My Digital Studio Project Share...

Here are a few wedding invite ideas that I made using the MY DIGITAL STUDIO program. A customer and friend of mine, Dawn Bush, and her daughter came over last Friday and asked if I could put together an invitation for Arianna's wedding. It was SO MUCH FUN creating and playing with MDS and coming up with ideas to share with them.

Card or Scrapbook Share...

A 12 x 12" Scrapbook Page to share with you today. I used the Pawsitively Paws Designer Series Paper & the Take A Spin set (Mini Catalog) to create this VERY quick page. We all have different sized scraps of designer paper...that would work perfectly for this page idea. Cut different size squares that will epresent your gifts and stack them for a cute page element!

Sorry the color is off in each picture. Cloud coverage will do that to you when your trying to take photos:(

Spotlight On....

Today's SPOTLIGHT focuses on the Technique I'm sharing with my Club members this month:

BLEACHING

This is a fun and effective way to soft and pretty card element. Just make sure to really clean your stamps well after using bleach. The bleach can dry out your stamps and create cracks in the rubber, if you do not clean them well.

HINT: After I use my stamps in bleach, I clean them with a baby wipe which conditions the stamp.
