Creative Crew - Design Team!

I'm quite excited.  I've been asked to be on the Design Team for the Creative Crew Challenges on Splitcoast for 4 months.  This is a challenge for Stampin' Up! demonstrators!
Here are the projects I created for this month's 4 challenges.  Hope you come play along.  You can find the challenge here and the challenge gallery here for all the projects.

Family Collage

After making the collages for the kids (which I'm going to print out as 8X10 and then frame). I decided to make a picture for my husband to put up at his work. I'm going to make this an 8x10 too and frame it. I'll give this one to him and the other to my kids for Valentine's Day (along with chocolate and a card). Hope they like them. I had fun making them. I made them with My Digital Studio.

Kids names

I made some of these for my friend who had a baby shower last night. I decided I would also make some for my kids. I'll share the ones I made for my kids.




I made these with the My Digital Studio Program. I love that program. I am starting to use it for more and more things. I make it as a page, export it as a jpeg and then print it out like you would print out a picture (I go to a store to get them printed, not my own printer).

Morning Digital card

Here's the card I made this morning quickly with My Digital Studio program! I did a SU demo challenge which is where I got this sketch. I used colors from COLOR DARE. Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Gray and neutral. Most of those are retired colors, so I thought it would be easier to make a Digital card!

My Digital Studio is very easy to play with and the options seem to be endless. It's so easy to create something and if you're stuck for ideas, you can always use their templates!

Fun layout copy card

I found a challenge to make a scrapbook layout into a card. I really liked how this card turned out and wanted to share it with you. I made it in My Digital Studio, which is an awesome and easy program to use. I'm really enjoying creating using already existing great cards (or in this case - a scrapbook layout) and not having to reinvent. I think I'm going to stick with this theme for a while. That way I can ensure something I'm happy with in the end and still make it my own.

About my ejoy challenges. I think I'm going to retire from that. There are lots of other great challenges for you to enjoy out there and I'll spend my time more wisely doing something else. All the best with your challenge hunting!

Sketch x2

Today I thought I'd quickly do 2 cards for the sketch on Splitcoast Stampers. I like how they both turned out. I made them both with My Digital Studio. Can you tell I'm loving that program! The nice thing about making them by computer is they are easy to e-mail. I know e-mailed cards are not nearly as nice and don't have the 3D paper-crafting effect, but it's better than nothing! When a situation comes up, you don't want to wait a week for the card to get there!

Today or tomorrow I'll get back to paper-crafting with paper, not just computer. I need to make an EASEL card! Never tried it yet, but am excited to. Stay tuned to see the finished product.

EjoyVC11 ~ Color choice

Here's my second card for the Ejoy Challenge. The challenge this week is a color choice. Use white and chocolate chip and one other COLOR/COLOR group of your choice. On this card I added BLUES. On the other card I added PURPLES. I'd love to see what you come up with. Please play along and show me your creation for this challenge. The code word is EjoyVC11. You can link with Mr. Linky on the bottom too. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you play along!

Stampin' Up! supplies: MY DIGITAL STUDIO

Colors: Tempting Turquoise, Not Quite Navy, White, Chocolate Chip

Another Sneak Peek - Digitally!

Here's a card I made today. I'm LOVING the My Digital Studio program. I think one of my favorite things is playing with papers, embellishments and stamp sets that I don't own.
For this card I started from scratch but it still took less than 10 minutes. I thought the layout was pretty unique. I love the stitching!!

This is your sneak peek for the Ejoy Challenge coming up. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but come play along again in a few days! Thanks to those of you who have been playing along!

MY DIGITAL STUDIO!!!

I just got MY DIGITAL STUDIO yesterday and have been playing with it. This is the first card I made. The program is sooooo easy to use and I love it! I highly recommend it!!! Watch out, scrapbooking room, I might not be visiting you as often!

I started with a designer card, but changed the colors and elements. I just kept the layout and stitching. This program is so easy to manipulate. I absolutely love it!!!

This card is for the Limited Supplies challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. You are to make a THANKFUL card with a bird on it. Fun and easy challenge and I think this card took about 5 minutes to make!
