My Digital Studio Digital Scrapbook Back Cover - Cameron's Book

I also have the back cover of Cameron's First Year Book done ....

Isn't this the cutest picture????  It is amazing how I manage to get pictures of Cameron that are almost exactly the same as James' pictures 4.5 yrs ago!  HERE is the link to the back cover of James' book for you to compare.  I love the ease of using My Digital Studio to do scrapbook pages, but I also love the tactile feel of paper and ribbons and embellishments.  Not to mention to agonizing (lol) hours and hours it takes me to do a page.  Yup, it usually takes me 2 to 3 days to get it right.  I am sure the more pages I do the easier that will get.  On the other hand, maybe I should be getting more inspiration online somewhere, it would probably be less stressful for me.

Bye for now, have a great day .... 

My Digital Studio Digital Scrapbook Page 1 - Cameron's Book

This is the second digital scrapbook page I created for Cameron's First Year Book .....

This one is also based on a page from James' First Year Book.  HERE is the link to the original page.  Once again I obscured Cameron's face as I promised to my son and DIL.  but you still get the idea.  When I finished James' book, I got his Mommy's calendar she kept of all his firsts, and added them in the journalling areas of each page along with the number.  Of course this one does not have month number as it is just a collage of sorts of his cute little pieces.  I call it the "Piece Page".

I have one more page to share with you, it is the back cover. I am hoping to get some more done in a few days.  Stampin' Up! has a sale on right now for its Print Products from the My Digital Studio Program.  You get 25% off from now until June 15th.  Maybe that will give me time to get a page or two more done, then send them off to the printer and have them as samples for my workshops and classes.  HERE is a link to all that information.

Have a super day and Happy Stampin' ....    

My Digital Studio Digital Scrapbook Cover - Cameron's Book

Cameron Alexander Mollet first year scrapbook .....

When James our first grandson was born, I made a First Year scrapbook (he was almost 3 yrs old before I got it finished LOL).  Each month on his birth day Mom and Dad took pictures of him in the same spot with Cookie Monster for size relation and numbers that I made corresponding to how many months old he was.  They also did that for Cameron's first year. I am now attempting to create a digital scrapbook for Cameron based on the real life one I did for James.  HERE is the corresponding cover I made and blogged for James.  Then I am going to create a real life one for Cameron too.  I have the front cover, back cover and first page done and over the next 3 posts I will be sharing them with you.  I obscured the faces of our sweet boy because of a promise I made to our son and daughter-in-law not to publish their faces on my blog.
This page is made completely with the digital scrapbooking program by Stampin' Up! called My Digital Studio (MDS).  You can get a free 30 day trial of this program CLICK HERE to get your copy today.
Cameron was born on October 27th, and Halloween is our DIL's favourite time of the year.  Hense the cute little pumpkin outfit.  The cute multi coloured bird on the bottom right hand corner is a stamp.  With the new version of MDS you can multi colour a stamp, so that's what I did. I used Marina Mist for the body, did the wing in some designer series paper, and coloured the tail, legs and beek in Pumpkin Pie.
I did this page while I was at the retreat at Wyldflower B&B in Qualicum Beach, BC.  So nice not to have to pack huge amounts of stuff and unpack again when I got home.  Just my computer and I was ready to go.

Happy Stampin',  see you next time ....... 

My Digital Calendar

UPDATE: I have had many queries about the pictures in my calendar. All pictures, except one, were taken by myself, the other one was taken by my DH, on our adventures in 2009! I love taking pictures wherever we go, and my new camera is fabulous. Beach pictures are my fav. I have so many of sand that I think I need to make a calendar of sand sculptures.

I was so excited to get the new My Digital Studio program from Stampin' Up! I am doing the certification process and learning a lot about this awesome program. I whipped up a card the other day, but did not post it as it was just a trial one. I've also done a couple of scrap pages, but they are just following the webinars so they are not interesting at all.

BUT today I decided to create a 2010 Calendar that we could print out and give for Christmas gifts to those "hard to buy for" people in our lives. I would love to share this project with you. I will post the calendar cover, and the picture pages of each month. Also I will post one of the calendar pages, as I kept all of them the same, just changed the colours a bit. Each holiday / special day in each month has special items around the date, such as punches, stamps, or embellishments. I really had fun creating this project and it was so easy. I started about 2 pm and finished it around 8 pm, so not bad at all.

Here is the calendar cover - the theme of this calendar is pictures of our adventures of the past 12 months.

Here are the rest of the months:

And here are a couple of calendar pages:
