Halloween Fun

The one AWESOME thing about My Digital Studio is that I can QUICKLY scrapbook events. Look...I already scrapbooked a page from the weekend. Here are a few directions for those of you who have MDS...start with a 12x12 album. For this particular page I chose a blank page. I first selected a background paper...I chose a Designer Paper in the color of Pumpkin Pie. Next I added photo boxes (very important so that you can resize your photos easily) and then inserted the photos. Added text and changed the font and color to match my page. Added stamps and changed the color and sizes to match my page. Added a couple strips of cardstock as layers. Added another stamp...DONE! How simple is that?! :) Order your supplies here.

You're One of a Kind

I haven't played with this stamp set in a while...but I needed this greeting from this stamp set for this particular card. It went to a very special person who has had a big impact on not only myself but also on my kids. I couldn't resist using the flowers in the stamp set as well.

BOO!

This project has been floating around in my mind for a few weeks. A friend asked to borrow my alpha Big Shot dies so I decided I better cut out these letters before I borrowed them to her. Well, I actually ended up looking through my retired chipboard letters first and found the needed letters for this project. I decided to use retired designer series paper as well for this project. I had planned to use the crystal effects and reinker technique w/ glitter but when I was doing the project, I had an idea to mix in champagne mist shimmer paint with the mixture and see what happened.

The letters are sparkly! For the scallops I wanted to be sure they were good and sturdy so I also cut out a scallop from light cardboard to glue the designer paper to. I really like how this project turned out, and it's a great addition to our front door. I'm already starting to think about ideas for Thanksgiving and Christmas...even New Year's and Valentines...oh, boy, the list goes on...with this same idea :) Can't wait to get back my letter dies so I can play. Happy Halloween!!!
