My December Wallpaper

I wish I could show you my cool projects I made using My Digital Studio, but they are Christmas presents, so... I'll have to wait until December 26th.  :)  This is actually the first time I have sent something to be printed by Stampin' Up! and mailed to me.  It was so easy and cool!  I can't believe I haven't done this before!!  I can't wait to see how they turned out!

Here is just a little something I whipped up using MDS2 and the Christmas Jingle kit.  I always make a quick calendar of the month for my computer desktop.

Have a great week!!

January Wallpaper

I have had a December 2011 calendar on my computer for too long.  I decided to just make my own computer desktop wallpaper using My Digital Studio.  Quick and simple!  I added a favorite picture and I'm done.  Can't wait to do this again for February. 

If you don't have My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up! yet, then check back February 1st.  You can try it out for FREE for the whole month of February!

Happy Stamping!

12th Day of Christmas

Since Christmas is tomorrow, I thought it was perfect timing to show off the December calendar page today.  We went to the Festival of Trees for a fun girls only outing when we were in Boise over Thanksgiving.  Way cool!  It really helps to put you in the Christmas spirit!

10th Day of Christmas

My son really didn't want to dress up much for Halloween this year, but his Uncle Steve sent him a flight suit, so he couldn't resist.  Plus, the temptation of candy was too much. 

I love this page because I used a design from a Halloween Goody bag to add an embellishment.  Why re-create the wheel?

8th Day of Christmas

August is my son, Dylan's birthday month.  He now gets to share it with his niece, Callie, but he doesn't mind.  He adores her!!

I wanted to add some more pictures to this page, so I decided to create a mini album to hook to the front.  Well... when you are crafting after midnight, you don't always think things through.  I made a matchbook style album, but tied a knot on the ribbon.  It would be fine, except that the inside pages are supposed to flip out.  I finally got so frustrated with slipping the knot down to open the book, that I added some more ribbon and tied a bow.  I'm sure my in-laws will appreciate that!

This is after you flip down the swimming picture.

The Matchbook/Flipbook was easier to work with once I replaced the knot with a bow!

7th Day of Christmas

I LOVE this page!  We had a family picture taken at the zoo, but the best part is when we were visiting the museum with Bry's family and his dad, who is a pilot, climbed up to look into the window of one of the helicopters... then we saw the sign.  Too funny!

6th Day of Christmas

June is Kaity's birthday month, so she is the star of this page.  I love the turtle picture at the top!  (Yes, that is a baby turtle.  They are all over the roads in Minnesota in the spring/early summer.)  These pictures really show off her personality.

3rd Day of Christmas

I decided to focus on my husband, Bryan for the month of March, since his birthday is on the 6th.  The sayings I stamped worked perfect with these pictures!  The paper is from a Simply Scrappin' Kit that will be in the upcoming Occasions Mini.

2nd Day of Christmas

I love Valentine's Day and the month of February.  This picture shows a lot of love.  ;)  Oh - I almost forgot to mention that I used the gorgeous new paper that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration Jan. 24 - March 31st.  I am absolutely in love with the colors and designs!!

1st Day of Christmas

Well, I thought if would fit perfectly to showcase my Calendar pages with the 12 days of Christmas, since there are 12 months and the last one is December.  I create one of these every year for my in-laws and my husband.  (The rest of my family makes their own.)  I'm usually pretty bad at the journaling part, so... I just hope they remember who people are.  ;)

The pictures that I took at Olympic Park in Park City, UT were perfect for January.
