Back in the swing of things!

Wow...it has been too long since I've posted and shared projects. There was a tragedy in my family and it has been an emotional time, but  am getting back in the swing of things with my class planning and all this wonderful creative stuff.

I participated in my first swap with an incredibly talented group of demonstrators, my card was a bit late due to the circumstances, but I liked how it turned out. But I must say it was a bit more challenging than I has thought since I only had my starter kit of cardstock.

Supplies Used: Whisper White CS

Wild Wasabi Designer Paper

Baroque Motifs Stamp set

Chocolate Chip Ink Pad

Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon

Mini Library Clips

Tomorrow evening I will add the wonderful cards I received in the swap. But for tonight my second card is from my Upline Allison Okamitsu, welcoming me to the Stampin' Up family and with it she sent some goodies that I will be able to use to keep organized and to help with a future class or stamp group idea. Thanks Allison...YOU ROCK!

Have a great night,

Cathy

My Digital Studio - Must Have

I have not been one for the digital scrapbooking, but then I`ve not really given it a try. For those of you who are on the fence about this, you have the perfect opportunity to try out some great layouts and ideas with Stampin`Up!`s MDS Express Free 30 Day Trial!!
I downloaded it myself last night and have made a couple small simple projects with it.  I love it and with all the digital downloads available, there is something for everyone and preset layouts are available if you are stuck for ideas. I will be spending more time playing with this over the next few days but am really enjoying this. And even if you use the MDS, once your printed book/card arrives you can still add some little embellishments if you`d like.

The first picture is a Keith Urban card that I did up to print for a few friends of mine who are as obsessed with said fellow as I am :)

This picture is set up as a 12 x 12 scrapbook page and I just chose a couple of pics from our Zoolights trip that was just myself and my kids. It was really a good night and I loved spending time with my babes. Both were done with the My Digital Studio Express Free Trial!

If you`ve ever thought about trying digital scrapbooking....even just for a moment...NOW is the time!!

Have a great night!
