We're on vacation this week – the first half was spent in Washington DC! After 5 days of walking and walking and walking some more…… we're back home and having a VERY lazy day keeping our feet UP on the couch! Which is giving me some time to catch up on some MDS pages : ) — I had every intention of working on some pages in the evenings…. but Brad and I were so exhausted that we passed right out along with Landon around 9 pm every night – so that didn't happen! Which means I skipped MDS Tuesday…. so here I am on Wednesday : ).

 

I'm still not working until next Monday… but…. I leave My Digital Studio out of the "work" category because it's still something I simply enjoy for myself. So if you've sent me an e-mail over the past few days – hang in there! I'll be back to e-mails and the rest on Monday!

 

The pages I'm sharing today are of Landon eating "Real" food for the first time… It's crazy, but I've HARDLY used the "Play Date" line – even though it's perfect for kids photos! When I came to that realization, and then saw how great the line matched with the bib he was wearing, it wasn't too hard to throw this layout together…

(In addition to the My Digital Studio software and content that comes with it, I also used the following downloads: Eat Cake DSP, 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/2" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Soft Subtles Buttons, Baker's Twine and Play Date Embellishments)

My Mother in Law asked me to make a blank Scrapbook for a lady that she works with who is retiring. She wanted a poem that she had picked out to be the front page, and then wanted the book filled with minimally decorated pages that had lots of room for people to write her letters as a keepsake. The woman who was being given the book is an avid birdwatcher, so the paper and big shot die was picked out to go along with that.

As always, I have a terrible time getting good scrapbook pictures!

I decorated the album with some ribbon…

The first Poem Page..

One of the layouts for people to sign…

Another layout for people to sign – there were 25 pages like these – I just alternated between Garden Green and Certainly Celery for the background, and changed the Designer Paper strips from page to page…

WHAT TO ORDER:

Certainly Celery Cardstock (105125), Garden Green Cardstock (102584), Tempting Turquoise Cardstock (102067), So Saffron Cardstock (105118), Very Vanilla Cardstock (101650), Flock Together Designer Series Paper (114018), Tempting Turquoise 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (109038), Masterpiece Ribbon Originals (116230), Orchard Ribbon Originals (116232), Big Shot Die Cut Machine (113439) and Birds and Branches Decorative Strip Die (114529)

6:30 – 9:30 pm
at Aly's Stamping Studio in West Irondequoit, NY

Non-Refundable Pre-Pay Deadline: January 4th

Join me for what is the start of our MONTHLY Scrapbooking Class! The first class will be held on January, but after this January 22nd date, the Scrapbooking Classes will be held the 2nd Friday of every month! You can mark your calendars well in advance and not miss out!

Each Scrapbooking Class will have a theme, and you'll complete 2, 2-page 12×12 layouts – 4 pages total – that go along with that theme!

In addition, each Scrapbooking Class will include in it's fee a "Product Base" — whatever you don't use from the "Product Base" on the layouts that you create that evening, is yours to go home with and make MORE layouts with to coordinate!

Our first Scrapbooking Class is a "Winter" Scrapbooking Class. Create elegant pages for winter photos from 1940 or save them to use on photos that you will be taking in 2020!

Here's a look at just one of the layouts we will create that evening (these pages are designed to go side-by-side so the second page doesn't have a title) Just as an aside, scrapbook photos are very difficult to photograph. I did the best I could, but the photos just doesn't do these layouts justice! If you would like to see them in person before you sign up for the class, stop on by my studio at any time and I would be happt to show them to you!:

You don't need to bring any photos with you to the scrapbooking classes, the pages are designed so that you can just add those on your own later, once you find the perfect photo! NOTE: Any scrapbook page transforms once photos are added – keep that in mind!

The product base for this class is 1/2 a pack of Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper (6 sheets total) and 1 full pack of Snowflake Printed Window Sheets (2 sheets total). Here's a look at those products ($15.34 value):




The RSVP Deadline is a FIRM January 4th. The Window Sheets cannot be physically ordered past that date, they retire, so this deadline is very important!

The cost of this class is $18 and includes the product base items and all other supplies needed.

You can put a check or money order made payable to Aly Schilling in the mail and send it to 67 Covington Rd, Rochester NY 14617. Or, you can pay online now using a safe and secure checkout with your credit/debit card using the link below ($1 transaction fee applied).

Hope you'll join us!

]]> http://alystamps.com/scrapbook-your-christmas-memories/feed 0 Pumpkin Patch Scrapbooking! http://alystamps.com/pumpkin-patch-scrapbooking http://alystamps.com/pumpkin-patch-scrapbooking#comments Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:00:25 +0000 Aly http://alystamps.com/?p=516 Things have been awful busy around here, but I forced myself to sit down and get a Digital Scrapbook layout done! This is the first layout I've done for Landon that wasn't part of the calendar, and will be for his actual baby book… exciting!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

  • These pages are going to be for a "Hybrid" Album. A Hybrid Album is when you design your pages in My Digital Studio, have them printed on individual pages, not bound in an album (use our Professional Print Services for Best Results), and then add some actual accessories (the REAL thing) over top of the digital accessories.
  • When importing accessory images for the purpose of Hybrid Scrapbooking, you don't want to re-size the images. They are automatically imported true to size, so they will line up with the real ones correctly. If you're not doing Hybrid Scrapbooking, feel free to re-size, just be careful of pixilating.
  • When you want to replicate an area of a page, drag your mouse to select all of the images and then copy and paste. The example? I did the first page and created the circles and embellishments down the side. I wanted the same patterns/accents on my other page. Rather then repeating all of the steps, I grouped all of the embellishments together and pasted them onto the other page. A real time saver!

 

WHAT TO ORDER:

My Digital Studio (118108) and Cast-A-Spell Digital Download (118114)

Purchase My Digital Studio from me and receive 1 hour of one-on-one training. I'm My Digital Studio Certified and ready to answer your questions!
