Digital Scrapbook Page

For the challenge on Sudsol this week!  It was such a simple sketch I had to make a quick page.  That is what is so great about the MDS program, you can make a page in just 15-20 minutes and be all cleaned up at the touch of a button!  Wish all my cleaning was this easy!

Here is the sketch...

Quick and easy.  I don't get many pictures of my men dressed up, lol.  They are the type who love to be dirty--working on cars, riding or fixing things--always into something and generally not into dress clothes!

Hope you have a great Thursday!
Thanks for stopping by.

ABC challenge on LNS!

ABC Anything but a card--LNS Latenightstamper's Yahoo Group

It is the last few days of school, the count down--being active in the PTO means that this last few days are CRAZY!!!  But fun.  I have not had much time to do any crafting but you know I have to make something for the LNS challenge, after all I am the co-DT coordinator.

So you can probably guess what that means

MDS to the rescue

I know more letters--My Digital Studio!

Made this quick page of my son at his last middle school field days.

If don't have this program you should really consider it.  It is so fun and you can create without making a mess and bring out all your supplies!  NICE!

Hope you week went well and that your weekend if full of all the fun things you like to do.

We will be working the Lawn Fete at the church that sponsors our Scouts--so may not have much crafting time at all---but...

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for the second VC-Rocks blog hop!  Lots of fun card ideas!  

See ya then, Mary Jo

Couple of challenge samples for VC_Rocks

I actually have been so busy that even if I find time to stamp I have NOT been able to find time to post.  Sorry about that but stuff happens, right?!

Here are two samples for this week's challenge on VC_rocks.  We were to used the one of the in color collections or the brights collection and make a birthday project.  I used the brights for the scrapbook page and the brand new not released yet-in colors from the new catalog on the card. I also used a set that will be in the new catalog.  Hope you enjoy.  I don't have all the details in front of me so if you have questions please feel free to leave it in the comments section.  Add your e-mail so I can reply--blogger does not give me e-mails to reply to comments.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your weekend!  Mary Jo

VC-rocks challenge

Here are my two samples for the VC-rocks challenge. Here is the challenge...


Easy Challenge:

Make a card using 3 colors from the Regals collection and one brown from the neutrals. You must also use two embellishments. Stamps must be in the current catalog.

A Step harder Challenge:
Make a scrapbook page following the above requirements PLUS you must include journaling, title, and pictures. I would say the scrap page needs to be 12 x 12 but I will be nice and let those of you who don’t scrap that size a break.

And my samples....

I love to use the Tess stamp set with other sets.  This one is perfect-that is about the size of my coffee cup--almost!

And here is my scrapbook page done with the My Digital Studio program...

 

I hope you are having a great week!  If you have any questions feel free to ask.  Day two of a migraine and don't feel like typing right now.   Seems like I am getting these at least once a month now!  UGGG!!!!

Another MDS (My Digital Studio) Scrapbook page

Thought I would share another scrapbook page using my MDS.  I have not had time to go down to my studio and work so I have been playing on the computer with the My digital studio making various scrapbook pages.  Again I am using many of the more basic items but still able to make fun pages.  These are some really fun pictures of Woody by the water--we were fishing.

Hope your week is going well.  Have a great day!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 175! (TSSC175)

Happy Monday!  Hope you have a wonderful week and that you have lots of time to stamp!  If you do I sure hope you will try out my sketch for this week. It is an easy one!

As usual I combined it with our Latenightstamper's challenge for the week.  This week we are focusing on scrapbooking!  So here is my sample....

I used My Digital Studio!  I still have not finished adding all the stuff that I have for it since changing to my new computer so I was limited but like how it turned out anyway!  Don't forget the challenges are not blog hops so if you play be sure to add the code to you blog in the HTML mode and all the samples will automatically show up on your blog too!


Thanks for stopping by can't wait to see your sample for this week's sketch.....

Baby it's Cold Out There!!

The theme for this week's challenge on Latenightstampers is Baby it Cold!  Things that make you say BRRRR!  So I decided to make this scrapbook page.  We spent an afternoon outdoors ice skating and I think it might have been one of the coldest days this year--go figure.  Of course the boys were TOO COOL TO BE COLD!  I combined the theme challenge with a sketch challenge on Soul Scrappers.


