Fab Snowman

It's time once again for another Fab Friday challenge! I can't believe how quickly the two weeks between challenges seem to go sometimes. Now that we are into December, I'm sure that time will fly by even faster right on through Christmas. Why is it that as a child, December was the slooooowest month and as an adult it is the fastest? Anyway, I hope that you are having a wonderful holiday season so far and that you are able to enjoy all the fun and wonder of Christmas. In that spirit, I have two Christmas-y projects to share using Mindy's color combination for the new challenge.

My first project is a card using one of my favorite sets for Christmas, Snow Much Fun. I just love the two adorable snowmen in this set!

Stampin' Up Supplies Used:
Stamps: Snow Much Fun, Tiny Tags
Paper: Real Red, Whisper White, Gumball Green, Pool Party, 2012-2014 In Color DSP stack
Ink: Black Staz On, Whisper White Craft (for sponging), Basic Gray, Real Red, Gumball Green, Pool Party, Primrose Petals markers
Accessories: Big Shot, Snowburst EF, Perfect Polka Dots EF, Window Frames Collection framelits, Tiny Tag punch, Gumball Green ribbon, Festive Paper Piercing Pack

This card also combines two other challenges for this week. The sketch is from iSpy Sketches and the snowman theme is for the challenge at the Paper Players.

 

As a bonus, I did a second project, which is an MDS page. Since I started playing around with it last night and this morning, I can't seem to leave it alone. Here is a page I did of my daughter's second Christmas. I think it still needs some tweeking, but here it is in its current state.

Supplies Used: MDS2, Old Saint Nick brush set, tag punch, Real Red grosgrain ribbon knot

Well, thanks for stopping by! Be sure to come and play along with us at Fab Friday! The challenge ends on Thursday, December 20th.

First Ever MDS Page!

I'm so excited! I have had My Digital Studio for well over a year and while I have tinkered around with it, I have never made anything that I liked. I recently upgraded to MDS2+ and have been playing around with it a bit more.

Last night, I joined a new group on Facebook all about My Digital Studio and they posted an awesome video on how to insert a picture into multiple photo boxes, so I decided to give it a try and managed to finish my very first page!

I used one of my most favorite pictures of my son, Isaac. This picture was taken in February 2010 when we received over FOUR FEET of snow! Isaac wanted to sled ride, but it was impossible with so much snow. My husband, Jason, my sister, Marcy, and I dug out a trail in our front and side yard complete with a turn and a jump at the end! We had so much fun sledding on it and the best part was that I was able to capture the fun with this great picture.

Edited to add an updated version of the page. I continued to play around with it and decided to try to crop in the picture a bit more. This is the second version, but I think I prefer the first one. What do you think?
