Perfectly Shaped Tabbed 'Notebook'

Hello fellow Scrappers! Amy here with today's blog post. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day and have lots to scrap about. This month MOSD has been focusing on 'love' as our overall theme so I decided to create a project based around something I love....no it's not your typical object of affection, but I have a huge love for creating lists. I will create a list for everything and anything. I guess you could call it more like an obsession! Yes, it's that bad. So for my MOSD project I created a notebook for myself to keep all my lists in one place. (I am also known for loosing these precious lists I create.)

MOSD has some of the most amazing Perfectly shaped Build a Book pages imaginable. For this book I used 5 Perfectly Shaped - Tabbed pages. This gave me the exact look I was going for, and will hopefully keep me a little more organized as well! And as always I used MOSD Spiral Rings to hold the book together. I don't know if I could live without those rings!
I simply cut the tabs off in the appropriate places so the pages layered effectively. This was so easy...just used my Xacto knife and we were good to go!
I cut regular copy paper to size and added it in between the chipboard pages. Which is another reason that MOSD Spiral Rings are a plus - I can always go back and replace my paper at anytime. Love it!



Thank you all for stopping by the MOSD blog today. I hope you are all inspired to create something you love - no matter what it is!!

I Love You!

Hi everyone! It's Marisa with my February MOSD project to share with you! Valentine's Day has come and gone, but love is always in the air!! The theme for my project is love and hearts! I used MOSD mini scallop perfectly shaped chipboard for this decorative piece. I love this chipboard. It is versatile and there are so many things you can do with it! For my project, I used a template to cut a heart shape out of the middle of the chipboard. Then I adhered a piece of acetate to it. I place my sentiment on another piece of mini scallop perfectly shaped chipboard and adhered both pieces together! Super simple and easy to do!

Be sure to check out the MOSD website for all of the great products that are available! Once you get to the website, go to the store locator to find the retailer near you that has these great products!


Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great week and come back for more awesome inspiration from all of the MOSD designers!! :)

LOVE is in the Air

yes so today is the day of Love, where relationships be it friendships, or romantic ones are acknowlegded. I am fortunate to share with you all today the union of two people who have been married now for 24yrs, and I have to say that it's been a wonderful ride. Now onto my project, I am in love with the flip acrylic album. I used Pink Paislee's Cupid collection. Which is perfect with the album and our theme of Love. Just a quick note, when creating with Acrylic it's best if you used Double Sided Paper this way you can see the opposite side of the pattern on the other side.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

First I would like the wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! May your day be filled with lots of love!!!


I used the "flipped out" acrylic to make my card. I cut the bottom one 6 1/2" x 5 1/4" and the top one 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I used alcohol inks cranberry and silver and then used embellies. I added my sentiment and voila!!! An original Valentine's card! I really love the alcohol inks on acrylic. It's super easy to use and the effect is stunning! TFL! :D

Will you...

...be my Valentine? I just LOVE Valentine's Day! I love it SO much while dating my husband I think I told him a million times I thought it would be SO romantic to get engaged for Valentine's Day! And guess what he actually paid attention to that! I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day with your loved ones!

And in case you are still scrambling for an last minute Valentine I have a quick and easy idea for you! I made these adorable magnetic Valentines that can also double as a decoration for years to come! I started with a MOSD Perfectly Shaped Build A Book page as my base. I used K&Company Valentine pattern paper and covered the page, I also used some of the coordinating embellishments to decorate the page. I used pop dots to lift some of the items and give some dimension to my page. When I was done embellishing the page I placed a magnet on the back and now the Valentine can be hung up as a decoration as well!

So now go grab some MOSD perfectly shaped pages and supplies and create your own Valentines today!

TFL!

Have a GREAT one!

Happy Birthday Card!

Happy February and Happy Birthday to ME! :)

In my extended family we have a ton (9 to be exact) between February 1st & February 15th ... so it's only fitting that I present you with a birthday card this month! :)







My birthday card features:
MOSD's Birthday Bright Collection - Edger
MOSD's Build a Book Perfectly Shaped - Mini Scallop
Build a Book Perfectly Shaped - Curly Bracket

I had so much fun playing with MOSD's Birthday Bright Collection - Edger! All of the pieces are already cut for you to piece together, however you can still make it your own like I did by adding the orange and yellow present on the left and by adding Stickles to parts of it. I also made the Edger pop off the card by adding pop dots under it.

The MOSD's Build a Book Perfectly Shaped - Mini Scallop and Build a Book Perfectly Shaped - Curly Bracket were the perfect sizes for my card. To add extra dimension, I added cardstock to the front of the Curly Bracket page, sanded the edges and layered on top of the Mini Scallop page. The ribbon, colored staples, circle rubons & letter stickers complete the card - with it's fun bright colors can be used for a boy or a girl!

Thanks for stopping by the MOSD blog! :)

Come on, Spring!

Take heart... Spring IS on its way!
he he.
Are you like me... ready for warmer weather?!
I'm so ready to see some flowers... and butterflies!
*
I'm using MOSD's adorable little "Show Off" album
for my springy project today.
The "Show Off" album comes with
two acylic covers and 4 cardboard pages.
I love using decorative paper in these little albums
but sometimes the paper is too thin to use all by itself.
This is where the cardboard pages come in handy.
They add durability to the album.
And since you know the album is going to be
looked at and looked at and looked at,
it needs to be sturdy and durable.
*
I'm showing this album without pictures
because I am... yes, waiting for spring.  ;-)
I can't wait to take photos of my kids
and get them in this adorable album.
*
The simplicity of my album
gives you an opportunity to use your creativity
and decide in what direction you might go further with it.
I believe that's how life is...
God gives it to us... in a simple form.
Then He says, "Now, go do something with it!"
*
Here's wishing you a warm and a simple day!
I wonder what you might do with it?  :-)
"I have come that they may have life,
and have it to the fullest."  John 10:10b
