2010 Christmas Card #1

Hi Stampers,

Today is the final day to get My Digital Studio (MDS) for 1/2 OFF. . . you can order MDS at www.GeorgiaCaulkins.StampinUp.net or call me at (309) 221-9288.   (It's also the last day to join the SU family for 1/2 off. . . you can visit my website listed above, and my recruiter password is: Glitterbees.)

I LOVE my copy of My Digital Studio, and have a sample to share with you today.  Last night while I was watching TV with my hubby I was playing with MDS on my laptop.  As you know Christmas is coming, so I used MDS to create a photo to go inside my Christmas cards.

Since I still need to stamp my Christmas cards there is a possibility this might not be the final version that goes into the cards, but it's a good start.  If I do have time to create another card you can bet I'll share it with you. :o)

Happy Stamping!

MDS ~ Callie Ann's 3 Month - Part Two

Hi Stampers,

As I mention yesterday today I'd like to share with you another picture I made using My Digital Stuido and Callie Ann's 3 month pictures.  It was so easy to create and I can't wait to get it printed off.

Don't you just love how there is a shadow behind the flower.  I think that adds to the project.

Short post today  . . . .I've been very busy between getting ready for Card Club (Wednesday is this week), preparing my Christmas Card for the Demonstrator Swap and making 12 purses for the craft shows.  I'm almost done and can't wait to share a picture with you. . . maybe tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by!

MDS ~ Callie Ann 3 months

Hi Stampers and Happy Saturday!!!

Yesterday, I took Callie Ann to get her 3 month pictures taken.  They were so cute and it was very hard to choose from all of the pictures they took.  I ended up getting a picture packet which also gave me a CD of all of the pictures from the session and the rights to reprint/reuse them as I want.

Of course the first thing I thought of was My Digital Studio. They had a specialty collage made up and I really wanted it, but I didn't want to spend the extra $60 to get it, so I made my own using the My Digital Studio software.

What do you think???  I can't wait to have it printed and put into a frame.  Isn't Callie Ann so cute!!!

Tomorrow I have another picture to share with you I made using My Digital Studio . . .make sure to check back and see more pictures of Callie Ann.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Day out with Thomas

Hi Stampers,

So this past weekend my family spent in Chicagoland. . . we went to Legoland, saw Thomas the Train and did lots of shopping!!!  It's funny how Rocky bought LOTS more than I did. . . I'm so lucky he loves to shop.  However, he likes to shop at The Bass Pro Shop and Cabelas.

Today I'd like to share a couple of scrapbook pages I made using My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up!

My Digital Studio is priced at $79.95 and worth every penny.  Not only can you use the same great artwork, colors, and accessory images found in our current product line to create personalized digital projects. The options are endless: create photo albums, calendars, and greeting cards using My Digital Studio. Once you've created your personalized gift or heirloom, have it printed in our high-quality print facility and delivered to your door or print it at home.

 
This first page is the cover of my album.
 
 

And this second picture is a page from my album.

My Digital Studio is an awesome way to scrapbook.  I'm thinking about doing a bunch of albums and saving them as DVDs for my children to watch in the years to come.

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for stopping by!

Callie Ann's Announcement

Hi Stampers,

Two post in two days. . . are you as excited as I am???  Callie Ann has been a wonderful baby, but I'm still trying to find time to do everything I need to do in one day. :o)

Today I'd like to share with you the birth announcement that I made using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio.  I had good intentions to stamp Callie Ann's announcements,  but time has gotten away from me and they need to go out now!

It was very quick and easy to create this announcement and I even did with one hand while I was holding my precious Callie Ann. :o)

You can print items from My Digital Studio using your home printer, or you can even order professional prints directly from Stampin' Up!

Now I just need to get my envelopes addressed and mailed out.

As always if you have questions, please ask!

Thanks for stopping by!

Callie Ann

Hi Stampers. . .

Sorry I haven't posted the last couple of days, but I have been in the hospital giving birth to a sweet baby girl.  Her name is Callie Ann, and she was born Friday June 4th at 11:55am.  Callie Ann was 8lbs 14ozs and 20-1/2 inches long.

Here is a picture of our sweet Callie Ann!

And a family picture!

And here we are getting ready to go home!

Blog post might be spotty for a little bit, but I'll keep working on it!  :o)

Georgia's 2010 Calendar

Hi Stampers,

I am so excited to share with you today my 2010 calendar that I decorated using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio.  It was very easy to created the labels to use in my calendar.

First I'll show you a picture of the labels and calendar front I made and printed out on Whisper White card stock.

I used the Designer Label Punch to punch out the months of the year and then folded them in half.  They were attached to the calendar with a staple.  The colors I chose to use was Rose Red and Whisper White.  The butterfly was also done in Whisper White, but I took the Opacity down to 50% to make the Month of the year stick out better.

And now I'd like to share with you a picture of my calendar put together. . . . are you ready? :o)

I would be very excited to show you this calendar in person when we book your Sale-a-bration workshop. :o)

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Sunday!

Goodbye 2009

Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010!!!

Have you made your New Years resolution yet???  If not, you still have a little bit of time to think of something.  Personally I would like to find time to do more scrapbooking.  With baby #2 on the way I've been busy working on Blake's baby book.  It's good motivation thinking in 6 months I have another baby with a whole baby book of it's own.  Now I just need to get busy on the scrapbooks!!! 

Did you notice the new banner on my blog today???  It was made using the My Digital Studio (MDS) software from Stampin' Up!  MDS could be my ticket to getting all caught up scrapbooking before baby #2 arrives. :o)

Well this is the last post for 2009 . . .thanks so much for stopping by and make sure to check back tomorrow.

Have a SAFE New Years!!!

MDS . . inspired by Patty!

Hi Stampers,

I'm sure you all have blogs you check daily, or every other day . . . right? I do too. Beside the idea book and catalog blogs are where I find most of my inspiration. One blog that always gives me inspiration is Patty Bennett's blog. Like most of us Patty has been playing with her My Digital Studio (MDS) program. . . One of the projects she made I just new I wanted to CASE (copy and share everything). Since I too have the MDS software I got right to work.

With the busy season ahead of us I made fliers of my upcoming events to pass out at vendor shows as well as at clubs, workshops and make & take classes. MDS is going to be great to create fliers like this, and just Monday I watched the video on how to created DVD's with this software. . . I can't wait to give it a try.

I know it's small, so if you'd like me to e-mail you this so that you can see my upcoming events . . . please ask!

Thanks for stopping by!
