You Turkey

Thanksgiving is coming, my favorite holiday of the year. We have hosted Thanksgiving Dinner for over 10 years and even though I usually am so tired I don't even remember eating dinner it is still a time I look forward to every year. I saw an adorable Turkey made with the Sweet Treat Cups available in the SU! Holiday Mini and stopped everything I was doing to make one myself. Yapha on SCS inspired me to make my Tom turkey and if you would like to know how to make one just like him, let me know and I will be glad to show you. His belly is full of M&M's that are easily accessed from the back.

My Digital Studio first card

In My Digital Studio you can pick a template or totally design a card on your own. I added the brads under the "stamped image" and let MDS do the rest. I think this card is adorable.

Page two is from the pumpkin carving at my Mom's house. These are my sister's kids and Brad's fiance' Meg.

My Digital Studio

Where have I been you may be asking. Well, I got a copy of Stampin' Up's My Digital Studio and I have been playing. Even being as computer illiterate as I am I got the hang of this program right away. I even installed it myself! So I am going to show you a project I worked on the first day. It is a 6x6 page. My kids are at the base of the tree and my niece and nephews are in the tree. I sent this in to the SU! printer and I can not wait to get it back.

Deal of the Week #4

The last October Deal of the Week has been announced and it is the Pirate and Princess party kits shown on pages 74-75 and 174-175! Until October 31^st, you can get these kits—no limits—for just $9.99 instead of $15.95 each. These are an awesome option to throw together a great party in a snap!
