Another Sample – “Things I Love”

My-Project-12-007This is another My Digital Studio template page I created for my CH Morning Live appearance. Do I admit that I literally created most of the projects you saw on the show in a couple of hours the night before? (hmmm I guess I just did! ROFLOL)

Anyway, love this 'grungy' template (from the aptly named "Downtown Grunge Photobook Template") and frames. I dragged and dropped the images into the photo boxes to create this "Things I Love" page. I added the heart shaped punch to the layout to go with my theme and moved the circular punches around a little bit. The font is actually my own printing! MDS uses whatever fonts you already have installed in your computer. I generated this font at Your Fonts so now I am able to make my digital pages even more "mine".

I'll be sharing more of the projects from my appearance over the next while, so please be sure to come back & check them out!

Happy Groundhog Day!

MDS-projectI'm celebrating Groundhog Day by sharing Valentine's Day Projects on CH Morning Live…the plan is for me to be on air around 8:20 so hope you get the chance to catch it!

This is a project that I will have with me to display. I absolutely loved how easy this was – another template that I simply dragged & dropped my photo into using My Digital Studio.

Stamp Space Makeover – Stampin’ Up! Style

I would personally LOVE a makeover of my stamping space (really, who wouldn't?!)  Well, at our annual convention last year, this demonstrator won a stamping space makeover!  (I _wish_ I had this space!) They shared this video at Leadership Conference (I know, are you sick of hearing about Leadership yet?! LOL). Take a look at the video below and see what Shelli and her family created.

Free My Digital Studio Trial – February 1st!

Tag-001As of February 1st, Stampin' Up! is offering a free 30 day trial of the My Digital Studio Express software! This is a great software program for digital crafting. I love working digitally – for one thing, scrapbooking is much less messy….and let's face it, most of my photos are digital and tend to live on my computer, where noone gets to see them (except me). It's a great way to create a number of cards as well – in the past, I've done my Christmas cards digitally and was able to include a number of photos from the year as a visual collage of my family's year. I'm planning on making a few books up in the near future as well. At left is a tag sample I made quickly using the Springtime DSP, scallop square punch and basic pearls.

If you're interested in trying out this software, please consider joining me at my FREE MDS101 class! The first one will be held on Friday, February 3rd at 7pm here at my place in Burlington. RSVP required. Please bring your laptop if you have one – I will walk you through the download of the software plus the basics of My Digital Studio. You'll leave that evening with your copy of the software plus information to get you started! If you don't have a laptop, you are still welcome to attend and look over my shoulder while we work. I will also be posting an online class in the near future for those of you not close to the Burlington, Ontario area.  In the meantime if you want to watch a quick video – check out my video tutorials page. The first video is one that I made using a free template that Stampin' Up! offered for Digital Scrapbooking Day!

Extreme Makeover at Stampin’ Up! Leadership!

Sometimes it's just a question of being in the right place at the right time…Through another demonstrator, we met a woman who was helping organize the Helping a Hero gala in conjunction with the taping of the final episode of Extreme Makeover – Home Edition.  She needed crowd fillers, and we were more than happy to help her out!
 Below – Ty Pennington and Meredith Iler (the organizer extraordinaire)

The evening was to raise funds for the organization plus celebrate the building of a home for a local wounded war veteran.  All the designers were there, Lee Greenwood was there to sing as were the Four Tenors (originally the Ten Tenors from Australia).

Oh – and just in case you forgot this was a paper crafting blog….here's another cute sample shared by Stampin' Up! at Leadership – this one uses the Fashionable Hearts embosslit die for the Big Shot plus the Labels Collection Framelit die in the background.

 

 See, don't you wish you were a Stampin' Up! demonstrator so you could attend Leadership?!  Oh wait, you CAN be!! Contact me for more information!
