Rainbow Fun

I loved doing this page. It did take a bit of time to get my rainbow, buttons, and brads in place but the end results is well worth it!

I created the rainbow background using the Hello Baby pennant punch. I started with the green one. Once I created the size that I wanted and the angle I wanted I copied and pasted the rest. I had to find the right angle for each of them. On mine it worked out to be rotated by 15s.

The white circles is the dotted circle large stamp from the Circle Circus stamp set. I did enlarge it but I'm not concerned with the fluzzy look. I made sure that there was one large circle in each colour. Then I added the buttons and brads after.

I hope you enjoyed this page.

Announcing some new things!!

As you have seen that I've been crazy with the My Digital Studio (MDS), creating scrapbook pages, invitations, and tags. I had my first MDS class last week and I enjoyed it very much. I love being able to share what I love to do with others. Talking about sharing what I love, Stampin' Up! has an upgraded MDS coming our way!! My Digital Studio 2 (MDS 2)!!! This program is available late 2012 but don't wait until the new program comes out to get it. If you order the current MDS now, when the MDS 2 is available you get to download it for FREE!!! That is exciting!!! There are lots of upgrades on this new program! I am excited to get my hands on it!

Our current catalogue is expiring on May 31st which means there are lots of retired items available until May 31st then we get our new caddy!!! I have seen the new catalogue and I love it! There are a few things that I will miss because they are retiring but the great thing about Stampin' Up! is they always come out with new stuff.

Here is a MDS page.

I love this page. These photos were taken when our 3 daughter Carsyn was born. The girls had so much fun getting their picture taken with their new sister!

I hope you have a great weekend!!

My Family

I love this page especially the feet photo. I do have to say that journalling is a challenge for me. I feel that it's something that opens up my thoughts and feelings to others therefore it's hard to do.

I hope you like this page. Leave me a comment to tell me what you think.

Have a great day!
Susie

Another MDS Page

When we moved in with my mom we had to give our dog of 8 years away. Titan was such a great dog and we miss him very much. Unfortunately he ran away from his new home. We are still sad that we can not visit him anymore.

Anyway, I enjoyed playing around with this page. The circles are a punch that I aligned to create what looks like a quilt with the title being in the circles.

Have a great day!!
Susie

I love...

My Digital Studio!! I have been very busy playing with this program. I have created several pages. A big thanks to Heather Summers for her MDS course that I'm taking and learning so much from it. As you can see, I've made my blog header and some other things on my blog. It was lots of fun to do.

I've also been very busy with the new home. Lots of organizing going on and still more to do. My Scrap With Susie Studio is not complete yet. I'm really hoping we can get this done soon.

Anyway, here is a page I created with the MDS program.

I hope you have a great Sunday!

Shelby's 4th Birthday

These pictures are from 2 years ago but I just love the expression on Shelby's face when she saw her birthday gift from us. Gotta love how excited children get!

Have a great day!

Update

We have officially moved into our new home! Wow, what a crazy few days. Now my house is still very unorganized but I'm okay with that. I'm slowly working on getting things in their place.

Here's a page for you showing the start of building our home.

Something I've been doing while using My Digital Studio is creating my own embellishments. I created the digger using several layers of punches.

Hope you have a great day and weekend!!

Little Baby Girl

Have a great day!

My Digital Studio Scrapbook Page

I hope you liked my scrapbook page yesterday. I really am enjoying the My Digital Studio program from Stampin' Up! I have created another page. Hope you like it!

One of the great things about this program is that you can match the colours from your photos to the colours on your page! That is what I've done here with the word sisterly and a few other elements on the page.

Just an update on what is going on, I will be only doing My Digital Studio for the next month as we are moving in less then 2 weeks. I hope to get my Stampin' Studio up and running by the beginning of May.

Happy Scrappin' Day!!
Susie

My Digital Studio Scrapbook Page

I started a class with my second upline of Stampin' Up! Heather Summers on My Digital Studio. In this class, we are given a scrapbook page to work on whether we case the page or tweak it is up to each person. We get a new page every day. We also get videos of different tricks that we can do with punches, embellishments, colours, photos and so on using MDS (My Digital Studio).

Here is my page of day 1. This page is of my 3rd daughter Carsyn who discovered playing peek-a-boo using the elliptical. I love how quick and easy I can put a page together.

If you are interested in purchasing & learning how to use My Digital Studio please contact me.

Have a great day!

Where have I been...

I would like to apologize for not updating my blog in the last few months. We are still living at my mother's house and my stampin' space is very small and my products are in boxes which I have to search through every time I need something. We are moving in a few weeks. So I hope to get back at posting more often.

I do have some post coming up starting on Monday so please come back and take a peek.

Happy Stampin' Day!

Merry Christmas Lollies Wreath

My oldest daughters have an amazing teacher!! They are in JK and SK so therefore have the same teacher but they are on opposite days. I wanted to make something really special for her because she is such a blessing to our girls!!

Here is the first gift I made for her!

This wreath is made with our Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper, Card Stock, Simply Scored Tool, Embellishments and Ribbon all from Stampin' Up! Store bought items are: hot glue, hot glue gun and wooden wreath.

Hope you enjoy this project as much as I enjoyed making it!!

Merry Christmas!!!

I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!!

On to Christmas we go!!

I have been crazy busy in the last month. We moved into my mom's house while waiting for our house to be built. I've also been busy with my Christmas events.

Right now we have an Online Extravaganza over at www.stampinup.com. Click on Hot Deals to see what we have on sale. There are a lot of great deals. In just over a month our Holiday Mini Catalogue is done and the Occasions Mini Catalogue is coming out along with the Sale-a-bration. If there is anything you still want from the Holiday Mini, let me know.

Last Saturday I had a group of ladies attend my Christmas Advent Box event. Here are pics of the box.

Days 1-6 with a punched out snowflake lined with Pool Party marker and Dazzling Details added to make it sparkly.

Days 7-12 with a stamped stocking and punched out with the stocking punch.

Days 13-18 with a wreath made from a 1 3/4 circle and the small flowers from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. I added some basic jewels and a hemp twine bow.

Days 19-24 with a Contempo ornament stamped 5 times (4 of them are glued in pairs). I added basic jewels on this one as well.

Here you can see I created the drawers out of Stampin' Up! Matchbox die. The top opens as well to add a little gift for someone as well.

I'm sure you noticed that the top box rotates. This allows you to see the front of it with each side that you have facing out. On the top box, I used the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies for the Big Shot. I also used the basic rhinestones, the jingle bells and another snowflake.

Happy Weekend and Stampin'!
