Special Memory Box
Over the weekend I posted on my Facebook page a few products that I had sitting on my desk. I've been wanting to make this project FOREVER! I'm excited to show it to you today!
I wanted to make my kids something special. A little trinket box with fun memories of Mom. I used a tin that I purchased from HERE years ago. It's perfect for this project. On the front I used one of our bottle caps (aka Soda Pop Tops #129388) and placed a photo inside. You will want to watch the video below because it's a fun technique using pattern paper along with your photo. If you look closely you can see the words "winner" coming through our faces. I love how this turned out.
On the inside of the tin I created these tiny little envelopes that fit a 2 x 3 piece of cardstock or in my case a small photo inside. These tiny envelopes are all made using our Scallop Envelope Die Cut. *OH MY WORD* They are the cutest things ever and worked PERFECT for this project. You can see how I made these on the video as well. *I will note on the video I tell you to cut the small scallop edge off. While it's not necessarily a MUST… if you cut the scallop like I show in the video you can reuse the scallop as I've done above on the first envelope. Again, watch the video and this will make more sense.
Here you can see the little photos I've tucked into the envelopes. Do you notice a little sneak peek of a product? Look closely! *wink*
For most of this project I used our amazing Sale-a-Bration products that are quickly coming to an end. You will see all the supplies listed below.

Digital designers, now is a great time to start working on a Christmas Daily digital book. You may be asking what in the world am I talking about?????
Scrapbookers for years have been capturing their December/Christmas/Holiday memories in one quick album. It's a daily journal of you and your families journey through the holiday's. Capturing details that you may not remember years from now. I'm excited about taking this project on this year. I want to capture exactly what we do, even if it's something simple and little. Even with the chaos (and yes I know I'm adding more) I want to capture it. I've documented quite a few Christmas layouts through the years but how fun will it be next year this time to look back on ONE entire album. The kids will be able to see the traditions our family has created and years (when I'm dead and gone) from now the kids can look back on this book and share with their kids.
My challenge & goal is to bring the inspiration to you as I share my December Daily digital layouts DAILY. Anyone want to join me? You can see all the products I used for this layout above HERE. I used quite a few elements and kits on this layout and then recolored many of them such as the Wonderfall DSP (Chevron pattern) to create an earthy tone to the layout.
Here are a few digital products I recommend to help with your December Daily Album:

Color Challenge
Each week I've been posting a new color challenge for you to try. I hope these help you if you find yourself in a creative slump. I love this weeks colors because of the gray. Gray is still very trendy and so beautiful on any project. Here is this week's challenge. I hope you will play along. Leave a comment with a link to your card and share with everyone.
For this weeks color challenge I decided to use the Open Sleigh stamp set. I love this set and every image in it. I especially love the sleigh. It's so elegant and reminds me of a real Santa's sleigh. I've also created a video on making this card you can see below.
Tip: Did you know you can use our Stampin' Up! classic ink pads to emboss with? Watch my video and you can see how I used the Not Quite Navy Classic ink pad and Clear Embossing Powder to emboss the card above.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Open Sleigh
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Basic Gray
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla, Vellum
Accessories: Linen Thread, Vintage Faceted Buttons, Fancy Fan Textured Embossing Folder, 3/4" Circle punch, Curly Label punch, Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, First Edition DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper

New Digital Downloads & Butterfly Card
Good morning and Happy Voting Day! I hope you have taken the time today to make your vote count. It's so important!
Today I want to share a layout I put together last night. I was playing with the new updates for MDS and viola, a layout was created. You are going to love the updates. See below for more information regarding the update.
This is a layout that I will put in a frame. Nothing to do with the great products used but everything to do with the picture. This picture was taken mid October last month and it signifies many changes our family has been going through. Since my sweet Prince has been home from Iraq (almost a year!) there have been some rough days. It's amazing how children react to an absence of a parent and how long it takes to get things back to the pre-deployment state. Of course when a sweet little boy still thinks he's the man of the house this can make things difficult too.
Let's just say there has been a lot of work on relationship rebuilding over the last 11 months. We've all learned a lot this past year and it's a GREAT thing.
This picture SERIOUSLY makes my heart happy. I know that we are FAR from perfect but our love for each other is strong and although there may be a few more rough patches we can get through it.
You can see all the supplies I used for this layout HERE.
Today's also a new day for Digital Downloads. You can see all the NEW downloads in this PDF. It's all about Sports this week. These downloads are sure to make great projects and layouts for sporting fans.
*Important* There is a new MDS 2 update that you will want to make sure to get. You can click HERE and you can update your software for either a Mac or PC. The exciting part of this update is now we have all 75 upgrades of the program. The updates are FANTASTIC!!
I have a little card to share today too!! I had seen this card on Pinterest but using non Stampin' Up! products and I wanted to re-create it. I love how simple this card is.
When creating this card I die cut my Label Framelit first and then started stamping. I love how these beautiful butterflies fit perfectly within the label and I could include a greeting as well. I paired the International Bazaar Designer Series Paper with this set and I love how the vibrant colors really stand out.
You can find all the supplies I used for this card below.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Kindness Matters
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Ink: Calypso Coral, Soft Suede
Accessories: International Bazaar DSP, Spritzer Color Tool, Calypso Coral Marker, Linen Thread, Rhinestones, Label Framelits
You can find all these great products in my Online Store.
