MDS Tuesday… on Wednesday!

Hi Everyone!

We're on vacation this week – the first half was spent in Washington DC! After 5 days of walking and walking and walking some more…… we're back home and having a VERY lazy day keeping our feet UP on the couch! Which is giving me some time to catch up on some MDS pages : ) — I had every intention of working on some pages in the evenings…. but Brad and I were so exhausted that we passed right out along with Landon around 9 pm every night – so that didn't happen! Which means I skipped MDS Tuesday…. so here I am on Wednesday : ).

I'm still not working until next Monday… but…. I leave My Digital Studio out of the "work" category because it's still something I simply enjoy for myself. So if you've sent me an e-mail over the past few days – hang in there! I'll be back to e-mails and the rest on Monday!

The pages I'm sharing today are of Landon eating "Real" food for the first time… It's crazy, but I've HARDLY used the "Play Date" line – even though it's perfect for kids photos! When I came to that realization, and then saw how great the line matched with the bib he was wearing, it wasn't too hard to throw this layout together…

(In addition to the My Digital Studio software and content that comes with it, I also used the following downloads: Eat Cake DSP, 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/2" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Soft Subtles Buttons, Baker's Twine and Play Date Embellishments)

Have a PLAY DATE! September Card Kit.

Nope, I haven't died. I'm still alive and kickin'…. just not stampin'!!! Well… I've been stamping, just not anything that I can show here because it's been design work for upcoming exclusive Team Member Events!! Mostly, things have just been busy with Brad's new job and family with summer winding down (it went by WAY too fast and now we're trying to cram everything we didn't do in to the last couple weeks!) But things are starting to slowly settle down (after several nights of going to bed at 3 am…) so you'll be hearing more from me!

Today I wanted to share with you the September Card Kit of the Month that is now available through September 15th! I'm REALLY excited about this one because of the "gift-giving twist" that you can give it (or you can just stick with regular card kitting). Read on for details!

Card Kits are the Stamping Classes that Come Right to Your Door!

The Card Kit of the Month Program – September 2010
Featured Set: “Funky Four” & Featured Accessory: Brights Glimmer Brads
  Featured Stamp Set for the YEAR: Teeny Tiny Wishes

You'll receive the supplies to create SIX of EACH design shown above–that means all of the consumable supplies that you need to create 12 cards total (adhesive excluded).  You'll also receive 2 additional full-color samples of "alternative" cards that you can make with the combined contents of the kit.  In addition, you'll receive detailed step-by-step instructions on how to complete each of the four designs.  The price of the Card Kit is just $20–that's less than $1.70 per card!  Orders for the Card Kits must be received by September 20th.  You'll receive your kit by the end of the month.

ADDITIONAL "BONUS" IDEA FOR SEPTEMBER! With the kids heading back to school, think teacher's gifts! This card kit is PERFECT for making this very thing (yet doesn't "scream" school so it's versatile enough for ANYONE to use!). With your card kit, you'll have the ability to create 3 of each of the 4 designs featured in the Card Kit – which means that you can create 4-pack card sets as gifts! And what makes it even BETTER and "meant to be"!? Stampin' Up! sells a 3-Pack of Gusseted Envelopes that coordinate for just $5.95! The set of 4 cards and envelopes will git in to one of these envelopes, creating the PERFECT touch for a gift giving solution, and you'll have not one but THREE gifts in the end! Here's a look at these Play Date Gusseted Envelopes:
