Two Templates = Two More Layouts Done!

I haven't had a lot of time lately to scrapbook- I use all the nap times and bedtimes to get my homework done- so I've been browsing my Stampin' Up! templates to see what I haven't used yet. I noticed these two templates- one came with the Sun Garden Designer Series Paper and one came with the Messenger II Embellishments. I found two photos in my collection that hadn't been scrapbooked yet so I used those, added some journaling, and called it done! This is what My Digital Studio is all about- the freedom to spend just as much or as little time on a project as you can. When creativity is lacking, these templates are also good for that. :)

This layout was an 8"x8" page, so I used this method to change it to a 12"x12". This photo was taken using Photobooth on my Mac one night when Esper was watching dogs jump in this video. She's pretty obsessed.

MDS Blog Hop: Baby

I love that the theme this week is baby. I have plenty of birth pictures I still need to scrapbook for Esper's book. I wanted to document the first time she met her brother and sister. It was a special moment and a crazy one. The L's ran around the hospital room with their shirts over their heads. They paused to kiss baby's forehead or to ask if her poop looked like theirs. I remember feeling stressed that there was a lot of craziness in that day. I remember wishing that I could let them spend more time with their sister. But in the weeks and months to come, I was continually impressed with how gentle and sweet Lake and Libby were with their new baby sister. They are two of her favorite people in the world, and I'm happy she has them.

MDS Blog Hop: One Big Sale-A-Bration CD

I decided to shake things up today and design a card instead of a scrapbook page. I used the Handpicked for Mom Designer Template as a jumping off point. I love not having to come up with my own designs, and this way I get extra mileage out of a card I normally would just use for Mother's Day.

Treats Featuring Sweetest Ever Valentine's Designer Template

I put together these little treats for Esper, her cousins, and her siblings. It was so simple to add the little owl tag- it was already designed for me (part of the Sweetest Ever Valentine's Designer Template) so all I did was resize the circle to about 2-1/2" and printed it on card stock. That way I could just use my 2-1/2" circle punch to punch them out. Happy Valentine's Day!
