My Digital Studio Scrapbook Pages {Flying a Kite}

My 3 1/2 year old recently got her first kite. Neither my husband nor I are experienced kite fliers, so we tried our best to “teach” our daughter the ropes.

She didn’t need much instruction though, and basically got the hang of it all on her own. She did think it was pretty funny to run straight toward my husband so the kite would crash into him when she passed by.

I’d also like to note her footwear: the ladybug rain boots were all her idea!

I made these 12×12 scrapbook pages using My Digital Studio (MDS). The background paper is called Spring Shades and it’s so pretty. The papers are slightly distressed and faded, with floral or botanical images. I chose the green here to go with all the grass in my photos. Below (left) is a sample of the other papers in the collection.Other elements I used in MDS for these pages were Rough Type Alphabet stamp set (above) for the letters, Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon, and the scallop edge punch. My font colors are Tempting Turquoise, Cameo Coral, Summer Sun, Whisper White, and Chocolate Chip.


My Digital Studio {First Birthday Invitations}

I am working on some invitation ideas for 1st birthdays. This round is for boys, and I’m going to come up with some for girls as well.

I like to start by looking at online invitation sites for ideas and layouts, then using the My Digital Studio program (MDS), I make my own version.

Sometimes I will make the design by hand and sometimes I’ll print it out on card stock or glossy card stock. Of course I prefer the 3D handmade version most times, but sometimes both are nice.

Version 1: Created in MDS using Hoppy Memories DSP, tempting turquoise, star punch, circle punch, serif numbers, big bold birthday


Version 2: Based on design from tinyprints.com. Created in MDS with chocolate chip background, TIZA font in bashful blue, certainly celery, and so saffron.


Version 3: Created in MDS using tempting turquoise background, Big Bold Birthday circles; truck made from tag punch, circle punch, square punch; All in the family stamp set


Version 4: MDS created using My Sweet Pea Digital Kit, Curly label punch, circle punch, big bold birthday.

Our Thanksgiving Menu made with My Digital Studio

Thanksgiving Menu-001

I made a quick version of our menu for Thanksgiving. There will likely be a few more things on the list, like my Grandma’s homemade spaghetti, broccoli rabe, stuffed artichokes (the things we have EVERY holiday).

OK, well I have a bit more cooking to do. The pie turned out great, the cheesecake doesn’t have a crack in sight! I’m going to be a very happy camper tomorrow!
