With all my heart...

I used the MOSD Friendship Edger
for my card today.
After having a fantastic vacation with a dear friend
that I hadn't seen in two years,
I figured she deserved a "paper hug."
That's what our paper creations are, you know...
when you give them away,
they become "paper hugs."
*
This particular MOSD Edger
originally states "Hold a Friend with Both Hands"
and features a cute little antique telephone,
you know... the kind you hold "with both hands."
Very clever!
And the words are meant to lay over the die cut strip.
I changed my edger up a bit so you could
see the various ways you can work with these great tools.
*
So the inside of my card reads...

Here's wishing you friendship, hugs, and kisses today!

T-Ball Mini album

(OK so I am finally back online and working problem free again! Gotta love computers-huh?! So I am a couple days late-sorry!)
So for the boys T-ball coach who was an OUTSTANDING coach I wanted to do something really special to thank him for all he has done for the boys so I grabbed my trusty MOSD products and some of the new super fun BoBunny paper and began creating away! I made a mini album for the coach with various pictures I had taken during the season showing just how involved and dedicated the coach was to the kids. I started with Perfectly Shaped Build A Book Pages, I added one of the Clearly Designed Album pages, I thought the Razzle Dazzle Cover Up in black looked a lot like the chain link fences at the baseball fields so I used that on a page, I also added a piece of the Star Intricacy Paper with a Clearly Stated Transparency over it. This was SO much fun to put together and there are SO many MOSD products that can mixed and matched to create one of your own! The coach was beyond touched and was speechless upon receiving such a personal gift! I think it was a success! ; )



Thanks for looking and I hope I inspired you to go grab some MOSD products and create a fun mini album of your own for a gift or just for yourself!

Christmas in July!!



Wow I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone by. We are half we through already, and even though it's summer in the USA it's when I begin to think about the Joys of Christmas. The family parties and lets not forget that Christmas Shopping List.  Well in early celebration of Christmas  I created a Banner using MOSD Perfectly Shaped Home Plate. I turned the Shapes upside down and viola a banner was created I also loved how easy it was to stitch the pattern paper right onto the Home Plate.

God's Love and Joy...

Friends of ours were recently blessed with a
sweet baby boy
so I just had to make them a precious card
to congratulate them.
With the help of MOSD,
you can see how gorgeous
this sweetly simple card turned out to be.
I used the "Babies and Children" Clearly Stated transparencies
for the inside of my card
and the "Baby of Mine" Topper for the cover.
*
Truly, God's love and joy have
come into our friends' lives.
May your lives be equally blessed!

::dear god::

EssenseVibez in the houuuuzzzzzzzeeee!!!
i have a question for you---
do you ever sit by yourself in the morning and just want to soak
in the quietness of the house?


then you look up and before you know it,
you become one with God

i do and when i have all kinds of thoughts going through
my head i like to write them down
just plain ol' simple thoughts
so i made a
"dear god" journal




i made this journal using the Perfectly Shaped Build A Book
i painted one side of each shape cut a square in one of the shapes adhered vellum to the square then added my photo- i adhered another shaped chipboard behind the front and back covers the pages are made from white cardstock-
then
added my own personal doodling touches on the page
i plan on filling this journal with more of my thoughts to God

if you like what i made, please leave a comment--
you can also see the remaining pages i'm working on HERE
take time to peruse this blog to see the fantastik work the DT Team has made
there is much inpsiration on this blog---take advantage of it all!!!

A man's home...

Hello all of you awesome MOSD fans and fellow DT members!  I've been out of synch for a while and am happy that I've had some time to create recently...

I was looking through my stash and thinking about my hubby...and saw one of the AWESOME shaped chipboard MINI BOOK pages I have in my stash...I turned it here and there and thought...HMMMMM...if I hold it a certain way, it reminds me of a house...now I'm sure this isn't the first time this shape has taken on the shape of a house, but my idea took shape as I also looked at some of the other shapes...I LOVE the layered look when I make mini albums, and some of the other chipboard SHAPES make it SO EASY to layer!

I'm not completely finished with this project, but wanted to give you a sneek peek...

I can't wait to get back to this project and finish it...I'll post it again once it's finished:)

Remain blessed:)

Your friendly "Frugal Scrapper Extraordinaire":)

MOSD goes to School!

Hello MOSD lovers! Amy here with today's blog post. Today I am doing things a bit different than usual. This project is actually not created by me! It's created by Kayla, my 10 year old daughter. Their 4th grade class had to create a tri-fold based on The Oregon Trail. Kayla had the bright idea of incorporating some wonderful MOSD products into her demonstration!

One item that she has been eyeballing for a long time are these spinners. She used the Perfectly Shaped - Retro Spinner. It's been covered in black cardstock and can easily be spun by younger kids (smaller hands) with the ribbon she attached to the back. This added an interactive aspect to the tri-fold that makes people interested in seeing what comes next when they spin it!

Another fun thing she did was cover MOSD Perfectly Shaped - Circles with lined paper and wrote her paragraphs on those as opposed to just a regular piece of paper. This added a visual interest and draws the readers eyes to the questions at hand. She used 3 perfectly shaped circles for this.


Overall I think she did a fabulous job on this school project, and she loved the fact that she got to incorporate some MOSD product into it. By posting this I wanted to show how versatile MOSD products are and that everyone can use them!! So next time you have a project that needs a little extra oomph, why not grab some MOSD goodness and spice it up a bit?!

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out what I (or in this case, my daughter) has been up to! We hope you all have a wonderful weekend full of sunshine and rainbows. Oh, and Kayla says Happy Bunnies too :)
