My Digital Studio - Photo Cards!






Good Morning and Happy Halloween!!!

Yesterday I was playing around with Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio - and decided to go into the card section and check out the designer cards already set and ready to go.

I tweaked two of them, added photos and voila! Quick, very personal cards with recent photos of the kiddos and I :)  The main paper for both cards is whisper white...






Next I'll post some of the latest scrapbook pages from an album I'm creating...

Happy Creating!

My Digital Studio - Birthday Gift



Yesterday my best friend's daughter celebrated her 9th Birthday!  Since I didn't get to see the Birthday Girl, I wanted to send her something special .. so I created this 12x12 page for their scrapbook with My Digital Studio.  


Even though this page was made as a gift, this is a service I offer in my Stampin' Up! Business.

Send me your photos, and I can scrapbook them for you! Either digitally (like the one above), traditionally or a hybrid of the two.  I can create individual pages, full albums, whatever your scrapbooking needs are!

Contact me for more information  =)

Scrapbooking my Baba with My Digital Studio



A nostalgic page using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio

Now that the cold weather is upon us here in Canada, I have pulled out the quilts that my Baba (Ukrainian Grandmother) made for me when I was a child.

They carry such fond memories and I feel so loved and at peace knowing that my Baba's hands quilted each patch. She passed away in 1994 and I still miss her greatly to this day.

These are the only two pictures I have in my laptop of my Baba and I felt the need to scrapbook them tonight.

Memories...what scrapbooking is all about.



Happy Scrapbooking!

My Digital Studio - 20% OFF Today for Blog Readers!



My Digital Studio was released October 1st! Are you wondering what all the excitement is about? Well, let me share the exciting news with you.


My Digital Studio is the amazing software program from Stampin’ Up!

The software uses digital layers of paper, stamps, and embellishments to create cards, calendars, scrapbook pages, and even entire bound photo books.
Basically, you take the stamps, papers, and punches you already love and use them on your computer. With My Digital Studio, you can load the software onto both your desktop and your laptop to take your crafting projects with you. It’s also easy to create several copies of a project to give as gifts (HOLIDAY PRESENTS!!). And since it is software, it is fantastic for teens and guys that would never consider traditional rubber stamping! Even though there are over 2,000 unique elements included in the software, you are going to be amazed at how user friendly and affordable it is.


My Digital Studio is extremely easy and so much fun!!! You will LOVE it!! It is created for both the beginner scrapbooker and the advanced scrapbooker!

Here are some quick features:
  • 61 Stamp Sets with over 2000 different stamp images! (Some retired favourites, some current ones and some new ones not available)
  • 6 Designer Kits with tons of pages to choose from! You can just add photos or edit the layouts make it your own creation. (Simply Scrappin’ Kits)
  • 12 different Punches
  • 12 Designer Paper Patterns that can be used in over 50 colours
  • Embellishments that include the Designer Kits Elements, buttons, brads, ribbon, hodgepodge hardware, staples and stitching.

To view the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio Commercial CLICK HERE

More cool features..
  • You can change the colour of the professional done layouts
  • Alter your brads so they are oval, add text easily
  • The program can load your photos or you can add them yourself - When you select a photo and drop it onto a "template" the computer knows which size the photo needs to be for the template.

Note: TODAY - October 5th, 2009 I am offering my 20% Demo Discount to my blog readers! This special is available only through me - Jennifer DiMarco - and only available to Canadian residents (excluding Quebec at this time). Contact me today for your 20% savings! Email me by midnight October 5th!

On a Pedestal 8x8 Scrapbook Page

Currently I am scrapbooking in both 12x12 and 8X8.
I love the 8x8 scrapbook style...you can really focus on single page layouts and one awesome photo that just says it all! Also, our the Stampin' Up! 8x8 albums are chipboard on board albums -so you can decorate them any way you wish..for whatever the occasion!

This page was completely cased by my downline and friend Michelle. Thanks for the inspiration!



Stamp Sets: On a Pedestal, Varsity Alphabet, Circle Circus
Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon

The pic was taken August 2009

Scrapbooking Pregnancy Photo - viewer discretion is advised! lol.



Okay, so I'm not sure how many people would actually do this - show their scrapbooked pregnancy pictures (and not great ones I might add) of them at about 5 weeks before delivery!! Bah, whatever, I have nothing to hide...here I am in April 2004 - pregnant with my daughter Isabella who is now 5 years old. Oh and just to give you perspective - at 40 weeks gestation - I was measuring 46 weeks!


You'll notice from the full page below my HUGE error. Always have a 12x12 craft keeper with you for travelling. There is nothing worse then working hard on a scrapbook page and having it crumple during transport. I'm sure I will be able to get most of the bends out, but figured - again, hey if I'm gonna show you the preggo pic, I might as well show you the crumples too! lol.




This 12x12 layout was made using:
Stamp Set: Razzle Dazzle
Cardstock - soft suede, crushed curry
Designer Series Paper: Razzleberry Lemonade
Extras: Big Shot and Top Note Die, Scallop Circle, Circle Punches, Modern Label Punch




Happy Scrapping!

Isabella's Layout



Good Morning!

Here is a layout I made from when my daughter Isabella was born. She was born via emergency c-section (as was my son 2 years earlier). But as you can see she came out a big healthy girl!

Here is a pic of page 1.




And here is page 2. She was born in May - which is why the theme is so Springy!
