Oh, Holy Night

Last year when this card was introduced, the card created with it featured almost all the stamps in the stamp set. I wanted to try a simple version of it when I started this card. Here is the card front...

When you open the card, this is the first layer...

Left the second flap, and you get to the inside of the card...

Happy Holidays Dove

When I've used the Movers & Shapers die in the past, I've used a piece of 12x6 CS. For this particular card, I wanted a layer with the punch out all the way through the card so I laid a piece of 11 x 4 1/4 CS with a layer of Bride Specialty Paper brayered with Elegant Eggplant attached to it. After I ran it through the Big Shot, I placed a window sheet between the two layers. Such a peaceful holiday card. Order your supplies here.

It's GREAT to be...

8! J.R.'s has reached a very important age in our church. At eight year's old, you have the decision to be baptized and confirmed a member of our church. J.R. has decided to take this important step and will be baptized next weekend. We're very excited for this special day and even more excited that it will be shared with many family members and friends. This is the announcement I made for the event. This is definitely one of the reasons I love paper crafting so much. I just make ANY type of announcement or invitation that I want. I just customize it to fit the event. For this particular card, I used my computer more than I usually do to create cards. It worked well, though, since it would have been a lot of alphabet stamping otherwise. The best part of this particular announcement is that J.R. was able to help me by using the Big Shot to cut out all the number "8"s that we needed for the cards. Order your supplies here.

For my demo swap last week, I wanted to try stamping on the bride specialty paper. I had out the Baroque Motifs stamp set so I tried that out. What a great effect the stamp has on this paper...it's fun how the paper resists the stamp. Can't wait to try it out with more stamps!

J.R.'s most recent obsession has been with Harry Potter so for his birthday he wanted a Harry Potter party, of course. I decided to make the invitation on Hogwarts stationary.

Thankful Garland

Last week I was just itchin' to make a Thanksgiving decoration for the house. I have ONE Thanksgiving decoration that I made the first year of marriage...so my fall angel is a bit tattered and worn out so I was in the mood for some more decorations. I remembered that I had some leaf garlands left from over from last year's halloween Spooky Spider frame so I decided to pull it out and see what I could figure out. Here's what I came up with:

Each tag has a different letter to spell the word "THANKFUL." I couldn't get just the right picture of it so...guess you'll just have to come over and check it out for yourself. Here are a few more close-ups.


Happy Fall!!! It's definitely a time to be thankful.

Leaf Napkin Rings

I LOVE how these turned out. When I first started playing around with them, I was going to make the whole npakin ring out of the wood sheets but then realized the bride speciality paper would be GREAT to personalize to match your Thanksgiving table. We made these at technique night also. Everyone used their own colors. It was AMAZING. I can't wait to create these fun napkins for our Thanksgiving table.

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.
