My Digital Studio

Good Morning!

I thought I would share a couple pages out of my album. I did these on My Digital Studio. The pages come out so nice when you have such a great subject to work with. These pages are sooooooooo……..easy! Just put in a few pictures, add some text or journaling and you are done.

I am working on some cards with My Digital Studio to use in a class coming up. One of the Christmas classes. All you will have to do with it is add some embellishments and it will be done. Easy Peasy!

I want you all to know I just started a Face Book Business page. I will have different postings on there. All you have to do is go to my Face Book page and down the left side it will lead you to it or just click here!  Stampin’ Up Independent Demonstrator Karen Bouchikas
Sorry for the short post I am going shopping with my daughter Catlyn today for a dress for her wedding.
Hope you get some time to stamp today

Christmas Card Class

Good morning! Last night was the first of 4 Christmas Card Classes. Everyone made 4 cards of 3 designs. We water colored, learned a tie die technique and did some punching. The next class is September 12th. Register now so you don’t miss it!

One of the cards may look familiar to you. It is the first one in the photo. It is on page 43 of the Ideal Book and Catalog. I changed it up a bit. Instead of stamping on the base card, we spritzed it with Silver Foil Smooch Spritz. It looks amazing! I didn’t think I would like it very much when I started but it turned out to be my favorites!

Friday night is the Big Shot Class. The cost is $15.00. I have a few spots left. Call today to reserve your spot. If you a curious about any of my classes please check my Stampin’ Up! website. It has all my up coming classes posted just look under the Events section. http://www.karenbouchikas.stampinup.net/    or you can always e-mail me at kabouchikas@msn.com
Thank you all for stopping by, I hope you find some time to stamp today.

It's Fixed!

I tell you all my husband is a wonderful man. He came home and fixed my computer! Darn! I wanted a new one:) Looks like I'll be using this old one for awhile now. That's ok, it still is a good one. I guess from what he said is one of the keys was bad. It was the number lock key. So he removed it! I can't use the numbers off to the side anymore but it works and that is all that matters.

I have a card for you today. I am LOVING the new In Colors! I can't even tell you which one is my favorite because I love them all!

This card uses the new stamp set we got at Convention! Raining Flowers. LOVE IT! The colors are Calypso Coral, Baja Breeze, and Daffodil Delight. What a great combination. I also used a new in color brad.

Well my Grandson will be here any minute so hope you all have a great day I know I will!

Hope you get some time to stamp today

Paper Flowers

Hi everyone,

While at Convention almost all of the displays had wonderful paper flowers! (remember the theme was grow.) So when I got home I decided to try and make my own. So this is what I came up with. They were so easy and fun to make! Stampin' Up! is coming out with a new tool that will help to make these easier! It will be revealed September 1st. So make sure you check back to see what it is. Also if you would like to be on my mailing list so I can send you a mini (which our Holiday mini will be out the end of August and it is FABULOUS!) e-mail me at kabouchikas@msn.com and I will make sure you get one. I made these flowers using the Just Add Cake DSP. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the paper!

Hope you get some time to stamp today.

Convention Swaps / and a Wedding

Hi everyone,

One of the best things we get to do at convention is swap cards with other demonstrators. I love this so we can have plenty of ideas with stamp sets we may not own. (which always make me want to buy more sets) This year I also did an organized swap. It was so much fun! Plus what is really neat is swapping with some of ladies whose blogs I follow!  The swaps I received were absolutely amazing! All you demos out there really out did yourself this year!  So as my daughter and I were going through them she fell in love with this card. This card was made by Pam McLean of Spruce Grove, AB. It truly is very elegant. So she decided to use this as her reception invite. Yes my youngest is getting married! But she wants a small family ceremony, so we won't be making wedding invitations.

So this is what she came up with for her card. She used Very Vanilla, Island Indigo, and More Mustard Card stock, The ink color is Cherry Cobbler and she used the Elegant Lines Embossing folder. Also as soon as it comes in we will be using the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding for the center ribbon, right now we have a piece of card stock there. This was just a proto-type so she could make sure it was what she wanted. I think it turned out really nice.

Well today I am off to shop. I don't have my grandson today so we have to get the shopping done because I will have him the rest of the week. He is truly a wonderful little boy. He is 5 months now and we have so much fun together! I am so blessed and honored that I get to babysit him.

Hope you all get some time to stamp
