MY DIGITAL STUDIO

This is the first thing I've created with Stampin' Up's MY DIGITAL STUDIO! I'm getting certified in this new area, so one of my requirements is making a card--so this is the front of a greeting card that I'm giving to Nathan as a thank-you for taking me on our cruise. It's pretty simple, but I'm super excited about it!

KIDS PARTY!!!

My kids LOVE playing in my scrapbook room: they love getting into the scrap paper, using the punches, and stamping with all the different stamp sets. And their friends also enjoy playing in there (yes, even the boys).

• TIME: 10:00 a.m.


• WHERE: My House


• COST: $5.00


• WHAT to bring: adhesive (gluestick, glue pen, or glue tape)


• RSVP deadline: Friday September 11th

And here is what we'll be making that day:

what the boys would make

what the girls would make

boy and girl treat bag holders (includes treats)

boy and girl cards

***A parent/guardian must be present for the child to attend. I hope to see you soon!

Baby Shower Goodies

Here's the diaper cake I made for my cousin's baby shower. The Pooh doesn't really coordinate, but I wanted to use him because my cousin loves Pooh. I used my Big Shot and Butterfly Die to make the butterflies...it was so EASY and I think they turned out cute!

These were some prizes for the shower...altered baby jars with M&Ms.

More prizes...these are kit-kat bars wrapped in designer paper.

The shower was great and we're excited to meet Katie's new baby girl!
