MDS Blog Hop!!


Eeeeek!  I was so excited when I was asked to be a Guest Blogger on the MDS Blog Hop!  My first reaction was -- I'm not worthy!!  What am I going to create?!  But, then my love of MDS and these amazing women {whose blogs I frequently stalk} took over and all was well.  lol!

When I found out that today's MDS Blog Hop theme was Valentine's/Love, I searched and searched through my photos.  I realized that I don't take many pictures on Valentine's Day.  So, tomorrow, it's ON!  My poor guys aren't going to be able to escape the mamarazzi this Valentine's Day!  (hee hee)

Stampin' Up! has so many fun, lovey-dovey downloads!  I used a mix of several downloads to create my layout:


For this page, I scrapbooked a photo of my sweet hubby.  I'll never forget our first Valentine's Day together.  I was in college at the University of Georgia and we had only been dating for about a month.  He drove 1 1/2 hours so he could cook dinner for me.  I walked in the kitchen and saw him pull a piece of notebook paper out of his back pocket - where his mom had written down the directions for him!!  I just thought it was the cutest thing ever.  :)  Neither one of us are good cooks to this day -- thank goodness for moms!  lol!

Here is a complete list of the downloads used for this layout:  My Valentine Supply List

What I was really excited about was the "xoxoxo" outline for the heart.  I used the freeform and "text on a path" features in MDS to create this effect.  I love how it turned out!  The video below shows how to create the heart shaped text:



I can't wait to see what the other ladies created for the Blog Hop!!  Make sure and follow along to their fabulous blogs by clicking the sneak peeks below!




Thanks for visiting!!  Have a wonderfully creative day! :)

Valentine's Lollipop Treat

I love making cute little treats for friends!  My fellow DT member, SU demonstrator and friend Erica Cerwin, is a pro at coming up with super cute projects.   (I'll admit - I stalked her blog long before I had the pleasure of meeting her!)  When I saw Erica's latest tutorial, I had to have it!  I couldn't wait to make this cute little lollipop holder with my new envelope die and Oh Whale stamp set!


I hope you can see that it's a lollipop - I shoved it into this little pail so it would stand up for a photo!  lol.


I think the Oh, Whale stamp set and coordinating Happy Whale Clearits Die is the cutest thing ever!  I love the little sentiments that go with it!  I couldn't resist using it for this project!

Oh, Whale! Stamp Set

You can click the links above to purchase this stamp set in my online store.  

And don't forget the coordinating die:

Valentine's Decor for SCIC #63!

Wow, I cannot believe it's February already!!  Sometimes I wish we could slow down time as it goes by so quickly lately.  But, a new month means a new challenge over at Stampin' Celebration - so that's always fun!  Here is this month's inspiration photo:


These photos definitely made me think of Valentine's day!  Here is what I created:


It was kind of difficult to get a good photo of this without a glare, but hopefully you get the idea.  I wanted to make an insert for my seasonal shadow box that I like to put out.  And the colors and frame in the inspiration photos were perfect for this!



I even used some of our silver glimmer paper!  As you can see, I used tons of different products for this project!!  Too much to list - but let me know if you have any questions about anything!!

We hope you'll join us this month on the Stampin' Celebration Blog Hop!  The other Design Team members have some amazing projects to share so make sure and follow along!

Aren't these cute little Valentine treats?  I played with the stamp a little...  Here is what the stamp actually looks like:

Ink:  Marina Mist, Melon Mambo
Paper:  Marina Mist, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Other:  Big Shot, Petite Purse Die (I just cut off the flap), Happy Whale (heart), Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin' Write Markers, Sticky Strip, Dimensionals

Isn't that little ticket cute?  I love the new stamp set in the Spring Catalog - That's the Ticket.  It comes with 8 ticket stamps and our Ticket Duo Builder Punch coordinates! So fun!





That's the Ticket Stamp Set
Clear  - #128075
Wood - #128072
