Carnival Party featuring the Big Top Suite

My baby turned 5 yesterday and we had a special Carnival party for her.  Lucky for me she picked a Carnival theme right before the release of the new catalog so when we seen the Big Top Suite (pg. 62) in the new book we knew it would be perfect for her party.  She loved it!

So I used the Big Top Birthday designer series paper for a lot of the items I made and used those colors throughout the party.  To create the goody bags and inside of the invitation I purchased the Big Top Embellisments on My Digital Studio and easily made goodie bags, signs for the games, and other accents. 

These were the centerpieces.  The "vase" was made using the 2-4-6-8 box measurements and cut at 7".

These were the goody bags designed and made with My Digital Studio.  I printed at home so the best paper I found for these bright colors was glossy photo paper. 

This was our cupcake holder.  It is a little lopsided but I just wanted to show you how I used the same DSP to dress it up from the plain white that it came in.

We created games and made signs for all of them using My Digital Studio:

Lastly, I dressed up the water bottles with DSP too.  No picture ;(. 

It was a lot making all of these projects and being able to match everything perfectly with the SU products.  My daughter had a lot of fun and loved all her goodies.

Have a great Sunday!

New Blog Banner!

I get so excited when I learn to do something new and especially when it is a "techy" thing.  I just designed and uploaded my very first blog banner.  It was really easy to make with My Digital Studio.  I followed some simple instructions created by Patty Bennett and in less than 10 minutes I was done!  What do you think?!

I love My Digital Studio!

My Digital Studio Video

Hello Everyone!

I have a couple stamping projects to share with you later today. However, for now I wanted to show you a video on My Digital Studio. As you know, Stampin' Up! has a program where you can do digital scrapbooking. As much as I enjoy traditional scrapbooking, I have found that with My Digital Studio (MDS), I can get through more projects, easier, and faster. Best of all it looks great! In addition to scrapbooking I have created a newsletter, flyers, calendars and even a blog header with MDS. You can also create cards and invitations.

Many of you have asked me about this program and are interested in seeing how it works. Here is a short (2 min) video that gives you a brief overview of the program. Click here to see the video. Please contact me if you have any question.

Have a great day!
