Baby Foot Prints- SCIC66

It's mid May...already!  And that means the Stampin' Celebration design team has a new sketch!


Here is the page I made using the sketch. The picture is of me holding our then, 5 day old daughter and the foot prints we did at home using Stampin' Up ink and cardstock!   We didn't get very good ones in the hospital, so we did our own!

Looking with Daddy- MDSM14

It's Monday and time for another MDS Monday Challenge!  Yep, It has only been one week since we last posted a challenge, but we are going to start posting a new challenge every week, but the challenges will still be open for two, so it give you plenty of time to create something and share it with us!

For this challenge we have a sketch.  It looks like more of a card sketch, but you can make it into a page too, like I did:


I am trying to get all the pictures I want to use in my daughters "first year" scrapbook scraped and put in to an album so I can take advantage of the 25% off digital print pricing until June 15 promo going on!

I kept this page simple, just like the sketch.  But I think it works with the pictures of my daughter and husband.  I used the Back to School kit on my page.

After I made my page I decided to make a card using the same Back to School kit.  Here it is:


The card came together real quick, thanks to the kit! :)  


Here is the sketch...what can you make using it as inspiration? 


Be sure to go by the MDS Monday blog and see what all the other DT members created using the sketch and challenge.  And we would love to have you join us too...the challenge lasts two weeks, so you have time to create something in MDS and show us.

Hannah Jumper-MDSM13

It's Monday and time for another MDS Monday Challenge!  It is my turn to provide a sketch and challenge.  My challenge was to use the sketch I provided as well as using a monochromatic color scheme on the page.  Here is what I made:


I used Rich Razzleberry as my color and decided on that because of the shirt my daughter is wearing.  The DSP and the frogs are from the Hoppy Memories kit and I just re-colored them to a Rich Razzleberry hue.  I still do not know if this page just looked like a grape exploded all over it or not! :)


Here is the sketch.  We would love to see what you can do with MDS! 

Be sure to go by the MDS Monday blog and see what all the other DT members created using the sketch and challenge.  And we would love to have you join us too...the challenge lasts two weeks, so you have time to create something in MDS and show us.

A page of my daughter and her friend in the bath tub last October.  I used the On thr Go kit for the boat, fish and sun.  The wavy stitches are the Scallop 2 from the Staples and Stitching and the big title font is A Song for Jennifer and the small is Eternal Promise.

Here is the inspiration piece for May:

What fun bright colors for this month!

First Bath- MDSM12


It's Monday and time for another MDS Monday Challenge!  It is Holly's turn to provide a sketch and challenge.  She is challenging us and you to use the brush tool someplace on your page.  Here is the page I made:

 

Can you spot what I did with the brush tool?  See the water waves?  I drew those freehand using the brush tool...how fun!  I used the Hello Baby kit on my page.  I thought it went well with the pictures of my daughter getting her first bath at home.  The font I used for the title is called Scribble Box and the journaling is Digs My Heart. 

Here is the sketch:



The big circle in the middle of the page kind of freaked me out at first, but then I played around with it and got something to work and I like it!  Thanks for the challenge Holly!

Be sure to go by the MDS Monday blog and see what all the other DT members created using the sketch and challenge.  And we would love to have you join us too...the challenge lasts two weeks, so you have time to create something in MDS and show us.

Spring Hop- MDS Blog Hop


The MDS Blog Hop crew is back with another hop for you!!  This is or first hop of the month, so we have a theme...it is Spring!  Don't forget about our Pinterest page too!!  We have ALL of our pages and/or projects each design team member has made since we started in January pinned!!  Check it out here and make sure to follow us!


With the theme this time and it just being Easter, I made an Easter page.  Here it is:


I kept it simple.  The embellishments and DSP are from the Spring Fever kit and the doily in the back is from the kind-of-new download Paper Doilies.  I did recolor the DSP from the kit to Wisteria Wonder and changed the opacity to make it match her outfit.

Simple page, but now it is ready to go in our 2013 album!!
