Digital District Scrapbook Page





I am back with a Digital Scrapbook page that I created last night while I was waiting for my boys during their scout meets. I have all three of my boys in Cub and Boy Scouts and twice a month they all three have meeting on Monday night. Well, last night I decided to take the laptop with me and work on some digital projects. I didn't get a ton of them done but I did get two or three and am happy to share one with you today. This page is pictures from the fall when the team my daughter runs with got 1st at our District Race. It was an amazing day and I love the picture of the girls acting all goofy and silly. That is the team. I used a photo template and made a few modifications so that I could get each of the girls in an individual picture then added the team picture. I have quite a few pictures so I will make another page and add some journaling about the day but for now this is a great start. What do you think? Are you ready to give My Digital Studio a try? You can for 30 days for free, just contact me to find out how. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day. Tonya

Fun new Digital Downloads

Hello and Good morning! It is going to be a beautiful windy day here in Missouri but I am excited to see signs of Spring and also excited to share the new Digital Downloads that are available starting today. The new #Hashthis Stamp Brush Set is so perfect for my daughter and her friends on twitter and the new Lucky Framable Designer Template will be the first one I buy this afternoon so I can make some easy framable art. I had just mentioned that I should try and make some subway art over the weekend and the new Template makes it as easy as downloading and printing. I will be sure and post a picture of my completed project. To see the full list of new downloads you can check them out here. Also why not try out the My Digital Studio Express free for the next 30 days and see how many possibilities are available to you. Thanks for stopping by and check back later when I have a digital project to share with you. Have a great day,Tonya

Everyday Birthday

Good evening, I am trying to get back into a more regular posting schedule so hopefully you will be seeing more projects from me. The card I have for you tonight is one that we did at a recent workshop I had. The base is Crumb Cake. We also used Soft Suede, Calypso Coral and Whisper White Card Stock. The designer series paper is from the Everyday Enchantment Sale-a-bration Pack. You can pick this as an option when placing an order over $50. We used the Apothecary Art Stamp Set and used both Soft Suede and Calypso Coral Classic Ink. To add just a bit more to the card butterflies were added that we made with the Big Shot and the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die and Chantilly Crochet Trim was added to both corners. If you are wondering what the Stamp image and the mat where made with they are the new Labels Collection Framelits that are so easy to use with the Big Shot. I would love to show you how they work. :) Thanks for stopping by! I am going to keep this short but I will be back tomorrow with a new project to share. Have a great evening, Tonya

Technique Swap- Wet Stampin'



Hello, I was going through some of my drafts that didn't get posted and a came across this card. I hope I haven't all ready shared it with you but if so maybe someone else hasn't had a chance to see it yet. This card is one I did for Convention swaps last July and uses a technique called Wet Stamping. It is really easy to do and really can change the way a stamp set looks. For this card I used Fifth Avenue Floral and Word Play. The colors are Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush, Regal Rose and Basic Gray Satin Ribbon. I also used Watercolor Paper which is an important part of the technique and the Scallop Trim Border Punch. If you would like more information about this technique please let me know and we can set up a private class for you and a few friends. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend, Tonya

Stylin' Stampin' Squad March Blog Hop




Hello and welcome to your March Blog Hop! Whether you are joining me from Rose's Blog or just started here be sure and work your way through all the wonderful blogs. There is a complete list at the end of this post and if you click on the Next Blog Button it will take you on your way. This month one of our themes is Spring and the card I am going to share with you just feels so Springy to me. The colors are just so light and fun and of course Spring is the start of all the wonderful flowers that start to emerge after a long winter. The supplies for this card are from the Occasions Mini and include: Twitterpated Designer Series Paper, Bordering on Romance Stamp Set, Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies and Textured Impressions Folders, Paper Doily Large Sizzlits Die, Sincere Saluations Stamp Set, Baja Breeze Card Stock and Classic Ink Pad, Blushing Bride Card Stock and Classic Ink Pad, Island Indigo Classic Ink Pad, Riding Hood Red Classic Ink Pad, Basic Gray Classic Ink Pad, Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink Pad and 5/8" Whisper White Ribbon.




My second project is a fabric project and what girl doesn't want a new bag for their new Spring or Easter outfit? The ruffled bags have been showing up all over the place in catalogs and on pinterest and I decided to try and make one myself. I read through a few tutorials but in the end I just sort of winged it and while I love how it turned out I did find a few things that I would change for the next time. Like finishing my edges differently. The best part about this bag is the fabric is free this month with a $50 order. I used all of the pink prints in the Flirtatious Designer Fabric and then with the third I made a head band which I will share with you another day. I also used1/2" Melon Mambo Scallop Dots Ribbon for the trim and for the straps (which are fed through button holes on the sides of the bag) to carry the bag which is a draw string back pack style. While making the bag I decided my next project is going to be an apron with more cute ruffles. I just have to decide which fabric to use next. I have really loved doing more sewing projects lately and have a major project to share with you in the next few weeks, but it isn't quite ready yet. :)








Thanks for stopping by today. I would love to hear from you as would the other ladies in the Blog Hop. Have a great day, Tonya

Birthday Window



Good morning! Hope you are having a great week. We are here and today everyone will be back in school so I have a lot to catch up on. :) Today's card is one that was made with a little bit of this cand that. The base is one that I used to show how easy the new Framelits are to use. I just randomly cut a window out of the Soft Suede Card Stock and set it aside. Then when I had a few moments to stamp I decided why not finish that card so I added another Framelit from the Label Collection behind the card front so that it showed through the window. The card is stamped with the Apothecary Art Set and colored with Lucky Limeade, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral. I used a Vintage Brad, Victoria Crochet Ribbon and Calypso Coral Ribbon to attach the sentiment to the front of the card. I also used the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder on the front of the card to add extra dimension. All the supplies are available to purchase through my Website just by contacting me.


I hope you enjoyed today's card, I hope to finish a couple more today that I will share with you tomorrow and Friday. Have a great day and as always thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Celebrate You!


Good morning! It is once again Monday and the new week has started. Today I thought I would share with you a card that we made at a recent workshop. It uses the new Send me Soaring Stamp Set that can be found on page 37 of the Occasions Mini. I altered the card that can be found on the same page just a bit and am happy with the result. The other supplies are Pool Party Card Stock and Classic Ink Pad, Lucky Limeade Card Stock and Classic Ink Pad, Wisteria Wonder Card Stock and Classic Ink Pad, Calypso Coral Classic Ink Pad, Basic Gray Stampin' Write Marker, Whisper White Card Stock, Small Oval Punch, Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon and the Striped Embossing Folder which you can get for free during Sale-a-bration. The kites are stamped on scrap paper and then cut out and added to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals but the card is pretty simple to make. I am working on a 3d project that I hope to have ready to share by the beginning of next month but I will have another card to share tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by and as always have a great day, Tonya
