Show & Tell Time

Time for a little Show & Tell.  How fun that this is the name of this stamp set.  SO cute and it's one of Stampin' Up!'s Photopolymer Clear stamp sets. 

This stamp set is SUPER trendy with amazing sayings, arrows and banners.  What I love the most is the crisp way these images stamp. 

Here is the Show & Tell 2 stamp set. I used the numbers from this set on my card.  

Again, you can see these great arrow images as well as fun Chevrons. *LOVE*

MDS Monday Challenge- Print Away!

Happy Monday! I had such an exciting weekend.  We were busy and productive.  Typcially those two words NEVER go together.  

It's another exciting Digital Monday.  This weeks challenge is more of an explanation of our Print Options inside MDS.  It's also a GREAT week to get caught up on previous challenges. <smile>  Any layout goes this week.  That's right.  PLAY, PLAY, PLAY!!  Get into the program and really enjoy it.  

Watch the video below to see how you can send your projects to the printer whether it's Stampin' Up! or your own personal printer.  

My layout this week was inspired from a layout I had seen on Pinterest and I'm sharing a BIG achievment for Brandon.  He is now a First Class Boy Scout.  This was a big goal of his and I'm so proud to see him achieve this. It's amazing what happens when we set goals and STICK to them. 

I always tell my kids to dream BIG and try HARD! It's even more rewarding watching them achieve their goals and see their big smiling faces.  They know they did something big and they are proud, just as they should be.  

Make sure to see what Heather has up her sleeve this week. Click HERE.  Anything goes this week so you know she will cook up something Ah-Mazing!

Ready to learn how to use My Digital Studio? Join our Simply My Digital Studio Facebook Group and see what all the excitement is all about.  This a free group for anyone to join. It's all about learning how to use MDS.

Bringing Color Back

My title sounds like a Justin Timberlake song, "Bringing Sexy Back" however I'm not talking sexy! I'm talking about bringing color back.  How about Color Challenges!  

Here is the thing, I love color & I love a good challenge.  So why did I let go of the challenges? I didn't think you liked them.  Truth! 

Then I started hearing from a few of you that YOU did like them.  Imagine my smile.  Pretty cheesy actually. 

So… I'm bringing the color challenge back.  It's going to be a bit different.  I love to find color inspiration all over the internet, magazines, and even while I'm out and about.  

Once I have the color inspiration I love the fun of going to my Stampin' Up! color palette and making it work the Stampin' Up! way.  

Are you in? I hope so. We can all be inspired by color. 

I found this beautiful color palette from The Ardent Sparrow.  

I think the Stampin' Up! colors would be: 

So Saffron

Crushed Curry

Calypso Coral

Melon Mambo

Strawberry Slush (not pictured yet)

You don't have to use all the colors.  Choose 3!

Leave a link to your project in my comments section.

 I can't wait to see what you do with these colors.  

I'll be posting a new Color Challenge on Fridays.  This gives us a weekend to play and enjoy.  

Time for a card share or TWO!

I'm using the Postage Collection stamp set again.  I love the tiny images and it works great with the Artisan Label punch. 

Check out this new DSP called Birthday Basics.  Do you love the bikes? I would like one of my own.  

Stamp set: Postage Collection (New Hostess Set) Cardstock: Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry,  Ink: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral

Accessories:  Brights Buttons, Artisan Label (130920), 3/4" Circle punch (119873), Natural Trim (129287), Linen Thread, Basic Rhinestones, Tea Doily (129399), Birthday Basics DSP (130145)

Time to share a little MORE! 

I'm excited to be a part of a fun Virtual Swap.  I have beautiful cards to share with you.  

I love how this demonstrator used the new Washi Tape on our Butterfly Die Cut.  Just place your Washi Tape over the die cut and trim.  

Our new Tag a Bag Gift Boxes are going to be a really big hit. They are simple and easy to decorate and will make your gift packaging simplistic.  What do you think? I love how this demonstrator used our new Gingham Garden DSP around the box. It's a happy gift.  

Tell me what YOU think of these amazing creative pieces?

That Balloon Get’s ME!

Darn. It's the silly little hot air balloon. It gets me EVERY time. Do you own a stamp set with ONE image that just takes YOU in?   If it has a hot air balloon, I have to have it.  I love them.  The more vintage it looks the more I swoon over it.  Truth!

This is a new Hostess stamp set in the NEW catalog called Postage Collection.  I love that Stampin' Up! gives us the option to purchase 2 of these during our pre-order season.  This is a fantastic collection of images in this set.  

In fact, there are bonus images.  Say what, Kimberly?? 

Do you see the itty bitty squares on the right of the card? These are the inside extra rubbah pieces from a stamp image in the set.  So you know how geometric shapes are a hot trend? DO NO THROW THESE AWAY.  

I see many more cool cards made with just the tiny squares.  *LOVE*

Check out the new vintagie buttons—> real name is Very Vintage Designer Buttons. <in love sigh>

If you look close enough you can see the new Smoky Slate color.  I already was in love with the color Gray so this just makes me do cartwheels that we have a new shade of gray.  

Stamp set: Postage Collection (New Hostess Set) Cardstock: Smoky Slate, Soft Sky, Crushed Curry Ink: Smoky Slate, VersaMark

Accessories:  Very Vintage Buttons (129327), Artisan Label (130920), 3/4" Circle punch (119873), Natural Trim (129287), Epic Day Washi Tape (131269), Soho Subway Designer Paper (130140), Basic Rhinestones, Tea Doily (129399), Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846)

Digital Lovers… this is a fun template that you can print, cut and play.  Download today HERE.  

Lastly, I have to share a proud Mama moment.  Hope you don't mind… 

Lil man is now a First Class Scout.  So proud as he worked hard towards this.  HUGE accomplishment.  He loves Scouts. 

Now to convince him the hair needs to be cut.  Something about this pre-teen thing where they do NOT like to shower or get a hair cut.  I may pencil this into his Scout Requirement book.  Jeesh!
