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.

Croptoberfest

On Saturday I went to Tillsonburg with one of my bestest friends Jacquie, and her mom, and our friend Jen. We started at 9am, and we scrapbooked our little hearts out. I was only able to complete 4 double layouts, so 8 pages in total. That’s with pictures and journaling completed. It was hosted by a friend of theirs, and it was great to see so many ladies there. There was about 50 of us there. They had lunch for us, which was delicious, and door prizes, and snacks, music, and lots of great conversation.

Let me share with you 3 of the double layouts I made.

This one was made with Tempting Turquoise, Very Vanilla for the journaling. Summer Sun and then some Designer Paper, which was the Razzleberry Lemonade.

Old Olive, and Autumn Traditions Designer Series paper, as well as the Inspired by Nature stamp set. The frog is an actual picture we took in Cuba.

This was a very basic page, I used Very Vanilla for the 12x12, then I took the flower petals from my dinner and put them on with adhesive, I should have used sticky strip as they are starting to fall off. There is also Real Red for the photo mats, and then I sponged the edges of the page.

So, there you have it, 3 different double layouts, with 3 completely different designs, and feel. I hope that you enjoyed them, as much as I enjoyed making them.
If you’re interested in joining my Scrapbooking Club the next one will be starting in November. There only needs to be 8 people.