The layout is done entirely on My Digital Studio using only Stampin Up digital images.

I'm cold just remembering how cold it was, lol!

Stay warm and have a great day!

Pages From Our Washington Trip!

My son and I created this for two different reasons.  We made calendars with it for my Mom and Sister who when with us and helped pay Woody's way.  And secondly Woody used it for his school project, hence the did you know and Woody's first thoughts.  There are 13 pages so be ready for a long post, lol!

I hope you can click on the images to make them larger and to be able to read, we know that we should have at least one fact you didn't know.  If you are like me they will all be new, lol!  I really am enjoying My Digital Studio and digital scrapbooking.  Didn't think I would. 

Hope you are having a great week.  I am buried in Christmas stuff, lol!

Me and My Kindle!

I love my Kindle. I have it with me at all times. I have both audio books and regular books on it. Along with some reference books. It is one of the best investments I have ever made. Since I have been wanting to do a book of Me for so long I decided that this would be the first page I make.I used all items from my My Digital Studio.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Digital Scrapbooking with My Digital Studio!

I joined a new group today that does challenges for scrapbooking.  I am determined to do more both regular and digital.  So I have done two challenges so far.  I will share one today and one tomorrow.  By the way the group is called Soul Scrappers.  The first challenge I did was a color challenge.  The colors were So Saffron, Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black and Basic Gray.  I actually did a two page layout of my son's first day of school pictures.

 

You can click on the images to see bigger pictures....

 

I may actually learn to like this digital scrapbooking think.  All images and items are from My Digital Studio from Stampin Up!  And no mess to clean up at the end, now that is NICE!  Hope you have a great day.

Playing with my MDS.

I love how this page turned out.  I used the inspiration challenge from Latenightstampers for the colors and layout.  Of course the ONLY supplies used were My Digital Studio!  Fast fun and oh so EASY--and no mess to clean up afterwards.

I wish there was more time in a day.  You may see lots more of the MDS from me over the next few days as I fell coming out of a Women's meeting at a local church last night and I can barely walk, my ankle is messed up.  But I am hoping I can "walk" it off, or drag it off, limp it off, which ever works.  I have toooooooo much to do to be in one spot!

Three Clover's Thursday Challenge Week 42

I have had this done for a while(over a month)--I even sent it to SU for the "What can you do with the MDS challenge" and knew that it would be perfect to post for today's Thursday Challenge--and believe it or not I am still late--what the heck!

Anyway the challenge that Kerry gave us for this week is to create a gift! What fun--this is the simplest idea for the MDS yet. You can match your clothes and accessories to your stamped cards, got to love that. I printed the images onto iron ons and then simply followed the directions to add them to the t-shirts. Then the rest of the project just grew from there. Hope you like it.

Have a great day,

Catching up--AGAIN!

It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up!

This is the quote of my week. If it can go wrong it has. It has been a very long week. The good news is that I am not defeated, and I am back up and running. I won't bore you will all the details, lol. Let's just say I have been tested a few times this week and I am still standing! God is good.

Anyway, now that I am able to post (my camera was not working for a few days) I am gonna try to catch up. Wednesday should have been my Super Set Sampler post. Since this is only week three and I already had a problem posting two out of the three weeks I think I am going to set this aside until the first of the year. I will start it back up then. I did have a couple of cards made to post. The set was going to be The More the Merrier. Such a fun set. It is a level three hostess set. Here are two samples using it.

(by the way if I owe you something please let me know, I am behind on mostly everything.)

This first card is also for the Latenight Stamper's challenge this week. Such a simple sketch I love it.

The next one just makes me smile, hence my sentiments.

And then this is my blogger's challenge post. We were to alter something. I have so many frames laying around so I thought I would mess around with my MDS and come up with a hybrid holiday decoration. I really wish I had more time to play with this program. I am sure I will have more time after this weekend and the CROP walk. I can not believe it is this week already. I am soooo not ready, lol. Imagine that!
