Making Chore Charts with My Digital Studio Software

Published by under Miscellanous,My Digital Studio

Today's blog post is brought to you by Lindsey Hortin, from the Stampin’ Up! Communications Department.

 

My daughter recently asked me for a chore chart. I know, what child asks for a chore chart? It made me smile. I thought I better seize the moment before it is too late! For this project, I chose the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper because I love the color scheme. (Hopefully the bright colors will help motivate my kids.)

 

Then, I used the new Bunch of Backgrounds Stamp Brush Set. I love background stamps—the images are so versatile! I layered the Weathered image in Whisper White over the check boxes for some added texture. For the background, I used the Chicken Wire image in Whisper White on Jenna’s chart and the Flannel Plaid image in Lucky Limeade on Connor’s chart.

 

The next step is to frame the charts and use a dry-erase marker to check off items each day. (Fingers crossed that this will work!) Creating a chore chart is not a chore when you’re using My Digital Studio!

 

One great thing about My Digital Studio is that sometimes we get to bring back retired images! Bunch of Backgrounds features the following retired (or soon to-be-retired) background stamp images:

  • Chicken Wire
  • Ephemera
  • Flannel Plaid
  • French Flair
  • Pretty Pattern
  • Riot of Petals
  • Sanded
  • Weathered
  • Well Worn Words
  • Wonderfully Worn

 

And here’s a quick tip before I go. A handy tool for a project like this is “Align Objects”. Select the items you want to align by holding the shift key (or the Apple key on a Mac) and clicking on the objects. Then, go to the top menu and select, “Left, Center, or Right”. I also evenly spaced the “chores” vertically using the same drop down menu. So easy!

Today is the Last Day

Published by under Miscellanous

It is hard to believe that it is April 30, 2012 and it is the last day to order anything from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I haven't seen the new 2012-2013 catalog yet, so I don't know if anything from the Occasions Mini Catalog will be in it.  That is always the surprise with a new catalog.

The Gift of Time Fundraiser

Published by under Miscellanous

Yesterday was The Gift of Time Fundraiser at my church.  Thank you to everyone who came for the Stamp-a-Stack and for nine hours of crafting.  I had so much fun visiting with everyone throughout the day.  The next fundraiser will be after summer is over.  I will let you know when the date is selected.
