My fish are thankful for MDS
My first creative project upon my return was to have a go with My Digital Studio (MDS) – see this post for more information.
I started by downloading this free card template called Fruit & Flowers. It’s so sweet I could have used it just as it is but I had a specific purpose in mind – and I couldn’t resist the idea of tinkering.
So with a few quick changes – that were so much easier than I’d been expecting – I turned it into this!
My mission was to make a card for my fish to give to the fish-sitters who kept them safe and happy while we were away. Reece is a big goldfish and Zebzee is his little mate. I loved how I could use the same digital stamp from the included Patterned Pets set to represent both fish. You simply drag to change their size and click to change their colour. I added a few water splashes and swapped out the greeting and I was done.
Then all l I needed to be ready to deliver it was print out the digital image and stick it down onto a More Mustard card base. How easy is that!
If you’d like to see what you can do with MDS, why not try out the 30-day free trial? What have you got to lose?
Cheers,

We’re back!
Wow, what a wonderful holiday we’ve had! I could do without getting sick within an hour of arriving home but I’m very grateful it had the decency to wait!
It was certainly a holiday to remember and we crafted some amazing memories I know will last a lifetime. I couldn’t have asked for more. We had soaring heatwaves on the beach, snow in the desert, volcanoes, canyons, and all manner of natural wonders as well as thrilling lights, sounds, sights and theme parks. I don’t think we could have squeezed another minute of fun in anywhere! We filled a 32GB card with photos and videos so you’ll have to bear with me while I share just a few with you here….
Chilling on a beach for a luau in Hawaii with my three favourite boys brought back lovely honeymoon memories.
We showed the boys the very spot on the edge of the Grand Canyon where Alex proposed at sunrise 13 years ago!
We have a self-portrait of us taken in the same spot hanging on the wall.
My little cowboys were beside themselves with excitement at visiting the real Tombstone! Their dad was just as bad.
We took a brief stroll into Mexico too. We were so close, how could we not!
I’m already missing the sight of cactus. They become familiar quickly when you see thousands every day!
Guess where we went!!!! Truly the happiest place on Earth!
And in case you think I forgot all about creative things while we were away, think again…
My character-filled boys in Hollywood!
My first attempt at cartooning with Goofy!
And how could I not purchase this ?
So that’s what I’ve been doing with my April, what about you? I’m looking forward to catching up with you all soon.
And I’ll be back shortly with a creative project to share.
Cheers,
Genna

Stampin’ Up! Colour Refresh
It’s time for some BIG NEWS….here’s the official word from Stampin’ Up!:
Announcing our Colour Refresh! Why now? In 2010 we did a big colour renovation and shared our plans for smaller colour refreshes every three to five years to keep our colours on trend. Well it has been three years and we are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalogue will include 10 new colours (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favourites, moving some colours around, and introducing three brand-new colours, so take a look!

I don’t know about you but I’m particularly sad to be saying goodbye to Baja Breeze and Bravo Burgundy but I’m thrilled to see that Wisteria Wonder and Blushing Bride will be staying!
All retiring/discontinued colour products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period.
