It's Epic!

Oh my goodness... why, oh why, have I waited so long to play with the Epic Overlays download?  It is soooo much fun!!  I just created this layout this morning and I couldn't wait to share it with you!!


Products Used:
Software:  My Digital Studio (of course!)
Downloads:  Epic Overlays, Vintage Overlays
Other Elements:  Sunny Day DSP, Staples & Stitching (both included with My Digital Studio)

This was a big moment for my son and I love being able to document it for him.  The clouds, the big font, the arrow, and the "splatters" are all part of the Epic Overlays Stamp Set.  There are just soooo many cool stamps in that download.  You must get it! And, if you haven't tried My Digital Studio (MDS) yet.... what are you waiting for?!  You can get a FREE 30-day trial HERE!!  Once the boys go back to school, I'll have another free MDS class to get you started. It's lots of fun!

The above layout was inspired by this month's challenge over at Stampin' Celebration.  I love the fun, summer colors and wanted to find some beach/pool pictures to scrap! Here is this month's inspiration photo:

Teacher Appreciation Gift

Oh my goodness - we are halfway through May already?!  How is that possible?!  I have been running around like crazy with all of the end of the school year festivities - we are counting down until Summer break over here.  How about you?!

I wanted to show you another project I made which was inspired by this month's Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge.  I used the fun, bright colors to make a teacher appreciation gift for one of my boy's teachers.  Here it is:


I used My Digital Studio to make a framable print that is so popular right now.  I thought it would be cute for Carter's Venture teacher to display in her classroom.  I hope she likes it!  :)

I hope you can join us this month at Stampin' Celebration.  Simply upload your photo to the Stampin' Celebration Blog by the 25th of this month for you chance to be chosen as the Pick of the Party!  Here's another peek at the Inspiration Challenge photo:
