My they grow up fast

My niece's 4th birthday was last week, and boy has she ever grown. I used the MDS to capture some of the day. I found that she doesn't quite understand how the birthday party is suppose to go, and she opens the gifts, but doesn't seem super happy about them. She makes me giggle all the time though. She had a lot of fun with her Uncle Derek, and that made me happy.

Jordyn got a great toy called Tag, I was going to get that for her for Christmas, but good ole Aunt Stacy beat me to it. That's fine by me, I'll buy her the books that go with it.

I can't believe how much my little girl has changed. I know growing up is a good thing, but I'm not sure I'm ready to lose my little girl yet.

Thanks all for stopping by.

Missing the Summer time

I have been enjoying the beautiful weather we've been so lucky to experience these last few days, and it made me miss the summer time. This is one of my favourite days as always, it's spent with my sister and niece, and we can't forget Tito. In this digital scrapbook page I used Bashful Blue background, then used the Textured Background stamp, I changed the opacity to very low. The stamp sets are All in the Family, and Enjoy Life.



I love my niece so much, that any time I get to spend with her, is a great day. I have to thank Mehgan for bringing us all to the beach that day. It was great.

Happy Halloween

I made this digital page from pictures of my garage on Halloween. I wish my flash had been turned off so you could see it better. I have been playing around with it to see how to use it better, and I think I'm getting the hang of it. Apparently it's a bit harder when you don't do all the courses through Stampin Up. I guess I'll have to do those. You have to export as a jpeg before you can post it.

So, let me know what you think. I try to get better each time. I used real red background, then did a textured stamp design. I used a stamp set that has escaped me. Sorry it's 11pm, and I'm tired. I'll update tomorrow.

First Digital Scrapbook page ever!

Well, here it is. I hope it looks okay. If anyone knows how to use digital studio for Stampin Up please give me tips and I'll heart you forever.

I used Certainly Celery for the background 12x12

I used a textured background stamp in Basic Black ink

The stamps are from a retired set called Mans Best Friend ( i think that's right)

I was able to journal right on the page I used comic sans one of my favourite, I wish Stampin Up! would make it into a stamp set. I'd buy it for sure.

Now, it was hard to do, because I'm so use to having all my card stock in hand, and my pictures and all my stamp sets, so I'm use to being able to have it all in front of me. The MDS (my digital studio) has you going into different tabs, and clicking on different stamp sets, but you can only load one set at a time, that's frustrating at first, but I'm sure with practice the pages will get better.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on my first go at it.

Procrastination is my name!!

Where do I begin? Well, monday night we had our Quarterly meeting for the Stampin Up demonstrators in London. We were allowed to bring guests with us, so my friend from work Anne came along. We got to learn a few new things, and do a make and take, which I love, and have the directions to recreate.

The best part though was if we brought in food for the food bank we would get a raffle ticket to win the new Stampin Up My Digital Studio software for their new line of digital scrapbooking and card making. I honestly didn't think I had a chance in heck, but whatever. I won it!!!!! I could hardly believe it. I unfortunately was too sick on Tuesday or Wednesday to use it. So I was hoping to play with it tonight.

Well, I walked into my scrapbook room and it looked like a hurricane had hit it, it was awful, and cluttered, and there was no room for creativity. So, I started cleaning.

Tito wanted to help. I couldn't disappoint him, so he guarded the back part of the table while I picked up garbage.

I am going to try and make a digital scrapbook page out of this picture, and if I can figure out how to use it, I'll post it on line.

Check back for any update.

Let's get a Jump on Christmas

Okay, so this evening as I was leaving Walmart there were FLURRIES, the other f word. So, what better way to embrace the yucky weather than getting together with a bunch of your girl friends, or a few strangers that will be your friends and start your Christmas Cards?

On Sunday November 8th I am having an 8 for 10. That means you will come to my house, and make 8 christmas cards and the cost is $10 if you register before Oct. 30th, and $15 the day of. There are 4 designs and you'll make 2 of each design. If you want to make double, than let me know when you register. To register please either call me 519-639-0573 or email me here I am so excited to share with you the new stamp set that I got, it's called Serene Snowflakes. The cards will all be made with it, and they are all completely different.

I did this so that you could see that you don't need a million different stamp sets you can have just one, and make a million different cards. Here are just 2 of the 4 different cards we'll be making. I don't want to ruin the surprise for the other two we'll be making.

I really hope you enjoy these cards, and contact me. Please register with me before October 30th.
