My Digital Studio Catalog

Today I am sharing with you the link to the PDF catalog-  <<just click

They update it once a month and add in that months digital downloads to it at the end.  I have it printed and in a 3 ring binder and I have marked all the downloads I have purchased to prevent buying them more than once!

I hope you find this as helpful as I have!

Here is a recipe page from the 8x8 book of Mom's Favorites I have been working on for my kids for their Christmas gifts

this is the front cover of the book

here are a couple of the recipe pages

I am excited to add about 5 more pages to this book and get it sent off to the printer so that when we go to Boise for Jana's wedding in December I will have them to take and give to my kids early!

There will be about 30 pages when its finished. These are the recipes I made as they were growing up and have a lot of their favorite dishes/goodies on them!

have a great day!

Butterfly Book

I am working on a Butterfly Festival Book for Kayley and Maggie for Christmas and I am using My Digital Studio. The book will be a 5x5 or 8x8, I haven't quite decided. But here are a few pages from it- remember they are still in progress and I have about 27+ pages in the entire book so far-

 

This is the back cover of the book-  I still have a lot of journaling and color changes to make in the book but I think its pretty stinkin cute!

I am truly blessed to have a husband who creates with me and is creative in his own right! We love sharing in this business together and appreciate each of you. Have fun creating this great card!  I am going to be using his cutting and scoring plan for a few more cards of other themes so stay tuned!
