Our mission today was to share our turkeys. I took that to mean to create a turkey, not to share a project that turned out poorly or a 'turkey'. I used a variety of punches to bring this turkey to life and added one of the leaf vein stamps from the Build a Blossom stamp brush set to each feather. I colored the stamp with the same color of the feather using the color picker feature and added the drop shadow for a little bit of dimension.

Supplies:
My Digital Studio (118108) or My Digital Studio Express (124483)
Build a Blossom Stamp Brush Set (124019)
Grateful Heart Thanksgiving Ensemble – pumpkin punch (127620)
Petite Pennants Punch (127352)
Blossom Petal Punch (124018)
Modern Label Punch and oval punch from Punch Shapes download (118853)
Fun Flowers Shapes -3 punch (124453)
Cajun Craze Stripe Designer Series Paper – part of 2010 New Color Patterns free upgrade

I love the way My Digital Studio allows you to change the size and shape of punches and to resize stamps to fit the creative ideas I have. If you haven't given My Digital Studio a try yet, don't wait any longer. Today begins Stampin' Up!'s Online Extravaganza which will run through Nov 30th. Each day will have some spectacular specials, one of which is $40 worth of free downloads when you purchase My Digital Studio Express. So visit my online store daily to see what the specials are each day, then place your order so you don't miss out.

Thanks for coming by to visit today! Do come back here to The Soggy Stamper tomorrow to check out the new digital downloads.

Until the next time…Happy Thanksgiving and blessings,

Here in SE Alaska, the fall colors have already disappeared but God offers us glorious fall colors in our sunsets. This sunset occurred in January. When we were given the color challenge of Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Yellow, I was in a little quandry as I don't have the typical Fall pictures. Then I remember all the beautiful colors of our sunsets and knew exactly what image would be my focal point of this 8" x 8" scrapbook page. Since the photo says it all, I just added three strips of ribbon and a frame around the journaling. I created the frame by layering an Early Espresso-filled Merry Medallion punch over one filled with daffodil yellow. I first tried a pumpkin pie-filled punch and a daffodil yellow-filled punch but the colors were too strong. I really love the thin daffodil yellow border which mimics the daffodil yellow mat around the photo. The beauty of the forests, water, and sunsets of SE Alaska more than make up for the isolation and the 130+ inches of precipitation we get every year.

Supplies:
My Digital Studio (118108)
Merry Medallion Punch from the Merry Medallion Photocard Template (127569)
Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Yellow grosgrain ribbon – 1/4" Ribbon in Basic Colors (118851)

This weekend Stampin' Up! hosted a digital scrapbooking celebration on www.mydigitalstudio.net. Actually it continues through today and you can still get the FREE download if you haven't already done so. On October 4, they released two downloads for Christmas tags. I could have quickly used one of those templates for this tag but I wanted to create my own. I love the Perfect Label Punch, the Deck The Halls Designer Series Paper, and the Bells and Boughs Stamp Brush Set so used them for this tag. I just might have to print this out in multiple copies to use for my tags this year. I challenge you to create a digital tag and email it back to me. I will share them on this blog. Should you need any of the supplies to make this tag, just click on the item name to be taken directly to that location in my online store or make a list of what you need and then enter my store here. Online ordering is easy and your order is delivered right to your door.

Supplies:

Tuesdays are so exciting because Stampin' Up! releases new digital downloads for My Digital studio on Tuesdays. Here is the link for today's downloads: Download MDS_Downloads_-_Oct_25

I have a special treat for you today. A good friend and loyal follower of this blog, Dorothy Cordes, sent me this card she created yesterday. I have not been a fan of the Christmas Jingle Designer Series Paper because it is too retro for my tastes. However, Dorothy's use of it in this card has made me reconsider my position. It is just right for this card! Dorothy also used the digital download of Dasher. Thanks for sharing with us, Dorothy. Any of you other readers who would like to see your work shared on my blog just send me a card and I will be happy to post it.

Until next time…blessings,

Our theme for this My Digital Studio Monday was to pile on the buttons. I just had to use a picture of a great-granddaughter who is 'cute as a button". :o) I discovered that over the last couple years that I have owned My Digital Studio, I have downloaded at least four button files so I used several of them on this scrapbook page.

Supplies:

My Digital Studio (118108)
Christmas Cheer Designer Series Paper #4 from Christmas Cheer Digital Kit download (123596)
Simple Letters Alphabet Punch (1271660 filled with Christmas Cheer Designer Series Paper #1
Candy Cane Designer Buttons (123960)
Button Boquet (118866)

It is 10 p.m. here in Alaska, but it is still Tuesday so I am technically posting this feature on the right day! I was excited to see the new My Digital Studio downloads for today. Here is the link for these new downloads. Download MDS_Downloads_-_Oct_11  I chose to share with you the You & Yours Christmas Photocard Template. I love the colors on it and the subtle background. The picture I wanted to put on the card did not fit in the photo box in the template so I deleted that one and added my own photo box which fit the photo. This picture was taken last Christmas after our family Christmas dinner. Our son-in-law found an old video of the song Jingle Bells with the 'bouncing ball'. Everyone had a handful of jingle bells and we shook them as we sang the song. Boy did the little ones enjoy that!!!

Designer templates are a very quick and easy way to create your Christmas cards. All you have to do is drop in a photo like I did and your card is ready for the printer. However, your creativity isn't limited to just that. All the components of the template are downloaded in individual files as well so you can use them on any project you wish.

Check out the new downloads from today, then visit my online store to order the ones you know you need to have. Thanks for stopping by today and…

…let the Christmas creating begin!

I added a satin ribbon and two rhinestone embellishments to the card. There really wasn't much else I wanted to change from the original template. This template makes a beautiful hybrid card.
