Gratitude Journal - SC91

Hi there!  It's time for another sketch challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!  I STILL don't have my craft room unpacked so I used MDS again - which you know I love!  I created a gratitude journal  (that I can't wait to get printed!!)  Here's the front cover:


 And this is the back cover:


I plan on getting this printed with the spiral binding.  I've done those in the past and I think they're easier to write in.  :)

The papers used in my journal are from the Wonderfall Kit.  It's one of the weekly deals on sale for only $4.77!!  Check it out HERE!

Wonderfall Kit #131218

We'd love for you to play along with Stampin' Celebration!  Here's the sketch to use as your inspiration:


You have two weeks to play along!  Link your project to the Stampin' Celebration Blog by 9 pm (EST) on Nov. 21st.  Make sure and check out the other Designers' creations as well!

MDS Decor

Happy Thursday!  For today's MDS Blog Hop, we're showcasing MDS projects used for Home Decor and/or Party Decor.  This was a bit of a struggle for me because we've recently moved and I've yet to unpack my craft room!  (gasp!)  While I don't have my project completely finished, I'll show you what I do have done so far.  This weekend I'm doing the Atlanta 2-day Walk for Breast Cancer.  We'll walk 20 miles to raise money for breast cancer patients and breast health.  I did the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk years ago and it's such an amazing experience.  I was ready to do another walk and found this one to do with a few friends!

On Saturday night, teams can decorate their tables for the dinner we all attend.  I wanted to make a couple of table decorations for ours. :)


I created this table centerpiece (there will actually be two) and a frameable with the help of MDS!  Our team has received donations along the way and we are walking in honor of and in memory of friends, family, acquaintances and loved ones.  The frameable was made listing all of these special people. :)


I've created lots of centerpieces similar to this before.  They are so easy!  The name of our team is the "Sole Sisters".  I printed out our team name in MDS - adding the cute Ribbon of Hope in place of the "l".  I cut it out using my Big Shot Labels Collection Framelits and layered it with Melon Mambo cardstock.  Both sides are the same and glued onto a dowel.  Once this is added to a cute little bucket (Target $1 spot years ago) with some fun shredded confetti, you have a cute centerpiece!


Although this isn't party/home decor, I want to show you the blog header I made for our team Facebook Page.  Pretty cute!


As you might have noticed, I used that at the top of our frameable. :)

I have plans to make confetti for the table using my Silhouette and the MDS Ribbon of Hope as well… but I haven't found unpacked my cutting pads yet…  Hoping to remedy that tomorrow!!  

Thanks for joining us on our MDS Blog Hop!  Next up is Beth Rush!  Click the button below to see what fun project she's created!!


Have a wonderfully, creative day!

Prayer Journal

Welcome to the MDS Blog Hop!  Today we wanted to showcase MDS Print Products.  I was excited to try the new spiral bound journals.  I recently did an online Bible Study and wanted a nice (and pretty) place to record my thoughts and prayers.  So, of course I used MDS to create the perfect prayer journal!  Here is a picture of the front cover:


I wanted to personalize it with my initial, use some of my favorite colors and add one of my favorite Bible verses. :)

Downloads Used:
Be Yourself, You're My Sunshine, Mis-Stiched, Basic Rhinestones, Essential Wooden Elements (Heart recolored), Lemonade Stand, Hello Fall (flag punch), Everybody's Business, Special Delivery Subtle, Fright Night Banner

I made the back cover pretty simple:


Downloads Used:
Crosses of Hope, Be Yourself (DSP)

And here is the finished product:



I love the spiral binding and the lined pages!


I'm so happy with how this turned out!  Wouldn't these make sweet gifts?  It would be so easy to change the monogram for a personalized gift! :)

I can't wait to see what print products the other designers have been playing with!  We'd love for you to follow us along on our Blog Hop.  Click the button below to visit Beth's Blog:


Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!

MDS Hop - Wedding Programs

Happy Thursday!  It's time for the MDS Hop where we show you what we've been working on!  My sister-in-law is getting married on Saturday and asked me if I could do her wedding programs.  She found some on line that she absolutely loved - but couldn't afford.  Well, guess what?  MDS to the rescue!!  :)


She is having an outdoor wedding so she wanted the programs made into little fans.  Aren't they cute?! The back has the wedding party with a pretty monogram initial for her "new" name faded behind the bride and groom's names.  But... I figured I shouldn't plaster everyone's names all over the internet so you'll have to envision the other side in your head. :)

These were fun to make in MDS!  As you can see, I used a bunch of different fonts, text on a path to create the curved words, a heart punch and champagne glasses from the Happy Hour download.  The colors are Melon Mambo and Basic Black.  We printed them, rounded the corners, and glued them onto wooden sticks!  (X 100!)  lol!

It really is amazing all that you can do with MDS! I love it!!

MDS Blog Hop - Middle School Survival

Ooooh, I have some exciting news!!  I was asked to be a "regular" on the MDS Blog Hop!  I am so excited to join this group of super-talented digi designers!  I'm looking forward to sharing my love of MDS through the MDS Blog Hops with these ladies!    (So thank you for inviting me to be a part of this!)  :)

Today's Hop is all about Back-to-School or using the new pocket cards that have become so popular!

Since I have two middle schoolers this year (eek.. how did THAT happen?!), I decided to make a "Middle School Survival Guide" for my boys.  This is really just a different name for "journal"... because I'm not so sure my boys would think having a journal was a cool thing?

This would be fun printed through MDS as an 8 1/2 x 11 softcover photobook... But, since I'm the master procrastinator, that wasn't an option.  I was able to print it at home and bind it myself.  I love how it turned out and can add pages later as needed.

I used several of the pocket card downloads as well so I kind of hit both parts of the this month's theme.  (Yay me!)

Here is a picture of the journal after I printed and assembled it:


I really wanted to "cute" it up... but, I have boys... and even the ribbon was a stretch.  ;) Here is a picture of the inside:


The inside has lots of different pages to use as a calendar, notes, to-do list, Bible devotions, etc.






The last page is the back cover.  This would really be cute printed as a journal through Stampin' Up! as well.... I might have to make some personalized journals for their devotions.... hmmmmm.....

Lots of downloads used for this project.  If you like the pocket style look, I recommend: Happy Things Pocket Cards, This Makes Me Happy and Be Brave.
I also used:  Thoughtful Overlays
Back to School (one of my faves)
Fantabulous You
Notes & Details
Crosses of Hope
Be Awesome Today (another fave)

So.... I gave Evan his journal last night and he thought it was "awesome!"  He said it was kind of like a journal but cool and he couldn't wait to use it.  He also asked how long it took me and said I could sell them --that he would buy it. ;)  (Sweet boy!)

I thought I'd also show this super quick layout I made over the weekend while I was on a girls' scrapbook weekend.  I started with a template from the Family Fun Photobook Template.  I just changed the colors and added my photos - so quick and easy.  And, since it's my boys' first day of school photos, I thought I'd share! :)


I replaced the DSP in the circle punches with some from the Sycamore Street Download that was available during Sale-a-Bration.  Love that download!!


Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to hop on over to the other designer's blogs! Simply click the thumbnails below.  And a big congrats to Julie Davidse who is also a new "regular" on the MDS Blog Hop!  I just love everything she creates!  :)
