1st Ski Trip Scrapbook Layout & a Freebie!

Hi there!  Today I'm sharing a layout of the boys' first ski trip.  I've worked a little on the photos from this trip but I'm still not caught up!  When I saw the Daily December Memories Photobook Download, I knew the papers in this would look great for snowy photos!  :)


This is such a fun download!  It's designed as a photobook template so you can pop your photos in if you want to do the Daily December that Ali Edwards has made so popular.  I plan to try this idea next month, but for now I had fun creating the layout above! ;)


The Daily December Memories Photobook is on sale through November 30th!  Don't miss out on all of the deals during the MDS Seasonal Sale!!

Tuesdays are always exciting because the new MDS downloads are released!!

Here's a peek at my favorite download from today - the Christmas Tree December Kit.  You can check out all of today's downloads HERE.

Plus, Stampin' Up! released a free wallpaper download today:



Thanks for visiting!  I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Stampin' Celebration #72 Sketch Challenge

Happy Friday!!  It's time for a new Sketch Challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!



This sketch would work great for both cards and scrapbook layouts.  I chose to do a quick layout in My Digital Studio because I was short on time.  I've been under the weather all week (hubby too) so I haven't felt very creative.  I don't love my layout but am happy to get 4 more photos into our family albums! :)


Products Used:
My Digital Studio
Downloads:  Snowy Soiree Ensemble and Home for the Holidays Ensemble (hot cocoa embellishment) 

Both of the downloads are 30% off this month during the MDS Seasonal Sale!  Click the links above to get them at a great price!  You can see all of the downloads on sale here in my online store.  And don't forget that print products are 30% off as well through November 30th!

MDS Blog Hop Christmas



Welcome back to the MDS Blog Hop!  I always love seeing what these talented ladies create!  Our theme today is Christmas.  I knew I wanted to use one of my favorite Christmas downloads that happens to be on sale this month - the 12 Days of Christmas Swatchbook Template.


Products Used:
My Digital Studio
Downloads:  12 Days of Christmas, Downtown Grunge (frame), Bunch of Backgrounds (textured overlay), Family Fun Photobook (stitching)

This is usually when I'm scrambling to make sure I've scrapped all of my Christmas photos from last year....  lol!  Of course, I haven't.... and wanted to do a layout of us decorating the tree.  Well, I didn't have one from last year (gasp). So, I thought I'd be proactive (so unlike me) and create a layout before I actually have the photo!! 


I LOVE the 12 Days of Christmas Swatchbook Template.  The DSP and embellishments in this download are sooooo cute!  I wanted to create a layout to showcase all of the fun patterned paper.  Even if swatchbooks aren't your "thing", this download is a must have!  

Make sure and follow along with our MDS Blog Hop to see what the other designers have created!  Up next is Beth!  Click the button below to follow along!

Digital Scrapbooking Days continue with Stampin' Up!!  Have you been following along? So many daily deals, guest bloggers, amazing samples and challenges!!  Today's Daily Deal is the Nobody's Business Photobook Template.  At first glance, this download looked a little "bright" for my taste.  But, there are so many fun little elements inside that I love it!  Here is a layout I created using this download:


I had fun with this layout and was happy to finally scrap these cute photos.  I used the recoloring tool to change the color of the frames.  I added my journaling, a scallop border punch and some twine from the "Family Fun Photobook".  :)

This layout was inspired by the Monthly Scraplift Challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers.  I scraplifted this page from Lela and used the layout of it to create the one above.  Challenges are always a great way to get your creative juices flowing!!

So.... don't forget to check out the Nobody's Business Photobook Template.  It's available today only for 50% off!!

Hi there!  It's time for a new challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!!  I've had a crazy week because of this:


Ugh... not fun - especially when you're 11 yo is in the car with you!  Thank God we were ok.  My car... not so much!  I'm off to the Dr. to get checked out just to be safe as I'm still really, really sore....  Anyway...

I created a Thanksgiving card in MDS!  And, with the print sale going on, I can get several made!!  Yahoo!

Downloads Used:
Truly Grateful, Back to School (brown chevron), Burlap Ribbon, Antique Brad, First Edition DSP, World Traveler
