Today I was in my bank and I saw this question on their trivia board. The answer was so cute I decided to use it today. So here it is.
What is the new phrase that Sweet tart is using on their candy hearts this year?
"Tweet Me"

Happy Valentines Day Digital Style
Tomorrow is Danika's 2nd grade Valentines party. I thought it would be fun to make her valentines with My Digital Studio.
It turned out so cute. I used the stamp set Cheep Talk which comes with My Digital Studio. You could make this same card using a topnote, the 3 heart punch, and the stamp set cheep talk. For an extra valentine touch I put the hearts on the branch of cheep talk. Cute don't you think? I exported them to Adobe Photoshop and then uploaded them printed. Danika loved them. She had fun tonight taping suckers to the back for her friends.

My Digital Studio
The photo is of my two oldest kids. Yes there are moments they like each other! This was taken after one of their choir concerts at school. This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of them. They have gotten very close the last few years and it is fun to watch.
The photographer was my 7 year old daughter! She takes some of the best pictures. I think the reason is because she is a cute little girl who isn't concerned about perfection of a photo but capturing a memory of people she cares about. Her brother can be really hard to get a "real smile" out of but as you can see here she did it.
I created this page in "My Digital Studio" Using the kit Summer Home It is template pages where all I have to do is drag and drop my photo. I can have this printed as a 5x5 or 12x12 page. It is so easy to do!

I {heart} Hearts
Valentines is only a few days away. On Brad and my first valentines when we were dating (23 years ago!) Brad had a mug with a little bouquet of flowers delivered to my college dorm room. Over the years we have celebrated valentines many various ways. Brad has given me big gifts, little gifts, a special date night to our favorite fancy restaurant, and sometimes a steak dinner at home with the rest of the family. The last few years he has been on the road on Valentines day, but he calls me first thing in the morning with a Happy Valentines Day. How about you how do you spend valentines day?
On to our project. The other night I did a class at our local library. I wanted the card to be special not only for the ladies that would be there but also it would be the card I will be giving to Brad.
Don't you just love all the sparkle? I used the I {heart} hearts stamp set out of the Occasions Mini Catalog. All the sparkle is with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. To add a little pizazz to the pillow box I ran the card stock through the Big Shot with the Stampin' Up! embossing background templates. My daughter is dying to get her hands on it!

My Digital Studio Page
Have you ever tried Digital Scrapbooking. I had my first crack at it this winter. I still enjoy paper scrapbooking, but I'm kind of liking the digital as well. The program My Digital Studio is so easy to use that it didn't take me that long to figure out how to use it. Here is one page that I did for my youngest daughter. She loves her pets and spends hours with them. Pets pictured are Cinder the Dog, Katrina the Ferret, and Jersey the Cat. Not pictured are Gunner the dog (puppy) and Tucker the Ferret. Yes, you counted right 5 animals! This house is at Critter capacity!!! She lets the animals take turns in hanging out in her room with her. They get extra special attention, some yummy treats, and lots of TLC.
About the page. This is a template page from the kit Sunny Days. All I had to do was drag and drop my photos. I found the quote online. It fits the page perfectly! Thas page took me only a few minutes to do.

Love You Much Card
I have seen the color combination of Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, and Kraft and thought it was very pretty. I wanted to give it a try by making a "friend" Valentine card using the Love You Much stamp set. The 4x4 card is made from Kraft card stock. I swiped the edges with Whisper White Ink, I stamped the background with the 3 heart stamp and Versamark ink. So you see the sparkles on the heart? It is so easy to do. I stamped Whisper White card stock with Pretty in Pink ink and then embossed it with Iridescent embossing powder. Isn't it cute? I used Taffeta white ribbon to finish it off. The friend to friend is stamped in Whisper White.
