Stamping With Juanita

Thursday Color Challenge #4

Sorry I'm a little late with today's Color Challenge. I've been watching a friend's baby and he's been kind of fussy.  Here's the colors for this challenge.

This week we are going with four colors. Here's what I've done with these colors. I'm not sure this is the best example of this color combination. I made this page with My Digital Studio. I got the page layout from PageMaps.

I can't wait to see what you can make with these colors. Once you've made your project, whether it's a card, a scrapbook page or a 3-D project, post it and share the link here.

Soul Scrappers Sketch Challenge #5

This is the page is made for Soul Scrapper's Sketch Challenge 5. Even though I have mostly boys, I tend to use a lot of flowers in my layouts. For this one, I was trying to get away from that tendency, even though my oldest daughter is in the photos, too. I did this page with My Digital Studio. All of the paper is from My Sweet Pea Designer Kit. This was my first chance to use the New Satin Ribbons that were just released. I also used the School Book Serif alphabet. As you can see, I resized the "i" to make it stand out more.

You can see more of my digital layouts in my Digital Album to give you some ideas for you creations. You are more than welcome to CASE my pages if you would like to.

Scrapbook Sketch Challenge #5

On Stampin' Connection, which is a Ning site for Stampin' Up! demonstrators, we had a Scrapbook Sketch Challenge. Here is the page that I did for this challenge.

I love these challenges, too, because it helps me to get more scrapbook pages done. This page was done using My Digital Studio. I used some of the NEW Spring Shades DSP on this page. I also used buttons from Button Latte.

Thursday Color Challenge #3

Ok, so here are the colors for this week's Color Challenge:

And here's the card that I made using these colors:

This was a very easy card to make. I did use Baroque Motif on the Orchid Opulence piece so that it wasn't so plain. The color combination worked really well for the flower and butterfly from the Garden Whimsy stamp set. As I'm sure you can tell, this card was made with My Digital Studio.

Now I'd love to see what you make using these colors. You may also use neutral colors such as white or vanilla. Then post it and share the link here.

Soul Scrappers Sketch Challenge #4

This was a very simple sketch to follow for this challenge. But I find that sometimes the simple sketches are the harder ones to figure out what to do with them, especially those that have lots of journalling space. I tend to have a hard time trying to figure out what to say for my journalling. But once I found the photos that I wanted to use, it ended up not being so hard to come up with something after all.

I also don't use the alphabets that are in My Digital Studio very often either. But the title for the page was a great place to put them to use. I used the Just Perfect alphabet here. I like being able to make my lettering crooked when I do titles for my pages. Another thing I like about MDS is being able to type in lots of journalling into a much smaller space than I could hand-write it into. And it looks neater, too. 

I didn't want to use a patterned paper for the background because I figured that would make it too busy. But a plain color would make it too plain. So I used the Textured cardstock that is now available for download.

If you would like to see more samples of things I've done with MDS, check out my albums. There is one for scrapbook pages and one for cards. The links are in the left column. I hope they give you some ideas that you can use.

Thursday Color Challenge #2

Here's this week's Color Challenge to help get your MOJO working. This is Color Challenge #2.

Here's is what I did with these colors. I've decided to do a scrapbook page for my sample this time. As you can see, I used My Digital Studio to make my page. I really love the fact that you can resize the punches to whatever size you want.

Now let's see what you can make with these colors.  You are free to make a card, a scrapbook page or even a 3-D project. Just use these colors. You may also use neutral colors. After you make you item for the challenge, please post your link here so everyone can see what you've made.

 

Sudsol's Chat & Challenge 238

I don't get to join the Chat & Challenge on Sudsol very often, but when I do it's a lot of fun. I was able to join it the other day and this is the card that I made.

As you can see, I did some experimenting in My Digital Studio. I used the 5-Petal Flower Punch to make the flowers, but then I added some lines to give them a little more detail so they wouldn't look so plain. To add the lines, I added an Oval Punch, gave it the color I wanted and then shrunk it down so that it was very, very thin and quite a bit shorter. Once I got one the way I wanted, then I placed it where I wanted it. I then copied, pasted and rotated it to get it ready for the next petal. The DSP, the flower center and the leaves are all from My Sweet Pea Designer Kit.

Thursday Color Challenge - NEW!

I've decided to start doing a weekly Color Challenge for you to help get your MOJO working. So to start out Color Challenge #1, here are the colors for you to use.

You can do a scrapbook page, a card or a 3-D project. We would love to see what you can create with these colors. You can use neutral colors also, such as white or vanilla. Here's what I created with these colors.

So get your creating hats on and lets see what you can do. We would love to see your creation. If you have a blog, post it to your blog and share the link here. If you don't have a blog, email me your creation and I will post it for you along with your name.

Theme Challenge 3

I've joined a site called Soul Scrappers and one of the challenges for this week was a theme challenge. We were to make a page where the theme was "All about ________." It could be about whatever we chose and we could use as many photos as we wanted and whatever layout we wanted.

Here are the pages that I did for the challenge. I haven't been doing very well at getting any scrapbooking done lately. So this was a perfect opportunity to get something done. It also gave me the chance to do some pages with the pictures of our pups that I've been meaning to get done for a while, too.

These pages were done in My Digital Studio. I love the fact that you can use any font installed on your computer for your text. The little dog stamps are from the stamp set Man's Best Friend and the background is from My Sweet Pea Designer Kit.

Sudsol Sketch Challenge #19

I really love the New Sweet Pea DSP and kit that are now available for My Digital Studio. The papers add such a variety to the possibilities for our projects. Even the felt embellishments add to the projects, too.

This sketch was another very simple sketch to work with. I had a lot of fun putting this card together. I just wish I had more opportunities to send out all of these different cards that I've been making, especially since I do love making them. Another thing I really love about My Digital Studio is that I don't have to worry about not having enough of a certain DSP or of running out of ribbons or brads, etc. And there's no waste of my materials, either. 

You should give My Digital Studio a try. You can purchase HERE. Just click on the Shop Now button to go to my online Stampin' Up! shopping site, where you can shop 24/7.
