Welcome Christmas...

Can you believe Christmas is less than 9 weeks away!  I know, neither can I!!!  To get me into more of a Christmas mood, I decided to create a Christmas card with My Digital Studio.  As part of the My Digital Studio Certification course I'm taking, one of the requirements was to create and print a digital card.  SO, I thought why not make it Christmas!

This is the front of the card:

This is the inside of the card.  I love being able to add embellishments to the inside with no extra bulk.  I've also included the small sentiment from the Sweet Season stamp set (I never know what to write inside a card!).  ;)  

 

Happy Stamping!

At the Pumpkin Patch

A couple of days ago I decided to venture out with all three kids to pick out pumpkins at a local Farmers Market near our home.  We weren't there long, but the boys definitely enjoyed choosing their very own pumpkins.  They were so excited to be allowed to hold their pumpkins on the drive home and even insisted we stop at daddy's office to show him their finds before heading home. ;)

I brought my camera along to capture a few memories with the intention to scrapbook them of course!!!  As soon as I got home, I downloaded the pics, opened up My Digital Studio and immediately started on a page.  I decided to keep it simple and used a layout already designed and included with the software.  All I had to do was add my choice of papers, stamps, embellishments and of course my pictures!  In less than an hour, I had my basic page finished.  You can click on the picture for a larger view.

Check out the background paper - it's one of the pictures!  One of the options in My Digital Studio is to add a custom background.  I used one of my photos, cropped it a bit and changed the opacity to make it a little more translucent. Love it!  Even my husband was impressed!

If you're interested in learning more about this amazing new digital software, watch for upcoming details on a free information and demonstration evening I'll be offering in November!

Happy Stamping!
