Book Worm

Before I ever had kids I knew I wanted to pass along my love of reading to them. I worked at a bookstore in college and used my discount to stock up on children's books! 

My boys and I go to the library often and I was pretty excited when they asked to have their own library cards. Simon didn't want his picture taken, but Andrew was a good sport. Right now he's reading every Calvin and Hobbs book he can get his hands on. It's hilarious to see him crack up at the jokes. 

To create my background for this page I just added an overlay from the Kaleidoscope kit over my patterned paper and changed the opacity of both until I was happy with the results.

Stampin' Up's home page?!

I wandered over to Stampin' Up's home page today and saw something amazing - a page layout that I created is featured there!  I knew it was going to be on the My Digital Studio blog - which is pretty amazing already- but I didn't expect to see it on SU's home page.  I'm not sure why that seems like such a big deal to me.  Both sites are run by SU, right?  Oh well, who knows how my thought process works - I've given up trying to make sense of it!  What I do know is that being a part of this design team is pretty awesome and I'm still pinching myself.  It's really pushed me to do my absolute best work because I don't want to let anyone down!

I hope you're inspired by all the members of the MDS Design Team.  I'm so excited to check the blog every morning and see what they have in store for me.  I learn something new every day!

Announcing the My Digital Studio Design Team!!

I have some super exciting news to share with everyone!  I've been asked by Stampin' Up! to be a part of their brand new My Digital Studio Design Team!  Can you believe it?  I'm still pinching myself : )

There are nine of us on the team and we'll be working for the next six months to create some amazing samples to inspire you!  We'll be posting on the My Digital Studio blog as well as our own blogs and Facebook pages.  I have a Facebook page just for my stamping projects - you can find me listed under Stampin' Crazed if you'd like to follow.

Holly Van Dyne (whom you probably know from the MDS Blog Hop) and I were introduced on Monday on the MDS blog.  Click here to see some fun facts about us and to see our latest projects.

Today two more team members will be announced  - keep watching the blog to see who they are!
