Blue Bell Creameries

Posted on July 23, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Over coffee in the morning I’ve been working on a scrapbook that includes this Blue Bell Creameries Tour in Brenham. My Digital Studio makes this soooo easy with its predesigned books. All I have to do is drop and drag, add some details and save. How great is that! Less than 10 minutes a day and it’s done before I even get home.

I’ll be heading back home today and as always have mixed feelings. I’m really looking forward to seeing my husband and son and getting home but will miss the time with my sister and husband. It’s always wonderful spending time together and things are going to change now with the youngest heading off to college this fall, so this time is precious – it’s been girl time for the three of us on these trips together.

I’ve used the Floral District Photobook Template (item 127211) to create this layout. I just loved the bright colors and images in the layouts that are already predesigned for me. We’ve have had fun going through the pictures that we’ve taken during our day trips and choosing which ones to drop in together.

Since it is Tuesday I thought that this was a perfect time to share my Floral District photobook. I always look forward to the NEW Downloads that Stampin’ Up! introduces on Tuesdays. You can click HERE to see all the new Digital Downloads along with other downloads that are available.

Framelits Organization

Posted on June 18, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I love to organize my stamp room, how about you? I know it is always a work in progress, but I can’t help the great feeling I get when I finish organizing my space. Sound familiar? If so you may enjoy this latest item I’ve created to organize my space.

With the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog there are even more great NEW framelits offered and although I’d already begun to use our Clear Mount Cases (item 119105) to store them I wasn’t real happy with the labels I had on them.

So I created my Famelits Organization Printables. What is that you may ask? Well it is a FREE printable download for you to use to help organize your Framelits and Edgelits too!

Here is a picture of my cases ready to go. (I’ve had to print mine out in blue since my printer is being difficult and I’m afraid ready to give up on me, but the file has been saved in black for you, so no worries.)

I’ve also created a FREE Edgelits Oraganization Printables for you too. I like to keep all my Edgelits together for right now, but you may want to have a separate case for them – so I’ve created them both ways. Just print the pages you want.

Easy Graduation Thank You

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Want quick and easy Thank you cards for your graduate to use? With the 25% OFF Sale going on right now it is not only quick but also easy to do with My Digital Studio.

Check out these great thank you notes that I created with the Embark Graduate Ensemble Download (item 133467) last month for my daughter.

I created my Thank you card once with the built in template and then decided that I wanted to try a different color combination for the outside of the card. Here is the Tangerine Tango version of the card.

And for the inside I used my daughter’s picture (yes, the butterfly is real what luck right?)

and a basic thank you above where my daughter can write her note.

I dated the back of the card with the year and school so they know when the picture was taken. If they’re like me they might place it somewhere safe and then later find it and not remember right? Sound familiar – lol.

It’s Tuesday so that means NEW Digital Downloads. Check the latest out – There is a great one so that you can get ready for Father’s Day now during the 25% Off Sale!

Because I’m the Dad Greeting Card Templates (item 134685)

Embark Graduate Announcements

Posted on May 6, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Friday I promised you I would share a recent project that I made with you using My Digital Studio. As I’ve mentioned before my youngest is graduating from high school this spring. It has really snuck up on me, her senior year has just flown by so quickly. So when the Embark Graduate Ensemble was released earlier I knew this was the way to go! (You can click HERE to see that post).

My sister took these great pictures when we visited her last summer of Kaitlin and they really turned out great. Sooo all I had to do was drop and drag. Easy peezy! Here is the template like it comes when you open it.

And the back of the post card. I did tweak this area and personalized the text to include a few things that I wanted – but the basic layout is stock.

Well – I couldn’t leave it this way, right so I played around to incorporate school colors with Kaitlin.

I love the way the new upgrades to My Digital Studio allow you to change colors for the different elements! You can customize almost anything now! Whoohoo, right?

We had a blast changing and trying the different layouts and here is what Kaitlin finally liked. Notice the Tangerine Tango Glimmer Paper? It originally came with Champagne Glimmer Paper in the template. We tried Going Gray, Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie and finally went with the Tangerine Tango option. (Our school colors are orange, blue, silver, and white so there were plenty to choose from.)

Kaitlin was excited about these. Which says a lot about My Digital Studio because she isn’t really my “stamper”, but loves to work with My Digital Studio, it’s defiantly more her style. She loves her tech gear and is always trying to get me up to speed.

We ended up designing three different versions of the graduation announcement. Uploaded them and quickly got them back, without ever leaving the house – the printing looks great and of course with Stampin’ Up! you know it will be great quality.

This was also a great budget option since I didn’t have to buy the graduation announcements and the photos! Which means more left over for the party and I’m using the Embark Graduate Ensemble to create party items too! Love the coordination – makes me smile to see everything match. And with the 25% off on My Digital Studio right now I’m lovin’ it. How about you? You can click HERE to see more about My Digital Studio and the latest downloads too.

Better go, because right now I’m working on those party invites and want to share them with you later in the week. We realized we needed an additional 27 for her friends last night after we stuffed all the family envelopes I’d done already – so I’m busy working to meet tomorrow’s deadline.
