HUGE NEWS and Studio 5 Segment!

So I have known for a few weeks, but until today I didn't know if I was going to accept the position. Studio 5 has offered me a position as a Main Contributor for their show! This means I am an official KSL contributor for the Holiday's and Celebrations segments and will be on the show a few times a month as well as some online content, etc.
SWEET HUH!

I have to say, I couldn't be more honored to be offered this position. The last year has been so amazing contributing to the show! I can't wait to be apart of the amazing team of producers. 

That being said, here is the segment from today's show! Hope you love it!

School Starts & GREAT GIVEAWAY!!

For everyone else, school probably started a few weeks ago ... 
but at our house, it actually just started yesterday. 
I can't believe how old my boys are getting. Next year is kindergarten for Bryson! I just can't believe it!

Last year, Bryson's teacher gave me a disk of pictures she had taken from throughout the year.
I couldn't think of a better way to use them than to make a little photobook for him. 
I am almost done, so I thought I would share some of the cute pages from it! 
COVER 
PAGES 1 - 2

PAGES 3-4

This cute template was created by Stampin' Up! with their Awesome Digital Scrapbooking software, My Digital Studio  (MDS)
Now many of you know that I am a graphic designer, it is either Adobe or nothing ... but I have swayed a little as I have used this program. It is AMAZING and they just came out with My Digital Studio 2! It is unreal. I went to the Stampin' Up Convention about a month ago and got to take a class to see how great the updates were to this program. You can even download a free trial here

So are you ready for the giveaway? The thing I like most about this software, is that you can use any of the digital products with any of your software (including photoshop!) I can also export any of the pages and either print them on my own home computer, or if I find a sale on photobook printing with another company, I can print it with them! SWEET HUH
(BTW, you can get 33% off right now using Stampin' Up!'s Photobook printer. Pretty good prices!)
So I am giving away 2 COPIES of this darling software
(AGAIN, YOU CAN USE IT WITH ANY DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING SOFTWARE INCLUDING ADOBE!)
Enter your name and email address in the comments below! I will pick 2 winners this weekend!
Good LUCK!!

OH & Catch me Friday on Studio 5 at 11:00 am (in Utah). I will be posting the segment later that afternoon!
