Another My Digital Studio

Here is a scrapebook page that I printed on my home printer using the My Digital Studio by Stampin' Up!  I am ordering a album from the up and coming "NEW"  Summer mini-catalog that will be releasing May 1--August 31. It is a 5x5 album, and I have designed this page of our new dog Roscoe.  I am going to be adding pages to this new album, featuring my workshop photos of the projects that we have made. A great way to show others what the My Digital Studio can do for you and your family treasures.  You can print professionally through Stampin' Up! print yours or

share with friends and family.

I even put it onto a cake board.

As usual it is so much fun to see everyone creating their own take on a project all using the same supplies.. it's amazing how they can all be different.. I learn so much from them. My friend Chris brought her daughter n' law and her granddaughter.. who was so much fun.. she really did a beautiful job, she won a prize which was a free workshop, and got so excited. I will be looking forward to working with them all again. Thanks Debbie for keeping us laughing and for all that came. What a great way to spend a couple of hours.

For any who missed, we munched on bagels from Bagel Thyme, fresh strawberries, yogurt, coffee, tea, and pomegranite lemonade. Oh, I almost forgot, CUPCAKES iced in green for Saint Patricks Day!

Quilt Challenge

This is a challenge through my quilt guild I belong to. We all brought 12 fat eights in red. then we exchanged them and had to come up with a project. I chose this table runner that I had gotten off of the "All people Quilt" website. It was a challenge for me, I had never done anything with a curved set in circle.. I liked how the pinks and reds blended, and I chose the blue print fabric from my stash, yep, I didn't go out and purchase a thing... Yeah! Each circle has a cordoroy button  from Stampin' Up!.

Went to a baby shower this weekend for baby girls. Made some cute hooded towels, receiving blankets, headbands, and of course a card.
The card, I used the new scallop punch, and stampset #113500 "Fun & Fast Notes", which is has so many possibilities.

Wedding card using # 115030 Lovely Letters,and the new scallop punches, and Butterfly embosslit #118138"Beautiful Wings", Texture folder #117335 "Perfect Polka Dots", this reminds me of swiss dotted fabric.. really shows up. Whisper white & black card stock.

Hi, I have been working on some new cards for my up coming workshop March 13. The workshop has two sessions, one at 10:00 am, the other at 1:00 pm. I have been getting ideas of what to do.

Christmas 2009-Handmade

Some Christmas pictures, I love the way my tree comes out, the old stuff, old ornaments from the past, especially those paper handprints the kids made in grade school, and the photo ornaments that they made too. And to top it off an angel that I made when we were first married..watching over us throughout the year

Christmas time. A wonderful time spent with family & friends. May the spirit of "Him" stay with you throughout the year. God Bless.

Hand made Christmas

Here are some photos of the things that I made at Christmas for my grandnephews and nieces.  I had so much fun making these. Fleece PJ's and these animal blankets to lay on..

The girls got fleece jackets, and cotton bubble skirts, with appliqued T-shirts, and these really cute soft teddy bears that I just drew out, cut, & stuffed.

Happy New Year..2010

Happy New Year everyone... Hope all had a great Christmas and New Year.. Christmas was spent with family, and unfortunately my mom going into the hospital Christmas Eve, she is recovering and should be home soon... I tell you, the best part of having little ones around the holidays, is just their sheer excitement of opening up their presents.. it's not really what they are getting, but just ripping into that paper.. and the looks on their faces.. We are so blessed to have grandnephews and nieces in our family, they have brought such joy back into our lives.. We are a blessed family.. My boys got to come home, for a short time..  just soaked them up while they were here. I have some new pictures of some things that I made as gifts during the holiday season, I will be posting the pictures soon.. And I can hardly wait to get out some of my new stuff from Stampin' UP! that is from the new MINI catalog, and the great Sale-A-Bration catalog.. so check out my website for new updates.. I also started a new part time job today, during tax season.. Lot's to learn, really nice people to work for. So the New Year is off to a good start, wishing you all Good Health, happiness, prosperity, and love for this New Year. May God bless you all!   (can't resist old barns, Murphy's Calif.)

Merry Christmas to All!

Here is my very first card that I have made using "My Digital Studio" by Stamin' Up! item #118108 $79.95.

Here we are with our Christmas Tree pop-up cards that we made at my Christmas Party.  It was the only project we made that night since it required a little extra work, but they all came out beautiful. We got to relax, eat, and visit.  This was a thank-you to my customers for supporting me during my time with Stampin' Up! I appreciate all that they have done for me and the friendships that we have made a long the way. Great company and some good laughs too!
