Hello My Crafty Friends,
Welcome to another challenge over at Decorate to Celebrate!! The challenge this week is to create Decorations for your Halloween Party!  

I know all of you are planning and have lots of great ideas for your decorations and I can't wait to see all your entries over at Decorate to Celebrate,  you can enter your projects HERE and also check out all the projects from our Design Team! 

Thank you my sweet friends for all the get well wishes! I'm feeling a lot better:)  I hope to catch up and comment on all your lovely blogs real soon!!!! THANK YOU for stopping by to check out my projects you guys are the BEST!

A chocolate cupcake topped with some crushed Ore Cookies to make it look like dirt with the finger sticking out! I used the Marshmallow Circus Peanuts and a black jelly bean for the finger.  You can check out Skip to My Lou's post HERE which is where I saw this awesome cupcake idea and had to give it a try!! 

These cupcakes are definitely what I'm taking to our annual Halloween Party!! 

I apologize for the dark photos on the pom pom's

I created this Pom Pom with some flying bats which was super easy to make and you of course can add ghosts, pumpkins or what you desire for your Halloween Party and hang through out your home!  You can watch this video HERE to see how to make this Pom Pom.

I created the dangling bats by using some Tombow to adhere the twine and each bat back to back and I then used a mini glue dot to adhere the twine to the Pom Pom.  You can certainly sew the bats together like in the video!

Lower Print Prices
We're happy to let you know that we've lowered all of our My Digital Studio print product prices-permanently! That's right. Now you can print your photobooks, cards, calendars, and other projects for less. You'll notice some have even been lowered up to 50 percent! The quality of our print products is top in the industry, and now our prices are competitive with the other big online printing companies too! See the new prices here.
We've also improved our shipping costs by simplifying them. We used to charge a small "split shipping fee" for orders that had both print products and traditional Stampin' Up! products, but we've done away with that. See the new My Digital Studio shipping prices on the second page of this PDF here.

New Design Features in MDS 2
Along with lowering print prices, we added four more of the MDS 2 design features:

• CROP PUNCHES: Show off part of the punch and hide the rest
• PAPER RIP OPTION: Create torn edges with Designer Series Paper, card stock, and photos
• IMPORT FROM OTHER PROJECT: Toggle between projects to import elements onto current project
• MULTIPLE PAGE VIEW OPTIONS: View your page with trimmed bleed areas (in addition to viewing in single pages and spreads)

See all 75+ new design features here, and see the latest fixes here.

Warmest Wishes

Hello My Crafty Friends,
I hope you all had a great weekend!! I managed to make a card on Friday.  Unfortunately on Saturday I started to get body aches and everything else that comes with the flu:(   This will be a quick post to share the card I made Friday and I hope to post during the week, depending how I feel.  Thank you for stopping by and have a fantastic day!!

I used the Designer Frames folders and punched

 the center with the XL Oval Punch to create the opening 

in the center.  I then added some dimensionals to add 

some dimension to the center. 

I also used the LOVELY In Color Dahlias and adhered 

them to the Little Leaves die cut and added the punched butterfly for some more dimension. 

The card measures: 

Base 3" x 6"

Soft Suede Layer: 2-7/8" x 5-7/8"

Very Vanilla Layer:2-5/8" x 5-5/8"
