Bike Track Birthday

Happy Saturday friends!  I've been on the run (literally) since 4AM...I'm ready for a nap!  But we've still got a lot of day left, which includes my nephews birthday party at the bike track. All 3 of my boys are so excited and can hardly wait for 2PM to get here!

I needed a quick and easy card to create while my youngest nap, so I pulled out my e-cutter, downloaded and cut out the fun Extreme Dirt Bike stamp, added a few splashes of grunge and...

...good enough for an 8 year old, right?!?!?  My twins thought it was cool, so I guess I did alright :-)

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Whisper White

Ink ~ Smoky Slate, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Jet Black StazOn

Stamp Sets ~ Lemonade Stand*, Extreme Dirt Bike*, Off the Grid, Gorgeous Grunge, Clockworks

Other Supplies ~ Distressing Tool, Silhouette Cameo e-cutter

*MDS

 

As much as I want to stay here and play more with my stamps and MDS, I must keep moving and get a few more things done before we head out to the bike track.

 

Hope you all have a great weekend!

 

Happy Stamping!

Shocker Student

Happy Wednesday friends!  Here we are, half way through the week again...yippee!!

I've been playing around more and more in MDS thanks to some amazing help from Kimberly and Heather ...the Queens of MDS!  I have found a new love and am so happy to finally be able to put all of my pictures into an album...digitally, of course!

On Monday, one of my twins earned Student of the Month at his school..proud momma moment for sure!  He was very excited and was actually happy {not embarrassed} to see me at school when he received his award.  I wasn't able to get a good picture of him at school, but we did get one at home.  Using this weeks sketch from the Simply My Digital Studio group on Faceboook, I was able to quickly create a fun page in honor of Hunter's big day!

MDS Supplies:

Paper ~ Gumball Green, Watercolor Wonder, Whisper White, Smoky Slate

Stamps ~ Chevron Overlay, Chevron Grunge, Crazy Mixed Up Love, Ink Splatter

Embellishments ~ Essentials Wooden Elements

Font ~ Sketch Me

 

Now that I am having so much fun creating in MDS, I find myself taking more pictures and am discovering I really need a new camera...hoping I can convince my hubby that this is a good idea! 

 

Happy Stamping...umm...MDS'ing!
