Happy Life- MDS Challenge

Happy Monday!  WOW did I have a fun filled weekend.  Busy crafting and seeing so many of my great friends and team here in Colorado Springs, CO.  Saturday we had a great meeting with food, stamping and sharing.  It was great to spend time with these great ladies.  

Once everyone left Cathy and I decided to do a little thrifting.  We had a few things in mind that we were looking for and wouldn't you know it, we found them.  It was a successful treasure hunt.  <smile>

Cathy and I always go on a massive crafting spree trying to get as many projects complete as possible.  Our highest count to date is 32 projects in a crafting marathon weekend.  

We had a little impromptu MDS Class Sunday morning and it works perfect for our Challenge this week.  Heather and I wanted to share this fantastic Hostess Happy Life Digital Kit.  This kit has great embellishments and stamp brushes.  

The beauty of the stamp brushes is they are SVG's.  If you love Project Life this kit is fantastic. Great journaling cards for Project Life.  

This week's challenge is about documenting your Happy Life!  What defines or describes it? Family, friends? It's time to scrapbook it.  Check out Heather's layout and video today as she uses the Digital Kit Happy Life and shows how to create zig zags.    Click HERE to see Heather's layout.

Everything Will Be Okay!

This greeting is going to be my "June" self talk every day.  This month is going to fly because of the amount of *fun* stuff we have scheduled.  Not only are we in the midst of house hunting in Pensacola we are also leading our normal lives which means chaos.  Chaos is quite normal this time of year, especially with school drawing to a close.   

I'm excited for many things this month. I'm traveling to see my amazing team in Colorado Springs today.  I cherish any time I can see my team because it's so little I do get the face to face.  However, if I can make it happen I will.  It will be a fun filled weekend full of learning, stamping and most of all giggling.  That's my fav. They are amazing.

I'm excited to see my Jacksoville team later this month.  Another set of amazing women.  I am giddy to see these ladies.  I won't be far from them anymore while living in Pensacola, so I am hoping to make regular trips to see them.  This truly makes my CHEEKS hurt.  

My card today has the perfect greeting for how I am feeling.  

It's interesting to see this card in the photo becasue the tiny little banner almost looks purple but it's not.  I used the Smoky Slate which is GORG!

I Get Super Excited When…

…everything I am working on comes together.  Do you? 

Let's face it.. As an avid paper crafter I have a lot of STUFF!!  What is SO fantastic is when all that STUFF comes together and makes a fun project.  

I spend much of my time using My Digital Studio for digital scrapbooking layouts. While it's SUPER fantastico for that, there are so many other great things you can do with it.  It's super fun to create hybrid cards.  See how I created this fun card below.  

I started this card using Whisper White cardstock.  I used the For the Grad Trifold Template.  I created a blank canvas in My Digital Studio and applied the Congrats Grad to my canvas.  Once I had my size for the card I was creating I sent this to my home printer and printed on Whisper White cardstock.  

To create the Grad cap I used the Embark Graduate Ensemble.  This kit includes 79 SVG Stamp Brushes which is perfect to import into your e-Cutter.  I exported the Grad Cap into my Silhouette Cameo and then changed the size to fit my card.  I had the Silhouette cut the cap onto Early Espresso cardstock.  Once that was cut I used two builder wheels (Travel Journal #126937 and Linked Lace -Retired) inked with Early Espresso to add a little texture to the cap.  

Once all of my elements were created it was time to assemble the card.  Becasue both of my grads were girls I decided to add a tea doily to make it frilly.  I've also dusted one of my very neglected edgelits and put it to use.  

Overall, this card came together with a lot of love.  Many elements that I love all in one place.  That is paper SUCCESS!

Feeling Kind & Cozy

I'm waiting on my big box of Stampin' Up! goods to show up on my door step.  It's going to be a hay day when they arrive.  New products make me giddy.  I love to see the opportunities they bring out in all paper crafters.  Soon, the internet will light up like Vegas with new ideas for all of us to enjoy.  Doesn't this bring a smile to your face? 

Today I wanted to share a quick card I made using the Kind & Cozy stamp set.  This stamp set is perfect for quick friendly cards of any occasion.  

I think I'm more proud of myself for not using a Tea Doily on a card than anything.  I know, kinda silly but the truth is I'm ADDICTED to them.  

This set is now available for purchase in my Online Store.  So many fun things are there to get crazy creative.
