Woohoo! Digital Scrapbooking with MDS 2

My Digital Studio 2 page
Wow, it is shameful that I am just now using some of the first My Digital Studio downloads I purchased 2 years ago!  I really loved the Sweet Stitches products from Stampin'Up! and was sad when they didn't carry over to the annual catalog, but I was elated when I found out I could purchase them digitally and use them whenever I wanted to. 
So over Thanksgiving and Christmas I spend alot of time crafting, not with stamps, paper & ink, but with this delicious ruffle yarn that had become such a craze!  I have made, given, sold over 30 of these scarves and have a pretty large stash of yarn yet to use.  I finally realized after I didn't receive many Christmas cards... because I never sent mine out, that it was time to put down the crochet hook and yarn and get back to doing what I really love, stamping!  But, I do have a scarf to match everything in my closet!
So here's what I used to create this sweet scrapbooking page:
Sweet Stitches DSP download 122170
Creatively Yours stamp set download
Flag punch
Frame from Labels & Tags punch
Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch
 
I really hope you a great day and take the time to make something special.

Just Thinking Swap Card

Today I want to share with you a card that I made for a group swap I was in recently.  What I love about swapping cards with other people is getting their ideas in my hands where I can see what they have created in their own taste.

I used some great new products from the Stampin'Up! Spring Mini catalog for this project.


Here's what I did:
Crumb Cake cardstock card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored & folded at 4-1/4
Parker's Patterns Designer Series Paper cut at 2-3/4 x 5-1/2
Very Vanilla cardstock punched with Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punched & tucked under DSP
Cut Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies with Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and Parkers Patterns DSP (popped up with Dimensionals)
Just Thinking stamp with Cherry Cobbler ink on Very Vanilla cardstock, cut out circle
Designer Build a Brad with Cherry Cobbler cardstock punched with 1/2" Circle Punch & topped off with a Large Pearl Basic Jewel.
