MDS Blog Hop- Forever & More
This girl cracks me UP! Her crazy faces make me smile BIG time.
Tonight I wanted a picture with her and this is what she gave me-
It's time for another Blog Hop! Our theme this week is what are you working on. This makes me giggle a little. It's more like what am I NOT working on.
Do you do this? Do you get crazy and have TONS of different projects going on at once? If you could see my desk right now it's a disaster. I have stamps, ink, and paper EVERYWHERE! One of the many reasons I love My Digital Studio and creating digitally is NO MESS! Easy cleanup ALL the time.
Ya know, I've been asked SEVERAL times why I became SO involved in My Digital Studio. I've always been 100% a paper crafter/scrapbooker. When My Digital Studio came out I can remember being SO overwhelmed. Honestly, afraid of it. I thought it was just another electronic piece that I could potentially break.
I decided to take the plunge with My Digital Studio when my kids turned me into a Taxi service. Can anyone relate? I found myself sitting at a gym for 2 hours twiddling my thumbs.
I started watching Stampin' Up!'s videos and playing around with all the elements in the software and then needed a little inspiration to get started. I hoped onto Pinterest and found tons of Digital pages that I loved and started creating away.
My Digital Studio became my 2 hour escape three days a week.
Crazy as this sounds… I started wanting more time with it. It became fun, exciting and I wanted to create more.
Yes, there are SO many things you can do with My Digital Studio. The sky is the limit with this program. I love to look back at all the great memories we've created over the years. I'm telling my story… are YOU?
Here are a few things you should know…
1. It does NOT have to be perfect!
2. You WILL make mistakes!
3. If not now, WHEN? When will you start writing your story?

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.

MDS Challenge Monday-Coloring Stamps
It's been a very busy two weeks for me. Such a GREAT two weeks. Today my parents head back to Florida. While it's always extremely sad for me to say goodbye to them it won't be long until I see them again. I'll explain that piece in more detail in another post soon. Good things are coming for my little family.
Today I'm back in the office. After being out of my office for two weeks I have my work cut out for me now as I get my office back in order and get re-organized. Oh boy… what a mess.
Bare with me as I play catch up. From the looks of my desk it could take two weeks to get there. I'm a little overwhelmed as to where to begin. Have you ever felt this way?
Today I have a fun layout to share using My Digital Studio and stamp brushes for our MDS Challenge week. While this is a basic skill it's good to refresh our memories of these skills so that they stay fresh in our brains.
Watch the video below to see how I cropped the stamp brush sentiment and then colored them using the stamp brush coloring tool. I love how we have this option in the MDS software.
I used my iPhone to take these fun pictures of my mom yesterday. I also did all the photo editing on my phone first then dropped and dragged the photos into MDS.
I love doing this because my photo editing is FAST and the apps are super easy to use. A few of my favorites that I used for these photos was bubbleframe, PicFx, and Phonto.
You can see all the supplies I used for this layout HERE.
Make sure to check out Heather's Summer's layout HERE. She's always an inspiration to MDS users. I like to call her the Queen of MDS. Seriously, she is one of my favorite people and seriously talented.

MDS Blog Hop- Summer Fun?
Download the Supply List HERE!
Crazy to think we were actually in Fiji just a few days ago! The only thing I'm feeling right now is JET LAG! I'm moving in VERY slow motion. The good news… bags are unpacked, laundry is going and I'm starting to feel normal again. As normal as I can be. Bwhahahaha!
Our blog hop focus this week is Summer Fun or End of School. I'm glad I was able to enjoy Summer weather for a week. Here in Virginia it's been rainy and chilly and Summer seems very far away.
The weather in Fiji was gorgeous. Just perfect in the day and cool in the evenings. It was the end of Summer in Fiji. So crazy to think about our seasons being so different. Of course I'd take their Fall day ANYTIME.
One of my favorites about the resort was going to the beach and swinging on the hammocks. Honestly, they are not that comfortable but they sure are fun to just sit, swing and enjoy the sounds of the crashing waves. We loved watching the jet ski's, paddle boarding and parasailing that was going on in the water.
Paddle boarding was the funniest. Watching them try to balance on that board made me laugh. This is exactly why no one saw me doing this. It would have been entertainment for sure.
Time to enjoy the other digital designers. Let's see what great things they have come up with.

My Digital Studio Challenge- Photo Shapes
Happy Monday! It's another great week to get excited about My Digital Studio! This week's challenge is a PHOTO challenge. We're working with Photo Shapes. If you've followed my Digital journey you know how "Square" I really am!
It's RARE that I ever put a photo into any other shape other than a rectangle or square. This is EXACTLY why I love these challenges every week. We are always challenging ourselves. This was really outside my comfort zone but I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
With geometrical shapes being so fun and trendy I thought I would use a traingle a for my photo. I headed to my punches and chose a triangle punch. Right there in my resoure palatte it says, "Fill with Photo!" SO simple.
From there it was just adding my layers and embellishments. A simple layout but it showcases Mr. Squirrel pretty darn good!
Now it's your turn. Find a shape that you want and fill it with you favorite photo.
Check out Heathers Blog to see what she did with her photo shapes. She always knocks my socks off!
