MDS...Postcard Style

front of postcard

back of postcard

OK,  so it has taken me longer than I planned to get my MDS page/postcard posted. (he-he) Life and family comes first. I decided to follow the theme for my favorite blog hop. It's the MDS blog hop. I enjoy checking out what these ladies come up with each week and it inspires me to come up with something too! Not only am I inspired but it gets me to play with my MDS more often. Would you like to start a blog hop with me? We could create MDS pages or cards with the same theme. Sounds fun right? Leave me a comment or email me your ideas and/or interests.

This weeks' MDS theme was to create a postcard...so I played along. I've never made a postcard using MDS before so this totally took me outside of my comfort zone. I love when that happens because it means I am growing in my creativity right? Hope so! Anyway I plan to use these post cards to stick in with orders from my customers. They can also be mailed if needed for online orders.

Hope you like it. I can't wait to get these printed so I can start using them.

Off To The BEACH!!!!!

Great night of stamping last night. Thank you to the ladies who joined me. LOTS of fun!!!

Off for one more beach day before school starts. Check back tomorrow for my weekly MDS page. Can't wait to see what I show you...yeah, I'm talking to myself (he-he).

In the meantime, enjoy this pic of my boys from earlier this summer when the eight year old played soccer on the beach. That was a fun weekend too! Where did summer go? I go back to school/work on Tuesday...YIKES!!!!

THanks for stopping by...now go stamp something...or just go to the beach (LOL)

More Convention Swaps and Survivor Ramblings

Busy days here. I'm getting ready for my card class tomorrow. Very excited! Thought I'd share interesting news and then more Convention swaps.

On an uncrafty note....
I just found out that my friend's husband, Russ, (in the middle) is returning to the next season of (my favorite show) Survivor. He was on before but collapsed and had to leave. He didn't finish the game the way he wanted, something that he dreamed about like forever and then to have it end the way it did....well, just left things unfinished. I am so happy for him that he will be able to get closure on this. Of course, I don't know how it all ends. I know he is home so I guess things didn't get too bad. They sign legal documents and stuff and can't talk about it so my friend can only smile at me when she I talk about it. I can't wait to watch!

I think I may want to do this one day. Great way to lose weight right...I'm in! Oh, but the bugs and other little creatures...let me think about it a bit more....OK maybe the Amazing Race instead. Any takers on being my partner????

Ok onto the crafty part of today's post.....more swaps from Stampin' Up!'s convention

I added extra elements that I didn't think of before and I finished the second page of the spread. I am quite happy with the end results. Do you notice the differences? Is it too much now? His birthday was in May....scrapped in August...not too bad for a busy momma.

An MDS Friday!

It's an MDS Friday! My little guy turned six in May. Yes, 6 in May. It seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. All 9 pounds, 6 ounces of him! He was my biggest baby ever! Such a fun bundle to hold onto...and still is LOL. As a baby he didn't know where he ended and I began...I think he still doesn't! I just love every ounce of this little guy!

I plan to make the coordinating page later today. I wanted to get this one done and posted before the day got busy. You know... these kids like to eat... he-he.

For this page I used the First Edition paper, Back to School Kit,  and images from the Piece of Cake stamp set. I taught myself how to crop a stamp set....okay yes, Holly Linford showed us at convention but I didn't have my computer, didn't take notes on it...so I played around with it and took out the words (the and of). They were part of the birthday stamp. It should read, "the birthday of," but I just wanted the word birthday. I love that I am able to customize my page just the way I want it. I promise to share the coordinating page once I complete it.

Have you played with MDS2 yet? If not you should get started. Try the 3o day FREE trial...yes, 30 days of FREE play with MDS 2. Start your FREE trial HERE

Have a wonderful Friday!
