Yesterday I shared a greeting card made with printed card stock that I made with My Digital Studio.  Today I’m sharing a My Digital Studio Scrapbook Page that is almost the same as the card.  This page was made with the same digital download as the card was made with.  

My Digital Studio Scrapbook Page

What do you think?  I really like the page!  I featured on the page a picture of my youngest daughter, who always showers me with love, and me.  Isn’t she beautiful!!  She has good genes that she got from her Mother (lol)!

I really like this My Digital Studio Valentine Scrapbook Page that I developed to share with you today.  Among other items, the page features a Valentine Card that I made in 2011.

My Digital Studio Valentine Scrapbook Page

 I have said it many times before, but I have to say it again, I LOVE My Digital Studio! There are so many benefits to having and using it, as you can see on this Scrapbook Page. Remember the Stampin’ Up! Love Impressions Designer Series Paper that was one of Stampin’ Up!’s releases in the January 4 – April 30 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog?  That paper is featured on this scrapbook page, but in a digital form.  Thus, because of having Stampin Up’s My Digital Studio, I still can use my favorite Valetine Designer Series Paper, the Love Impressions.

Actually, you can still purchase a digital download of the Love Impressions Designer Series Paper (121821).  Also, the Love Impressions Designer Series Paper (non-digital) is still available on Stampin’ Up!’s Clearance Rack, and it’s only $4.79.  The original price in 2011 was $11.95.

I also want to point out that My Digital Studio Valentine Scrapbook Page features a current digital DSP, which is a Hostess Gift.  That is the Stacks of Millions Digital Collection Disc (130675) that is on page 39 of the Spring Catalog.  This digital DSP includes designs for every season.  The gray diamond DSP  that shows on My Digital Studio Valentine Scrapbook Page is from this disc.

It is that time of the year when we need to get our Stampin Up Christmas Scrapbook pages ready to slip in our photos from our Christmas celebrations.  To help you with that task, I’ve created for you a page featuring the very cute Snow Festival Designer Series Paper (126908).  Using this DSP makes it so easy to make a scrapbook page as there are so many pictures on the paper that all one needs to do is cut out and glue the pictures to a page.

I hope this page will assist those who shared with me their struggles related to being new to scrapbooking and creating dimensions and layers to your pages.  If not, I would greatly appreciate your letting me know!  I an in the process of composing a related article, Scrapbooking 101.  You will be informed when published.

My Digital Studio Christmas Scrapbook Pages

I decided today to re-post two of my favorite My Digital Studio Christmas Scrapbook Pages that I previously created with the Stampin’ Up! My Digital Studio.  I had so much fun designing these 12″ x 12″ pages that I couldn’t stop adding elements to the pages, especially the Christmas tree on the first page.

My Digital Studio Christmas Scrapbook Pages
My Digital Studio Christmas Scrapbook Pages

Can you see all the punches, stamp sets, and embellishments that I added to the tree as well as to the second page? That’s what is so great about Stampin’ Up!’s My Digital Studio; you can use its contents for unintended purposes. Wow, does it ever make creating scrapbook pages faster!

The primary element for these pages is the background paper.  It is from the My Digital Studio’s digital download,  Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper, which is only $4.95!  You cannot beat that price for 12 different Designer Series Paper patterns!

Did you notice the black cat sitting under the Christmas Tree? The cat represents my daughter’s sweet black cat, Bottecelli. I love this cat! He is so lovely and wants to be held and loved on all the time. I’ve never seen a cat like him.

I hope you enjoy these pages as much as I enjoyed designing them.  And if you’ve not tried Stampin’ Up!’s My Digital Studio, you are missing out on a great trend of digital scrapbooking.

God’s Blessings!
