Something Wicked this way comes...

As I have been decorating for Halloween, I found a frame I needed to fill with... something!  My Digital Studio to the rescue!  I saw something similar to this on Pinterest, so as I so often do, I tried to do my own version in My Digital Studio!  It's simple and spooky and just perfect in all my Halloween decorations!  Please feel free to download this and print it at home! (for personal use only)  Two more weeks until Halloween...Something Wicked this way comes!

Phewwwwww!!!!

Yesterday, Sunday, was a beautiful day!  It was the culmination of 10 months of practice and teaching for the young children from our church!  The children from 3-11 (called Primary) have been working the last few months to get ready for the Primary Presentation.  All year, our focus has been "Choose the Right".  Their presentation was given during our main worship meeting, or sacrament meeting.  They sang and spoke (all 48 of them!) for their families, friends, and neighbors!  It was delightful to watch each one of them walk up to the podium and say their part, many memorized!  Through their words and music, they testified of their Savior! Even the little 3/4 year olds or Sunbeams gave their part without showing any fear!  They sang their little hearts out and captured the congregation with their beautiful, sweet spirits!  I felt like a proud momma of all her little children!  And as the president of the Primary, I know I couldn't have done it without my wonderful counselors and secretary, not to mention the music leader and the teachers of these young children!  They have been so supportive and I am grateful for their willingness to serve!  Now that the "Primary Program" is done, we can relax a little bit and have some more fun!  Yay!  I know why the Savior commanded us to become like little children--they are just wonderful!  What an honor!

My Digital Studio 2 video--iphoto import

I know a few people have been wondering how to import your photos into My Digital Studio 2 from iphoto on a Mac, so I thought I'd do a quick video just to show how it's done.  It goes a bit fast, but I think you can see how to do it easily!  As always, if you have questions, please let me know, I will do my best to help!  Have a great weekend!

My Digital Studio 2 video--Freeform line dotted circle

It's been such a dark and cloudy day today, so I thought I should finish up a few videos that I had been working on!  In today's video I used the Freeform line feature to make a cute dotted circle for my scrapbook page.  Now, we do have a few dotted circle stamp brushes, but this feature gives you the option to make your "dots" any size or you could even use squares or hearts, whatever you happen to have in your font collection (can you see where I'm going with this?)  This is such a fun idea, I just had to share it with you! I apologize, I did skip through this pretty fast, so if you're a beginner, check out the designer series card video with a few basic steps.  If you have any other questions, please leave a comment and I will get back to you as quickly as I can.  Well, I see a break in the clouds, I better go get my mail before the next round of storms hit! (yay for the rain!!!) Enjoy the video!

Thankful Thursday!

Thunder, lightning, rain, rain, RAIN!  Today I am thankful for the rain!  It has been raining since yesterday and although the thunder and lightning seemed right on top of us throughout the night, the moisture is appreciated and long prayed for!

Halloween swap cards

Since I've been home from convention in July, I have been to a couple of demonstrator gatherings and when Stampin' Up! demonstrators get together, they SWAP!  Each demonstrator makes several of the same card and swaps them with other demonstrators for their cards!  When you get home, you have all different cards done by different people with different stamps and supplies--doesn't that sound great?  I am going to post a few of my favorites in the next few days, I want to give credit to the card maker, so if the info is on the back I will share it, if you recognize a card that doesn't have info, please leave me a comment and I will add it!

Toxic Treacherous Treats-artist unknown
