My Special Birthday Card

 

Saturday was my birthday (shhh, I won't say which one.  Let's just say I don't celebrate half-birthdays anymore like my grandchildren like to do!)  and I wanted to share with you a beautiful card I received from my friend Jennifer S. in Pinconning, Michigan.  Jennifer always make the most beautiful cards and I love being on the receiving end of one of them!

"Sponging on Color" Class This Weekend!

This week I will be teaching one of my "Sponging on Color" classes.  I am very excited as these are my favorite classes to teach.  First-time attendees receive a special sponging tool kit.  They can then attend future classes at a discount provided they bring their tool kit with them to each class.  Attendees also receive the PDF instruction file.  I usually only teach 1 class but this weekend I will be teaching the class both on Saturday and Sunday because of its popularity.  Watch my schedule for future sponging classes if you would like to attend!

Just Because Card

 

I love creating cards using My Digital Studio (MDS) because I can try out different designs to see if I like them before I cut that first piece of card stock.  Today's MDS hybrid card features the Countryside (116998-wood, 120495-clear) stamp set from the Stampin' Up! 2012-13 Annual Catalog and the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper (129311) from the Spring Catalog.  One of my favorite things about My Digital Studio is the coloring tool.  I love using it to add whatever color I want to the stamped image! 

 

"Kindle precious pastimes of moments spent enjoying nature and relaxing in the countryside with this 5-piece set of images reminiscent of simpler times. Their sketched look gives them a nostalgic feel perfect for calling up favorite memories and creating a country"

 

"Spread out your favorite blanket, invite the girls, and have a tea party! 12 sheets: 2 ea. of 6 double-sided designs. 12" x 12". Acid- and lignin-free."

First Communion Cards

Crosses of Hope Stamp Set

My grandson Max made his First Communion on Sunday -- a very big event for him.  He spent 2 years preparing for this special day.  I wanted to show you the simple cards I made for him.  The card pictured above was made with the Crosses of Hope (117136-wood, 120567-clear) stamp set.

Thinking of You Hybrid Card

 

Today's card is a hybrid card I made in My Digital Studio.  One of the reasons I love using the MDS software program is because I can control the size of the image I use on each card.  While the butterfly is really small in real-life (the actual stamp set),  I can change the size when creating it on my computer!
