1" circle punch and added with glue dots.

 

New Clothes

 

The Late Night Challenge for January is Snowflakes or Snowmen.  We haven't really had any snow here yet, which is unusual, so I didn't have any fun snow pictures to scrapbook yet, but I thought I would use some snowflakes in a My Digital Studio Layout instead!

 

I used the A to Z word press embellishments for the title and the Snow Burst brush stamp set for the background.  I just added a quick zig zag stitch and some journaling to complete it (super quick page!).

 

Hope you join us for the challenge this month!

 

Sunshine

 

As I get ready for a semi-annual scrapbooking retreat, one of the things I needed to do was make a couple sets of swap cards.  This is one of them and I will share the other on another day.  

 

The background is printed from My Digital Studio and the designer paper is in the collection called Modern Prints. 

 

I chose a sentiment from Ray of Sunshine and added a little bit of Watercolor Wonder designer washi tape and a basic hodgepodge clip to finish it off.

November Stamp Club

 

Time for another round of stamp club projects!  This time the cards are created mostly using the newest In Colors, one for Christmas and another get well.  

 

The layout this month is digital (which I printed for them) using some fun items from the Amped Up Ampersands digital kit.

 

I have also used the Chevrons punch kit collection to create the layout and an item from the Project Life Love Story collection.

 

Look like fun?  You can join us at any time (either in person or in the virtual clubs)!  Just contact me for more details and to get started!

 

 

Silver and Gray

 

This card is another example of using My Digital Studio and the Love Story Project Life collection.  After I printed the dress and hearts image, I stamped the sentiment and matted it on Smoky Slate card stock.  

 

The background is All is Calm specialty paper and a strip of Silver Foil Sheets.

School Days

I shared the first day of school pictures with you awhile ago because the signs I had the kids hold were made with My Digital Studio, but now I will share a layout using the pictures and also done with My Digital Studio.

 

 

I used the Back to School collection and there are two designer pages all ready to throw pictures into and add your journaling.  I made some very small changes, but essentially these are what Stampin' Up! has put together for us to make EASY pages.

 

All the elements of the pages are also in the collection as stamps, designer paper or embellishments as well so you can do your own thing if you choose.

First Day of School

 

Yesterday was the first day of school for my kids and I made some fun signs with My Digital Studio for them to hold during picture time.  I used the My First Day, School Days and Lemonade Stand collections and printed them on Whisper White card stock.  Next, I mounted them on Pool Party, Real Red and Basic Black.

 

One of these children is much less excited than the other two :)

 

My oldest thought it would be fun to take the picture below, he is my funny little guy (ok, not so little anymore when is he going into 7th grade!).

Class of 2014

 

Awhile back I promised to share the graduation announcements I made for our nephew this spring.  The decorations I shared here and here were made with the same colors and My Digital Studio Download called The Grad Life.

 

The announcements themselves were quite simple and quick to put together.  I used Pacific Point and Whisper White card stock along with some Gold Foil Sheets.  The flying hat (and I am sure there is a better, more appropriate way to say that!!) behind the wording was in Basic Gray, with much reduced opacity so it didn't take away from the information.

 

Simple and fun!

Science Experiment

 

Well, I sat down and completed a page using the Project Life photo pockets page and the Everyday Adventure kits including the My Digital Studio version.  I have to say I like how it turned out, but it took me a lot longer to put together than my usual pages, probably because I was over thinking too much.

 

I chose two elements that were done in My Digital Studio in addition to the kits that are ready to go. 

 

Generally, I like to have a lot of pictures on some of my pages (because I take way too many, LOL!) so I figured out a way to add 5 into this page.

 

I definitely need more play time, but will probably have to wait until after potato planting!

Live for the Moments...

This is another quote I ran across on Pinterest at one time or another and wasn't sure where I would use it at the time.  For this project, I went into My Digital Studio and used the Downtown Grunge collection to make the background, frame and tape before I added the quote to the middle. 

 



 

After printing, I cut it out and added it to a piece of Basic Black that I had stamped some Gorgeous Grunge images on with the Illuminate Glimmer watermark ink. 

 

The printed image is popped up with dimensionals and I took the glass piece out of the 8" x 8" frame.

The Grad Life Part 2

 

As promised, here is the second table decoration I played with using My Digital Studio and the Grad Life download.  Again, Pacific Point is the focus color and I mounted the front panel on Basic Black and then a Gold Foil sheet.

 

For the banner, I took some Watercolor Wonder washi tape and folded it in half so no sticky portion was showing.  I tied a little knot in each end and added it to the frame with glue dots. 

 

The pieces of the banner are added with glue dots and dimensionals over the top of the washi tape.  In the bottom right corner, I added another little strip of washi tape and a Pacific Point button.

 

Another simple but fun piece that would look nice alongside pictures, the cake or guestbook table.

The Grad Life Part 1

 

I recently made graduation announcements for one of our nephews which I will share sometime in the future, but in the process I started thinking about some table decorations in the same theme.  Today you will see one of them and tomorrow one more :) 

 

They are both based on a digital download called The Grad Life which I used in Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio program. 

 

I chose to use Pacific Point as the focal color on all the printed items and added some white, black and gold accents.

 

In the bottom of the jar, there are a few punched items (chevron border punch and itty bitty punches), some individual gold sequins that were made by taking apart the sequin trim, buttons, and cut confetti and diplomas and caps that were stamped and cut out.

 

I took two of the circles that were first printed and then punched (1 3/4" circle punch), put them together with dimensionals and added some baker's twine between them.  The baker's twine is wrapped around an antique brad that is stuck into the cork top of the jar so it holds it suspended. 

 

Finally, I used some of the same baker's twine and wrapped it many times around the neck of the jar and then tied a bow. 

 

It is a fairy simple thing to put together and you could really add anything you like to the inside or change the occasion idea as well.

Feed My Starving Children

 

My oldest had the opportunity to participate in a 24 hour fast in coordination with packing food kits for the Feed My Starving Children program.  He had a great time with his friends and apparently decided to pull an all nighter in addition to his fasting.  Needless to say he was a little tired when he got home!

 

I used the digital download pages called A Split Second and took out a few elements, then added a few hybrid pieces.  There are some chevron punches, some Gorgeous Grunge images, washi tape and essentials wooden elements in the mix.  Oh, and of course card stock - Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Basic Gray.

 

I used Hip Notes for the sentiments on the essentials wooden elements and added the Chevron punched pieces with rolled up glue dots.
