It's about time!

I have decided that today is the day that I will learn how to use PSE6.
My DH purchased this wonderful program for me a couple years ago and I have pretty much fumbled around on it with very little success and very much frustration ever since.
I have several different digital scrapbooking programs.
Most important of them is Stampin' Up's My Digital Studio since I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
As soon as it came out, I had to get it, so I had it. But, have I used it?
Not so much.
Well, today is the day that I am going to start getting a grasp on all of this digital stuff.
In the course that I am taking, my homework is to share my first page.
So, here is my homework.
All of the elements are from the course that I am taking.
As soon as I gain my confidence, I will make pages with SU's MDS and I will post them.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my homework.
XO, Mimi

I Scrapped!

Actually, I scrapped these pages last month at H2U but I never finished them until this week.

The first one is Maggie using the Cricut to make pictures.
She really is a little pro.
I have even taken her with me to help with demos at
Michaels so the women can see that even an 8 year old can do it.
She is so funny when she answers the questions that the customers ask.
You can tell they are so surprised at how well she knows the machine.

The next page is a funny one of Maggie making breakfast in her roller blades.
I just noticed, when doing the page, that she had pulled all of the charms,
from the Lucky Charms, out of the cereal and ate them separately. Too funny!

Have a great day! XO, Mimi

Scrapbook in a day!

I made this cute little scrapbook for my friend's daughter to show the photos that I took at her Sweet 16th party. Hope she likes it.
The album I picked up in the clearance bin at Michaels for $1.99 and the paper is BoBunny from Serendipity Kits. The ribbon is a little bit of everything but my favorite is the glitter! I love glitter!
Well, I have to do a demo on the Cricut and Your Story at work today so, see you soon. Have a great Sunday! XO, Mimi

Feeding the Fishies

Yes, I really did scrap another page.

These are more photos from our trip to The Keys.
This is at a place called Robbies where you get to feed the HUGE tarpon. They jump and swim on top of each other to get to the food. It is really fun to watch. The kids really loved it. I think everyone got in on the action but me. I was happy standing back snapping pictures. That is, until my batteries died. Argh!

Thanks for looking. Have a fabulous Friday! XO, Mimi

Playdate scrappy page

A couple weeks ago, Maggie had a playdate with a little girl that she has known since pre-school. They haven't seen each other since they started elementary school. When they were in pre-school, they were inseperable and so adoreable.

When Mags started summer camp, she came home one day and told me that Jenna was there and they are best bugs again.
I was so excited and just couldn't wait for them to get together and play.

I hope they are friends for a very long time.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great hump day! XO, Mimi

I actually scrapbooked!

I have not done a page in so long that I almost forgot how fun it is. The other day I got sometime and was in the right mood so I got these 2 pages done as well as a mini book for Maggie's 7th Birthday. Just in time for her 8th Birthday which is coming up soon. I will show that on another day since she has already taken it and I didn't get to photograph it yet.

The first page is the pictures from Father's Day dinner. I used some Making Memories paper and Thickers. Its a real simple design.

The second one is of pictures of a backyard fort that Maggie and her friend made. I used a plethora of different papers for the circles. The title is cut with the Cricut and the gems are Prima.

Well, gotta go get back in bed. I had a tooth pulled today and I am a little loopy. Thanks for stoppin' by. XO, Mimi
