HARRISON


The wait is over! Harrison has stolen our hearts already.  I thanked my daughter-in-law and son for giving us a grandbaby! They are remarkable about sharing this bundle of love. 

We hope he likes dinosaurs!

Enchanted Lamp Shade


How adorable is this?  I used the new Designer Rosette to make the Lamp Shade.  It is an amazing Die for the Big Shot.  It has significantly cut down on the amount of time to make lollies, or rosettes, even adding a decorative edge.  The Designer Series Paper is Everyday Enchantment from the SaleABration catalog.  It was FREE with a $50 product order.  I will really miss this paper after the SaleABration promotion!  If you want to place an order with me click SHOP NOW.

Pennant Punch Color Challenge


This card was so quick and easy for the color challenge at Butternut Sage Design. I used scraps from various Designer Series Papers and strung them on White Linen Thread.  The back of the envelope flap is also decorated with Designer Series Paper.  Hop on over to see the other designer's projects this weekend.

Color Challenge:  Rich Razzleberry, Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz & Wisteria Wonder.

TOOTSIES!


Long Story Short:  Donna was away on vacation and we missed her, so we put our flip flops on and sent a picture to be photo-shopped by Robert & Dawn. (thank you for your work!).  Donna returns today and we are surprising her with some happy feet!  We appreciate that she has encouraged us all to "step" out of our comfort zones, start blogs, participate in crafting challenges, and set up a chat room to share ideas. Visit Donna at Butternut Sage Designs!

P.S.  my toes are in the yellow flip flops

Today's project was made using the Elegant Bird Bigz Die.  She's managed to fly out of her cage and pose for me! I will be using the Bird & Cage for my son's wedding reception to hold the Wedding Cards.  They will easily slip in between the metal bars.

Email me if you have questions not answered on the MDS site--and ENJOY this awesome gift from Stampin' Up!

Here's a few quick FAQ's for you--
Q: Is the trial version of the software different from the paid version of My Digital Studio Express?
A: No. When you order the My Digital Studio Express Trial, you will receive the full version of My Digital Studio Express. The software will function exactly the same as if you had purchased the software--you can design, purchase downloads, and print. The only difference is that you can only use the trial version for 30 days.

Q: Do my 30 days start as soon as I download My Digital Studio?
A: Your 30 day trial period starts as soon as you launch the program. It does not matter when you download the program, your 30 days will start as soon as you actually launch (open) the program.

Q: Will the trial still last 30 days even if I order it in the middle or end of the month?
A: You can order the My Digital Studio Trial at any time. The trial period is not tied to the calendar. The trial period will begin as soon as you launch the program, and you will be able to use it for the next 30 days.

Q: What happens after the 30 day trial period is over?
A: When you launch the software after the 30 day trial period is over, you will be prompted to enter a product key. You will not be able to use the software again until you have entered a product key. You can get a product key by purchasing My Digital Studio or My Digital Studio Express.

Q: How do I purchase My Digital Studio after the trial period is over?
A: Simply add My Digital Studio (item 118108) or My Digital Studio Express (item 124483) to your next order. If you order My Digital Studio Express, you will not need to reinstall the software. A product key will be e-mailed to you; after you complete your purchase, just enter that product key when the program prompts you to. If you purchase the disc version of My Digital Studio, you will need to use the installation discs in order to access the included digital content. The installation wizard will walk you through the process, including entering the product key (which you’ll receive with your shipped discs). You will not lose any downloads or projects from your 30-day trial period.

Q: What happens to digital downloads I purchase during the 30 day trial period?
A: You will have continued access to any downloads you purchase during the trial period. If you choose to purchase the software, you will simply need to enter a product key, and you will be able to use all your downloads like normal. If you do not purchase the software, you will still have access to your downloads through your download manager, and you will be able to load them to the digital design software of your choice.

Q: Can I use My Digital Studio digital downloads in other design programs?
A: Yes. The My Digital Studio digital downloads will work with any digital design program.

Q: Will my saved projects be lost when the free trial ends?
A: You will not be able to edit any of your projects through My Digital Studio after the trial period has ended unless you purchase the software. If you do chose to purchase the software, you will be able to access all your projects. If you don’t choose to purchase the software, we recommend you save your projects as jpg files. You will then be able to use them like you use any of your jpg (picture) files.

Q: Can I have two free trials?
A: No. The My Digital Studio Express Trial will only work once. After your 30 days are over, you need to purchase the software to continue using the program.

Q: What if I don’t want to purchase the software at the end of the trial period?
A: You can uninstall the software at any time.

Q: How do I use My Digital Studio?
A: We have several videos and resources available for you on the training section of MyDigitalStudio.net that will help you learn how to use the program.

LOVE & LAUGHTER


Love & Laughter 125475-W 125477-C

My Dear Sister (and my biggest fan!)  wanted a card for a Wedding or Bridal Shower using the stamp set-  Love & Laughter.  She said the wedding colors are "seafoam green & white".   Well, that being said, I added a 3rd color, and used Pool Party, Very Vanilla, and Pretty in Pink.  I almost follow suggestions! (wink)

Stamp Set:  Love & Laughter
Ink:  Pretty in Pink
Card Stock:  Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla
And More:  Jewels- Pearls, Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, Lace Ribbon Border, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack

Technique Tip: Use the tip of the Stylus and roll it around in the center of the flower punch to give it some dimension.
