Another layout I did at a crop on Saturday using My Digital Studio!  TFL! 

Happy 8th Birthday, Micah Jo!!

Oh, my goodness!  Today I officially have an 8, 9, and 10 year old!  Sounds kind of cool, doesn't it?!

On her birthday wish list....a puppy, a netbook, and an American Girl doll.  Sure, no problem.  (whatever!) She's getting money from everyone.  That way she can decide what she wants to spend her money on.

She wanted to have her birthday party in Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Shane's garage with all of her cousins over to play and she wants a jell-o cake.  Done, done, and done!  She at least gets that part of her birthday wishes! 

So, in honor of the birthday girl, I'm sharing a digital layout I did at a crop with the My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up!  Enjoy! 

Photo Hunt Challenge progress!

I'm a little over halfway done with the Photo Hunt Challenge!  I was editing the photos I have so far and I'm so excited to show them off!!  I just hope i can get the rest of the photos done before the end of the month!

Going to take pics of some layouts and post tomorrow since I have a day off!  Check back!

Later!

Make-n-Take

Every month at the downline meeting at Tiffany's we all take turns doing different things....being swap hostess, bringing snacks, sharing, and doing a make-n-take.  This month is my turn for the make-n-take and this is what I came up with.  I LOVE that new DSP Presto Patterns!  It's a little intimidating due to the fact you need to do other techniques to make the pattern show up.  I decided to make a quick and easy little card showcasing that paper and using a brayer.  Here's what everyone will be making! 

I was a little nervous about the color combo.  I got it from the Color Coach, but it was making me nervous.  But, I love the end result!  That's why I love that Color Coach!  I would never have put these colors together, but they totally work!  I used the stamp set Butterfly Prints.  TFL!

My Swap card for Saturday!

Saturday is the downline meeting at Tiffany's!  Here's the card I made for the swap....criteria: "thank you" card with one In Color.  I was an overachiever with 3 In Colors! LOL!  Used one of my favorite sets from the new IB&C called Aviary.  Just a bunch of birds and different birdcages, but they are too flippin' cute! 

TFL!

Birthday Invitation!

I whipped up my darling little daughter's birthday invite using My Digital Studio (Stampin' Up!) and it was so stinkin' easy!!!  Take a look! 

Cute, huh?!  If you want to try MDS, give me a call and I'll get you all set up!  

MIA

Hey, all!  Sorry I've been MIA for awhile.  July was crazy busy around the Birrell household!  But, stay tuned, because I'll start posting some of my latest creations again starting this week!

Several of my friends have been participating in these Photo Hunt Challenges.  I've decided to throw my hat in and attempt it for the month of August!  Be sure to check out my photography blog on August 31 to see all of my 20 entries for the month!

Later, all!
