Isn't it pretty! I am having so much fun with it It is on special right now!!! See my website for more details www.aprilroycroft.stampinup.net

January Scrapbook Layouts

WOW! I cannot believe it is already February! No one at our house was ready for the weekend to be over. It went way too fast. We had a great time celebrating Caleb & Gavin's 8th birthday on Saturday. We took 9 little boys to the movies. Fun times! If you want to see more check out my family blog.

Now for the stamping... Last month we did these 3 cute layouts in my scrapbook class. We used 3 brand new stamp sets from the new Occassions mini. I am so in love with all of these hearts! I had only planned on doing 1 heart or Valentine layout, but as you can see, I used another heart set on a birthday layout. My next scrapbook class is Friday, Feb. 19th. Don't forget to leave a comment if you stop by! I would love to know what you think!

Here is a fun little card I used as my swap at our Heartland Stampers Demonstrator Gathering. This Like-o-Meter stamp set is so much fun AND it is only $8.95. Love the new a la carte stamp sets Stampin Up is offering!

School Bus layout

This was a fun layout a couple of us made at my retreat back in November. This was the 2nd year we have done a retreat in November. It is sooooo much fun! I may have a couple of spaces open for next year if you would like to join us. Now, back to the layout. We were inspired by Heather Summers' school bus made out of punches. Someone made the bus and then I decided it needed a layout to go on. Someone else thought it needed clouds. Another thought of the sign, etc. It was a community effort in the wee hours :)

More scrapbook layouts

A couple more layouts from scrapbook class. My next class is February 19th at 6 PM at Heartland Ham Company. Cost is $20 or free with a $25 purchase. We make 3 new double layouts each month. Please email me at april@heartlandham.com if you would like to attend.

My Digital Studio Book

For Christmas my family made handmade gifts for each other. It was a little more difficult because we could not wait until the last minute, but it was also so much more meaningful. We all cried and had a great time opening up each gift.

For my dad I designed this 12x12 book using My Digital Studio. The inside is fairly simple with old photos of my dad, his brother and their parents. His family have all passed away and he is the only one left. I'm sure it is hard to be without them during the holidays and he did have trouble looking through it without getting teary eyed.

I love how this turned out. Stampin' Up uses the very best quality products to put this very professional book together. I am having a FREE My Digital class on Tuesday at 6 PM. I would love to have you come and check it out. For those of you who already own it, I'll be able to show you several tips to make it all super simple.

Garden from the Heart

Garden from the Heart (117004 wood or 118568 clear) is one of the fun sets we received at Founder's Circle. This is one of those sets that I would not have picked out on my own, but once I have seen things done with it, I love it! You know what I mean? There are so many sets I never notice until someone does something cute with it! I love these cards these 2 ladies made!

Messages for Mom

Another swap from Founder Circle friends... Messages for Mom (117016 wood or 118580 clear). This set has some beautiful sayings. I love the way Colleen Magness folded the card. So pretty!

My Matryoshka

My Matryoshka (115213 or 118583) is my FAVORITE stamp set in the new Occassions mini. I love it because Lyla's room is decorated in nesting dolls. Check out her room HERE on my family blog.

I made this layout with the set and plan to put pictures of Lyla on it. I did a swap with some Founder's Circle Achievers and used my layout as inspiration for the card I swapped. I love the lattice die and of course the big shot!

Christmas Layouts

These were 2 of my layouts for my monthly scrapbook class.

Have I ever told you how much I love the Circle Circus stamp set (115778)? I use this stamp set for EVERYTHING and doesn't it make a cute Christmas layout?



On this layout I used the Merry Moments DSP (115672). Cute & simple... my favorite!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Ok so I'm a little late. Almost 1 month since my last blog. Shame on me! :) I'm going to do better. My goal is to blog atleast twice a week, and I have lots to show you because of the month blog break of course.

First, I have to show you my Christmas card. I used My Digital Studio and I will definitely be using it from now on for my Christmas card. I did make some other cards too and had so much fun designing! Let me know what you think!

Lyla's 1st day home - May 30, 2009

I am just having so much fun with My Digital Studio! If you live around the Tyler area, I would love to show you how easy it is to create your own scrapbook layouts and cards! Email or call me and we will get together!

My Digital Studio - Looove it!

I made this quick 12x12 using My Digital Studio. It was so much fun! I have never done any digital scrapbooking until Stampin' Up! came out with My Digital Studio. It is so easy and really addictive! My baby girl is 5 months old tomorrow and I have still never printed one picture of her. Sad, I know, but look! Now I have scrapbooked a layout! Yea me :) If you will leave a comment telling me what you think of this layout, you will go into a drawing for a FREE My Digital Studio! Comments must be made before Oct. 30th.
