My Digital Studio

Hi everyone, my computer is still down! So I can't upload any projects to my blog. Because all my pictures are on my computer, But I've been playing with Stampin Up's new My digital Studio on my husbands computer and I'm super excited about this. Look for a informational class coming later this fall! So I do have a page that I did real quick this afternoon that I can share with you.

What do you think? This is my first page and I LOVE it. The colors that I chose to use where chocolate chip, pretty in pink and mellow moss. This is a 12x12 page but you could do it any size you would like to. What great gifts these books would make for special people in your lives. The best part of My Digital Studio is that it's EASY to use. Granted I do have lots to learn but if I can do this page in a short amount of time anybody who can turn on a computer and use a mouse can do this page. I can't wait to try out some of the more advanced options. Oh yeah they also have already planned out layouts so if you wanted to, you could just click and drag your pictures into the right spots on the page and your good to go. If you are interested in learning more about this fabulous product and would like to get it for 50% off shoot me a quick e-mail and I will contact you.

Alright everybody have a fantastic day and happy stampin!

I'm off to a demonstrator stamping night at Cindy L's house tonight with a couple of my downline, I can't wait to see all the fun projects that we get to do. Whoo Hoo.

Go do some stampin!

Big Shot Class Sample

This morning the sky was blue and the sun was shining, now it's cloudy already, what's up with that? Today I"m going to show you one of the projects that we are going to be doing at my next Big Shot class on Thursday July 9th. This card is super cute and I loved being able to use the new designer papers and In-Colors. Of course I did have to add glitter to the cupcake. I got the idea from this card here. You will have to be logged in to SCS to see it. I changed it up a little bit to make it a normal sized card. Can you see the polka dots on the white cardstock? Aren't the polka dots just so cute! Speaking of polka dots, how about that new In-color polka dot ribbon, doesn't it just add a cute touch to the card. If you want this ribbon and the rest of the In-color products then why not join the In-Color club and get some free hostess benefits out of it too!

If you want to make this and 3 other really cute projects then join me on July 9th at 6:30 pm. Please register by: July 6th. Only 3 spots left for this class.

Have a fantastic day and happy stampin!

Got Stencils?

Did you know that Stampin UP! has stencils? They are in the Decor Elements catalog. Now I have to be honest with you, I'm not really a stencil on the wall type person but after seeing what else you could do with these stencils I HAD TO HAVE THEM! You know how that goes right, you think you really don't need something until you see it used in a really special way right? Well when I went to Spring Fling back in May, they has an entire display of things you can do with the stencils. I've seen them used in so many different ways that my head is spinning and I can't wait to show you how much fun they really are. Tonight I have a scrapbook page that I did using the stencils. This came right off of the Stampin Up website (another great reason to be a demonstrator, you get all these extra ideas from the website). I changed up the colors of the scrapbook page and changed it just a little bit. I really like how it turned out. I was going to paint the chipboard pink and clear emboss it, but I decided that I really liked it just the way it was. It stands out much better this way then if it was pink. I also used the new melon mambo polka dot grosgrain ribbon. LOVE THIS STUFF!I can't wait to show you all the other ideas I have for using these stencils! I might just have to do a class on them.
Have a fantastic day and happy stampin!

FRIEND - New challenge

It's a rainy day here again! But luckily I have some pictures taken already so they shouldn't be to dark. How did this weeks challenge go for everybody? It was to take a sample from the catalog and change it up a bit.

This weeks challenge:


Use something that is retiring! It can be a stamp set or a retiring accessorie.


You have until next Thursday to complete the challenge. Anybody who sends me a picture of their project will get it posted here on my blog.



On to today's card. I used the stamp set simple friendship. I really like this set! It's easy to use the stamps go nicely together. I used taken with teal, old olive, chocolate chip and whisper white. Not a color combo I would put together on my own, but I saw it on a card somewhere and I thought it just "popped". You probably can't see it but the chocolate chip paper is our textured paper which really does make a difference in the look of the card. I used the photo corner punch and paper pierced it. On the main image the "friend" was inked up with the taken with teal marker and old olive markers.
Got to love the markers! If you don't have the markers yet, then the marker club might be right for you. It breaks down the payment of the markers over 4 months. At the end of the 4 months you would get an entire set of markers with the case as well as a package of each of the 4 color families of assorted cardstock as well as a package of whisper white cardstock. To join a marker club call me at 413-863-3166 or e-mail me at c_riddell@comcast.net .

Have a great day and happy stampin!
