Digital Scrapbooking

Creativity goes Digital with My Digital Studio from StampIn Up.

I'm so excited to share my most recent project with you. For a wedding gift for my daughter's teacher from the entire class, I created a cookbook using My Digital Studio (Item #118108, $79.95). I had each of the students send me 4 of their favorite recipes. I was able to paste and copy each recipe from a word file into my scrap book. I included class pictures and marriage advice from the kids. Then I used SIU high quality printing service to print the finished project and it was delivered to my front door in just 5 business days.

Definitely Decorative

Check out my kitchen wall!

You may remember 2 Christmas's ago I placed some of the StampIn' Up!'s pre-cut Christmas stars in this picture frame. Then in June one of my girls asked if I was ever going to take down that Christmas Decoration, I asked why? Christmas will be here in just 6 short months, and it was! But I finally did change my decor in January, my family is very happy. I just added some Chocolate Chip/Sanded looking Designer Series Paper (retired maybe 2 or more years ago). The flowers are from a big box craft store and the frame is from another Home Decor big box store.

BUT check out the vinyl decor' elements on the wall. The swirly lines are retired, but they brought a similar but fresher look in the 2009-10 Definitely Decorative mini catalog (pg 11, Flourishes, $14.95) , I did add the saying this year (pg 18, Chocolate, Great Dreams, medium, $14.95).

Our Vinyl Decor is inexpensive and so easy to apply. When your ready to change your decor, the vinyl easily comes off. Therefor you can change your decor often. I just love our home decor line, its such a wonderful way to express your creativity in your own home.

ENJOY!
