I've decided that this weekend we will have Hailey's birthday party so I had to call around for a location as we are still staying with family. We will be having it at Visions bowling alley in Carleton Place, so of course that means getting on My digital Studio to create an invite- fun, fun, fun!!!  I found an idea online and then created something similar with MDS- easy peasy! I think it turned out really cute, what do you think?! 

Next I'm starting to get ready for my Welcome Back Card Party I'm having on Saturday…if you haven't signed up yet and are from Ottawa…hurry, hurry, hurry as I need to know my final numbers by Thursday! Did I mention it's FREE for customers???

Here's a page I made today of my Leadership trip to San Antonio:

As you can see below, when I put these side by side…they match! This was such a fun project to make and now all I have to do is send it to Stampin' Up! to get printed and add it to my album.

To create these pages, I was inspired by the sketch at Sketch Support here. It's not exact, but it was a great starting point.

Here's what I created in My Digital Studio:

and here's what it looks like after I printed it:

To make the holes above and below her hand, I used my crop-a-dile and Hailey was able to help me put in all the lollipops.

Since I had to take TONS of photos to find one that worked…I also made a 12×12 scrapbook page with the photos.

This page was super fun to make…and super easy. I used the "Bright Delights" Digital Embellishments Kit   #126058. $7.95

I LOVE THIS KIT!!! It's so stinkin' cute!!! You just have to get it to play with!!! I love how the colours from this kit matched so well with the colours she had on. I also created a custom paper by matching the colour of her shirt to add behind the pictures.

These 55 embellishments will make your projects burst with bright delight! They’re perfect for fun, summer designs. Use with the Trendy Trees and Good Friend Stamp Brush Sets for ultimate coordination. Coordinating colors include Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, and Tangerine Tango.

I've been working on some Christmas pages for 2011 and thought I'd share a few today.

For the belt on this page, I used different punches, filled them with colours and then used eyelets for the holes. The letters were done using Alphabet Soup Punches…I love how you can add any patterned paper to "fill" them.
