I'm in LOVE....

...with My Digital Studio. I can't seem to get anything else done these days!

I started playing with the designer card templates that are preloaded in the software, and I am having so much fun, I can't stand it!

It's never been easier to make a professional photo Holiday Card. Just upload your picture, chose our Professional Print Services, and your holiday cards are done!

Here are a few that I was playing around with today. There are several sizes to chose from, including 7x5, 6x6 and the standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". All I had to do was select one of Stampin' Up!'s pre-designed card templates, and drop in my photo...I added one of the wonderful holiday stamp set greetings to the inside, and viola! I am done!





























Hope you enjoy these! Contact me to learn more about My Digital Studio...the complete papercrafting solution!

Frank and his Mummy

Today I have two really cute mini tote boxes to share with you. These are easy to make, and so cute for the little goblin's in your life! I made a Frankenstein and a Mummy version.

These are the perfect size for filling with a few Halloween goodies for kids or co-workers! Jacob asked if we could make them for his classmates! :o)

I will be uploading a video tutorial in a day or two on how to make these. So stay tuned! I hope to get to it this weekend, but we are a little crazy around here.

Tomorrow we are having a big party at our house, cause Grandma Annie is 90! We are going to have a great day and celebrate with this wonderful lady that I am so blessed to call Grandma. I spent a lot of my life with her and my Grandpa, and I have so many wonderful memories (like her teaching me to polka dance in the kitchen). She is strong, and healthy and has plenty more years ahead of her. :0)

So have a great weekend, and look for that video in a day or two.

My Digital Studio MOVIE

OK, I know I've just posted a few adorable pages...but I decided I had to try the Movie Feature on My Digital Studio. There are different resolutions that you can select for the finished product. Since the blog has a limit on size for video uploads, I chose the lower resolution. The higher resolution is what you would use for viewing on your tv. It's so much FUN to create and you will LOVE it (although your significant other may complain that you do nothing but sit in front of the computer now...LOL).

Enjoy!!
