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.)

Grandparents Day, 13 September 2009

For all grandparents – thought you might enjoy this.   1.    She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!"

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 »
