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!

SC90 - Bridal Shower

Happy Thursday!  It's been a long, long time since I've joined the fun over at Stampin' Celebration!  We moved last month but we are finally getting settled.  As a matter of fact, my hubby is installing the cabinets in my craft room as I type this!  Oh, how I've missed it!  It's been almost 10 weeks since it's been in boxes… so sad!  But, I was able to use the inspiration photos to create a layout in MDS!


Here is the inspiration piece from Stampin' Celebration:


I used the wood, the flowers and the colors as my inspiration. :)

Products Used:
MDS - Soft Blooms, Fancy Frames, Downtown Grunge, Be Yourself (background paper), Season Snapshot Project Life (woodgrain stamp)

Make sure and check out the other Design Team creations over on the Stampin' Celebration Blog!  We'd love for you to play along and use the linky tool to show us your projects!  You have until Friday, November 7th at 9 pm (EST) to join us!

Too Grown Up!

Eeek - I'm so behind on everything and my life is crazy!  I did this layout awhile ago using the great sketch that my friend Anita made over at Stampin' Celebration.  I finally did the layout but then didn't get it posted in time.  :/  We sold our house, are in the middle of packing, and don't know where we're going yet!  Of course once our house sells, the inventory where we want to move is slim pickins…  Totally stressful to say the least!!  But… a little creative therapy soothes the soul so here's my layout:


MDS Downloads:
Dropping You a Line, Downtown Grunge (background recolored, frame and stitching), Hello Fall (flag punch), Snowy Soiree (flag punch), Everybody's Business (gray DSP inside flag punch)


I enjoyed scrapping this photo of my oldest son.  He is 14 and growing up way too quickly.  This photo made me stop and think - oh, he's not a little boy anymore.  And gave my a glimpse of what he'll look like as a young man.  Makes me sad and proud all at the same time.  sigh.

A new challenge will be posted over at Stampin' Celebration on the 1st so stop by and check it out!

I hope everyone has a fun Labor Day weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

S'more Great Moments

Today we have another fun inspiration challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!


I was instantly drawn to the campfire and the s'mores!  (Yum).  When we were in Cooperstown last month, the lake house we rented had a great fire pit.  We couldn't wait to make s'mores - and of course I had a few photos to scrapbook from that night!


Downloads Used:
Happy Camper Memories, Downtown Grunge (frames), World Traveler, Be Yourself, Dropping You A Line, Extreme Elements (stars), Ink Splatters, Old School

I used the coloring tool on the campfire stamp and the title stamp.  I love these cute photos! :)

You have two weeks to link your projects.  And NEW this month, everyone can vote on the entries for our "Pick of the Party"!  So join the fun!  Don't forget to check out the Stampin' Celebration Blog to see what the other designers created!

Jamaica - No Problem

Hi there!

I created a layout weeks ago for the current challenge over at Stampin' Celebration. Then, the end-of-the-school-year craziness happened, we went out of town, and I never got my layout posted!  So, I'm adding it here even though it's late!  The fun inspiration challenge photos instantly made me think of our fun day in Jamaica!  I have lots of photos to scrap from that day so I will probably add a second page to go along with this one:


And here are the Stampin' Celebration inspiration photos:


When I saw the signs I wanted to create a project in MDS so I could use the cute sign stamp from the Boardwalk Stamp Brush Set.  :)

Products Used:
Boardwalk, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet, Small Polka Dot DSP

There will be a new sketch challenge posted on the 15th so make sure and check the Stampin' Celebration Blog!

Hi there!  It's time for a little mid-month inspiration over at Stampin' Celebration!  Today we have a fun sketch for you!


I really wanted to use my new stamps I got at the Catalog Premiere but…. I haven't had time to play with them yet!  Luckily, I was able to whip out a scrapbook layout in MDS while I was volunteering at the school desk the other day.  Here's my layout:


I flipped the sketch so I could take advantage of that open space for my journaling.  I just love this picture of my oldest son (from 2 years ago) and am thrilled to finally scrap it!  

MDS Downloads Used:
Old School, Downtown Grunge, Flag Punch

SCIC #73 Sketch Challenge

Happy Sunday!  There's a new sketch over at Stampin' Celebration today.  I haven't had a lot of time to stamp lately ('tis the season), but I can always count on My Digital Studio to help me create something cute quick!  Both of my boys have had another great semester at school.  They've both received all A's again and my 8th grader gets to exempt all 6 of his finals because of his grades.  :)  This makes a mama very proud.  I think I've come to expect it though, and don't always give them the recognition that they deserve.  :(  I wanted to create a card for them along with a little surprise and knew I could make something "cool" and boyish with MDS.  Here's what I came up with:


Here is the sketch from Stampin' Celebration that I used for my inspiration:


Products Used:
Software:  My Digital Studio
Downloads:  Old School, Naturals Designer Buttons, It's All me

One of my newer downloads that I used for this card is Old School.  OMGoodness (as my 12 yo says).  This is a really great kit!!  Lots of great paper, embellies and stamps. Check it out HERE!


Make sure and check out the Stampin' Celebration blog and see what the other Designers have created with this sketch.  We'd love for you to play along with us!!

Have you checked out my online store lately?  There are lots of NEW ARRIVALS that you won't want to miss!  New stamp sets, Valentine's Kits, Best of December, etc., etc.!!


Also, don't forget to check out all of the new items added to the Clearance Rack HERE in my online store!!  There are 10 pages of fun products at a huge discount!  Only available while supplies last!!
