Stamp Time Somewhere

MDS Blog Hop - Fun Sketch Challenge

 

When I first saw this week's sketch, I was a little scared - then quite excited. It is definitely a challenge from my normal. Thing is - I didn't get a chance to finish it! I've just finished up a HUGE project that I can share with you in January, plus I've been fighting round 2 of a bug and dealing with little men that are still not quite right - in top of a mini vacation - well.... I hate to admit sometimes that I can not do it all - but this was one of those weeks.

However, as you visit the rest of the gals, I am sure you'll agree that this is a GREAT sketch! Here is a link to the sketch with dimensions - SO - I would like to challenge you to create a page based on this sketch and either post it on your blog and like here or post it to www.mydigitalstudio.net

Happy Blog Hop Black Friday!!!

Happy Black Friday. I hope that all of my friends that celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday had a wonderful day. I had such a wonderful opportunity to reflect on things that I am grateful for. I am grateful for my family,and my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I am grateful for my friends, for my customers and team members I am lucky enough to also call friends. I am grateful for so so so much, I would hate to bore you with the full list!

Speaking of Black Friday - have you already shopped Stampin' Up!s On-line Extravaganza? It is full of some wonderful deals! INCLUDING MDS at 50% off. If I've inspired you over the last year or so to try MDS - now is the time to get it!!!

I hope you enjoyed my posts this week of my Artisan projects, but today is MDS day! I know a lot of times I get pretty dependant on all of the wonderful embellishments offered, and I forget to use my stamp brush sets, so this week I challenged the team to create with the stamp sets!

I found this old picture of my 2 oldest boys and thought it would be a fun one for a page.

It's simple but fun! I featured the Old Saint Nick stamp set (which comes standard on MDS software) - I LOVE being able to color our stamps and it's opened a whole new world when they once sat a little underappreciated.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the Hop this week!!!

MDS Blog Hop - a Little me

I am SO excited! MDS Monday - a NEW Challenge Blog!

I am so excited that there is a fun new MDS Challenge blog on the block and I am THRILLED to be a guest artist for their very first challenge.

Tara Bourgoin was one of this year's Artisan Award finalists and so very talented, so when I checked in on her blog last week and saw her announcement of the new challenge blog, I sent her a quick little email telling her how excited I was for her and how fun it sounded. I also asked her to keep me in mind if they ever wanted a guest artist.... well, she said YES! I am so excited that I get to be a part of their launch!

This week's challenge was a page sketch, and as soon as I saw it, I knew exactly what I wanted to do....

So for this page I used the text stamp of baseball sayings in place of the journaling, but when I print out the page I will put the names of all the boys on the team. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Game Day Baseball download. We are a BASEBALL family. You see, my husband is that super good looking coach and 2 of those handsome boys are mine.

Please go check out the new MDS Monday Challenge Blog, take a look at what the talented design team has in store for you. I know I am very excited to play along!

MDS Blog Hop - Inspired by Rochelle

 

Happy Friday! I love Fridays, I know I've said that before, but I DO!!!

This week we were challenged to find inspiration in the blog of the person after us! That was easy! I love Rochelle's blog. The interesting part was being able to translate her style into something that worked for me and my BOYS, as she does a great job scrapping her daughter. I chose to work with her layout HERE. I loved the layout and was drawn to the monochromatic color scheme with the pop of bright color. Well, I kind of stayed with the layout and my ideas behind the color scheme completely changed once I decided on these great pictures

My little guy is growing up, and makes sure to tell me all day long. He is in that stage where he wants to do everything by himself and help with everything. It can be so hard, but he is doing so well and I WANT him to be able to do things for himself, but I know he is my last baby so part of me really wants to be able to do these things for him as long as possible.

The background color is Crushed Curry with the Natural Compostitions Overlay stamp to give it some texture. I used the Chevron pattern Designer Paper from the On the Go Kit and recolored it to Night of Navy.  A few touches of Cherry Cobbler and White and I LOVE the end result!

Let's go check out what everyone else has done this week!
