This sketch challenge from Stamping 411 was fun to use. I created this card using My Digital Studio because we are still visiting family in Seattle and I haven't unpacked my stamping supplies that I brought along on our 2 month trip to the 'lower 48'. I chose to use elements from The Open Sea stamp set and the Nautical Expedition Designer Series papers. I really love this combination of the stamp set and the papers. To finish off the card, I added a Baker's Twine bow.
Stamp Brush Set: The Open Sea (124112)
Paper: Night of Navy card stock
Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper (124111)
Other: square punch
Baker's Twine (126029)

I chose to use the Flap Fold Technique from the June/July 2007 Technique Junkies Newsletter to make a graduation card for a neighbor's son. I tweaked the design to make a pocket on the flap to hold money as a graduation gift. (What college-bound kid doesn't need money?) I used A Sense of Time stamp set for my creation. The photos show the card folded and partially opened so you could see the money pocket.

I love this image but have not purchased the stamp set yet. What I have done is purchased the Open Sea Stamp Brush Set and the digital Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper to use with My Digital Studio. I printed out both the stamp brush and the designer series paper on Very Vanilla card stock. I crumpled both the image and the designer series paper then smoothed it out and sponged the wrinkles with Crumb Cake ink. I distressed the edges using the distressing tool in the Cutter Kit. An Early Espresso 3/8" Taffeta ribbon and bow finish off the card. I made this card for my husband's birthday not knowing that he really loves the nautical theme. The card was sure a winner! This is the same dimensions and design as the card I posted earlier. I am reposting the card here so you can see the difference a little details can make.
Stamp Brush Set: The Open Sea (124112)
Paper: Very Vanilla card stock (101650)
Early Espresso card stock (119686)
Baja Breeze card stock (111352)
Nautical Expedition #3 DSP (124111)
Other: Square punch filled with the DSP
Early Espresso 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon (119964)
Cutter Kit (106958)

Check out the new digital downloads for this week and then click here to go order them. On the right-hand side of the page are the new downloads. Click on the price and you will be taken to the page where you can order the item. I really love Tuesdays now because we get new downloads. Yep, I sure do!
Download MDS_Downloads_-_May_17
Did you know you can print out a catalog of all the My Digital Studio digital content and downloads? Click here to download the catalog. Then print it out…yes….there are almost a hundred pages now. Therefore you will need to print them out double-sided. Once I printed out my catalog, I print out the new downloads each week and add them to the catalog. This way the catalog is always current. I mark the downloads I already have so I don't duplicate orders. It is so handy to look through the catalog to remind you what downloads you have and their item numbers.
Thanks for visiting today. Be sure to order your favorite of the new downloads, or at least take a look at them and print them out.
Happy crafting,

Our assignment for this week was to create using shades of blue. I love these pictures I took of a hydrangea bush beside our daughter's home in Tacoma, WA, and knew they would be perfect for this project. It is an 8" x 8" scrapbook page. I first opened My Digital Studio and chose Scrapbook > 8×8> design your own. I added a Bashful Blue background. Next I added a photo box and expanded it to leave just a border of Bashful Blue. I inserted my picture and reduced the opacity to 40%. Then I added the three photos with drop shadows. To finish off the page I spelled out 'hydrangea' using the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet stamps going down the side.To order the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet Stamp Brush Set, just click on the link in the recipe below. The link will take you right to my online stamp store.
Tip: stamp your letters along the side. Then use the 'align' tool to center the letters evenly and then the 'space evenly vertical' option in the align tool. While you still have all the letters clicked, group them so you can position them as a group.
Thanks for joining me here today. Do come back over the next couple of days. I have a digital/hybrid card to share that I made for my hubby's birthday.
Happy Stamping,

Happy Belated Mother's Day!!! I hope you had a great day no matter if you are a mother or not.
The theme for this week for the Utah Divas International design team was to create a Mother's Day card. I chose to use a stamp from the new stamp brush set Green Tea. I used the Fun Flower 1 punch and filled it with Pink Pirouette color. The background paper is from the Green Tea Designer Series Paper. A satin ribbon and bow, an antique brad, and some pearls finish off the card.
I remember and am most thankful to my mom for the loving time she spent in creating some pretty special outfits for me to wear. Money was tight but her sewing skills allowed me to have a few stylish skirts and dresses.
What memories of your mother are special to you? Please feel free to share them in the comments.

The theme this week for the UDI MDS Monday design team was cupcake or cupcake punch. This card is the result. It is not quite my style because the colors are primary colors and I tend to choose softer colors. However, the beauty of owning My Digital Studio is that you can experiment with colors, papers, and embellishments that you wouldn't ordinarily purchase because you aren't committed to a bunch of supplies you'll never use again. Have I told you how much I LOVE My Digital Studio? If you haven't ordered your copy yet, hurry and click here to place your order! I didn't like the flat look of the Kiwi Kiss background so I stamped Vintage Overlays #1 in Soft Suede on the card and moved it around so it would be just on the edges of the card. I stamped it a second time and clicked on the mirror image button so that it would be on both sides of the card.
