Love You- cqc124 MDS

Happy Valentines Day!!  It's Tuesday and that means it is time for a new colourQ's challenge!  This week the colors are Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Cool Caribbean, Very Vanilla and Whisper White.  These colors were super fun to work with and I love the way they look together! (click on the page to see it bigger!)

 
Here is the page I made, it features a picture of our daughter Hannah not even 2 weeks old.  I used the basic layout that comes with the purchase of the Smitten Alphabet punch and made it into a 12x12 page.  I like these colors so much I am going to use them to make a book for each set of grandparents using pictures we got taken of Hannah!  

I hope you have a chance to stop by the colourQ blog and see the other design team members projects this week...and feel free to play along as well!

Thanks for looking!

Hannah Marie's Birth Announcements

Here is where I have been lately...

I made our daughters birth announcements using My Digital Studio.  I used the Twitterpated Digital Download kit to make it.  I did not come up with the design myself, I cased it from Stampin' Up!  I was planning on making a design up myself, but being a new Mommy has kept me busy, and needed to get theses done before she is 12! :)

You should expect to see some digital scrapbook pages with our new little girl! :)  I need to start them because I am already a month behind!

Thanks for Stopping by!

Merry and Bright MDS Christmas Card- My Digital Studio Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Digital Studio Blog Hop!  For the next few weeks our theme is going to be general "Holiday" so you can see what we have been working on for the up coming Holidays!

Here is our Christmas card this year.  I CASED it from Connie Collins.  I loved the simple and crisp look of the card.  It uses the Christmas Jingle DSP and embellishments.  I did change the sentiment just a teeny tiny bit...I changed the font of "merry & bright" to match the font I used on the inside of the card.   

Here is the inside of the card.  I embellished the bottom of the card to match the front and gave the entire (including the top of the card when you open it and the back of the card) a small soft polka-dot background.  I typed my own sentiment using the font My Own Topher and added our signatures in the Digs My Heart font.

I was really pleased when I received them in the mail from the print services from Stampin' Up!

Full Bow Christmas Postcard- MDS Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Digital Studio Blog Hop!  For the next few weeks our theme is going to be general "Holiday" so you can see what we have been working on for the up coming Holidays!

Here is a card I CASED 98% from Julie Warnick (thanks Julie!!)  I just loved the way it looked and how it fit the feeling of the family picture one of my friends gave me to make their Christmas cards with.  I Made a few different sample cards for her and this is the one she liked the best!

The postcard is 5x7 and uses the Presto Patterns stamp set to make the background.  The bow was made using three Seam Binding ribbon bows rotated on top of each other to achieve the full bow shape and then an Antique Brad was added to the middle.

 

Here is the back of the postcard.  I always decorate the back of the postcards....nothing ever too crazy or complicated, just enough to finish it off.

Remembering-MDS Blog Hop

It's week 15 of the My Digital Studio Blog Hop!  This week our theme was remembrance.  It is kind of a perfect theme for my family today, because it is the fourth anniversary of my Mama passing away.

I knew I wanted to make a page with her in it, but I just had to find a picture with her in it.  I found this one.  It is a picture taken at my husband and I's wedding.  This is a very simple page, but thought it needed to be that way so your focus is on the picture.

Sending You Joy Christmas Card- My Digital Studio Blog Hop

Welcome to week 13 of the My Digital Studio Blog Hop!  This week our theme was to create  Christmas Post card!  This was fun!  Stampin' Up! has some great bulk pricing just in time for the holidays!  Be sure to check them out!  It is never too early to start thinking about, or even making your holiday cards!

     Here is the front of the 4"x9 1/4" post card I made.  (click on the card to make it bigger!)   It come together very quickly.  I used pictures of my cousins kid again, because he is so cute and these pictures were perfect for this week!

  And here is the back of the post card.  (click on the card to make it bigger!)  I left a lot of blank space so you could hand write or type a personal message to the recipient.  These could be used as true post cards (you would substitute the stamped stamp for a real one and then address the back of it) or you could easily put them into an envelope and mail them that way.

Alex's Silly Freeze Face- My Digital Studio Blog Hop

Welcome to week 12 of the My Digital Studio Blog Hop!  This week our challenge was Versatility...use Designer Series Paper (DSP) for something OTHER than what it is intended for!

To be honest, I do this a lot.  I love that Stampin' Up! has a "search" bar in the DSP folder so you can search for the color you are wanting or needing.  This makes it sooo nice to find all the DSP that has ...lets say... Chocolate Chip in it, so you can find any and all DSP that has that color in it, even though it may be a Christmas pack of paper, but not necessarily Christmas images on it.

(click on the page to see it bigger!) 

This week I made a page featuring my cousins cute little boy again (are you sick of seeing him yet? :) )  He is eating an Otter Pop and finding out that if he eats it too fast, he will in deed get a brain freeze, which results in a "silly freeze face"!

The DSP's I used for this page both came from the Pick your Poison paper pack, and I really like the orange patterned one...a lot!  I added a few embellishments, a title and the page was done!
