This is for my friend Morgan. She LOVES lady bugs! I was inspired to make this from

Gretchen Barron. I can see myself casing lots of her things. Such beauty. Thanks Gretchen for your inspiration.

Scrap Challenge 46 - SUDSOL

I have been wanting to scrapbook using MDS for so long now! So today was the day that I am fooling around with it. SUDSOL (a demo group I belong to) had a scrap challenge so that is what inspired me. I've made 4 pages now from our summer camping trips for 2010. That is me and my family in the lower right hand side of the page. AWWWW.

Thank you Blossom

I made this card for my downline Tracey who gave me the Stampin' Up! Card Tree. I was so excited! Thank you Tracey! The flower was made by cutting a piece of designer paper 1" by 12" then scored every 1/4". Fold it back and forth, back and forth then adhere the ends and shape into a circle/flower. I used the 1" circle punch to secure the flower to on the back and one on the front and topped it with a button. Instead of thread I used a very slim piece of chocolate chip card stock and took the bone folders to tear the fibers then use it like thread. The ribbon is the "scrunchy" method. That is where you find a fiber in the middle to pull on and the ribbon will start to scrunch. Once you have the length you like place it on your card with some sticky strip. The background is done using the Big Shot and the Polka Dots EF. Love my Big Shot.

Build a Blossom Birthday for my Sister in law

This card was made for my Sister in Laws Birthday. I love the Build a Blossom set along with the punch. Makes a quick and easy but beautiful card.

BINGO - MDS

My son who is in Kindergarten has certain "sight" words they have to learn. So to try and make it fun I created a BINGO game using My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up! Then we punched 1" circles with the circle punch to cover up the words once they are called out. After I printed them out I mounted them on card stock (not shown here). Next I will make some with numbers.
