May is National Scrapbooking month - let Stampin' Up! help you capture your memories with several options!

  Happy Friday - thanks for visiting us this week!!  Did you know that May is National Scrapbooking month?  Stampin' Up! gives you several ways to capture your memories whether you are a traditional scrapbooker, prefer to design your pages digitally (My Digital Studio), or love the new Project Life method.  This week we are sharing some of our scrapbook pages and hope to inspire you!  It's never too late to get started and you'll be so glad that you did!!

  Up first is this great Project Life page submitted by Rachel Yurkanin.  Her son is graduating from high school this year and she is hoping to get his book completed with this awesome method of scrapbooking!  Stampin' Up! offers a great variety of themed Project Life cards, coordinating stamps and Big Shot framelits, albums and pocket pages.  Be sure to check out the retirement list as some are going to be gone soon!  Don't forget to check out Rachel's blog to get more information about her project.

  And next we have this gorgeous traditional scrapbook two-page layout designed by Karla Anders featuring stamps, designer paper and punches.  Be sure to visit Karla's blog here to get all the details for her pages.

  And last is my two-page spread created in My Digital Studio.  I really love digital scrapbooking and it's so easy with MDS.  Sadly, it is retiring so if you're interested in purchasing the software or adding some new downloads, be sure to do it before the end of the month!  And please hop over to my blog here for more details about my project.

Thank you so much for visiting us this week!  We hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!

"F" is for Fabulous Friday Fall-themed projects!!

  "Happy Fall!" and thanks for visiting us this week as we share our Fabulous Friday Fall-themed projects.  This is one of my favorite times of the year...the leaves are beginning to turn shades of crushed curry, cajun craze and cherry cobbler and there's a crisp coolness in the air as summer and it's memories begin to fade.  It's a time to pull out warm comfy sweaters, sip hot apple cider and jump in a big pile of leaves.  What are your favorite things about fall?  Let's see how this season inspired our projects this week...

  First up is this great Fall card is from Rachel Yurkanin.  Please be sure and visit her blog to get more information about the two different techniques she used on this card.
 

  And next we have Karla Anders' fabulous Fall project. She used the new Burlap Ribbon to make roses for her wreath. Hop on over to her blog to get all the details.

   Last up is my Fall scrapbook page that I created with the My Digital Studio digital design software.  We live very close to the beautiful Blue Ridge parkway in Central Virginia and these photos are from a family hike and picnic last weekend.  For more information about my project please check out my blog here.

  Thanks so much for stopping by - we hope you have a fabulous weekend!  Be sure to come back again next week when we showcase the fun new Stampin' Up! Designer Washi tape assortments.

Back to School

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday with the Sisters in Stamping. We are excited to share with you this week some great Back to School projects. It's that time of year, and we know some of you are welcoming it with open arms and others are kicking and screaming as they try to hold onto every last minute of summer if you are lucky enough to have your kids still home. Regardless of which "school" of thought you are in, you will need some ideas so we are here to help you out.

Here is Debbie's back to school project. Her kids really are back to school already. She made a scrapbook page using a layout design she was inspired by on pinterest.  And the best thing of all, it is all digitally made using My Digital Studio. Make sure you head over to Debbie's blog to get more details on how she made her page.

Here is Karla's back to school project.  It's quite a treat that any teacher would welcome on the first day of school (or any day throughout the year to be completely honest). Can you guess what's inside this ruler? In our opinion, the treat inside definitely "rules". Check out Karla's blog for more information.

And last but not least we have Rachel's back to school project.  She created a couple of cute little treats that would brighten the first day of school of any student or teacher. It's a trio of things that would come in handy for either. Jump on over to Rachel's blog for complete details.

Digital Friday

 Welcome to another Fabulous Friday with the Sisters in Stamping.  This week we are sharing with you some digital scrapbook pages that use My Digital Studio.  If you have never tried it, you must do so. You can try it for FREE for 30 days, so what are you waiting for?  Contact your demonstrator for more information.

 And now through June 15 select downloads and printed products are 25% off so it's a great time to try it out.

 

This is Debbie's page. She used one picture and some may think that's not enough for a 12 x 12 page, but look how fun and alive her page is with all of the other great details she added. One photo is all that is needed to really showcase these fun girls. Head over to Debbie's blog for complete details.

 



Here's Rachel's page. Her page uses more pictures but less accessories because she wanted to capture the personality of her son who always thinks less is more. Clean and simple, that's how he likes it.  Check out Rachel's blog for more details.

Remember, go check out all the downloads and printed products that are on sale. You can even go to the My Digital Studio site to learn more.

Thanks for visiting us today. See you next Friday.

Debbie, Karla & Rachel

Scrapping with My Digital Studio

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday here at Sisters in Stamping.  We have decided to focus this last Friday in May (National Scrapbooking Month) to showcasing the My Digital Studio program.  This program is great because it's portable (by laptop), doesn't take up a lot of space, and nothing ever retires so you can use it today and ten years from today.  Doesn't that sound pretty awesome? 

This first page was created by Rachel. Her page is reminding us to take time to enjoy every moment.  To find out a little more about her page visit her BLOG.

Debbie is sharing a Sisters page with us that she made showcasing her beautiful daughters.  It's such a pretty page, you will certainly want to head over to her BLOG for more information.

Karla and Jacque are taking this week off but will be back next week to share with us their talents.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Be sure to take pictures this weekend so you can scrap them soon.

Thanks again for visiting us again this week.

Debbie, Jacque, Karla, & Rachel

My Digital Studio is Fabulous... especially on Friday!

If you haven't yet heard the news, Stampin' Up! released a FANTASTIC digital scrapbooking software package this month called My Digital Studio (MDS).  Priced at just $79.95 it is a fabulous deal!  Creativity goes digital with My Digital Studio! Use the same great artwork, colors, and accessory images found in our current product lines to create personalized cards, photo albums, scrapbooks, and other projects. Once you've created your personalized gift or heirloom, have it printed in our high-quality print facility and delivered to your door; or you can print your creation at home. 

This fabulous software-based design studio is the focus of our Fabulous Friday projects this week.

My contribution this week is the new blog banner seen above.  I started with a blank canvas and used elements from the Happy BDay design kit to create it.  You will find more details on my blog here.

Karla Anders created this great magnet with a calendar.  Check out the details on her blog here.

And how about this card from Rachel Yurkanin?  How cute!  Her blog can be seen here.

This is our final contribution for the week from Jacque Craig.  She created a scrapbook of her 50th birthday celebration.  What you see here is her album cover, isn't her niece precious?!  You will find more on her blog here.

As you can see by the 4 different projects featured here, there are a lot of different things you can do with My Digital Studio.  I hope you are inspired to create something if you already own this fabulous software, or are tempted to make a purchase.
