First Album

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Sunday !!!

Guess what I have been doing the whole morning ? I finally build up enough courage to work on my very first album using My Digital Studio. I know the layout looks lame but I want to keep it simple and concentrate on putting it all together. I worked on all 24 pages of this album and I was pretty happy that I did it. This was a trip that we took in Colorado last April. We enjoyed this trip so much-we just have to capture every detail in pictures.

Stampin' Up Friends Never Fade

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Monday !!!

I can't believe the weekend is over already. I guess time flies when you are having fun. I had the most fun yesterday with 18 people at my stamping class. It got crazy in the beginning but it finally settled down. Beth's house is just beautiful and very Vintage/Country looking. I had beginners that did awesome with their cards. I totally enjoyed that class.

Anyway, here is a card for our Simply Simple. I just stamped the image in Very Vanilla and framed my sentiment. This ribbon goes well with the Early espresso, so I used it for my accent.

Hope you like it.
