Where would I be without technology

For more than 2 months I was without MY computer.  Yes I had access to my husbands and my kids' but I didn't have mine.   Therefor I didn't have My Digital Studio...this was especially bad when I went on a scrapbooking weekend last month!  But now I'm finally back on track.  Just in time to work on my daughter's birthday invitations! I printed this on my home computer then cut backed it with Melon Mambo cardstock and it turned into a simple and beautiful invitation.  We will use the same colors and cupcake for her thank you notes, and tags for the gift bags.  Thank you MDS for making my life easier!

Last of the Calendar

desktop calendar continuted

I used letter punches for the months and filled in with designer paper. 

more desktop calendar

I did not use a downloaded template for this calendar, but there are several calender templates that you can purchase and all you have to do is put your picture in and print!

Desktop Calendar

I made a desktop calendar for the grandmas and greatgrandmas this year.   One of the features of My Digital Studio that I love is the perpetual calendar.  You can select any month any year, change shape and size,change font, add grid or no grid, change color.  It's great not just for calendars but as an accent to a scrapbook page.

some Christmas gifts

Now that Christmas is over I can show you some of the gifts that I made for family and friends.  I made this for my Step-dad, he lost 3 of his siblings this year.  I printed it out in 8x 10 and framed it.

My Digital Studio---easy gift

  This is an 8x10 collage I made for my sister as a gift.  I love how quick I was able to make a gift using MDS!  I printed it at the local CVS where I also bought a frame.  And she loved it!

last simply soft

When I made this card I had everything done but the sentiment with the label punch, it was a very blank card but I loved it.  I hadn't decided what the focal point would be yet so I decided on a simple sentiment.  I think it turned out pretty nice.

simply soft 3

You can see a theme.  When I stamp I like to make at least for colors using the same color scheme and stamp set.  That saves me time, because what takes me the longest is picking my color scheme.

Another simply soft

When the new catalog came out in July I pulled out all of my retired stamp sets and accessories and realized that I have very few neutral colored ribbons.  So one of the first things I put on my wish list was this beautiful crumb cake taffeta ribbon.  It's very luxurious :)

Simply Soft

I think this stamp set is beautiful.  I remember when I first stared using Stampin' UP! products I was drawn to all the 2-step stamping stamp sets.  I still love the look!  It's simply beautiful. 

Yesterday's Trash is Today's Sunflower

Remember the scalloped punch I punched on yesterday's card to create the window?  Well I used it on this card to create the sunflower!  This is a great use of scraps!
