It’s a Good Life

Time for an MDS layout.  I started this layout by creating photo boxes and Square punches. Then I wanted to fill in the area with DSP and go from there. I ended up changing the way the square punches were laying about 10x.  That's the good thing about digital.  YOU can do this. 

Below you will find a list of downloads I used.

Downloads Used:

Designer Kits Grad Party
Flag Punch
Wild About You Stamp Brush-Frame

Epic Overlays
Designer Kits-Tickets & Tokens

Have a fantastic DAY!!

She’ll Do Anything!

I loved making this layout because I laughed every time I looked at the pictures. Knowing that my Mother would go down this huge slide and I wouldn't makes me think that she really will do ANYTHING.  Years ago I even roped her into getting on Space Mountain at Disney.  She screamed the entire ride. LOUD.  She was not a happy camper when we got off that ride and we will NEVER forget it either. 

I've been pulling pics off my computer from our vacation in Florida last year and it's been great remembering what a great time we had during a time that was not so great with Russ away. 

Below you will see the downloads I used to create this layout and I'm excited because I've included the item numbers for you as well.

Just for You- Hybrid Project

Simple, Simple, Simple.  Do you love a simple project? Oh my word.  I love it when I can make a simple project and it's pretty.  My Stamps in the Mail participants are working with the Tea Shoppe stamp set.  This is one of their bonus projects I showed them how to make this month.  It's a simple tag made using My Digital Studio.  I used the Tea Time 2 DSP Digital download and cropped the paper inside my tag to show the areas that I wanted.  I used the Taffeta Trimmings Ripple ribbon on the bottom and added a little shadow so it looks 3 dimensional.  I love that shadow button in the MDS program.  The best part about this stamp set being digital is that you can make your tea cups ANY size you need.  They can be super tiny or really big unlike your actual stamp set. 

To make this little project, I simply filled the cello bag (this one is being discontinued BTW) with a goodie and cut my bag topper using the Label Framelit Die Cut.  I folded that over the cello bag and stapled my tag underneath.  I added a piece of the Satin ribbon around the topper to hide the staple.  Very Simple. I added a Pearl to the Tea Cup and my project was finished.  I was able to make 10 of these fast and easy yesterday and gave each of my stamp club members one of these as a Thank You for putting up with me.  <smile> 

Are you ready to jump out of your comfort zone and try My Digital Studio? You can always download the trial version and give it a whirl.  You can see if you like LOVE the program for 30 days FREE.  Check it out HERE. 

Have a GREAT day!!

Use Your Supplies!

Confession time! A month or so (could be longer..) I held a class called "Card Buffet."  It was a class where I had about 20 cards on display and my customers could make any 5 cards from the designs I had displayed.  I loved this class but at the end of it I noticed I had a few  LOT of kits left over.  The cardstock is already cut and ready to go, I just needed to get busy and stamp.  For the most part this is not an issue because I just make up the rest of the cards and it leaves me a ton of cards that I can send out myself (which by the way I am SOOOOO behind on!!!)  Anyways, one of the cards I had leftovers for was an Easter card.  Remember this one?

Since Easter has passed I didn't want to make more Easter cards so I took the pre-cut cardstock and challenged myself to come up with a different card.  Here is what I came up with. 

I chose the exact same design, just a different stamp set. I love the stamp set Send Me Soaring.  It's in the Occasions Mini Catalog and it's one of those stamps that you can color, paper piece, or just do solid stamping with. I love the sentiments too because it covers many things.  The clouds are cute as can be!!! I love the crisp lines that this set has. Check it out:

You can even get this set in Digital Form.  I REALLY love that. 

Overall, my point is this… Make the most of your supplies.  Do you have pre cut cardstock, DSP or pre cut ribbon laying around? Challenge yourself and make a card. For me the biggest challenge is putting a stamp on the envelope and SENDING the card.  Anyone up for the challenge? I would love to see your creations. I am going to challenge myself to send out 5 cards tomorrow. WOW!!

You can find all of these great supplies in my Online Store. Don't forget to check out the Retired Lists. Items are going FAST! If you love 12 x 12 Textured Cardstock, stock up.  If you love Craft ink (LOVE, LOVE it!!) stock up. Craft ink is being discontinued expect for Black and White.

Have a GREAT FRIDAY!

P.S. I have two kids that are OVER the TOP excited as we leave in a few days for Disney.  Alexis can barely contain herself.  Seriously she cannot focus on anything!  She is SO excited to see a friend that she has been pen paling with and just cannot believe she is going to Disney.  We are thankful for Stampin' Up!, my customers and downline who make things like this trip even possible.  I am looking forward to spending time with my family watching my kids relax and have fun.  They deserve it.

I will be posting while I am away.  In fact…. I've already posted ahead of schedule.  I know you just FAINTED!  I'm NEVER this organized.  I plan to share our trip with you if you don't mind.  You know it's always an adventure when I travel. 

Thank you for always supporting me, my business and my family.  Sending 1000 hugs and kisses to YOU my awesome readers!
