I don't know if it's cooler in your area but it sure is here.  Which reminds me that Fall is just around the corner and my favorite season.  Why?  I love the comfort food, knitted sweaters, the cooler breeze, apple picking with the girls and the change in the color of the Canadian Maple trees.  Today, I decided to change the Summer wreaths on my two front doors for my Fall wreaths.  The girls started school last Monday, I on the other hand have organized most of my Fall Classes.  You should check it out HERE and sign up before all the spots are filled up.  Plus, I added a kids/Tween class so pass the word around because my kids sure want a monthly kids class with new friends.  I have been creating in my studio a few Fall projects.  The kids and friends have been playing dress up which has inspired me to start creating for Halloween/Fall projects.  Here are a few pics.  Before you say anything, I had nothing to do with these costumes.  It was all them.  I just snap the shots and was laughing enough that my stomach was aching, aching in a good way! 

From left to right, here is Jeremy the Yo Man, Megan, Meg's Friend Madison an avatar and Lauren a mime

Jeremy, Megan and Madison.  So bizarre to have a little girl with black hair.

Here is Megan, she was my inspiration for this month's hostess gift.  I decided to go with a classic, simple yet elegant look = Black and White.  I have created a monogram hostess card box and it includes 4 cards with envelops. If you book a party with me in September, you get your personalized monogram box with 4 cards.  BOOK HERE!

I love the Lovely letters alphabet and the new vintage stamp set Established Elegance.  1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon in basic black is simply adorable, these ribbon are wonderful to use because they are wider than average ribbon and they coordinate with Stampin up! colors.  You can still sign up for my ribbon club HERE, check them out.  To get a few meters of all 11 colors.  This card is truly simple but what makes in stand out is the Elegant Lines textured embossing folder embossed with the big shot on the whisper white cardstock.  I truly love the products used and hope my September hostesses will love them two.

Established Elegance comes in 3 different ways:   #122530 (wood) #122532 (clear mount)  and if you love digital scrapbooking # 127424 for only 7.95.  which you can order in my store.  Can't book a party with me in September than look at the product list to order these supplies to make yours at home.  Happy Monday!

There is more to General Session, Brent Steele presented My Digital Studio.  He geared his conversation to the men in the theater.  Most demonstrators are women but the husbands accompanied them to general session and were there too! I was surprised of all the men who use My Digital Studio.  Brent had them raise their hands and hello!  there are many of you out there!

Brent went on stage with his baseball cap and Cheetos, red bull and made sure to express his "manly" habits to the men in the theater.

He presented two projects he had created for his son:  A frame and a 8×8 scrapbook album.  What is so awesome about My digital Studio is that he was able to do the same album twice. How? by changing the pictures only and keeping the digital layout he had created initially.  How smart is that?  So both of his sons have their own football album. You must have children in multiple sports!  My digital studio is a great way to create these albums in a flash and would also make a awesome gift for Father’s Day.

Brent used the latest digital downloads available. These files are not available with the initial digital program but are available for a small extra fee:
