This card was just that. Too easy! Chocolate chip base, DSO striped paper, one LOVE stamp and a button! I added the mini library clip, but other than that...oober easy! You can do this one! I was inspired by a card on Tami Waddells facebook. I liked the easy but cute look of it. Gotta love those big buttons!

I have been in the mood for Valentine's day lately. It seems so fresh and new after the long holiday season. It means spring is just around the corner! I am loving the Love DSO from Stampin' Up! I used the xo paper and thought my big XO dies from the Big Shot would work great! I used going grey paper and then glittered them using the 2way glue pen and dazzling diamonds glitter. Gotta love the bling! Quick and easy card!

I love this designer scrap page from Stampin' Up! It is the perfect colors and theme for these pictures from our family trip to Sedona in 09. The great thing about these pages is that you can modify them to fit. On the original page there was a bicycle image. I removed it and added the flourish under Sarah and balanced that with making the clock by Ethan a darker brown. I also added the brown brads on the two sides. It is nice to have such a great jump start on making your own design. You can also change the colors of the paper and use the layout over and over again! gotta love it!

Stampin' Up! has been adding loads of awesome downloads for My Digital Studio. I love how quick and easy it is to get more stuff! I just click, pay, and download and I can use it instantly!! Talk about instant gratification! Gotta love it! This page is one that was designed by Stampin' Up! I just added the silver accents. (gotta make it my own!) I decided to go with a black and white photo of the family to fit the vintage feel of the page. Yet another thing you can instantly do. Change a color photo to black and white. Very cool..... I have some cute Valentine projects to share....stay tuned!!

Today is my dear friend Kimber's birthday. She is my 'stampin' mama'. She is the one I signed up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator under.....15 years ago! She has been super supportive and a great friend for all those many years. We have gone to lots of Stampin' Up! events together. In honor of her birthday, I made this digital scrap page for her. These are pictures from leadership in Nashville just a few weeks ago. I used a designer template from the Always Elegant collection. I love the soft colors. I added the bermuda ribbon and changed the other blues to match. I was trying to match my awesome sweat suit I was wearing to the Make and takes. Yes, I did wear my cowboy boots with that. Hey, make and takes is all about US! No need to dress up for that one...I had to be comfortable! Besides, by this point, I was just about worn out from all the fun! Do I look punchy in this picture? Yeah....I was......and I even went out on the town after this! Gotta love Nashvil...

Today is my mom's birthday. I thought it would be nice to do a scrapbook page for her in honor of her special day. My mom is a wonderful person. Really. She is just one of the best people I know. I am honored to be her daughter. I hope I can be half as wonderful as she is when I grow up. My mom has been scrapbooking longer than I have....well, let's say...she has been buying scrapbooking supplies longer than I have. She is a real perfectionist when it comes to...well...everything. Scrapbooking has been hard for her. I introduced her to My Digital Studio last fall and she is doing awesome with it! She has probably scrapped more in the last few months than she has in 10 years! So, if YOU are wondering if MDS is for you....if you are like my mom, it IS! Happy Birthday mom! I love you!!

Here is a Love card in a less traditional color scheme. I love how the artist used a button for the O and cut the V out of blue paper. Very cute. The striped ribbon is toooo yummy!! yes, I do have a huge drawer overflowing with ribbon. My Name is Beckie and I hoard ribbon......lol
