Here are some fun Halloween decorations that come in the Spook Central MDS download. Above are cupcake toppers. Below is a template for coffin favor boxes (so creepy & cool).
This party banner below spells out "Spook Central". I simply altered the colors in these decorations to coordinate with my Halloween Party Invite, that I posted yesterday.

How cool is this Pool Party colored Halloween Party invitation?
I can't take full credit of the design, but I did customize the colors and added some extra details (for example, the spiderwebs between the branches.
Here is what the card template looks like prior to any changes. This card template, along with several other super cool, digital items come in the Spook Central Designer Ensemble. Item #127589, $12.95
Here is the inside of my card (the Pool Party spiderweb design will print on the inside - inner left). I found the fun verse online. I think it will set the mood right for a grown up Halloween get-together.

Front Cover (click to enlarge)
I discovered the option to create a journal through My Digital Studio. You design the front & back covers (even customize the spine) and Stampin' Up! does the rest when you upload your project through their printing services.
I thought it would be fun to title it "deep thoughts" - I have a very sarcastic sense of humor and it reminded me of the Jack Handey skits on Saturday Night Live. Time goes so fast, don't miss out on the little things. Keeping a journal of your daily memories (even if it's just a few words), will be something you & your family treasure for a lifetime.
Journals include 80 lined, double-sided pages. After you upload your journal, choose a Basic Black, Chocolate Chip, or Real Red end sheet. Size of journal, 6.25" x 8.25".
Cost of the printed, customized journal: $24.95

In our house, it's never too early to get ready for Halloween. Case in point - my 7 year old in his Halloween costume for this year (notice the date - August 2011). He just couldn't resist this costume at Cracker Barrel and I caved in super early this year. Now, let's see if he still wants to be an "army man" once October 31 rolls around.
I used the new Spook Central Designer Ensemble download (pictured below) to create this 12" x 12" page. You won't believe what else is included in this ensemble! Short on time? Add this kit to your digital collection and have everything you need for your Halloween party.

Two of my favorite people pictured beside me at my favorite place in Madison: Olbrich Botanical Gardens.
My son, Devlin & I spent many sunny days at Olbrich this summer - so many that we became members this year. The weekend before my husband set off to Europe, we went together, as a family. We don't get many opportunities to capture our family in photographs - I am happy to have this one to seal the memory of the day.
I used My Digital Studio to create this simple 12 x 12 page in a flash. I purchased the Beau Chateau designer series paper & the Beau Chateau Embellishments downloads to help complete the page.

One thing I really love about My Digital Studio is the ability to change things with a click of a button. At first, I had some Pretty in Pink Ribbon running along the bottom of the page - but that made my page "too girly". So, with a few clicks of the mouse, I was able to switch out the ribbon to Soft Suede. All without having to throw anything away! I love that!
I added a bit of whimsy by using one of the bumble bee embellishments for my "O" in the word Memories. Don't be afraid to personalize your pages - make them unique. I hope this page encourages you to try My Digital Studio.

Yes ... it's amazing ... I actually STAMPED!
I got this stamp set, called Best Friends Forever, at Convention. These pieces of paper & ribbon came in our make & take which I didn't complete in Utah. Yesterday, I had a few minutes to play so I decided to freestyle and came up with this card.
I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I haven't stamped in so long. I don't quite have the knack for stamping anymore - but it was still fun to play with ink & paper again. :)
