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)

November's SCIC Blog Hop!

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 didn't get to play with my new Truly Grateful stamp set like I had hoped.  So.... MDS to the rescue!!


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

I was inspired by our Photo Inspiration Challenge at Stampin' Celebration:

MDS Blog Hop Layout


Happy Thursday!  It's MDS Blog Hop day and I'm so excited!  We've kind of restructured the way we do our hop so now I don't get to see the other designer's projects ahead of time...  I can't wait to see what everyone created!!  This week we're showing our readers what we've been working on.  I actually  scrapped some pretty recent photos for a change!  Here's my layout:


These are my crazy boys that I spend my days and nights with!  I love to surround myself with people who make me laugh... and these three always do!

Products Used:
Software:  My Digital Studio
Downloads: Happy Life, Downtown Grunge, Alphabet Soup, Natural Composition Overlays, Delightful Digital Tape, Staples and Stitching, Rhinestone Jewels
Font:  You All Everybody

I love using the Digital Tape as little journaling spots.  I used the white tape but recolored it to basic gray.  I also love alphabet punches - so fun to fill them with DSP!!

Don't forget to follow along with our MDS Blog Hop to see what the other designers are creating.  Next up is Beth and I'm sure she created something fabulous!  Simply click the button below to follow along with us!

Mid-Monthspiration at Stampin' Celebration

Happy Tuesday!!  It's a happy day in our house because after today the boys have a fall break from school.  This means... no alarm clocks for 6 days!!  Wahooo!!  I'm also excited to share a new SKETCH Challenge from Stampin' Celebration!  Here it is:


There are so many possibilities with this sketch!  My brainstorming went from birthday to Halloween to Thanksgiving and finally ended up on Christmas!  Here's the card I created:


The more I look at it, I feel like it needs a little extra something.....  Maybe a stamp on the white, or some solid paper for the ornament "tops".... but, it's cute and Christmas-y nonetheless.  :)

Products Used:
Stamps:  Teeny Tiny Wishes  (a must have)
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede
Paper:  Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack (#132181), Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Other:  Big Shot, Holiday Ornament Framelits Dies, Bitty Banners Framelits (#129267), Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder (#132174), Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Houndstooth Embossing Folder, Bakers Twine in Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso, Vanilla Shimmer Smooch

MDS Blog Hop - Meeting Pluto

Happy Thursday!!  It's the 4th Thursday of the month and that means it's time for the MDS Blog Hop!  I am still on Cloud 9 that I was asked to join this wonderful group of MDS-obsessed ladies!  I have been busy creating lately and wanted to show you what I've been working on - since that's always the theme for our second hop of the month!




Yes... these pictures are from 2003....  Eeeek!  I am such a procrastinator when it comes to vacations and sports seasons where I have hundreds and hundreds of photos to scrap!  But I am determined to get these adorable photos off of my computer and into my scrapbook album!!

I love how this double page layout turned out - but that's probably because these photos are so stinkin' cute!  Nothing real fancy about this layout as I really wanted the focal point to be the photos and the journaling.  I thought the bright colors from The Best Year download would be perfect for this moment!

MDS Downloads:  The Best Year Photobook Template,  Number One, Bloomin Marvelous, Summer Home, This Makes Me Happy, Happy Life, Wonderfall
Fonts:  Waltograph, Boring Showers

Here's a look at what the layout will look like side-by-side in my album:


Don't forget to follow our Blog Hop to see some awesome creations!


Next on the hop is #3 - the talented Julie Leblanc!  Click her thumbnail below to continue to hop along with us!  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

SCIC #64 Blog Hop

Yay!  It's time for a new Stampin' Celebration Challenge and Blog Hop!  Here's the inspiration photo we're using for SCIC #64:


These fun, bright colors make me think of Spring - which I am soooo ready for!!  Here's the card I created:


I'm not in love with this card... but I was determined to use those cute little houses for my inspiration.  But, I kind of think it ended up looking like something my kids could have made.  LOL!  I used the Heart Framelits to make the point on the roof and finally played with the super cute Cloud Embossing Folder.


Here's the inside of the card.  I love that little sentiment!  I made this card for my hubby. I've been really grumpy lately... too much stress, not feeling well, taking care of everyone but myself... you know how it is!  And he always supports and puts up with me -- with him is still my favorite place to be.  I thought maybe I should tell him.  :)
