#1 Fan Scrapbook Layout & New Downloads!

Hi!  The boys are out of school for Christmas break!! Yay - that means no alarm clarks and more time together!  This makes me happy!  While they're sleeping in this morning, I thought I'd share a super quick layout I did in MDS.  (My Digital Studio)


Isn't this cute?  I used the Game Day Photobook Template so it took me about 15 minutes.  All I did was insert my photo, text and added the Flag and Football stamps.  So easy!  I matched the red color in one of the boys jerseys - love that feature!

Make sure and check out My Digital Studio here.  If you haven't tried it, you can download a 30-day free trial - but be prepared to get hooked on MDS!  It's so fun and so easy - and such a great way to make a dent in those hundreds of photos stuck in your computer!!

Have you seen the new downloads that were released on Tuesday!!  (Click on the title below to view in my online store).




I'm looking forward to sharing My Digital Studio with my local friends and customers in January!  Join me for a free MDS class where we'll create a scrapbook page together.  



Don't forget to check out the Clearance Rack Blitz.  Lots of awesome deals - including stamps!!  You can shop My Online Store 24/7 and have your goodies shipped straight to your door!   :)

Thanks for visiting and happy creating!

Showing our Support


The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School yesterday left me feeling hopeless, sad and frightened.  I've worked in a Kindergarten classroom and I have two children of my own.  I cannot imagine what the victims went through yesterday and how the survivors and loved ones will endure the days ahead.  My heart goes out to them.  I know it's not much, but my family will be making handmade cards to send to the school.  I wanted to share this with my readers in case you want to do the same.  Feel free to share the image above on your blogs, Facebook pages, etc.

Hugging my loved ones tight,

Vintage Christmas Tags

I wanted to join Stampin' Celebration with a little mid-monthspiration for December's challenge.  I made a few gift tags for Christmas.


I love the vintage feel of this first tag.  It's kind of hard to tell in the photo, but I used the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz on the bird to give it some sparkle like the one in the inspiration photo.


And I love playing with the Seam Binding ribbon.  Here, I pulled a single strand down the middle of the ribbon to give it a gathered, "crinkly" look.


Products Used:
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, First Edition DSP
Stamps:  Petite Pairs
Ink:  Crumb Cake
Embellishments:  Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons, Twine, Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Crumb Cake Seam Binding, Crochet Trim, Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz
Tools:  Big Shot, Two Tags Die, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Bird Builder Punch

My next two tags were pretty simple using the Stocking Die.  I love how you can cut two sheets of paper at once and have coordinating pieces for the trim on the stocking! Too cute!


I embossed the stockings and added snowflake stamps using the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stamp Pad (#126857) from the Holiday Mini.  This ink pad will be carrying over into the Spring Catalog!  Yay!



Products Used:
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Old Olive
Stamps:  Jolly Bingo Bits, Dear Santa (retired)
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stamp Pad
Embellishments:  Crumb Cake Seam Binding, Crochet Trim, Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz
Tools:  Big Shot, Stocking Die, Bird Builder Punch, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Houndstooth Embossing Folder

Here is the inspiration photo for this month's challenge.  


You have until the 25th to play along and link up your project on the Stampin' Celebration Blog.  Come join us!!

Don't forget that tomorrow is the very last day to take advantage of the Ink-redible Promotion.  Receive a FREE set of ink pads with a qualifying order/workshop OR when you join Stampin' Up! and purchase the Starter Kit.
