StampingBetty in Canada

My Digital Studio  is an intuitive digital design software featuring Stampin' Up! 's® exclusive artwork, colors, and templates. This is my first effort using it. I decided to  make a 12"x12" page with red riding hood DSP in the back ground. It is an exciting  new tool I hope to get better at using! Imagine making pages right where your photos are! I choose Night of Navy and Chocolate Chip Accents. It was pretty easy and I am satisfied with the results. I still need to figure out a lot of the ins and outs of the program but it looks fairly easy to produce high quality scrapbook pages and cards and more! Stay tuned ! 

We always have so much fun! A great group of ladies gather in South Surrey, British Columbia and spend the day stamping away making pretty cards with a variety of techniques. It's mostly seniors so it's always a pleasure to see the smiling ladies who love to make cards and the snacks and prizes are always fabulous. The cost is $25 donation to  Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation   and with a $10 fee for supplies and believe me it's worth it. If you want to attend or donate prize items you better act fast because it's on Wednesday July 6th and i know the cards have been in the works since the beginning of the year so the anticipation is part of the excitement. The grand prize this year is a 5 piece set of lovely luggage. R.S.V.P. is an absolute must www.newwestmommmy.stampinup.net Additional events can be held for large groups wanting to support this cause.

I love the Stampin'Up! glass glitter and had a bit of fun with it on this card! I like using Crystal Effects to adhere it. I also used a the Greet Card Kids stamp set, Black Satin Ribbon and my Big Shot for the polka dot background and to cut the circle and scallop. I made a ton of these until my glass glitter was just about empty! Valentine's Day is long gone but these cards make it less than a distant memory for me.  I could not resist throwing in a photo of my six month old with her 2 year old sister hamming it up for the camera.  I hope you like this card made with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and my brayer using Real Red, Silver and Whisper White Cardstoc k. I also used the Decorative Label Punch with the stamps from Charming and Artistic Etchings. 

All I can think about is Sale-A-Bration! I am looking forward to 2011!
