Download First Day of School Free Printable Set
As promised! Help yourself to a free printable of PL cards. Most of our kids have gone back to school recently (mine this week) and I thought this would be a fun way to document the first day. Send me a picture, email or leave a comment if you use these in a project. I would love to see them.
*Tip* Have your child fill out the card and put next to a picture of him or her on the first day. It's a great way to document those once in a lifetime moments. Hope you enjoy!!

Ok, can I just say.... I freakin' LOVE my new logo, blog, look...everything!!! I've gotten a few questions about my new logo and I wanted to give a huge shout out to Alex Tomlinson. He is the creator of the Strange Rituals font that I used in my logo. Don't you just love it?? I do!! Anywho, this kid is awesome. Check out his stuff and make a purchase to support him.
In other news I'm working on some free printables for you all. This time they are project life cards. I'll let you know when they are ready.

Well, in my world, change is good. The more I grow and learn, the more I change. My aesthetic and my style change. The colors I like change. And, as the world goes on, trends change. And that is my segway into a new look for my blog. I've been working super hard behind the scenes for months now getting everything ready.
This means that over the next month as I implement these changes, you'll see my blog in a bit of a disarray. Let's be real here for a minute. I'm not rich. I can't pay for someone to design my blog for me. So, I spend my time learning and working on digital design, web design and code. So much in fact my brain hurts, burns even. Hopefully the switch will be quick, like ripping of a band-aid, but it may take me a couple weeks to get it all together. Stay tuned... I'm really proud of how it's all coming together. In the meantime, here is a little mood board that incorporates the feel of my new look.

Ok, here is my Week 2 Project Life page. This week was calm and quiet so I opted for a single page instead of an entire layout. I used some Studio Calico stuff plus a printable calendar card that I purchased from Paislee Press. Love that for just $4.50 I have a whole years worth of cards that I can customize with colors that I want. Ok, here is my page:
This page came together super quickly and I'm really enjoying this process so far. How is your PL year going? Are you up to date still?

I'm back with another My Digital Studio Monday. Today we are going to talk about working with templates. There are many digital kits offered by Stampin' Up! that include templates in them. As a matter of fact, when you purchase the My Digital Studio Software, it comes preloaded with a bunch of templates to choose from. So, what is a template you ask? Well, a template is basically a pre-made page or layout and you just add your photos to. Templates are a great way to quickly make fantastic looking pages and cards. Today I am using one of the templates from the Lemonade Stand disc that I received during Sale-A-Bration. This particular disc came with 12 template cards, and 12 template pages!!
It was so easy to create this awesome page. I altered the template just slightly by adding the two strips of DSP at the top with the staples, and enlarging the size of one of the photos. I then added my journaling text over the speech bubble and it was done!! This page literally took me all of about 5 minutes!! Incredible!
Are you interested in trying out MDS? Well, you can download the software for free and try it for 30 days. Go to my online store and do that now. Ready to buy it? Well, guess what... Stampin' Up! just lowered the price... MDS is now only $19.95!! That's right, an amazing value. Try it out... I think you'll like it!!

I have been trying to participate in more challenges lately (if you haven't noticed!) and my card today is one I created for the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger: Wake Up Call. I am so excited about this card because (drum roll, please) it is a MDS Hybrid card!! Yeah!! I was searching for a cup or coffee related stamp to use for a card and realized I didn't have one. So, I opened MDS and printed one... along with some DSP that I used on the card! So awesome! Ok, here is the trigger:
And here is my card based on the trigger above:
So, I used several items from the trigger for this card. I picked the colors and went with those. I also used the coffee and cup ideas as well as the polka dots. I also used some products from the Artisan Embellishments Kit. What do you think?? Pretty cool hybrid, huh??
Wanna try out MDS? You can do it for free for 30 days. Go to my online store and download it. You won't be sorry!!
