Col in London - World War Two.

Loving my new HP printer which prints A3 pages! The new printer and Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio are a powerful combination to make scrapbook pages quickly and easily.

No excuses now!!!

Here is another page for the album created about my late husband, Colin, and his experiences in World War Two. The photos, understandably, are somewhat frail and small, as were most everyday photos of that era...but I am so glad to have them, to add to the store of memories.

Colin looked really handsome in his Air Force uniform, and family members have told me he never lacked feminine company, whenever he came home on leave. I'm so glad I met him later in life, or he may never have looked in my direction!

Modern Medley DSP

There are a number of things I absolutely love about My Digital Studio, and one of them is the ability to print out your own Designer Series Paper!

My latest download for MDS has been the pretty, and very versatile Modern Medley Overlays Kit. These delightful overlays can be re-coloured in your favourite Stampin' Up! colours and then printed out.

This card shows the Music Notes overlay, one of the twelve which comes in the Modern Medley Overlays Kit. I have added a black border and then cut out the printed card front with a small white border before mounting on Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

The grey and white striped DSP was also a download in MDS, called Patterns DSP, and is exactly the same as our conventional Patterns Stack. The bonus is that for a $2.50 download, each of the four designs can be re-coloured and printed out.

Here it is coloured Basic Gray. The sentiment is from the retired set, Beautiful Birthday, however this is also available for download to MDS. I cut it out using a Labels framelit and added dimensionals. The ribbon is Raspberry Ripple Stitched Satin ribbon.

Ex Libris in MDS

Ex Libris is such a pretty and versatile background stamp, but I don't manage large stamps very well so it was wonderful to find the same stamp available as a download for MDS.

Here, it is re-coloured using Basic Gray, with the Thanks So Much greeting from the Oh, Hello stamp set, which is also available as a download for MDS. The greeting was coloured in Cherry Cobbler and the whole card front printed out on white cardstock. I like to cut the card front out leaving a narrow white border, before mounting onto the card base, which here is Basic Gray.

A Satin Stitched ribbon in Raspberry Ripple was attached before adhering the front onto the card base. Flowers, stamped in Cherry Cobbler and mounted with dimensionals, are from the Flower Shop stamp set.

Roll of Honour

My Digital Studio has made it easy for me to get back to scrapbooking...currently I am working on my late husband's album and especially his war record. 

One of my recent MDS downloads has been the Back To School Kit and it is really good value. The page below was created using some of the elements from Back to School and it is set to be one of my favourite 'go to' MDS kits.
