My project today is very simple. In fact it is so simple I am almost embarrassed. But there is a good reason! Actually several good reasons!
You may have heard that Stampin' Up is retiring all My Digital Studio products including software and all digital downloads. I am a HUGE MDS fan and I am so grateful for having been introduced to digital scrapbooking via My Digital Studio. I use it for many things the most important of which is our family scrapbooks. Each year I design one all-encompassing book of our family's activities and then print four copies. One for my husband and I and one for each of our three children.
To me these scrapbooks are the crown jewels of my personal crafting. I love reliving each memory as I work on these and delight in creating a lasting treasure for my children.
Now for the reason for my SIMPLE project! My life was very hectic to say the least last year and I got very behind. I am racing to complete our 2014 scrapbook. Through the end of May all printing is 30% off and I am on a mission to finish this book!
The second reason is I wanted a simple layout so the pictures would be the main focus. Butterfly Basics to the rescue! These stamps added just the right touch of femininity yet look trendy in black and white.

This is striking, Betty. I love the white on the dark CS and it's just the right amount of stamping…it's all about the photos! Good luck getting 2014 completed, Betty!

ReplyDeleteAwesome layout Betty! Love the white on the black. Looks very striking! Love the that the Butterfly Basics images don't detract from the photos yet still give the layout that trendy/girly feel.
