Meaning I've actually scrapbooked them, not that I've ditched them already LOL.
I used My Digital Studio to create this simple layout. Since I shoot with a digital camera, most of my photos end up staying on the computer (something I'm trying to change…). My Digital Studio makes my scrapbooking easy and do-able.
These are a few of my resolutions for 2011, and I combined them with a self portrait of myself. I'm participating in a "photo a week" challenge group, so this was a good way to incorporate a recent photo and recent thoughts. I used the Summertime Splendor Designer Series Paper download and the filigree brads. The DSP is beautiful on its own, so I decided to highlight the paper and not add to much else, other than a border around the photo and some drop shadows for dimension. This page took me about 10 minutes, tops. I love how I can whip out a page quickly…and save the project so that if I want to go back and "tweak" it, I can! Eventually I'll print it out and add it to my traditional scrapbook as well.
If you have any questions about My Digital Studio or digital scrapbooking, feel free to contact me or leave a comment – I'll do my best to answer!
My Digital Studio is such a great way to create quick, elegant and fun projects. Hybrid projects are a mix of digital and "traditional" paper crafting – the best of both worlds, in my opinion! Watch this video to see how to make a fun hybrid scrapbook page!

Come get some answers! I'm hosting an Information Evening Wednesday, February 23rd at 7pm, here at my place in north Burlington. If you are curious about what being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator involves, please RSVP and join us that evening!
I love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, and have found it a great way to supplement my income (and support my stamping habit…but that's another angle altogether LOL). Sale-a-Bration is a great time to consider starting your own Stampin' Up! business – please join me on February 23rd to find out more! If you can't attend that evening, or aren't local to the Burlington area, please email me and we can make other arrangements to chat. I have demonstrators in my group from all over Canada and would love for you to be one of them! If you want to check out some information ahead of time…..click here.
Hope to see you then!
Next themed class will be for Easter! Easter Blossom class – features these beautiful cards with a pocket portfolio to hold them.

Looking through some of my recent samples, I realized I've been a bit remiss in sharing them with you!
This is card made with the Framed Tulip Embossing Folder. I love my Big Shot and how easy it is to "make an impression" (haha) with the embossing folders. The L is from the Lovely Letters set, and the Designer Label punch was used on the Pink Pirouette cardstock. I liked the quiet effect of the solitary colour scheme, but used Stampin' Dimensionals for the monogram letter to make sure it stood out a bit.
If you've been thinking about taking the plunge and getting your own Big Shot, Sale-a-Bration is the perfect time to do so! It will earn you FREE Sale-a-Bration product! Contact me to find out more.
and all through the house, not a creature was stirring except for the excited Stampin' Up! customers & demonstrators who were waiting for Sale-a-Bration to start!
