My birthday is this month. I couldn't wait to open up a card that I got from Stampin' Up! Here it is:
Did you know it was made with 118108 My Digital Studio software? Here is the inside.
Here is the fine print. I figured you'd want to know what it said.
I had a nice shopping spree today! Thank you Stampin' Up!

Big sigh of relief! I finally figured out the best way to label the spine of my completed scrapbook albums. Here's what didn't work. I originally used 104294 Sticky Strip to hold my labels. A few days later, I looked and ALL my labels fell off. That was so discouraging.
Here's how I made my labels and what worked to keep them on my linen albums. I printed the words for each book on 101650 Very Vanilla Cardstock and cut them out. I used the 122194 Big Shot Fabric Adhesive Roll (p. 196) to adhere the cardstock labels to the spine. Yes, you can use this to iron cardstock to fabric! What a lifesaver!!!
Here are the completed Cabin albums for the last six years. I started with 8 1/2 x 11 albums and realized that I needed to switch to the 104514 Linen 12 x 12 (3-ring) albums because Ms. Photography Nut (me) didn't want two albums for each year. That would take up too much space! Here are the seven completed Cabin albums and one empty album ready for pages.
And here is my other shelf of completed albums. The three grandgirls' albums, my life as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and our Panama Canal cruise.
For the grandgirls' albums, I used 118108 My Digital Studio to create their labels. I used the Broadsheet Alphabet download and sized the letters it to fit the spine. Then I printed them on Very Vanilla Cardstock and cut them into rectangles. I again used the Big Shot Fabric Adhesive.
For my Stampin' Up! memories, I again used My Digital Studio to create the labels.
I wasn't sure if this type of labeling would work on this 104518 Linen (post-bound) album. It did!!!!
Now that these albums are done and labeled, I can start working on the partially completed albums stashed in my closets. Oh, and then the bins of loose pictures that I rarely look at will be my next goal! Little by little I'll get our photographs organized!

Whew! I just finished this custom order for a realtor in my networking group. He saw some samples and decided he wanted to send handmade cards to his 30 clients. I hadn't even gotten my Christmas cards sent out, when I stopped everything to get this order done.
You may think I used the 123767 Christmas Lodge stamp set to make these cards. I regrettably don't own this stamp set. What I did is download the Christmas Lodge stamp set from My Digital Studio. I resized the image and words to fit inside punches (which saves time vs. cutting). I printed the images and words in Real Red ink to match the ribbon and cardstock. Since the realtor works for Keller Williams, I used the company colors for the cards. I used the 124096 Snow Burst Embossing Folder on Whisper White cardstock. The final touch was the 124117 Dazzling Details glitter glue on the snow-covered roof.
Now I can go back to sending out the rest of my Christmas cards!
