MDS Monday!

Since I was a slacker last week & ended with Wednesday's post...& we took a long-weekend trip away...& just got back today, this week might be sporadic because I'm pretty exhausted...but I did manage to get my MDSM35 Challenge done, so here it is!

Challenge:

Visit MDS Monday for all the details & to submit your own creation!

And here is my creation for this challenge!  I must say I was a little nervous about the 'touch of color' challenge, but I immediately thought of the color photo in this layout that I took of my daughter this weekend at the beach.  The sun was setting & it just made her more beautiful than she already is!!

Hope you've enjoyed this layout!  I'd love to hear what you think...

Throwback Thursday!

A little about me before I was a SAHM/Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!

FIVE Years ago this month...

My friends pushed me around Hollywood Studios one night...

 

My cat, Morph, loved to curl up in the blankets & lay on my pillow on my bed.

I traveled 'home' to Maryland to see my family that I hadn't seen in quite a while!

This is me with 2 of my nephews!!

I went to the Maryland Renn Faire while I was in town...

AND I actually got an axe in the heart!! 

FREE BEER!!!!!

 

Sean came from Indiana to meet me in Maryland...

...he helped me move my stuff from my Aunt's house into a storage unit & also packed some of my stuff to keep at his house until he moved to FL...

What a great guy...who would have known that in just 17 months, we would be MARRIED!?!

 We enjoyed lots of food that was 'bad for us'...especially my favorite...FRIED Snickers!

 

 

Ok...I know this was a silly post for the night...I was just feeling a little nostalgic.  However, if you liked it, let me know!!  There's plenty more of our adventures...especially our trip back to Indiana in a few days.  Maybe Throwback Thursday needs to be a 'regular' thing?!?

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you enjoyed tonight's fun pics!

Friday Feature!

Hello & Happy Friday!!

I'm sorry I skipped yesterday, but I was getting ready for this awesome project reveal today!  (I actually had to make it...& remind myself to take photos as I went because I always seem to forget to do that!)

 You need: a 10" Styrofoam wreath, straight pins, a thimble (optional), a Bone Folder & 6 sheets of Designer Series Paper to get started.

Cut your Designer Series Paper (DSP) into 1/2" strips.  (I did this until I had 4" of each paper left)

 Using your Bone Folder, curl your 1/2" strips.  Be careful not to curl too much, or the paper will actually stop curling & straighten out (ask me how I know!?!)...but you can curl them tighter with your fingers if they're not tight enough. ;)

 

Start pinning each paper curl onto the wreath...randomly...

 

I have issues with 'random' placement of anything, so this was a challenge for me.  I was, however, determined to step out of my comfort-zone & make this work!

 

Continue pinning paper curls until the whole wreath is full...at least the top & kind of down the edges...you want it to lay flat against the wall or door that you're going to hang it on.

 

After that, I added some Chevron Ribbon to hang it by, some glitter-bats on wire & a Rosette made out of one of the 4" strips of DSP that I had left.

 

Next was deciding what to put inside the Rosette...

 

I chose this, but you could use any number of items...the Witches Brew Banner Kit actually has lots of cool glitter images & supplies to make Rosettes too!  (The Banner Kit would make decorating your wreath in coordinating colors super-easy!!!)

I hope you enjoyed this project!  If you would like to order the supplies to make one of your very own, contact me so we can discuss what your options are!  If you would like one of these already made for you, I'm taking orders for those as well...in Halloween, Fall/Thanksgiving or Christmas!

If you order the supplies & would like a little 'direction' while you assemble it, we can set up a Private Class for you & up to 3 of your friends!  (Again, contact me so we can work out the details & set your date!)

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask me!

Thanks for stopping by!  I'd love to hear what you think about this...leave a comment below with any thoughts, suggestions & even ideas about this wreath & you will be entered into a drawing!

Wednesday Wonders!

Well, it's Wednesday again...half-way through the week...hump-day...that much closer to the weekend...whatever gets you through the week, I guess. ;)  I've never really had an issue with Wednesdays...they are good days!  & this week is no exception...although I could ask for better weather...the near-constant rain & over-cast skies we've had the last 3 days are starting to drain my energy...I NEED the sun to thrive & I am trying to patiently wait for it's return.  In the mean-time, there has been more movie-watching, couch-laying, & napping here than normal...& it's the weather's fault!  Luckily hubby understands! :)

But on to better things...the Wednesday Wonders!!!!!  Well, these were actually released yesterday, which would make them Tuesday Treasures...but my blog post went out before these showed up, so I'm sharing them today!

Another NEW Photopolymer Stamp Set!!!!!

Card Club Tuesday...

On Saturday, we had our Monthly Card Club! 

(If you'd like info on starting your very own Card Club, just let me know!)

 

This month's theme was Halloween/Fall, so here are the cards I designed!

 

 We used the Tags 4 You & Tape It stamps sets.  I love Tape It...there's nothing like being able to stamp your own Washi Tape...in any color you want!

 

Hope you enjoyed today's cards & remember, if you are interested in starting your own Card Club, just let me know & we can start working out the details!  (Christmas is coming...faster than we'd like...so why not start your cards NOW?!?)

 

Thanks!
