My Digital Studio Calendar

I do have to say that I am loving this program more and more.  Each year I create a calendar for my family highlighting the past year with my boys.  My mom and mother in law have kept all the calendars from the past years.  This year I really got familiar with my digital studio and created a fun calendar as well as our Christmas Cards.  Once I get my computer back up and running I will try to post the Christmas Cards...until then here is the calendar we created!  It was a lot of fun to make!!!  We printed it at home on our printer and it came out great.  Stampin' Up! also prints them for you as well.

Out of the loop...

Wow! I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. I apologize to my readers out there. I will try to do better. I do have to say life is crazy with a homeschooled 1st grader and a 6 month old baby. They are cute though, not that I am biased.

Christmas Card Stamp a Stack

Join me for a stamping good time, November 27 at 10am. Take a break from crazy shopping times and stamp some Christmas cards for friends and family. You will get to stamp 10 cards, 2 each of 5 designs. Below are three of the five designs that will be featured on Saturday. Please email me or give me a call if you would like to join us!

This simple card features the Big Shot Snowflake Die! Thanks to Kate Mills for the awesome idea! Colors used are Baja Breeze and Whisper White.

This next card features one of our single stamps, Dasher. The background is embossed with our square lattice embossing folder. Colors used are Early Espresso, Old Olive and Very Vanilla.
Thank you to the fabulous stamper this idea came from...I don't remember exactly where I got the idea.

The third card featured is stamped with an old favorite Big On Christmas!
Colors used are Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler, my new favorite red!

I hope you can join us next Saturday for a fun stamping time!

Christmas Card Stamp a Stack

Join me on October 30th for a fun morning of stamping! We will be getting a jump start on Christmas cards. Cost for the class is $20 for 10 cards, 2 each of the 5 designs! Email me today to RSVP. All you need to bring is adhesive.

This first card was a fun one and copied from many who have done the same with the Sizzix Top Note Die. I love the greeting I paired with this fun little elf.

Next is a really simple card using a Stampin' Up wheel, Trim the Tree. I saw the layout and loved it but didn't have the stamps they used so I came up with my own idea. =)

Next is a complete case from SCS. I loved the neat and simple design of this card!

Another very simple card using Perfect Punches and a Sizzix embossing folder.

Lastly another case using the Tags Til Christmas set and Snowflake punch!

I hope to you can join us on October 30!

Happy Stamping~
