Life with Boys...

Happy Monday!  I'm back with another MDS digi layout.  I finally downloaded the 1000 photos off of my phone.  No, I'm not exaggerating!!  lol.  It's amazing the fun photos you can find when you actually take the time to get them off of your phone!!  I found this photo (which my Facebook friends have already seen) and just had to scrapbook it.


I have to admit, this layout made me chuckle...  Journaling is such an important part of scrapbooking and I'm guilty of not always doing it as much as I should.  I hope my son appreciates this layout someday... or that it at least embarrasses him a little.  hee hee.

For a list of the supplies used in the above layout, click below:

Thanks for visiting!  Have a scraptacular week and get creative!

Don't forget about the Valentine's Promotions going on right now!

Pinterest-Inspired Photo Banner Frame

Today I want to share with you a project we did last month for our "Ladies Craft Night" and my neighborhood activities center.  My awesome downline Stacey, helped me come up with this project (she did most of it) and helped teach the class.  Actually, we had such a big turnout her daughter came and helped us as well!  :)  Here's what we made:

 

I just love this project!  You can just clip the photos on there so you can swap them out year after year.  The neutral colors really go with any decor and it uses so many fun Stampin' Up! products!

Everyone had a great time!  Here are some photos..... I hope this doesn't take forever to load on your computer!  (I always worry about that!)





 

Thanks to everyone that came and those that ordered kits 2 go!  This class was a lot of work but lots of fun!

This project used lots of Big Shot goodies.  If you don't have this incredible machine..... you can get it HERE.  Remember, if you spend $150 or more, you earn hostess benefits (at least $25 in free product)!

Don't forget about the Valentine's Promotions going on right now!

I chose mostly the colors to draw my inspiration from.  I also thought this fun DSP reminded me of the snowflakes in the photos.  What do you think?  The DSP is actually a sneak peek from the upcoming Spring Catalog that goes live in a few days - January 3rd!  I can't wait!  So many fabulous new products!!

I just LOVE the sentiment on this card.  It is from the Seasonal Sayings stamp set in the Holiday Mini.  This is such a great set to use all year long!  Hurry.... tomorrow is the very last day you can order this stamp set and then it's gone.  :(

Products Used:
Stamps:  Seasonal Sayings (#128009-clear; #128006-wood)
Ink:  Primrose Petals
Paper:  More Amore Specialty (sneak peek!), Primrose Petals, Very Vanilla, Pool Party
