Time for a Stampin' Celebration! SC92

Hey again!  I'm back with a quick post for Stampin' Celebration today!  I hope you'll click on over to the challenge blog and check out all the wonderful DT creations!  We've got this great inspirational board to work with.... all about this wintery, wonderful, snowy Christmas-sy season!  We'd love to see you join us in the gallery!  Check it out!

I took the opportunity to design some easy peasy (lemon squeezy!) Christmas cards for my girls to hand out in their classrooms.... and I have to confess... I took their Christmas cards from last year and just sort of re-made them in MDS changing  a few different colours and stamps and of course the picture and the year!  And that my friends is why I LOVE MDS so much!  Because you can totally do that!  Here's my cards... I'll show you all three, even though only one is linked on the DT website... have to keep things even-steven with three girls you know....

Here's Gemma's...

... and here's Carlye's....

... and last, but not least... is my youngest daughter, SarahLynn.

OK, I hope you've enjoyed what you've seen here.  Leave me a comment letting me know!  I love to hear what you think!  Don't forget to makes some time to play along with us.

MDSM91-What's Your Number?

Hello there friends!  It's that time again... another great challenge beginning at MDS Monday today!  This one will run for two weeks due to the American Thanksgiving... so you'll have lots of time to play along with us!  And don't forget you can play along more than one time!  Here's Tara's cool sketch for this challenge...

We'd love to see what you can come up with.  It's a fairly simple sketch, but for an added twist try to incorporate a number.  A number of an anniversary, a birthday, an age... some kind of milestone or just a significant number in your life!!!  I used the number 10 for the '10 grandchildren' that my in-laws have and made a layout about this cool little present that they all gave my husband's baby sister when she got married a few months ago!  Here...

If you want to read my journalling, just click my layout to view it larger.  Don't you just love that last picture where the kids (and Grandma!) are all laughing their little heads off at what their fave auntie just opened from them!  Or maybe it's just me because I love them so dearly...

Anyway.... pretty simple page really.  It's so nice to have a great sketch as a starting off point... I don't think I would have come up with a page like this if it weren't for the sketch and Tara wanting that number!  Isn't that cool though, how it turned into this?

Ok, now it's your turn...

MDSM90 Again! - Family Forever!

I've got a quick post for you today!  I wanted to linkup again with MDS Monday for Beth's fabulous sketch this week! You can check out the original post here on MDS Monday and here on this blog!  You have till 12 pm on Saturday EST to link up!  We'd love to see what you can do with it!

After making my first layout,I loved Beth's sketch so much, I made another with... you guessed it... some more wedding pictures!!!!  Here ya are!

Here's a picture of the sketch....

And.... OK... it's a little different than the sketch... but all in the name of creativity and being inspired!  Now... be sure to play along and link up in the gallery... we love to see your stuff!

Now... I'm off to seek out rainbow candies... it's my daughter's 4th birthday... (my baby, boo hoo!) and she has requested rainbow cupcakes after seeing a picture of them online a few weeks ago... so I will have to see what sort of magic I can work up!

Surprise Holiday-MDSM90

Hello... and welcome to MDS Monday!  We've got an awesome sketch for you from Beth!  Check it out!

Surprise, surprise... no wedding day scrapbook layouts... instead I discovered these pictures on an old camera we have.  My daughter had taken it with to Victoria, BC on a little surprise holiday with Grandpa and Grandma, and I had never even seen the pictures!  They were typical pictures taken by a nine year old... crooked, blurry, dark, a picture of nothing... even a few selfies!  But there were also a few in there that I thought I would incorporate in a layout about there mini holiday!  Check it out!

I was pretty happy to come across these photos... as I obviously was not in on this little vacay... therefore couldn't take any pictures!

A Ride in a Limo-SC91

Hello!  Welcome back to Stampin' Celebration!  We can't wait to see what you've got for us with this great sketch!  Check it out!

Of course I have another layout done in MDS for you.  I still haven't had the time to actually make a physical card... although it's not like I haven't been busy in my office.... it's just been organizing instead of the real fun stuff, like creating!  But anyway.... this is all good too!

Another layout done in my girls' books for my sister in law's wedding last spring!  I promise there won't be too many more of those...  I'm almost done with them and then I'll be on to other everyday happenings around here!

Stories-MDSM89

Hello!  Welcome to MDS Monday!  Today is special for me as I designed the sketch challenge for this week!  Be sure to play along!

I used some pictures again of my parents' visit last spring.... I love that I am getting all these special moments scrapbooked.... and I know that my mom will probably save this layout to her desktop and proudly show my Dad when he gets home from work!  Am I right Mom? xoxo
