MDS - Abby with Frog

This is the page I made today while showing one of my girls how to use My Digital Studio. Once again I used the Hoppy Memories 12x12 Designers template, but made several modifications. I changed the red background to Cocoa, added a Kiwi mat around my photo, replaced the border with grosgrain ribbon. I added the Modern Label punch, resized larger, and matted in Chocolate Chip. I also added two Kiwi eyelets. I still amazed how quick I can finish a scrapbook page.

MDS - Greatest Moments Designer Template

I needed to unwind tonight, so played with My Digital Studio. It is so awesome to create a wonderful scrapbook page and NOT mess up my room! I had alot of fun with this one. I liked the designer template, but of course, could not leave it alone. I changed the border at the bottom, made the title red instead of white and added a tag punch (resized bigger) for my journaling. I kept the ribbon, and button true size, so I can add the real thing once printed. I think I will frame this and give it to my DH.

Note: I will delete the ribbon and button on my page, print, then add the real ribbon and button, and possibly linen thread on the button. I could just add the ribbon, and use crystal effects on the button if I print it on the page.

Vintage Vogue in Eggplant

Here is one of the new stamp sets in the Occasions mini catalog 2010. I really need to be getting my Valentine Cards made for January, but just had to play with this border set first.  So using the border stamp as my starting point and knowing I wanted a border on the top and the side, this is what I can up with.

Occasions mini catalog

January 5 - April 30, 2010

I finally got a chance to play with my new stamps. It was hard to see that box sitting there so lonely because Janet did not have time to play. This is one the new stamp sets in the new Occasions mini catalog that starts on January 5, 2010. This mini is full of fabulous stamps, buttons, brads, punches, sizzix dies, decor stencils, embosslits dies, ribbon, stitched felt, on board books and a new textured impressions folder. You will want to contact me today to get your copy.  Most of the stamps in the mini give you the option to purchase them with a wood or clear mount. Yes, you heard me correctly, clear mount! We have 9 different clear mount blocks, that you will love! All four sides of the blocks are grooved, so they are so easy and comfortable to use. You will be able to purchase the blocks on January 5, 2010 individually or as a bundle. Our new clear mount stamps come in a clear dvd case, with the name of the stamp set and a picture of all images on the side. How fabulous is that!!! Now,  not only do you see the name of the set, but a thumbnail picture of each stamp included in the side, right there on the side. You will not be able to view this catalog online until January 5th, so order your copy from me today. Simply drop me an email at jkm213@yahoo.com to get your copy.
