When you're in a pinch!

When you are in a pinch to get your Valentine's done, it's great to have My Digital Studio standing by to help.  That's where I was today.


My hubby and I don't do elaborate or expensive gifts for Valentine's day.  It's normally something small and almost always edible.  This past Sunday, while looking through the ads in the Sunday paper, I noticed these limited edition Oreo cookies: Lemon Twist!  It just so happens that my hubby loves lemon creme cookies and I'm thinking that he might really like these.  

After purchasing the cookies (which took a little more time than I thought it would, since my local grocery store didn't have any) I needed to do a little something to make them "Valentine-sy".  
A little wrap of some (now retired) Valentine's designer series paper, my Sizzix Big-Shot and the Hearts Collection framelits dies fit the bill perfectly.  But...I still needed something for the greeting.  That's where MDS came in.  I love that I can search for "Valentine" and find all the images within my program and choose from among them quickly.  This is a stamp brush from the Mailbox Love Notes download (it's actually part of a MDS class), and the hearts around it are from the Officially Awesome Valentines download.  

The great part of My Digital Studio is that you can try it out absolutely FREE!  Yes, download a free 30-day trial here and get started today.  (The trial version just has less content with it than the paid version, but it will give you a chance to see what it's all about with no strings attached!)

Don't forget about Sale-a-Bration.  Check out the sale brochure here!

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally  Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...
