Modern Sugar Blvd Sneak Peek

Here is a little "sneak peek" of the projects I made for the Modern Sugar Blvd DT call. I will post the actual pictures once the store is officially open on April 20th. The design team will be announced tomorrow! :)

So many samples, so little time!

I have been franctically trying to prepare for my upcoming SU open house. Besides demos, I am trying to put together samples, gifts, door prizes...and who knows what else! So, I will be posting my examples as I make them. They are all VERY easy and simple.
This scrapbook page was made using only stamps and a few little pieces of paper. I love this stamp set (SU-Bugs & Kisses). Ever since my son was born I have used it more and more. This is especially handy since he LOVES dirt! I stamped the bugs and put them around the picture and along the bottom of the page. The letter "C" is from the SU set "Big Deal Alphabet". I took the picture of this page on a blue cardstock background. The page is actually 6x6 and white.

This monogrammed card was super easy to make. I just stamped the background with a flower from the SU set "Garden Greetings". The dot border is from the same set. I attached the two pieces of "Green Galore" and "Tempting Turquoise" paper together and stamped the "W" in the corner (SU-Big Deal Alphabet).














These are two sample cards I made to hang on my display board. I used "Garden Greetings" & "Just Buzzin' By", both from SU. The flower on the red card is pop-dotted 3 times on each layer.

Lastly, this is the final Post-It note holder I am making for the door prize drawings. I made three total. I am not 100% sure I will use only the notepad holders, but I will at least use one. They are so simple to make. I put the instructions in the "Game Night Scorecard" post. I think these will also make great hostess gifts as well as demo ideas.



















Well, I am on my way. I have a lot more to do, but it helps knowing that some things are done! :)

Bawdy little monkey!

Isn't this little guy just too cute!? (The monkey is pretty sweet too!)

Stamps: CC Designs Digi Stamp
Paper: Bazzill cardstock (from Archiver's)
Embossing: Cuttlebug embossing folder(Spots and Dots)

I am a huge monkey fan! It just makes it that much better to have my little monkey on the page too! :)

Creator - A God who answers prayer!

I decided to do an 8x8 scrapbook page for this challenge in addition to the ATC. (I'm determined to make a whole set!)

I used twine to attach the buttons and create a sort of border along the edge of the picture. I added the circle phrase to the top button so that I could tie in my theme of a Creator who blesses us and hears our prayers.

When I think about God as our creator and how He loves us so much that He created the whole world for us, I think about my son. I am so grateful for him! We didn't think we could even have kids, and then Colson came along!

After praying for seven years to blessed with children, I figured that God did not intend for us to be parents. I wasn't terribly upset. I reminded myself that God works everything for our good. I just thought that my good did not include children. Within a few months I found out I was pregnant!!

We haven't stopped rejoicing since!!

I am so thankful for a creator who loves us and doesn't stop blessing us! Even in spite of ourselves!!
