Start your Holiday Cards in August! Christmas Clubs forming Now!

Home Again, Home Again....

Well, after  GREAT week on Marco Island, we are home. Home Sweet Home. All that is missing is Bella. We will pick her up tomorrow from Canine Clubhouse. :) Can't wait to snuggle my girl.

So on the flight home tonight, I pulled out the laptop and worked on some pages. Here is one that I just love because it's got a lot of FUN elements on it.

I started with River Rock Cardstock in the background, and then added the Baroque Overlay Stamp on top of it. I changed the color of the stamp to white, and brought the opacity down quite a bit, so now it looks like it was stamped with Versamark. :)

Then I layered Bashful Blue Cardstock and some stitching, along with Soft Suede Cardstock with a Script Overlay. There is also more River Rock in there...which I added a Polka Dot Stamp on top of, and again, made it white. I love that I can create my own Designer Paper this way. Very cool! 

Then I added some tags and fun words...and of course the star of the show are the pictures. 

I will admit that I spent over an hour on this layout. But it was fun to do! That is what is so great about My Digital Studio. You can use the predesigned templates and just drop your photos in, and be done in 5 minutes...or you can create from scratch and build your page the way you want it! So much flexibility and fun! 

I am glad to be home though...I missed my stamps! And we are getting ready for our New Catalog Stamp Camp coming up this Saturday at 1:00 PM. Did you sign up yet? Don't miss a super fun day!

Hope to see you there!

Two posts in the SAME day? WOW!

Well, I am sunburned, so I am taking a break from the beach today....
so while the family is out in the sun,  I am sitting in the A/C working on a couple scrapbook pages. :)

Yesterday, we went on this awesome Dolphin Excursion out of Marco Island Rose Marina. It was a 3 hour tour (sing along now...a three hour tour...). We saw over 20 dolphins! It was AMAZING.
The kids (and adults) had a great time! It was gorgeous being out on the boat. I could have spent all day out there. :)

Part of the excursion was stopping at one of the 10,000 islands surrounding Marco. It was called Barrier Island. It is secluded...and gorgeous! No buildings, just gorgeous SOFT sand, and TONS of shells and the water was incredible. It was stunning.

Emily and I collected a tons of shells...amazing shells. WOW! They are soaking in a bath right now to get the sand and smell out of them...and yes, we checked to make sure there is nothing living in them. :)

So, I wanted to make a page to show this beautiful place. It's simple...but I like my pages that way to keep the focus on the pictures.

On this page I used the Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper, along with some new ruffled polka dot ribbon. The elements (the postcard) is from the Beau Chateau Digital Embellishments Download...it's new with this catalog, and it's awesome. It has a great vintage feel/look to it. I find myself reaching for it a lot! 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek! I love vacation, but I am ready to get home and hit the stamps! :))

Have a great day and weekend!

Scrapbooking on Vacation

I love MDS! 
I love that I can just grab my laptop and scrapbook my vacation while I am still ON vacation! 


How cool is that?


Here is a page I made today of the gorgeous beach we are staying on this week! 

I am one of those people who easily gets behind on my pages. I just never seem to have the time to get it done. But I do have 15 minutes a day to crank out a page. And that is all this took! I have my laptop, and that is all I need to scrapbook wherever I am! Love that! 

I will of course resume stamping projects next week when we return home. We are having a GREAT vacation and I am excited to share more pages with you! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Pennant Parade

Hello Stampers!

It's been SO HOT here in CT. that it's a fine and dandy excuse to stay in and STAMP! :))

I played with another new set this week, Pennant Parade. At first I didn't realize how versatile this set was! It's a SUPER FUN SET! It can be banners, Christmas trees, party hats...all kinds of fun stuff!

Here is a Birthday Card I made...and I love the bright colors on it! It just makes me HAPPY!!

The cardstock base is Melon Mambo, and the Designer Series Paper is Wild Wasabi (so glad that color is back). The yellow color on this card is Daffodil Delight! Such a fun bright card!
Who wouldn't love to receive this card on their special day?

We are off on vacation today...so I will be sure to update from Marco Island! I think it's hotter here than it is here! Bella will be on her own vacation at the Canine Clubhouse!
