Great Friend

Today's post features the stamp set Great Friend.  Since I selected the Tall Tales Designer Series Paper as the background (I like it for its cheery bright colors), I felt it didn't need anything else except for the sentiment. A very quick and easy card to make.  Download a Printer Friendly Version of the Card Supplies and Directions: Great Friend 6 November 2009.pdf (218.2K) Thanks for stopping by!   To… Read More »

Football!

It was David's (my grandson) last game on Saturday.  His team was 12-1 but lost to the Jaguars for the championship.  Was he disappoint!  This scrapbook page was made using the My Digital Studio.  This is one of the things I like about the MDS – everything is right at your finger tips.  Before MDS, I would have to go to the scrapbook store or Hobby Lobby looking for the… Read More »

Happy Bearthday Teddy

No, that isn't a spelling error!  It's President Theodore Roosevelt's Birthday and since he is responsible for giving the teddy bear his name, I thought I share that story.  I' m also include  a Teddy Bear Card from our stamp set "Beary Best Friends". President Roosevelt and the Teddy Bear Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is the person responsible for giving the teddy bear his… Read More »

Fall Leaves

I promised you a video on a technique I learned at the Wichita regional but I have a head cold and want to wait until my head clears up. This scrapbook page features pictures of Rachel taken as she helped Poppa rake up the leaves. In the upper left hand picture, she is holding one of the leaves.  On the upper right, she is collecting gravel after she got bored with raking (which… Read More »

Extreme Surfboard

I had a last minute request for a teenage boy's birthday card.  I decided to use the Extreme Surfboard stamp – I'm extremely happy with the way it came out even though I almost ruined when I stamped  Happy Birthday on the upper right hand.  Did I save the card? What do you think?   I had stamped the Happy Birthday directly on the card and smeared the black ink. … Read More »

Poppa’s Guitar

I tell you, this MDS (My Digital Studio)  is so addicting!  I've scrapbook in the past, but doing it this way is so easy and fast.  I can start a page, work on it for a while, save it and close the program. And then get back to it when I want to –  No fuss, no mess!  The old way, I would have paper scattered all over the table and… Read More »

Twick or Tweet

Good Morning Everyone Today post includes the stamp set "Twick or Tweet".  I think it's one of the cuter Halloween sets this year from Stampin' Up!. I usually don't make a lot of Halloween cards  – perhaps one or two but I am so enjoying it this year.  What started it all was the Sweet Centers Stamp Set with the Sweet Treat Cups.  The things you can do with both… Read More »

Halloween 2008

This scrapbook page from the MDS (My Digital Studio) is of my grandchildren, David, Felicia and Rachel at Halloween 2008.  After it comes back from the printer, I'll add a couple of embellishments and then it will be considered a hybrid (I think that's the right term.) Right now there's a special for Demo's where they receive 15% off the printing cost of a book.  After 1 October, it will… Read More »

Card for Andrew

I'm still playing with my "My Digital Studio".  It is so much fun!  I'll have something for you tomorrow (I hope!). Today's card is for my husband's grandson Andrew.  The background DSP is such an unlikely choice for a teenager but after seeing Sandy MacIvers' card on SCS, I knew that I would use the same thing.  It reminds me of a spot light shinning down on the guitar player. … Read More »
