My girls often get Fruit Snacks as gifts and I always find the boxes too cute to simply throw in the recycle bin.

Since the Scallop Square die for the Big Shot is clear, you can move the box around on the die and cut out exactly the part that you want.  I then mounted the scallop square onto a square card:

 
To cover the Assorted Fruit Flavored Snacks logo in the bottom corner, I simply added a greeting layered on a Scallop Circle.

I had a great time at Mary's workshop yesterday!  What I like most about workshops is that it brings people together.  Everyone knows the hostess, but not everyone knows each other.  Helping each other with the stamping projects gives people a chance to talk and get to know each other while they discover a new (or rediscover an old) love for stamping.

I enjoy getting to know each guest as well, and helping them choose their style of stamping and pick the products they want is so fun! 

I'm now booking workshops for April, May and June. Spring workshops are a lot of fun because it gives friends a chance to get together after a long, cold winter.

If you'd like to do a Spring workshop with me, please feel free to email me at jessica@inkitupwithjessica.com.

I attended a fabulous training on My Digital Studio, Stampin' Up!'s digital crafting program, on Saturday.  Thanks, Lyssa!  Here is one of the pages that I made during the training.

One of the things that I learned is that you are not just limited to Stampin' Up!'s colors of card stock!  You can match EXACTLY the color of something in your photo.

The background of this page is a custom color from the Color Picker.  From the Background Papers tab in the Design Center, select color. The box shown below will pop up, then click on the Picker tab.  Hover your mouse over the photo until the black plus sign is over the color you like.  Click okay and your background will turn into a color that coordinates perfectly with your photo.
