MDS PROJECT...

Just a quick idea for you today.
Are you ever in a hurry to create a quick invite to a party, get together, or event???
Well I had 5 minutes before I had to walk out the door for church and realized I had forgotten to make reminders for my girls group activity for this week!
OOOPS - still in vacation mode.
So I hopped onto my {MY DIGITAL STUDIO} program and quickly created this little reminder. I was able to get (4) to a page and was out the door on schedule!
HAVE A TERRIFIC DAY:)))

Bog Shot Project Idea...

This week for a {Big Shot Project Idea} I wanted to share a card I received in a group swap from my up line - Sue Brown.
She used the Flower Garden Embossing Folder and Pastel Chalks to create a BEAUTIFUL card.
Take a peak below and see what she did!

Flower Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Die
#123113
$7.95

The Floral Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder lets you create instant floral masterpieces all year round! The deep embossed look adds interest, dimension, and texture on single layers of card stock and Designer Series Paper. Folder coordinates with the Beyond the Garden suite and measures 4-1/2" x 5-3/4".

Sue embossed once directly on the card (purple flowers), and then she embossed again , twice, on separate pieces of paper. She then applied Pastel Chalks and cut them out. The orange flowers are adhered directly to the card with adhesive (snail or glue)...and the teal flowers are pop dotted up for a little 3-d effect. She also used a greeting and the Jewelery Tag Punch to complete the card.

Sunday Share...

So this was one of my top ten sets that I just HAD to get my hands on as soon as the catalog came out. I {LOVE} this cute set and have already used it so much!!!

Elements of Style...

Today I wanted to share this card with you that uses the {ELEMENTS OF STYLE} stamp set. I stamped the flower image in Black StazOn Ink and then used my pastel chalks to add color. I took a length of Crumb Cake Seam Binding...spritzed it with some water and crunched it up. I let that dry for awhile before using it. I added some rhinestones for some bling, and cut out the bird for added dimension.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out this project.
HOPE YOUR ENJOYING YOUR WEEKEND!

MY DIGITAL STUDIO FUN...

I was asked to do some more Baptism Invitations...so I go the chance to sit and play with my MDS program and create a little. Emily wanted purple and black, her two favorite colors. With how crazy busy things have been in my life lately...I was glad for the opportunity to sit and create!
