My Digital Studio!
Well I finally created my first project with my new My Digital Studio software!! I am amazed at how easy the software is to use and can't believe the potential of all the cool things I am going to be able to create! Some of you might remember some pictures that I posted a couple months back of my ??th Birthday Celebration. Well I created a little scrapbook of the event, and also turned it into a little movie with music for you!
Click the link if you'd like to see the movie. I'm posting the album pages here too! Enjoy!




















In addtion to creating scrapbooks, with My Digital Studio, you can create cards, calendars, and all kinds of multimedia projects!! If you'd like more information on My Digital Studio, please feel free to call or email me. I can't wait to share this great product with you!!

Texturz Plates!
I love the Stampin' Up! Big Shot Texturz Plates and am always pulling them out to look at them when I'm designing cards. I created this little tool to help me envision what each plate looks like on card stock.

I used the Scallop Circle Bigz die and Mellon Mambo card stock to create the scallop circles, and then used Crushed Curry card stock and the Clear Circle Bigz die for the circles. I first cut the Crushed Curry circles out, ran them through with the different texturz plates, and then mounted them on the Mellon Mambo scallop circles. I used the Crop-A-Dile to punch the hole for the metal ring, and then finished off with Crushed Curry and Mellon Mambo 1/2" Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon.
I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

I created this little favor using the Fancy Favors Big Shot die, the Merry embosslits die, and the Merry Details sizzlits die. Isn’t it just to die for? Okay, sorry I couldn’t resist!
