To get you in the Halloween spirit, the Utah Divas International design team for MDS Monday are to create a card or scrapbook page that is creepy. First I filled the background with Basic Black. Then I created a huge moon using the circle punch filled with Barely Banana color and then decreased the opacity to about 75% to make it a little less bright. Next I used the bat punch and created 5 Basic gray bats flying across the moon. I stamped the tree from the Bold Branches Stamp Brush Set and reduced the size to fit this 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card. I created the sentiment with the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet stamp brush set. As I was doing this, I was inspired to use the o's to create the glowing 'eyes' in the tree. This was a quick card to make and being able to change the size of stamps is one of the great benefits of the My Digital Studio software. Click here to order your own copy. To order any of the downloads used in this project, just click on the name of the download.

I know, I know, I'm late with this post today. I had hoped that today's new My Digital Studio downloads would be on my online storefront by now. Since they are not, here is a different link for them. Download Sept_27 MDS downloads

The card I am sharing was an alternative for yesterday's My Digital Studio Monday post. I used the designer series paper Grateful Hearts Thanksgiving 1-07 filled into the Perfect Label punch. The focal image is the Fall stamp from the Anchored Stamp Brush Set. The Grateful Hearts Thanksgiving Ensemble is a great value as it includes a pumpkin punch, 43 stamp brushes, a set of designer series papers, as well as templates for place cards and napkin rings. If you haven't ordered your yet, be sure to click on the link to purchase it. You will have everything you need to decorate your table and send invitations for Thanksgiving dinner.

Our assignment as the design team for My Digital Studio Monday on Utah Divas International was to create a card or scrapbook page in honor of the official beginning of Fall. I used elements from the designer kit, Grateful Hearts Thanksgiving, to create this card. I added pumpkins from the Holiday Blitz stamp brush set and the Swirling Leaves from the Torn Edges stamp brush set. The letters of the word Fall came from the Grateful Hearts Thanksgiving as well as the phrases. I used a text frame for the word 'brings' and searched through the fonts on my computer to find one as close as possible to the font used for the phrases. The 'leaves' blowing off the tree branches are actually called berries but they work as leaves for me. :o) As always, you can click on the linked product name to order them from my online store.

Supplies:
My Digital Studio (118108)
Grateful Hearts Designer Kit (127620)
Holiday Blitz Stamp Brush Set

My husband is an avid football watcher and the sound of football games either in a stadium or on TV bring back great memories of my marching band and football games in high school…and the often frosty nights. What is your favorite aspect of Fall? Share it with us by posting a comment.

Well…it is still Tuesday in Alaska…barely! I had to wait until NCIS was over to finish this project since it was the first episode of the new season. Here is the link to the new My Digital Studio downloads released today. They are shown on the right hand side of my storefront. Just click on each one to see a larger picture, a description of the download, and to order them. I didn't download any of them today. Instead, I downloaded the Downtown Grunge Photobook Template. It has a wonderful crumpled paper and a couple other great designer papers. I have been eying the wrinkled paper for quite a while. It reminds me so much of antique paper that I created this card using the Open Seas Stamp Brush Set, the wrinkled paper and Vintage Overlay Stamp Brush Set. I hope you like it.

Supplies:

My Digital Studio (118108)
Downtown Grunge Photobook Template (126056)
So Happy for You Stamp Brush Set (retired)

Vintage Overlay Stamp Brush Set (121061)

Stampin' Up! released some terrific My Digital Studio downloads today. There are five that have a Halloween theme and there is an autumn themed designer series paper download. For me, the best download is the Hand-Penned Holidays Stamp Brush Set. I love the elegance of the script writing and fell in love with the stamp set in the Holiday Mini. As a matter of fact, it was the first thing I ordered. I combined this stamp brush set with the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper download to create this lovely Thanksgiving card…well…it could be used as a thank you card in general. I used the color picker to select colors from the designer series paper to fill the Perfect Label punches. I filled the Five-Petal Flower punch with the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper 3. Then I double clicked on the punch, moved the paper fill around until the five-petal flower was in the punch, enlarged the flower until it completely filled the punch, and placed it on the upper left area of the card.Click here to see and order today's downloads.

Our church in addition to devoting a portion of the worship service to remembering and praying for the victims of 9/11 and their families honored and prayed blessings on the teachers and staff of the school on Prince of Wales Island. Since the theme for today is Back to School, I felt it was fitting to create a Thank You card for teachers.

I used the digital form of the retired Play Date Designer Series Paper. One of the beauties of My Digital Studio is that the downloads never retire…yay!!! I used two sizes of the Perfect Label punch, filling one of them with Daffodil Delight and the other with Basic Black. The greeting comes from the School Days II Stamp Brush Set. The greeting has an apple as part of the stamp brush. I wanted to be able to color the apple so I pasted the apple from the School Days stamp brush set colored with Cherry Cobbler over the original apple. While it is quite gratifying to hold a stamp in your hand, ink it up, and then stamp it on paper, the ability to make a stamp smaller and to resize punches really creates added value to My Digital Studio and to digital creations. If you haven't yet given My Digital Studio a try, why not??? Click here to order it right now and get started. I am here to answer your questions and give you help. For those of you who already have My Digital Studio or who use a different digital design program but want to create this card for yourself, just click on the names of the downloads I used to find them in my online store.

Supplies:

My Digital Studio (118108)
Play Date Designer Series Paper – Pattern 2 (121438)
Perfect Label Punch (127340)
Satin Ribbon Digital Download (121063)
