My Digital Studio- Pumpkin time Page & download day!

Posted on October 23, 2012October 22, 2012 by Josee

Each year we go to the same farm to take some photos and to pick some pumpkins. They always have a trailer full of pumpkins and we've been taking photos there since the kids were babies, it's kind of a fun tradition for us each year. I used My Digital Studio to create a quick and easy page, what I love most about doing pages of all 3 kids is that I can just print it 3 times and then add it to each child's scrapbook! Love these short cuts!

Did you see how the tree was coloured? With MDS2, we now have the ability to "colour" certain stamps, I love this new feature!

Do you have any Fall or Halloween tradition? Leave me a comment on this post and share yours!

Punch out basic black using 3/4" circle punch for buttons.
Use your Big Shot with the Apothecary Accents Framelits to cut out beard and trip to approx. 2" from tip.
Stamp the greeting from Just Believe using Black Stazon
